Ophelia Zita Vtuber Model

So unknown to a lot of people on my NSFW twitter account, I'm currently working on a vtuber model for a friend (which is why sometimes I'm a bit slower in posting here).

But now that the full model artwork was released recently I can share some of the thought process, as well as my struggles with rigging!

My friend and I started out with spit-balling some ideas, as well I looked into the history/story of Ophelia, I learnt that she was most iconic known for her death in the river, so I proposed to my friend (who wanted a Kitsune character) the idea of an undead/spirit Kitsune (as in some Japanese folklore they call will-o-wisps 'Fox Fires' in english), my friend gave some clothing suggestions and I tried my best to incorporate a bit of her 3D model she had been using.
And we ended up with this!
I ended up working on the artwork for the model within a week, and looking back there are some things I'd definitely not say "this is future me's problem" cause I'm future me and some stuff did cause its own issues with the artwork, some I went back in and fixed before I could even continue with rigging.

She is currently not completed yet (as i write this I just finished her breathing animation), but I think for my first time rigging I'm doing not so bad a job.
My youtube history is absolutely full of me searching things like "live2d how to do breathing tutorial" or "live2d breast physics", and some stuff I've been having to guess myself as there aren't really tutorials on it (e.g. arm physics, earring physics etc).

What I've learnt in doing this is that Live2d is amazing, and it is an amazing feeling to see your art moving and "alive" in a sense. But also live2d is no picnic in the park to do, it has taken me over 2 months to get even somewhat close to the finish line (since I have other projects as well I'm working on). Will I do this again? Probably not, unless I either get really a lot better or a lot of paid requests to do it.
I did this because I wanted a friend to have a unique model and not have to fork out thousands of dollars for it, and I learnt something interesting along the way.

I attached some videos of some of the WIPs I took as I was working on it
