the cute ace from space

maltsea asked:

(about 2d vtuber stuff) maybe a dumb question but ive looked at several tutorials and they were kinda confusing bc they all acted like i already had a model to rig. what kind of things did you have to make layers for so they could move? and how many iterations of the art did u have to make?

Pretty much everything I wanted to move independently I had on a different layer, like head, eyes, different parts of the hair, etc. Here's a screenshot of all the layers I used along with what everything looked like separated:

(the english tutorial on the official live2d youtube channel helped me a lot in figuring out what should be a separate layer)

I first drew everything unseparated like I would for a normal illustration, then redrew all the separate parts over that, which was a bit tedious haha

• My favorite tree is the sassafras because it has a fun name, it's easy to identify, its leaves smell really good, and it's a main ingredient in root beer (though most root beers use artificial flavoring now because the sassafras compound was found to be carcinogenic)!
• I don't know if I have a favorite flower because there are so many pretty ones, but I do love forget-me-nots a lot! They're very cute and I love the symbolism behind them~

⭐⭐

• I only need to finish one more class to get my degree in Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources!
• I love opossums, giant pandas, red pandas, and sloths. I want to work with any of those species someday, either wildlife rehabilitation for opossums or working in a zoo for the other species~

⭐

• I have a birth mark between my collarbones that I used to be really self-conscious about until a random kid in high school told me it looked cool, like a natural necklace or piercing!

heck yeah I'm so excited for ACNH!! I can't wait to decorate my island :)

darkhorsedouglas asked:

🌎-If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? Or, what's your favorite place you have visited?

ahh this one's hard to answer because there are so many places I'd like to go! I've always wanted to go to Japan, or see the art in Italy, or go to a chocolate factory in Switzerland lol

as for favorite place that I've visited, I studied abroad in Peru a few years ago and I absolutely loved it! I really really want to go back to Peru with a significant other some day, the weather was perfect, the food was amazing, and there were so many fun things to do~

naiad asked:

🛌-Are you an early bird or night owl? What's your favorite time of day or night?

I enjoy being awake in the early morning, but my body seems to default to staying up late and sleeping to noon, so I'm gonna go with night owl lol. I also have a lot of great memories of getting really hooked in a video game and playing until the sun rises haha

I think my favorite time might be 5 am because it's so rare that I'm awake then so it kind of has a surreal feel to it~

flowerfemme asked:

🏰-If you could live in any kind of building (castle, skyscraper, etc.), what kind would you live in?

I would love to live in a really fancy treehouse with solar panels so I could become one with the forest!

Kinda like this:
