@wispenwight @_moonshii STOP THEY ALL LOOK SO COOL 😭🩷

@obakepam If we happen to have a karaoke-style / non mixed singing examples posted on twitter, is that OK to link or no? I figure as long as you don't have to download it / it's easy to view via a link it would be fine, but I didn't want to assume anything!

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@RedfoxVt Hey it’s not so bad here! (I am mentally insane)

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

Trapped in VTuber Purgatory 💀

[tiago 🐈 @tiagozip_]

i made a map of everyone on twitter!
yes you're on there too ^w^

every account is placed next to the people they talk to, so you can find out where you are, which cluster claimed you, and exactly who you're stuck next to

@RedfoxVt @NOTinklypuff That would be someone who would need to use the restroom, I’d imagine 🤣

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

Hey moots / friends, if you get a follow notif from an account that LOOKS like me but is definitely NOT me, pls don't worry about it :)

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@abitofjoyvt @NOTinklypuff I HAVE NO IDEA LMAO sakdjfghasdf

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@WeiicArt your art is always sooooo good 🙏 Love the details & expression!! 🩷

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@alistjpeg Scheduled to play repo, but life wanted me to play frogger ig 😭

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

Very thankful to have mostly positive collab experiences here, but I suppose my worst collab I had was when I was actually the problem 💀

I’d gotten into a car crash on the way home from work & had to cancel an hour before, since I was stranded in the middle of the highway 🧍‍♀️

[community bf | alist @alistjpeg]

Do you guys have any bad collab experiences?

My worst one was a couple years ago with a VTuber. We were supposed to play Valorant together, but something came up on their end. They canceled less than an hour before we were scheduled to go live. I get that emergencies happen, so I reached out to reschedule… and got completely ghosted. A short while later, they even unfollowed me.

We had similar-sized audiences, so it wasn’t like I was a nobody to them. I was just left hanging with nothing. I hope they were okay, but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

@YunakoTV This is such a sweet thing to do for people, Yuna!! 🥹

Not entering myself, but replying / rting to help spread the word! The world needs more of your rigs 🥰

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@RosieJazzRaptor Oh nooooo 😭 I just KNOW it was gut wrenching when yall realized….

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

Back when I was first starting out, there was this one time I had been live for about an hour, and my single chatter didn’t tell me I was muted the WHOLE time😭

I got so embarrassed & discouraged that I ended the stream shortly after that 🥲

tell streamer about scuff, PLEASE🙏

[Mordraga0 @Mordraga0]

PSA: if a streamer has tech issues, tell them. Politely. "Hey, no game audio in your clips" takes 5 seconds and saves them hours.

I promise we'd rather know.

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

Don’t feel bad! I had something similar happen to me, but didn’t notice it for WEEKS 🥲 it was double game audio, but the duplicate was ever so quiet and only slightly offset. I only picked up on it when I played a quieter game and went “wait why does the menu sound like it’s clicking twice?” 🧍‍♀️

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@THE_Xiaojia I feel like the “stealing my work” angle is really misplaced in regards to clients 😭 Most clients just want a backup or a new arm toggle aksbsksb

the only person that would feasibly steal is ANOTHER RIG ARTIST, which is certainly food for thought🤔

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

The rig discourse is super interesting and definitely a conversation that needs to be had in the VTuber industry. I genuinely feel like serious considerations need to be made on both sides of the aisle.

As an artist, I totally understand wanting to protect your work / techniques / trade secrets from bad actors who may try to steal or take credit for it…

but at the same time you shouldn’t let an extreme what-if scenario stop you from giving your clients peace of mind over arguably their MOST IMPORTANT BRAND ASSET.

In OP’s case, they legit can’t get in contact with the rig artist anymore, so they’re screwed and have to start from scratch if they wanted to add even one small update.

In my case, I’m my own model artist, and can make as many updates and outfits as I want… but if something were to happen to my rig artist I’d ABSOLUTELY be fucked. I’d have to start back over from 0% again…and I dont know if y’all knew this but starting over ain’t cheap.

If I had the rig file on hand, I would have the ability to add new things and still preserve the original base from my rig mama in the event I can’t work with her anymore.

“But if you buy a game that doesn’t mean you OWN the source code!”

Sure, but you should at the very least be able to backup or modify your save file in case something happens😅

To further bring in the game analogy, if we didn’t have the source code for some games, then some of the best romhacks (aka add-ons) would never have happened.. imo multiple artists adding onto a work is really freaking cool but that’s just me I guess¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Going back to original subject, I feel like some level of mutual trust needs to happen here?

Model artists by default have to trust the client / rigger not to make a template or steal from the art PSD, —which even merged / flattened does still give a look into our process. So why don’t rig artists give that same level of trust to the client?

Most layman clients won’t be able to do anything with it anyway, but it gives them insurance to add onto their model in the event they can’t work with the original rigger for one reason or another (e.g artist is unavailable, client getting priced out, artist ceasing to rig more models, artist goes AWOL / passes way, etc)

If it’s a matter of a lack of trust, revise your contracts to protect your work and make clear guidelines and prohibitions on redistribution / copying / modification. And perhaps encourage your clients to notify you / advise you who they send the rig file to for your own record keeping.

If that’s STILL not enough and you don’t trust the client after all that… then maybe don’t work with them, hello??? 😀

[Wynterpuppy ♡Direwolf Dragon♡「Vulgradath Academy」 @WynterpuppyVT]

Riggers if I'm paying you to rig my model that file should also go to me. I PAID FOR IT. it is MY MODEL.

Like what is this industry ? I pay THOUSANDS of dollars to not own the file of my own rigged model ????

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

Yeah, twitter's gonna twitter... 🙃The conversation is incredibly nuanced, and there are valid points to be had on both the client's side and rigger's side

unfortunately, this has led to some people ragging on and name-calling rig artists... which is NOT helping drive the conversation toward a positive mutual understanding,,, 🫠

[Inklypuff 💫🌐 @inklypuff]

@lyro_vt You're so right tho lmao 🤣 too many folks don't even know how to adjust their tracking sensitivity asdjhfgsd😭
