it’s been so long since i was in the mood to listen to music, all i really get stuck in my head these days is the jazz piano bgm that i sometimes put on to fall asleep

nothing like excitedly chanting "i'm coming over this weekend!!" about going to stay with meg like it's not a 25hr journey to the literal other side of the planet 😍 I'M COMIN OVER!!!

ohmygod 🤲

mmm going through old art you love is dangerous when ur in the middle of an art block, but here we are

stream deck hotkeys changed my rigging LIFE so i made this set of #live2d icons for myself yeeears ago. finally made some new ones for blendshapes and 3d angles, so i thought it was time to share them on ko-fi! totally free, comes with 24 transparent pngs 💛 ko-fi.com/s/a4f3d2c692

screamingg i searched "cozy" on a wallpaper website and i was not ready for The Most Wallpaper possible results

Can’t imagine my life without @raynarvaezjr.sucks playing a simulator game in the background. Iconic tbh.

riggers, artists, any self-managed/employed work-from-home types, what's your Getting Started hack? how do you jump back into a wip in the morning? what's the Thing you do to transition between sleepy breakfast and actually being productive?

I think it's underappreciated that this site goes "we know you all came up with your own solution to things we don't have, and now that we have an official version we're working with your solution to combine the two"

v1.108 is rolling out today 🚚 Now live, at long last: Bookmarks, aka Saved Posts. For all those posts you'll definitely plan to come back to! Update the app and give it a try. The button is right down there 👇

i know u all love the steppies but you'll neverrrrr take these little leans away from me #live2wip somethin about a fixed point of gravity is just SO... 👌🤌

ohhhhhhh the carnal relief of opening live2d on monday morning, checking all the work i did on friday, and actually liking how it looks

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

hmm. has anyone else been having an issue for months where loading the twitch following page doesn't work the first time? i click it from my bookmarks bar and firefox is just an endless loading screen. then if i click it again while it's loading, it pops in instantly. every single time

eeeeee the urge to embroider my own clothes has been constantly growing, even though my needle skills are very basic. i’m SO happy with how this turned out, on one of my fave but very cheap/basic kmart hoodies 🥺

LOOK WHAT ZITA I MEAN OLIVER MADE FOR ME 🥺 got woken up with a cup of tea and everything

If you're going to talk about AI, talk about the damage it causes. Share information on its impact on the environment. The people who genuinely might just know better will respond to that, but the grifters and apologists Do Not Care. Stop giving them ANY space in creative spaces.

also this is my favourite mouth rigging thing. that lovely little mouth deformation on the angle xy. i wanna live there. for anyone still not using deformers for mouth shapes, i used to be you, but please trust me this is the promised land i love it here #live2dwip #live2d

doing a timesheet for rigging has been really helpful but unfortunately i now know exactly how many hours i spent agonising and redoing just the Angle X for these squirrel ears 😪

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

new fave couples routine: doing the daily squirdle on call together, then sitting in agonising silence for half an hour while we race to guess the daily contexto

sweet tiny dreams

GOIN TO ENGLAND THIS MONTH!!!

BLUE SKY DOES NOT PUNISH YOU FOR ADDING LINKS OR TAGS PLEASE ARTISTS, PUT YOUR SHOP LINK IN THE POST, YOU ARE FREE HERE!!! NO MORE "🔗 in b1o YOU DOnT HAVE TO CENSOR YOUR WORDS HERE!!!!

ugh sooo many interruptions today but glad to finally be rigging. also started using toggl to track my hours for each parameter or section i work on. i’m usually good at estimating ETAs but i want Hard Data 👏

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

Raffle prizes for @fidisart.bsky.social and @abstractkryptid.bsky.social, of their gorgeous OCs -- Alan and Kyrin. Hope you both like it!! I enjoyed drawing them so SO much. 🏳️‍🌈💖 #MiscArt

"License-free generics of the drug will be manufactured for use across 120 'high-incidence, resource-limited countries, which are primarily low- and lower-middle-income countries.'" finally, some good news

mortified to realise that i have been charging around $13/hour for my art & rig commissions. even worse, i can't fathom charging any more than that because i don't see anyone else working at that rate. goddammit i thought i was FAST too 😭

made a spreadsheet...... everything is easier to understand in a spreadsheet. i love you spreadsheets.

sleep has been so damn rough and restless this week, i'm so exhausted and demotivated every morning 😩 haven't had to open some lightning in a bottle in agessss, i hope it still works. time to hop back on twitter to browse the live2dwip tag 🙏

✨ HOW TO support artists for a lil money ✨ - ko-fi tip jar - buy a coffee! - patreon - a lot of artists have $1-5 tier ranges! - become a twitch sub (payout min) - sticker shops can have a lower price point! a couple bucks can go a LONG way for artists! u don't have to drop hundreds to support ✨💫

sooooo turns out i have hyperelasticity 😂 i love casually hangin out with my gf on call, but being so unmasked with them that they get to see all my weird fidgets and unflattering angles until one day theyre like uhhhhhh. huh. babe i think u have EDS

godddd i forgot how good this whole thread of tips is 🙏

AND if you've come from Photoshop and still have the muscle memory of automatically selecting layers with the move tool, you can do that with CSP's "Object" tool!! you can't choose the exclusions for it, but locked layers will automatically be ignored🙏
