“VTuber models have to be expensive to be good”

oh my, a banger!

The amount of people cussing me out for “underpaying the artist” have no idea how these sites work. Artist sets the price, anyone can buy and use these models. You missed the avalanche of Jenny models/memes last year and it shows 😭

These are JP sites, you can’t tip the artist. Tipping is not a thing in JP 🤡

@Tr1ppyTrixie You think we just got 50 bucks lying around like pieces of bread crumbs on the bathroom floor at 2:28am on a Tuesday morning in 2012? Cause we do but that don't mean you gotta assume shish-

I do have a funky stream, go check it out WED-SUN 5pm GMT!

yes but the urge to commission a 3000$ model… 🫣

People looking to try out Vtubing now have access to so many nice free or affordable options now compared to the early vtuber pioneers. It's so nice to be able to experiment and not break the bank to do so. Some people spend thousands only to realize it's not a hobby for them.

Absolutely this! My first ever Live2D model was done by an artist offering "scuffed" models. I got it, with toggles and rigging, for about $60. Sure, it's rough around the edges but I'm happy with it and it's helped give me a feel for whether this is right for me.

Sure if you want something specific, it might not be a thing, but theres still plenty of nice model not expencive like for me, theres a slime model that i believe is around 30$? so u can still have a great looking model for almost nothing!

I think a good mindset to have is, start small and make goals. I know I have an artist that I REALLY want a model from, but I just can’t afford it right now. So instead of looking at that negatively, I’ve turned it into something to work for if I really want it ❤️
