i will no longer be taking comms which ask for oversexualization of traditional wear (kimonos/qipao/etc)
i know this is a majority of vtubers and i am not judging your characters in any way. i am just uncomfortable making lingerie-esque designs from traditional clothing

Someone accused me of using AI because I don’t have a timelapse…
Well… okay. This is what my timelapses look like 😭😭😭
overall, i personally do not have an issue with a wall of text, but i do see how other artists struggle with it — especially if it is a service that commonly requires a reference.
however, i do hope that some of these points will help you and clients.

in my experience, especially because i mainly do work with vtuber designs, many clients are new to the industry and do not have much experience of collaging a character together, or finding references. so have some patience with them because that may be the case.

instead of giving attitude and hostility (this goes both ways), communicate where the disconnect is. for the artist, explain the difference and why your service requires it. for the client, explain your thinking and listen to the artist.

my popcat service, for example, is a quick fugitech reactive img, and its request form only has one portion that the client can type in, asking what i would need to focus on. this allows the client to bring forth details that are often overlooked in their design.

but, if you really struggle with text, and do much better with visual aids, make sure you state and communicate that with the client in the form’s description.

4) if long text overwhelms you, use “short text” to limit the word count the client can give you. this will force them to summarize the main design details into the most important parts. i don’t recommend this, since clients understandably wish to have their design correct.

by having a more detailed form, the client will more likely be able to fully see and understand what you need from them. it will also allow save you the confusion with a wall of text. if all of this was in one text box, you’d probably become overwhelmed, so it helps sectioning.

hi, i do designs for vtubers using a wall of text and references and here’s what i found
(a thread)
this will educate the client in a professional manner, without the stress of a wall of text. if the client agrees, you can also ask for a collage of images for a reference (like the twt user did in the quoted twt).
