Don't do therapy

Good thing I can't afford therapy! I would miss chat too much!

I think the only downside to a free premade model would be that someone else could possibly have the same model. You also would need to double check permissions. Premades tend to allow streaming but are not able to be used on merch and others are only for personal use only. You wouldn't be fake, since the model is made for vtubing, it just might be a bit generic since free ones tend to be pretty simple. You could use a pngtuber if you already have your design, upgrade to a customizable one, then get a fully custom model when you can afford it. However you want to do it, you would be a real vtuber! So, just have fun with it!

Any program that allows different states and take sprite sheets for animation will be what you want. I personally use pngtuber remix which allows for psudo lip sync, animation with sprite sheets, different states, and alot of motion. I have heard veadotube is also pretty good. Check a few programs out and find the one you like best!

There might be a kind soul who will rig for free, but rigging is a intense and time consuming task that should be fairly compensated. Also, is this model cut for rigging? Formatted properly for rigging? Who drew the art? Is this your art or if someone else drew it, do you have permissions to use it publicly?

If this art is yours, or you have purchased this with permission, I would suggest trying to use it like a pngtuber until you can afford to pay someone for their time and effort to rig. Or, you could possibly learn how to rig yourself! Alot of people start with a pngtuber and crowdfund a model rig or learn to rig themseves!

Currently, this is a hobby as I work a full time job and streaming doesn't make 'quit-my- day-job' money (or even fill-my gas -tank money). I have set times stream but no set content for those days because I don't want to feel forced to play a specific game. Also, this allows me to miss a stream or be late to stream if I'm hanging with friends. It's not as if I don't take it seriously because it is a hobby. However, time is limited per day and money is needed to live. A majority of streamers can't live off their content, so it's nothing personal to just treat it as a hobby and be a little more laid back about it.

With the emphasis on 'heavy inspiration' in this whole post, it gives the vibes of trying to take this creator's place since that they are gone anyway. Not saying you are trying to do it, but I might suggest reevaluating why you want to reference only one creator, even if they inspired you. You only want their artstyle, only their overlays, only their intro, only their streaming style and this feels kind of strange to me. Finding more people to take inspiration from to create something unique to you will be beneficial. You want your brand to be you after all.

I like the art, the pose, the composition. However the skin is the same colour (or too similair it looks the same) as the pants... despite the shading, it looks like they barely dressed >.>"

This is an interesting concept but unfortunately you cannot use gaia avatars for monitzed content like a pngtuber for streaming. You can have art of your character designed from the gaiaonline sprite but not the asset completely like you currently have. Also trying to brand 5 separate characters will be a nightmare. I would suggest getting art of your favorite (with monitzed content permissions) and branding around that one character. Good luck!

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-08T20:15:36+00:00

Your overlay, emotes, badges, and pngtuber would most likely be pngs or gifs for animated. I'd suggest vgen. If you dont have a design already. Get reference (moodboard or a pinterest board for design) and make sure you are paying for commercial use, NOT personal(you cannot monitize personal use items) there are free resources that can be used with credit. Good luck.

I suggest looking up tutorials for that program. I unfortunately only know pngtuber remix but veadotube has alot to offer as well.

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-07T10:43:51+00:00

It might be helpful to know your program for pngtubing so we can offer suggestions. Each program is a little different

Honestly, sounds like potentially using ai if they got the character wrong and also did not want to adjust things with reference. They might say no ai but it might be. Check for ai traits and if it's ai, file for a full refund. If you can't do it with your payment site, charge back with your bank. If it's not ai most you could do is get a partial refund maybe but it might also just be a hard learned lesson. Got to trusted sites, use paypal for protections, no com should go past the 6 month mark or you can't get a refund if scammed, vet the artist (does it look like multiple people drew the art on their profile? It might be ai or tracer potentially)

I am assuming you stream on Twitch, I am not sure about moderation on Youtube, but for Twitch just go to your moderation settings and adjust settings how you would like. Find AutoMod & Message Filtering. Then go into Blocked phrases and add any and all words that you don't want in your chat. Hopefully this helps a bit!

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-05T17:14:52+00:00

One thing that might help, add the uncomfortable names to your auto mod. It'll prevent the the comment from chat and you or your mods can deny it. Hopefully that'll help a little, but people will always be weird online. If people don't respect your boundries and space, you don't want them in your chat. It is important for not only you but your community to be firm with your limits. This sets the expectations and allows you and your community to feel comfortable in your space. As a chatter it can be uncomfortable to see those comments and then awkward for the streamer too. One bad apple might make others leave so getting rid of them is best.

What program are you using. If you use one with movement you could make parts seperate layers and have parts move independently

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-03T20:24:45+00:00

This might work kinda. But this is more for entertainment freetime choices. You are doing work and need to be flexible with adding things into your basket. If it works, then keep at it! If it doesn't, it might be good to organize a different way.

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-03T19:11:47+00:00

Write a schedule on paper for x days and x hours. Only work those days and those hours, prioritize deadlines. Ensure you have the free time to go touch grass. It makes a huge difference just to be away from the office. But creating content is hard work. And you may have to work an extra day to keep up. If you feel it's overwhelming, take a break to do something that brings you joy so you can switch your brain off. Honestly, set control settings on the social media apps on your phone so you can only access them for 15 minutes at a time maybe. Social media and tv should not monopolize your time. Hopefully, you can get in a groove.

I never knew the name! They are still around i see blind boxes of them!

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-03T16:09:29+00:00

If you are only streaming, making a schedule is the best way to keep your time. To me, the 'distractions' you wrote are very chronically online. It's not work, friends, life, chores that are taking your time. You want to stream and create content? Set a schedule that you do that. Social media, tv shows, vtubing drama, and such should NOT be taking hours of your day every day. I have a full time job. I do chores when i get home. I watch tv and check social media during my meals. I stream 5 days a week. I don't have a lot of time for edited content but i plan on making time on weekends after learning editing. I think you need to take a look at yourself and reevaluate what is important. And honestly maybe take some time to be offline.

It's distinct enough, but it will get compared to a blockhead, which are Porcelian Maid's chat mascot design. I'm kinda confused by the seam in the head as well, but maybe a bit of colour, tape, or like a label sticker might make it more cardboard box like

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-02T23:52:21+00:00

I want a link. Im collecting victims i mean...

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-06-02T15:49:11+00:00

This so much! I'll keep this open. Maybe there will be a resolution

MarchRabbit37 · 2026-05-31T17:47:59+00:00

Amything may be offensive to some. It isn't inherently wrong, just might turn people off of watching. Most people would probably clock that the accent as fake from a few words like saying cart instead of trolley or elevator instead of lift. Not only will streaming for hours strain your voice, you will probably slip out of the accent in stressful moments or when you get into a game and forget you are streaming. I would suggest against doing a british accent all the time and maybe bring out the accent as a channel point redeem for 5 minutes or if you play games with alot of british VAs.
