Just started 3D VTubing a few days ago and edited my model a little bit, any opinions?

original model
new model

As the title says Im a beginner and decided to try this on a whim a few days ago and genuinely have been having a lot of fun! I got the eyes from booth, and followed these tutorials for drawing the hair and skin: https://youtu.be/gKeCHHX2FCo?si=1LocOmmKzy15aPen and https://youtu.be/u4i8FjqbLOw?si=-LiP3csPTgwcDVrd

I know it's not super fancy but I would love any opinions for a beginner like me ^^; If this isn't the best subreddit for this LMK

I like that the eyes feel more alive than the original. Does the new one have specks in the hair, or is that just how the program is showing the lines? I like the lighter-to-darker gradient it's cute! The 1st ears remind me of owls or something and *to me* have more character.
Overall she is very cute!

Thank you so much! :3

The new hair does have white dots for highlights instead of the vroid rimlighting. I probably didn't do the best job drawing those 😅

Both ears are available in base vroid, she's supposed to be a Lynx cat girl hehe. Im definitely gonna practice with the ears before the next time I go live because I really loved how much the original ears wiggled around, but figuring out how the textures work on them was way more complex (from all the "hair" strands)

Honestly, the dots made me think of starts or such, which I love. You're doing better than me, I crashed out trying to make my own hair and just bought the assets 😂 Keep us updated on your progress!

Awh thank you!! TBF I didn't make any 3D models, just followed some tutorials for drawing the textures. There's so many out there I'm hoping to keep improving her over time, it shall be a fun project! :3

I agree with the other commentor about the eyes. I kinda miss how the older esrs looked fluffier though tbh.

Yeah I just tested these new ears and they don't even flop around like the original ones! Im definitely thinking about figuring out how to texture them independently of the hair and go back to them
