I heard that this kind of artwork with expression variations can be called a "Character Stand Illustration," but I'm curious if that's actually what people usually call it. If there's a more common or clearer term, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know!

My stomach was really acting up and I ended up in bed for about two days~ 😂 I'm slowly getting back to eating normal meals now, though. It's really made me appreciate the little everyday things we tend to take for granted... Please take good care of yourselves, everyone! 💕

This is just a personal little struggle, but I always end up getting curious about the manga that pops up between ads on Twitter and clicking on them. 😂 It’s not necessarily a bad thing since I get to discover some interesting stuff... but there goes my free time.🥹

Of course, I still need to clean everything up properly from here, so I wouldn't call it finished yet. But I think I've got a solid foundation for making PNGTubers with simple animations now. The only thing left is... whether I can actually draw things that move nicely. 🥹

I think I could get it moving pretty much the way I want if I can just figure out why the sprite sheet keeps mysteriously shrinking. As for the desk bouncing along with it... I guess I'll just call it part of the charm. 😂

Of course, I can reply in English too, so feel free to talk to me in English! Being able to translate things so easily these days has really lowered the barrier to communication. I have to give AI some credit for that. 😗

PNGTubers are pretty rare in Japan—you almost never see them here—so it's a little hard for me to imagine what makes people choose PNGTuber models. That's why I'd love to hear what everyone is looking for or would like to see in one.

Thinking about what kinds of expressions only a PNGTuber can really do~. I'd love to come up with something that Live2D can't do, but then again, a simple, lightweight model probably has its own appeal too. Kinda struggling to decide what to make for my next sample...🤔

Sometimes I wonder if my designs are a little too simple. I mean, I make them that way because I genuinely love simple designs, but every now and then I wonder if I should make them a little more flashy. I know I should trust the things I love, though...🤔

I create things with the mindset that “if I didn’t make it with my own hands, it wouldn’t feel meaningful to me.” …In other words, everything I create is genuinely made by me, so please feel comfortable using my work.

It's really hot where I live around this time of year. And after several years of observation, I've finally proven that I'm terrible at dealing with the heat... which means I've been feeling awful way too often. 😭 Please take good care of yourselves, everyone!

As announced on stream, I'm doing a Subathon on September. Starting on August 31st, we're streaming until October 1st everyday. (Except Sunday) There'll be goals along the way so I hope you're ready for it!
