The Struggle to Find Blender VTuber Talent

When I first started seeking Blender VTuber commissions, I naively expected finding Blender experts would be easy. How hard could it be to locate artists skilled in such a popular 3D program like Blender, right? Oh how wrong I was. 

My initial barrage of enthusiastic DMs was met with perplexed expressions and cautious skepticism. Even artists who were wizards in Maya, 3ds Max, and other modeling software seemed to draw a blank when it came to serious Blender work. I even got the classic “Why Blender specifically?” question, as if Blender were some sort of a mythical tool instead of a powerful free open-source tool!

After a series of awkward conversational gymnastics, resulting in an artist sheepishly admitting they weren’t as well-versed in Blender as I hoped, it became clear that high-quality Blender VTuber art was a rare find indeed.

Slowly but surely, it dawned on me — while Blender itself is incredibly versatile and widespread, the number of artists using it professionally for VTuber work seemed scarce. But this only strengthened my resolve to uncover those rare Blender gems!

And so, dear readers, let me introduce you to the mesmerizing talent that is Teiozemo, reigning supreme on Twitter. With just a peek into their portfolio, it’s clear that Teiozemo has mastered the art of VTuber creation in Blender.

Just look at the remarkable VRChat avatar they designed named Roxanne Wolf. Teiozemo flawlessly combined Blender and ZBrush to craft stunning 3D character art optimized for virtual interaction.

You can find Teiozemo on Discord at Teiozemo#9061. It’s there that you can discuss the possibility of commissioning them to craft your very own 3D VTuber model.

Commission costs are contingent upon the complexity and intricacies of the model you have in mind. On average, Teiozemo’s commission prices hover around $450.

The Struggle Explained

Now, you might be wondering, why is it that locating Blender VTuber artists is so tough compared to more widespread programs. A few key factors: Well, there are a few factors at play:

Maya’s Dominance in Professional Studios: The widespread use of tools like Maya in the professional studio arena has established it as a reigning champion. Blender faces a bit of an uphill battle to gain equal recognition in certain circles.

Blender’s Open-Source Aura: Blender’s open-source nature is a double-edged sword. While it empowers the community and fosters collaboration, it can sometimes cast a shadow on its potential for commercial-grade artistry.

Blender’s Niche in VTuber Artistry: When it comes to VTuber creations, Blender’s appeal might be considered somewhat specialized. Many artists and studios lean towards more mainstream options, which can leave Blender in the shadows.

Despite these challenges in finding Blender experts, the software itself remains incredibly powerful. In the hands of a specialist like Teiozemo, Blender allows remarkable creativity and customization!
