Found some time to work on the V VTuber model today. Lots of projects on the plate rn but I'm kinda liking the momentum #MurderDrones #Live2D #fanart

Flat colors for Starby's model are done! This is the phase the models usually look the worst, so I'm very happy to get shading very soon!! #VgenCommㅤ #Live2D

VTuber Model sketch for Startled_Starby I'm having so much fun working on this, and I'm really happy with how she's turning out 🥺 It's so good to be working on a commission again #Live2D #VgenCommㅤ

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

WIP Flat colors and most of the rough separation work for V are done! What do you think about her hair shape? Not 100% certain about wether I'm happy with it. I'll start shading her now, so I'll hopefully get the art-side of the project done soon. #MurderDrones #Live2D #fanart

WIP Almost done with the flat colors and rough seperation for V (for everything but her head and tail..) Lot of the layer complexity of this model in this jacket so far, but i think its cool. Very excited to rig this.. when.. when i get there. #MurderDrones #Live2D

Quick question to #VGen clients! If you really loved an artist's work and everything else was great, would having to provide your legal name + billing address for an invoice make you hesitate or even walk away entirely? Curious about how much of a dealbreaker this is for people

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Feel free to be brutally honest. I've been losing my mind over this for a while and I'd really appreciate the input. This is something I'm legaly required to collect for proper invoicing, so I'm trying to figure out how much of a barrier it actually is for clients.

I have survived yet another semester, so I'm finally free to fully work on projects again for the next few months I'm hoping to open up comms sometime soon very quick doodle

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Little comparison between the old and the new I'm not 100% super duper satisfied with everything. Honestly, I could work this sketch to death for yet another week, but I'm stopping myself and just trusting the process.

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

WIP This is the final sketch for the V model I'm gonna go with I'll do just her regular outfit for now, but eventually I wanna go back and add all her other outfits from the show. (but I'm throwing in a big "MAYBE" just in case I can't) #MurderDrones #Live2D

#WIPㅤ I've picked up the V Live2D Project again! However, that old sketch from 2 years ago is way outdated, so I'm redoing it. I'm planning out how I'll separate her hair atm. not final #MurderDrones #Live2D

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Quick update: I hoped to open commissions for August, but I'm still trying to find my creative rhythm again and I'm kinda struggling to make anything right now. Taking this next month to work extra hard on getting back up to speed, with a new goal of mid-August/early September.

000

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

To get back into the swing of things, I'm updating my assets atm. So... Watermarks! Now wait for me make the complete new Cerfi design and make these outdated instantly because I'm a fool.

One thing I've learned trying to cut out distractions is that the brain will just look for the next best thing instead. If it's not social media, it's google rabbit holes, if its not that, it's staring out the window. it's like a Hydra. You chop one head off and it grows 3 more

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I've been cooking a new new Cerfi Design on medium-low in my brain for the past few months I can't stop doing quick 2 minute doodles on post-it notes. THEY ARE ESCAPING, HELP

010

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I'm vastly out of practice, so I'm gonna hold off on re-opening commissions until I've rebuild a solid workflow for myself. Until then, I'm gonna be working on personal projects when I find time!

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Hello 👋 I haven't been active for almost 6 months now. I've been focusing most of my efforts on university, which sadly did not leave me with much time or energy to make art the way I used to. I'm gonna take back off by showing off my last batch of commissions sometime soon.

#Live2DWIP #VGenComm Things have been slow, but Autumn's coming along well. These accessories have been so much work. Please tell me it was worth it.. qwq

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Also don't forget to do your Glue Weight. You dont want the glue to pull on the front mesh at all. For me that was Glue A. Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted-Talk or whatever you call these things! :> A thread?... What's that?

010

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

I put the Inner Vertices really close here to minimize the gap as much as possible. Then you just glue that inner edge up and when you move the back piece, it will stay attached no matter the angle. And same thing for the linefill.

110

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Also you want to make absolutely sure the AA edge is not getting stretched. The stretch should be a solid chunk of color. Otherwise you'd stretch out that blurry piece which does not look pleasant.

110

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Mesh-wise, the outer edge is contained between 2 rows of vertices. This is so theres an anti-aliased edge on the outside. But yea, this does produce a little gap on the stretch.

120

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Minus any effect masks, this whole thing's essentially just 4 layers. a front piece, and a back piece and 2 identical linefill layers. The back piece works best as a solid color. But masks can be applied afterward no problem.

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

I wanna show off how I rigged the hair pin on Autumn's model. Its nothing crazy but I think it's cool? Ive always had issues with these flat disk-like objects. Having 2 layers kinda works on one axis at a time but when the corners get involved it all goes to hell. #Live2D 🧵

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

I do still wanna show off the old version. Even though we scraped it, it was still a very interesting experiment for a potential future style evolution

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

#Live2D #Live2WIP Hair shading and separation done. Took longer than expected. Client wasn't happy with the texture of the hair and we agreed that I'd redo the shading from scratch in a more simplified and less glossy manner. vt: Autumn Arborose art: me

I've been doing so much Live2D, that I Havent drawn in this style in a while. This thick-lined style just doesn't work as well for models. Also, some design changes for Cerfi! (I missed the blue hair so much..) This took me SO MUCH longer than a simple chibi headshot should've! q.q #GerVTuber

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Liebe #GerVTuber community!! Mal angenommen ihr möchtet Live2D lernen, oder müsstet es nocheinmal lernen: Was würdet ihr euch von einer Tutorialserie erhoffen? Aktuell nur ne Idee. Zeit und Energie ist knapp. 😭 Es wird noch lange dauern, aber ich möchte es richtig machen!

011

ArcticCerfi @arcticcerfi.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Sooo... I wrote a lil' CLI tool to stop Live2D from turning layers into "ArtMesh17" and ruining my life. I call it PSDLint. It validates a PSD on wether it will produce incoherent IDs and it also has some functionality for mass editing layer names! #Live2D github.com/ArcticCerfi/psdlint
