• Signature Elements: Include memorable accessories or traits

Live2D Preparation

• Clean Linework: Crisp lines without sketchy edges
• Flat Colors: Minimize complex gradients for easier rigging
• Separated Elements: Hair, face, clothing clearly distinguishable
• Front-Facing: Standard neutral pose facing camera

Expression Sheets

• Consistency: Same art style and proportions throughout
• Range: Include basic emotions plus character-specific expressions
• Clear Differences: Each expression should be instantly recognizable
• Grid Layout: Organized arrangement for easy reference

Accessories & Props

• Scale Reference: Show items at appropriate size
• Multiple Angles: Different views if needed for animation
• Transparent Background: Easy to composite in streaming software
