Another VTuber project from earlier this year, this was a personal project where my goal was to learn applying realistic face tracking to a non human character.

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.
