MADE A NEW PNGTUBER FINALLY!!

[seabunnyarivt]

Been doing some rebranding on twitter for the sake of trying vtubing for fun and have so much art for my boy Arimist already cause i was making assets please look at him

Arimist goes by any pronouns, i just default to he/him, he’s a sea bunny prince from a world made of 90% water, here to learn about humans and earth through video games (it goes as well as you would imagine)

SD-I

Some fanart I did of @inkyprince s character SD-I! I saw their profile on my toyhouse notifications recently as well as the PNGtuber during the stream and loved the design, so I doodled them as warm-up for today :D

(also I saw the "fanart is welcome" reblog which may or may not convinced me too hehe)

[randomalistic]

hi :3 I saw your recent Wreck It Ralph vid (loved it) and seeing your avatar reminded me that I wanted to do something similar for my own vids? I am. Really bad at wording things my question is what size canvas did you use to draw them? And is there anything I need to keep in mind when implementing my own avatar into my YT vid like yt compressing the video or anything? I hope this makes sense like I said I suck at wording things 😭

Ooh okay!! Good question :] also I'm really happy you enjoyed!!

I am an amateur so idk how useful this info is but Here (dumps everything)

The emotes were made in Krita (any art software will work)

The canvas size was around 1000 x 1000 pixels

Starting out, doing a basic emotion sheet works well. Watching other PNGtuber videos helps you organize how many you may need and what emotions are used the most (expect to make 30 or more drawings, which is A LOT at first, and might take a couple weeks, but once you have them you can use them forever!)

Also start your video even if you're still working on emotes! It helps to sorta do everything at once :)

This grid doesn't cover everything I used (it was a very messy process) but it might be useful so here :)

I think its also a good idea to make a "base" and then mess with expressions from there. This one had a lot of usability. (and also a lot of layers)

Later on I found it most useful to listen to the stuff I recorded, and then make a drawing for that moment specifically. You can then apply that "emotion" to other places where it fits

this is probably my favorite example because i based the expression off King Candy LOL. USING REFERENCES IS FUN !!!!!!!!! And I ended up using this one a lot !

Also expect a lot of rejected designs and struggling w drawing expressions because it's Hard. Developing the style you want takes a lot of time!! (I scrapped these 3 i made early on)

//

Exporting and YouTube processing was a little tricky but here’s what worked for me:

- I used Davinci Resolve to export the project. My video was made at 24fps, the same framerate as my footage. (The Movie) Earlier on, I kept noticing my audio was too loud and weird glitchy visual artifacts kept showing up. After trial and error I found these settings worked the best:

Main takeaway, i legit dont understand how any of this works but:

ITU-R BS.1770-4 normalization for audio is Good

Lower your finished audio track to -13.5dB. It will sound quiet, but YouTube likes this and will make it a normal volume

H.265 encoding with .mov format (aka QuickTime) is Good

And that's probably enough infodumping for now. Its okay to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start but making a video is SO FUN and i encourage it more than anything :))) Take your time and learn at your own pace! There are lots of great tutorials online.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY EXISTING QUESTIONS

[nikoco11]

Have you thought of maybe streaming again? :3 maybe your comms or just personal art idk

I WANT TO SO BAD U HAVE NO IDEA i just keep gettig rlly stuck on wanting a cute super cute stream overlay and then i don’t wanna actually design it at all. i might force myself to just make pngtuber and call it quits there LOL just so i start doing it again…. but i love branding….wah…

[doodlebless]

PNGtuber time!

I had a PNGtuber a while ago but I just love them so much I find myself going back to designing them. This time I added an additional frame in the blink and mouth movements. Much better! :D

[docdufresne]

I never posted here but I made a pngtuber this year and he was so fun to make and I dont stream often but I really love his design!!

