Artist Q&A!

When do you stream? Do you have any plans on making YouTube content?
  • I typically stream when I have a solid, predictable opening in my week, and I'll do my best to update Twitter (Now X) with a pinned stream schedule for the week.
  • I do plan on making YouTube videos! I've always really liked the idea, and I'd love to share my drawing process or other silly ideas. It'll most likely be art-focused, I'm not an epic pro gamer.

     

How long have you been doing art?
  • I’ve been doing for most of my life, but I started doing commissions and client work in 2018! I started doing digital illustration work around that time as well.

     

What is normally your favorite part/step of a drawing?
  • My favorite part is usually adding unnecessary sparkles and texture, If the project allows it.

     

Are you accepting commissions?
  • For all new clients, please visit VGen for my current availability for both personal and commercial work. For larger companies or VTuber agencies, please email me at hello@lumi.fish

     

What art programs do you use?
  • I use Procreate and Clip Studio Paint 2.x for most of my Illustration work. I have experience using Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator as well.
  • For Vtuber Models, I draw and cut the parts in Clip Studio Paint, and use Live2D Cubism for rigging.

     

What art tablet/keyboard do you use?
  • I started doing digital art about 8 years ago on an iPad Pro! All of my recent work has been on an XPPen Artist 22 Pro (2nd Gen), and I recently got a XPPen Artist 12 (2nd Gen) that I’m excited to try out and review! I used to use a Wacom Intuos Art a long time ago, but have since preferred screen tablets.
  • I currently use a custom keyboard! Keychron Q65 QMK, Durock Sea Glass linear switches, with GMK Lavender keycaps.
  • I also use a TourBox Elite for Macros and drawing.

     

What has been your favorite project to work on?
  • My favorite project that I’ve worked on so far has been my live2d model! I learned a lot all at once between separating an illustration, to doing keyform animation in Live2D Cubism. It was a very ambitious undertaking with my extreme expectations, but I think it turned out really good for it being my first completed model!
  • I am more than sure that my 2.0 model will take that spot, and I'm looking forward to sharing the process with you!

    

Do you have any Original Characters (OCs)?
  • I do! I’m still making info pages for them, but I have quite a few! I hope you’ll stay tuned to learn more about them in the future.
  • I have done some DnD and Pathfinder campaigns, three PCs off the top of my head are Cinna (Variant Human Monk, DnD 5e), Vira (Half Elf Hunter, Pathfinder 1e) with her Wolf companion Mystel (who at higher levels takes on a consistent human form)! I plan on making some personal pieces for each of them when I am able, these blorbos mean a lot to me.
  • I have been considering making a short story, but I can't land on a theme. It would primarily focus on the character design and environmental work for use in a portfolio!
