A thorough comparison of how to get a Vtuber's body! Custom-made vs. finished model
When starting out as a Vtuber, the first thing you need is a Live2D model of your own body. How you obtain it will have a major impact on the time, cost, and preparation process.
Here, we will explain the first issue that aspiring Vtubers face: "How do I get a Live2D model?", comparing the two methods of commissioning a model and purchasing a finished model. We will also introduce the features of the finished Live2D models sold in our shop.
Characteristics of commissioned production
Design freedom
The greatest appeal of commissioned production is that you can realize the design of your dreams. You can consult with the creator to create everything from hairstyle, costume, atmosphere, to small accessories, so it can become a completely original existence.
Price
However, because it is custom-made, it is inevitably expensive. If you ask a popular illustrator, it is not uncommon for the price to be in the hundreds of thousands of yen. While the value of having a "one-of-a-kind piece" is great, you will need to have a flexible budget.
Production period
Another drawback of commissioned production is that it takes time. It's common for it to take several weeks to several months, and depending on the creator's schedule, it can take even longer. This may not be suitable for people who want to start working right away.
exchange
Before the project is complete, there will be a lot of back and forth between the designer and the client, with adjustments to the design, rough reviews, requests for revisions, etc. This is a plus for those who find this process enjoyable, but a burden for those who want to cut down on the hassle.
Features of receiving a completed Live2D model
Easy design selection
The design of the finished product is already decided, so the task is to search for a model that suits your taste. It may take some time to find the ideal image, but that also makes it a special encounter that is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Price
A major advantage of finished products is their excellent cost performance. They are available at a lower price than custom-made products, making them ideal for those who want to start activities with minimal initial costs. Most models offer features that exceed their price, so take your time to look around.
Production period
The biggest advantage of a finished Live2D model is that it can be delivered on the same day. You can start streaming the same day you purchase it. This is a huge relief for those who want to start streaming right away!
exchange
The process from purchase to use is extremely simple. All you have to do is add it to your cart and pay, and there's almost no interaction required. It's perfect for people who want to use it right away without any hassle. It's also perfect for people who get nervous about interacting with creators.
Which method is right for you?
If you want to pursue your ideal, if you want something completely original → "Make it to order"
Want to keep costs down and get started right away → "Purchase the finished product"
Both are great ways to start your career as a Vtuber, but the best solution will vary depending on your goals, budget, and preparation time.