[larrythefloridaman]

So ive made two other fankids for cpuk ships and they were pretty straightforward conceptually, but for a while i couldnt think of anything interesting for hackshifter- felt clunky and odd to take the straightforward route, especially when I already see the Machs as essentially already being their Troubled Foster Kids now, so i didnt really see a point to inventing a new bio kid for them and didnt see any obvious avenues to make an Interesting design for one anyway. But then we rewatched CPUK Orange a few weeks ago and the implications of a line from j0hn got stuck in my head again and i made a creature

This is MachIIIna! 3M (pronounced Em) for short.

So, the idea with her is, when j0hn 'duplicated mach 2's AI and ran chess sims with it,' j0hn realized he was left with a fully formed artificial consciousness on his desktop, and, not feeling right about just getting rid of it, retooled it into a virtual assistant, who then eventually developed her own identity personality and quirks working from the same Baseline as CM2K.

Personality wise, shes like if an evil (read: mostly silly) supercomputer was a bratty teenage girl. The inferiority complex she and mach 2 were designed with is still present, but due to the healthier environment this mostly manifests as normal resentment of annoying siblings and normal teenage insecurity. If she was asked to watch Machi she'd put him in front of an ipad to watch cocomelon so she could go in the other room and complain to her besties while she played the most toxic demoman in tf2 you can concieve of, not pick fights with a baby, is what i mean.

She has no physical body- shes entirely digital. originally she just looked like that face display in the top right corner, but then she stole one of her dads' credit card information to commission herself a bunch of pngtuber style visual assets for self-expressions' sake and thats what the rest of the design shown here is. Views mach 2 as something like an estranged twin and will readily label herself the evil (and superior, having no binding to the limitations of flesh and blood! shes not being serious shes just playing up the the whole 'murder robot master computer' thing as a bit) twin, and they would look extremely similar if she had an organic body. Shes very overdramatic and expressive like him, but unlike him she's not really overcompensating, shes just Like That. Shes a very Loud sort of person. Type of girl to use a fainting couch for effect if she had a body. She loves explosives and keeps ordering bombs when j0hns not looking

She's able to hop around between the controls for most of the electronics in the lab, and likes to take the Nuke Suit out of the lab for joy rides sometimes. She's begged more than once for j0hn to let her take saferoth's controls for a spin like a 16 yr old asking to drive their dad's car, to which he obviously always says no. LOVES hacking into Riley's security camera feeds and spying on people it makes her feel like an omnipresent god of judgement (only really uses anything she learns to gossip with Larry or her internet friends. Singlehandedly responsible for the leaking of like half of what ends up in squid jenny's kerfuffle gossip reporting. She has no ability to keep a secret and doesnt care to develop one)

She wants to do tom and jerry shit to zapmouse its just cuteness aggression dont mind her

[omeletcat]

ALRIGHT SO, lets talk about text boxes, in almost every game, at least any that have a good story, have a text box where you can talk to the npc's. usually its a box below the screen with at least a name and then text in the middle, but i've been thinking about them a a lot, since the type of textbox for my game would impact the overall vibe A LOT, i want every chapter of my game to have a different vibe, my plans all have different themes for each town and place they go to. meaning that i want my text box to be simplistic and not to attracting. So i went to toby fox! , i love toby fox and his overal vibe, his text boxes are very simple, it has a white outlining and just a general black and white vibe with a single image of the character you are talking too.

Deltarune does smth similair except more detailed portraits and those little thingy's at the corners. i do have to say, as much as i admire Toby fox, and love his music... i have never played any of his games because i am broke as fuck i have played a bit of a demo before but that was AGGES ago, but AS SOON as i have enough money i will try it out!

BUT i don't want to copy toby fox, so i will try and take inspo from other games i like (and also havent played because i am broke...)

That and i find the black and white vibe to be to simplistic for my maximalist mind. So then another game i LOVE the art is great i have also been listening to its music before i knew it was from a game (and i also havent played it caus i'm broke..) OMORI!!

Omori also has a very simple vibe to it but it has multiple boxes 1 portrait that changes a lot! and a thingy where you can see the name of the person you are talking to! i also remember from a random jaiden animation stream i watched where she played Omori, that omori has a lot of cutesy text animations where it moves at certain words to give of better vibes, tone and emotions to what the npc's are saying.

