I've updated my design once more ^w^ I don't really text post on X, so I might as well go off here- I'm so much happier with this iteration! I feel like it reflects my personality a lot more.
The key to a great vtuber design (IMO) is having a clear set of motifs that play into their character's personality and job/role. It should be immediately obvious to the viewer what kind of vibe they are getting into, when they click on a video. A vtuber's brand is their personality, so the strength of the design (while not fully necessary) can play a key role in their success.
In my case I wanted to appear NEET adjacent and very homebody-y. I tried to keep the details consistent with my motifs (ex. zippers, stuffing). Also tried to contrast the small detailed trinkets with larger open bits. :>
This is my old design iteration!
There are a variety of issues with it (one of them being the black blending in too much with Clip Studio to look good). The silhouette is also a bit boring LOL
I was trying to go for a balance between soft and edgy themes, but it kind of came out a bit muddled. A lot of the motifs feel a bit generic menhera-y and don't say a lot about me ;-;
