Another period of free time, another personal model to probably not complete 😌

I've been thinking... Would there be any interest in merch for some of my public models? (∗´ര ᎑ ര`∗) idk if it's a little weird for the model maker to be selling it rather than a model's pilot but I just think it might be cool to sell some physical stuff... (1/3)

I made a thing! I got a couple of requests to make a water bottle toggle for my rat and bunny vtuber models so why not make a live2d item that also covers my arse for any future small animal models :D As always retweets are greatly appreciated ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ

You can find all the fishy (and technically not fish) friends here vgen - vgen.co/ShadowPhoeni... Etsy - www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Shad...

All the creatures in my sea themed asset pack are now available separately for cheaper prices!

I feel like I should make more sea slug items. I mean I've still got 5 antennas free! If anyone remembers my sea asset pack, I'll be putting some stuff for sale separately or in smaller packs. So if you wanted something but not the whole pack, be sure to keep an eye out (˶>⩊<˶)

Opening my commissions! Quick updates: changed some prices for character designs on my website so please have a look if you're interested. Realised I was falling into a trap of doing chibi art for my mascot model tier so I drew a mascot version of my dragon model as a reference...

Finished cleaning up the blank base version of the rat so I'm now opening for recolours and illustrations! Please don't message me on Vgen or Etsy if you're interested as I don't do commissions through them

lol

Ear customisation options! I've gotten so used to the dumbo ears, that the top ears look strange to me now😭 Also finished all the toggles now (you'll have to wait till the showcase to see most of them) so rat is officially in the final testing and fixing stage! yay!

More held items! Only got asked to add the cheese and pea but I couldn't resist the urge to add a plushie >_< Plus y'all remember those pictures of rats holding teddy bears that were going around ages ago right?! It's clearly a very relevant ratty toggle🥺

Final art only post of @koopsiekoo.bsky.social 's Battotron! He's just a lil guy !🥺

controller update! All the buttons are functional now, yay! plus added a couple more toggles Now done all the toggles I had planned so I'll mainly be doing simple emotes next. As it'll be a public model, if anyone has any toggles they'd like to see, I am open to suggestions👌

Test run so I can larp as a lets play vtuber for a couple of minutes lol. ...I mean, I am very serious gamer rat! ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡ )

About time I added one of these toggles to one of my public models

Another sneak peak! Gotta buy myself time before I show off any rigging 😌 co: @koopsiekoo.bsky.social

Gotta give the rat a snack! And if you don't like cereal as the snack of choice, they now got a toggle to hold any kinda item that will fit in their grubby little paws

An important message is coming through! Sneak peak at the mascot model commission for @koopsiekoo.bsky.social!

How about you and me underneath the water bottle? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Of course there has to be an air jail toggle, how else will they know they owe me money?! Also if anyone wanted a male rat ...err lets just say they got the Hollywood treatment lol😅

Base rigging done! Time to do some fun ratty toggles!

Head turns WIP!

Testing the face tracking! It was very important that the eyes can do that 😤 Kinda debating whether to have the smile activated boggling be there by default or not (not that it would be hard to remove or add to tracking)

One last sneak peek! With this the animal should be more obvious right? >_<

Sneak Peek for the new public model I'm working on ⚞ • ⚟

My actual favourite reactions in animal crossing! Also made versions of the motion files and expressions that work with the bunny (I was silly and renamed some parameters) and just finished the set up guide (woo). Just gotta do the showcase and the listing now!

I feel like these might have potential use for announcing when you're ill? Like presuming you prepare a gif in advance. Also the little head shake villagers do after they sneeze is so cute!

My lag.... It's over 9000! (yes yes this meme is long past dead I know)

How I be feeling when my wifi isn't working and I'm meant to be doing final testing on these emotes before release.

Brrr! Got a few more to post but I have now done all the emotes (woo!) Just gotta make a few tweaks and some listing stuff and it will be good to go