Then one of the games i haven't played BUT i have seen almost every ending is the class of 09, the game that inspired me to make a game, then learn how to code, and decide to work on a completely different game lol

class of 09 is way different then omori and toby fox games. it has a very clear vibe to it, the paper and all is great, but it wouldn't work for me. something i LOVE is something that isn't rly a part of the text box, but the thing behind it. the fact that you can see 2 full body drawings of the characters (the player and the npc for example, just 2 characters in this specific one tho) and basic actions, and movements gives them SOO. MUCH PERSONALITY. i love pixel art, but its hard to animate emotions into them, and especially in my artstyle. so i always thought i'd learn to make more detailed images of my characters with a bunch of different poses and smash them together like pngtuber. that way you can see the person you are talking to and it would give them so much more personality and i would be able to draw all the little things i want to add to the sprites, but can't because its to small.

i also have Stardew in mind (A GAME I ACTUALLY PLAY) as just as omori it has a portrait and a name, then a text part, it has a wood theming just like all the ui in the game, and that fits stardew Perfectly! butt i don't know what that would be for my game.

So to make a conclusion, i need to design a simple, but interesting ui, with a place for a name, text and an at least torso and up image of the person you are talking to! then i either need to choose for a single colour and outline, or i can go the class of 09 and stardew vibe, and pick a texture and a vibe that fits the game, but since every chapter will be somewhere completely different (stardew is always in the valley and class of 09 is in a school most of the time so their textures fit)

so what would be a good texture that fits the vibe of the game, has a simple texture that won't class with completelly different themes of each chapter, has a perfect way to show the npc in the frame, and just... looks good.

the theming around my game is fairly simple, a kid's soul shatters into pieces and they try and find the pieces to find out who they were and how to ended up in the spirit world, meeting different people who all have differen story's on how they ended up in the spirit world, and spiritis themselves.

i have thought about maybe theming it around stars, since it is a MASSIVE part of the lore and aesthetic of the game, in the spirit world, there is no sun or moon, and stars float around that give off heat and light to the world. so i could do a galaxy textured textbox? but i feel thats to themed.\

anyway what do y'all think!! this is a rlyyyy long post that i've been thinking about making for ages now! pls tell me what you think i should do!!

[gnirewolf]

really big fan of daisy! im in the middle of designing a lynx character rn and im v much having daisy as a point of inspo. what are some big inspiration/thoughts for her design?

whoa!!! thanks for asking :] so identity stuff but basically in high school I created 2 dog fursonas and for the longest time I kinda just. super aligned with dogboy online, but while exploring gender stuff I've also been trying to push back against parts of myself that I've just kinda accepted and run with since high school! so enter catgirl fursona ideation

I've been really into greens and flowers since like 2021 or so, for a while I was just taking a lot of pics of nature cuz it fit and it made me fall in love with weird greens. a lot of this manifested in grove, but I still wanted to keep the green and floral theming for daisy cuz they're nice, but I was thinking about something a bit less sparklefurry for her. I've also always been into the idea of piercings so the industrial piercing was like, an ideal thing I requested

now that I'm thinking about it, the idea really formed when I thought about the name Peat Moss for an idea of like a cat PNGtuber sona, and I kinda repurposed the idea. but to go with the theme I was imagining like, a grey coloration overall but with mossy green accents

the last inspiration piece of the puzzle was choosing a lynx specifically. I was kinda super into the catgirl vibes of Kuri from @coochiekrab, and I was also really enjoying some of the lynx designs crisstail had done, so I thought a lynx would be cute as a specific kinda cat. I think after having 2 general dog fursonas for so long, I wanted something a bit more specific instead of just like a housecat vibe, ya know?

