Recently completed VTuber commission of a cute little Jerboa Knight! Was a pleasure to work on such a fun character and I learnt a couple of new things about stylized shaders and rendering along the way.

A few people, most likely not from North America, started a passive protest about this by creating the Steam group called the Rest of the…
