## Transcript

do you want to make a v tuber icon for
yourself but you suck at drawing are you
struggling with money and can't
commission an artist well i have the
perfect solution for you i have found
three different websites you can use to
create a youtuber avatar or an icon for
yourself and you don't need any drawing
skills at all the first website is pick
crew picker is a wonderful website where
you can make free icons for yourself to
get started with png or gift tubing it's
super easy to do you just go on the pick
your website and look at an icon maker
you like then make sure to read the
artist's tos if they're okay with you
using it for streaming and making videos
you can use google translate if you need
to if you see that they're okay with it
then you can go ahead and make yourself
an icon there are tons of customization
options depending on what the artist
drew in and it's a great way for you to
get an idea of what you want your v2
bean avatar to look like to get a
commission on later holt you better read
the artist's tos because some of them
are genuinely not okay with you using it
for streaming or youtubing especially if
you're making money off of it and some
of them require you to credit them you
better credit your artist or else you
might get a virus
if you've done all of that and it all
checks out then carry on to the start of
your v tubing journey okay i know i said
this video is going to have three
websites but i actually found a second
avatar maker called neca which is
similar to pit crew but it's all in
mandarin so for those of you who speak
mostly mandarin then i recommend
checking out this website now if you
want something that is more than just an
icon then you'll want to check out chat
chat is another free avatar maker that
you can use to png to their tos is
pretty straightforward and you're
allowed to use their avatars for
streaming and making youtube videos
there are some things you can't use it
for so i would double check the
website's tos it's easy to browse on
here so i suggest picking a character
creator that interests you the most and
start making your avatar it kind of
reminds me of those cute doll dress-up
games you might have played as a kid
there are tons and tons of
customizations that you can explore this
is really useful to get you an idea for
your own character design oh by the way
if you're enjoying this video so far
then please let me know by giving it a
thumbs up and subscribing for more video
tutorial content it's a free way to
support me and i would greatly
appreciate it now moving on to the third
website gotcha gotcha live character
creator is similar to chat up but they
have a more chippy feel to their avatars
it also offers a lot of different
customization and it's perfectly okay to
use for video and streaming i have seen
a lot of hype and tutorials on gacha
over the years so i'm kind of surprised
that no one's been talking about it at
least for vtubing there are other avatar
games you can play on the website but
i'd focus on just a character creation
okay so icons are great and all but what
if you want a full body model that's
already rigged and ready to use instead
of an icon well there are a bunch of
websites that offer free models that you
can try out especially if you want a
general idea of v tubing is something
you actually want to do don't worry i
have a video on that subject for all of
you to watch once you've made your png
your avatar you can stream it with it as
a reactive png or gif if you would like
to learn how to do that then watch my
brand new png and gift tubing video
right here thanks so much for watching