I really was happy with the end design of commissioning grove as a character design, so I decided to take all these details to @immogoat who did the actual designing, and I sent over a few color palette ideas, kinda still internally focused on the idea of something muted/common but with a colorful accent. and overall, I really liked the options he gave me!! I think I was a bit torn between 3, 4, 5, and 8, but in the end I went with 8 (with some tweaks). I'll also say, the gauge piercing was totally the artist's idea and now it's one of my fav features of daisy!! overall, top tier design experience ^w^

and here you can see the color palettes I sent, with the top one being kinda unique and the bottom two being more faithful to the original Peat Moss character idea

Hey I absolutely love your style!

I looked into your comms a bit and wondered if you'd consider doing pngtubers of giftubers? And it that's something you could do, how much would they cost?

hi! Thanks so much for reaching out. Yes I am definitely able to do at least the pngtubers, and since I have no experience with giftubers I am unable to say how well I can assist with that.

Cost would start off with the level of detail and number of images you'd be looking for. I have offered some "bulk discounts" to previous clients who were consistently working with me to create a bunch of merch designs, promo art, OC digital stickers/icons, so if you're on a really tight budget I might be able to work something out with you depending on your budget and what you're looking for.

This is old work for a client:

If you are seeking to monetize the commissioned work I will add a fee instead of asking for royalties.

I currently offer digital sketch busts at $50 each for personal use. Which is what I usually do for requests. Simple colouring flat or just quick cel shading, nothing elaborate. $75 each for a full body. If you wish for more detailed character and colouring than this, it starts at $100.

chibi is $30 each. Please understand level of detail cannot be high on chibi

since you'd be asking for a series of images we can talk about the number and bulk discount available for it.

[caspersscareschool]

imagine im sending all the emojis under Character Specific - i love when u talk about the versions of the turtles that exist in ur mind, theyre canon to me (has never watched the show or any movie)

you are the realest one out there I'm so serious. under cut because that's a lot of questions

first of all: she/her leo, he/it raph, he/him donnie, any/all mikey but mostly he/him unless the situation calls for it

🥊 Does Raph have anger issues? If so, how does Raph deal with his anger?

i guess you could say that it does, but its issues have more to do with the guilt and fear associated with feeling or expressing anger on any level. he relies a lot on leo's constant emotional support

🧶 Does Raph knit?

no, but yoshi sews. raph's hobbies include raising butterflies and stag beetles, planting herbs and then forgetting to water them and crying when they die a week later, basketball, and lacrosse (but only with leo). he also has a hamster named daisy whom he would kill himself for without a moment's hesitation

🗣️ Is your Leo the leader? Has he always been?

...there's not really a "leader" since that's not how families work in real life, but she's generally the dubious voice of reason and the one who carries everybody's water bottles and medications and whathaveyou. she resents this position a little but doesn't have the self awareness to confront it

🔥 Is Leo accident prone? Especially in the kitchen?

no ❤️ she's not good at cooking because she is too afraid of failure to put any effort towards building skills that don't come naturally to her, so if it was her job to cook dinner she'd just dump a bunch of hot sauce and tuna and jelly and cheese and gravy in a pot and go heheheyhehheehhehehe Soup👍

🔬 Is Donnie only interested in Tech?

I'm not entirely clear on what this question means. he has other interests outside stem, but in my verse his focus is much more on computer science and mechanical engineering than any other field of science, so he kind of doesn't gaf about biology or anything organic or "squishy." if that was the question. other interests include grindcore music, transformers, my little pony (the toys), swimming, gambling, arguing on forums, sculpting, 3d animation, girls, and other things.

🤖 Does your Donnie have a robot child?

Grins really huge.

🎨 Is Mikey the artist of the family?

yes but he's best at cartoons and graffiti and abstract designs. he also makes his own music (mostly experimental hip-hop). donnie is a far better representational artist, but he doesn't consider his work "art" since he doesn't have mikey's imagination or eye for color and he pays mikey disgusting amounts of dubiously-sourced money to draw his pngtuber rantsona. mikey in turn spends this money on fancy cheese

😈 Is Mikey a little shit?

what more is there to say. Yes

🐀 Was Splinter a human or an animal before he was mutated?

human. but don't worry about it

🧑‍🍼 How does Splinter raise the boys?

