P4 Protag Yu And Yosuke! I Couldn't Resist Mostly Keeping To The Tactica Style, But There's Some Key

P4 Protag Yu and Yosuke! I couldn't resist mostly keeping to the Tactica style, but there's some key differences in there that sets them apart

Don't overlook any anomalies.

If you find anomalies, turn back immediately.

THE WAIT FOR PATCH 6 WAS WORTH IT OUGH LOOK AT HOW SWEET THEY ARE

fixing up a new vtuber model because my old one crashed and burned with the hard drive last year, sooooo-

i'm gonna definitely, DEFINITELY stream this year for sure. make this new year's resolution REAL

You’ve talked in the past about patreon’s anti-horny policies, and how they impact creator’s income streams, and so I thought maybe this could be of interest to you/others in that situation. Someone is trying to put together a collective legal action against Mastercard. https://x.com/pom_poison/status/1768753517651546540?s=46&t=366EMtqp8Vh2MIY7oWvoKw Please also feel free to ignore me! But it seemed neat.

PS I love your book, thank you for the excellent words!

Thank you so much! And thank you for bringing this to my attention.

My notes on this concept are rushed and messy, but this is more or less what I've got going on in my mind

For armor portraying emotions, I always think back to Starlight Brigade (a music video of a cartoon that doesn't exist-- I watched it a lot bc honestly it's gorgeous to look at).

Shoutout to Doctor Sung for my first example

Doctor Sung wears a helmet with a protrusion, and it's used in addition to the visor (and his mouth) to make different expressions! Anger/Intensity/Frustration makes him tilt his head down, causing the helmet to overlap the visor in an "eyebrows" sorta-way.

In addition, his visor becomes more rounded out when his expression is positive, and (while subtle,) the highlights on the visor widen out to give a more balanced effect when he's joyous!

Next example (though maybe not a good one for "expressions", perse) is Havve Hogan (a cyborg/robot/dunno what he is)

H.H. utilizes angles of the head to give off different vibes throughout the video. And, while subtle, the eyes placement changes the vibe too! In the first example, HH is looking up at the camera, from a downward angle.

Their upper head is more prominent, while the later examples show a lower-head prominence and a balanced ratio between upper/lower head.

it's kinda hard to articulate why these features changing change the emotion, but I hope I made an interesting sort of point here

and finally, how to translate that maybe? ok more or less, they're just doodles, but all you'd theoretically need to make an eyebrow-ridge work is a "big eyelid" the same color as the TV-base. The blinking should be super viable on its own, I would imagine.

I hope I've been somewhat helpful! My brain's real scattered tonight (long work day)

Hi Yes

Out of curiousity is it actually even possible to have a tvhead vtuber actually function the way I would want it too? It's different in that the face is not an organic shape but instead a rectangular box......may or maybe not with a face just barely seen underneath. ;D Regardless the screen should be able to morph. With the top able to basically be functioning eyebrows while the bottom may deform to 'smile' or 'frown'. And with the antennae able to bend much like animal ears. Oh and the screen should be able to flash static as a form of blinking basically. I'm not necessarily saying I'm looking for an artist or rig person to make that dream a reality but I was simply curious if that was possible on Live2D in any real capacity. Though I will consider commissioning someone perhaps.. Though I'd very much like to do it myself. Anyway. Just thought I'd ramble.
