No one who share this trouble...
Added 2018-03-16 07:33:00 +0000 UTCI quit the company seven years ago and became free. And I started personal creative activities.
I was interested in making doujinshi done by many Japanese illustrators.
Many of them were secondary creations that with copyright characters.
Creators dye their favorite characters to their own colors and announce it as a work. Fans will be delighted to see it.
It was a very attractive cycle.
I can not draw pictures well, but I can do 3DCG instead. I decided to make a work with 3DCG. And to date I made about 10 works.
I had trouble. When a general illustrator creates a secondary creation doujinshi, you will most likely choose the characters you like at that time. There is no obstacle there.
If there were, it is a fight against my own ideas and paintings.
However, my way of the creation is a movie. I needed a voice actor there. It is a matter of course that it is difficult to find a voice actor that is similar to the original, because it is a secondary creation that individuals produce. However, when releasing it as a work, the good or bad judgment of the user always occurs. It is an evaluation that does not occur in doujin-shi(book).
Fortunately, when I've ever created a work I could meet a good voice actor. But it raised my own hurdles. I came to think that secondary creation movie made with not similar voice actor has no meaning.
Therefore, unlike other coterie writers, It is difficult to pick the most favorite character as a theme. That was my concern.
The woman I put behind this FaceRig is one of my most favorite characters. I may not make her moving picture work. Instead, I will carry on the creation together with my back.
この悩みを分かち合う仲間は居ません。
私は7年前に会社を辞めて自由になった。そして個人的な創作活動を始めた。
私は日本の多くのイラストレーターが行う同人誌の制作に興味が有った。
その多くは版権キャラクターを扱った二次創作だ。
クリエイターが好みのキャラクターを自分の色に染め、それを作品として発表する。それを見てファンが喜ぶ。
非常に魅力的なサイクルだった。
私は絵が上手く描けないが、かわりに3DCGが出来る。私は3DCGで作品を作る事にした。そして現在までに10個程作品を作った。
しかし私には悩みがあった。一般的なイラストレーターが二次創作同人誌を作る場合、そのとき一番好きなキャラクターを選ぶだろう。
そこには何の障害もない。もし有るとしたら自分のアイディアや画力との闘いだろう。
だが私が作るのは動画だ。そこには声優が必要だった。個人が制作する二次創作なので、オリジナルに似た声優を見つけるのは困難なのは当たり前である。しかし作品としてリリースする場合、ユーザーの判断の善し悪しは必ず発生する。それは同人誌では起こらない評価です。
幸運なことに、私が今まで作品を作るときは良い声優に巡り会えた。逆にそれが私自身のハードルを高めた。似ていない声優で作る二次創作動画には意味がないと思う様になった。
だから他の同人作家と違い、私は安易に一番好きなキャラクターを題材に選ぶ事はできない。それが私の悩みだった。
このFaceRigの背後に置いた女性は私が最も好きなキャラクターの1人です。私は彼女の動画作品を作ることはないかも知れない。その代わり、私は彼女を背負いながら共に創作を行います。

Yes, Making rigs for VRChat and FaceRIg is good experience for me. I have little knowledge of real-time 3D. The present condition is my self satisfaction. But I dream of being able to something good return to Patreon's supporters.

2018-03-18 09:45:01 +0000 UTCFrom what I understand you do not want to create a character unless you can give that character the proper voice/soul. Though you did find a purpose to create one of your favorite characters because of VRChat and FaceRig which is great. The more experience the better. Please continue to create your unique work. I do hope you find the proper voice actor to give your character life. Also hope to see her sometime in the future. Stay well.
2018-03-17 14:52:37 +0000 UTCSorry, everyone may have thought that I was depressed. It is not. As ever, I can not make her movies unless I can find a VA. But I found another reason to make this character's 3D model. That was FaceRig. I was interested in VRChat and FaceRig and wanted to make a model. But I did not want to wear girls' costumes and talk with their own voice. So I thought about placing a woman I would not talk next to. It looked good, as I imagined. I'm satisfied ⁽ ′ᴗ‵⁾b

2018-03-16 17:50:02 +0000 UTCThank you. It's okay ⁽ ′ᴗ‵⁾. In other words, I just stop to be patient. If I stop making Koyori-chan until find a voice actor, I probably will not be able to make it for the rest of my life time. In the creation of FaceRig, I needed a model (a woman who is close to me) that without talking.

2018-03-16 17:44:33 +0000 UTCSecondary creation is difficult. Rules are different depending on the country. I should originally make the original. Well, I will not take this story here (´ ε` )

2018-03-16 17:37:00 +0000 UTC長年アイディアだけ揉んできたので動画にした場合のストーリーまで考えてあるのですが…声ないと意味が無いなと思うと結局モデルすら作る気になれなかったんですけどタガが外れました

2018-03-16 17:33:37 +0000 UTCHey! seismic! You're a wonderful person and the work you do is really great, so I hope you feel better soon. I know what it's like to struggle, feeling like you're alone while everyone around you is out making wonderful works on their own. It's easy to try to compare yourself to others, and feel like you're not as good as they are. But that's a trap! Don't let your mind trick you into thinking that what you're doing isn't valuable, because it is. A lot of people love your work, to the point where it's even celebrated on certain imageboards. I hope you are able to complete all the projects that you want to complete. Stay well, friend.

2018-03-16 14:19:43 +0000 UTCWe apreciate you seismic. Koyori-chan is super cute. I can relate making things that you just love seeing but you cannot sell or use as I have this with music in some of my shows.. anime themed shows nobody would buy but I love making them. There are indeed people who change colors a bit and twist name so they call legally sell fan content and for the most it works really well! Being freelance is great because you make the decisions and not someone else.
2018-03-16 13:01:48 +0000 UTC私もこよりん大好きなので、作品としても見たいですね(^-^;