Jesus. i really don't know how to get into this without copy/pasting 3 pages of backstory from my notes doc. he did his best that's all i can say

💏 Does/Did Splinter have a significant other?

he had a weird bisexual thing. which is different. i can't disclose more at this time

🎤 Is April a reporter?

april is a first-year undergrad majoring in journalism and minoring in environmental science. she interns at her college newspaper, and lately has been going to dangerous lengths to uncover her "big break" so they'll let her do more than edit the crossword

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Is April considered a sibling?

she's like. okay. april is an integral part of their family, AND. she's also really not a surrogate/adopted/found sister in a literal sense. yoshi isn't her dad, and her relationship with the turtles is quite distinct from their relationship with each other as siblings, but it's still just as important, because she's family. like, found family outside of any traditional nuclear family roles. she's their best friend and they're her home away from home

🏒 Does Casey play hockey?

casey is such a minor character in my verse right now that it's actually kind of hysterical that they'd be on this list. they used to play, yeah.

🦸 Is Casey a vigilante?

they are a serial murderer.

[nymphrasis]

It really makes me happy that people have been kind and patient towards me ;w;. Honestly, it just puts a smile on my face and I feel incredibly grateful! I try my best to keep on trucking, both in the virtual space and irl >w<. I am slower with art as of late, which I hope to get out of that stump because I would love to finish up my art queues to work on both the ask blogs and do a art raffle, as a sort of thank you! Speaking of art, I really would love to try to work on gift art for other friends ;w;. I do a good amount for the same friends but I feel I should show my gratitude to others too! I even want to do fanart of smaller creators characters, to show that they are appreciated and I want them to continue doing their best with their works >w<!!! Oh and uh... Something I still want to try someday is being a gaming Youtuber! It was something younger me always wanted to do but never had the proper resources, nor editing knowledge at the time ;//w//;. I still don't have knowledge towards video editing but I do know there are tutorials to help with that! Heck, I even made a chibi PNGTuber model of my updated Persona, although she isn't done just yet qwp. Here is the design tho!

I, uh... Want to do this thing, not all the time but here and there sometimes, where Youtubers back in the day do shout outs ;//u//;. Because I would love to give others recognition! Will I have the numbers? I don't know really. Admittedly me wanting to be a Youtuber is just to do this for fun and to help kick me out of my shell, to get comfortable socializing with other people ;w;. I use to be a mega social butterfly but now I struggle to do that ^ ^". It's why I am doing my best to kick myself open. Twitch streams really help me open up a little, tbh ;;w;;! I really would love to do more of that. I, uh, havent done it for months tho. It is moreso because of two things, tho the first one is major to me. One is computer. While I did got the issue repaired, I am still paranoid that it would shut on and off on me again during streams ( It has happened several times months ago ). It's why I plan to get a new computer instead ( I'll need to do a lot of art to achieve that, considering that most of my money is spent for irl care of myself, like food and internet ;w; ). Another is family. I have noticed that they would try to come in more and more without knocking, or respecting that I am preoccupied with something ^ ^". Youtubing feels easier for the time being because at least I could pause recording here and there, in case family tries to interrupt again ;;w;;.

But uh sorry for rambling ;;. I have so much I really want to do, to regain my confidence again and socialize with so many people like I have in the past! I really would love to create new friends and really need to try my darnest to properly socialize again ( Instead of hiding and only speaking with a small specific group because aaaaaa I havent fully quite gotten out of my shell yet. I am getting there and have been making slow but good progress! I hope to keep this up! ) Being a social butterfly again, become a Youtuber and Twitch streamer, successfully create my first game, create my own family, and just have a fun happy life! Really just want to vibe and make others happy >w<!

Thank you to those that have read this ;w; You guys and friends makes me feel appreciated and want to continue forward
