Would anyone be exited to see new (well, not exactly new) Keine Ron & Matsudappoiyo MMD models?
As some of you know, I had a huuuge thing with these two back in 2016. Not only did I have the default design models BUT ALSO 10-model packs with different versions BUT ALSO fem-version models BUT ALSO some song special designs. That's a lot, I'm still confused with how the f*** I did all that in like a month!
All those models were up for free download without any problems for half a year or so. They were downloaded over 4000 times (all combined), and kinda went very popular at a time, since there was (and still is) no other models of these characters with acceptable quality.
But with the success came the problems. To this day I still have no clue what exactly the problem was, was it actually a copyright issue or was a part of both models not as freely redistributed as I originally thought, but nevertheless all those models were taken down.
I was sad about at a time, but there wasn't much I could do. Except...
Why not remake them, so the UTAU characters won't die to never be remembered again, as it was before?
So in 2017 I actually remade them. As some of you probably aware, I changed my style in models to cartoonish 2D at a time. So I thought "OK I'll just make It simple, no copying original desigh, no dangerous parts with vague distribution rules, just my interpritation of them". Oh, but the keep the face - without it, they won't really be the same characters.
And I did it.
But I didn't release it to public. At a time I was dealing with CherryRose passing away and felt uncomfortable to submit anything here on this DA page. In RUMMD community the fandom was dying and I didn't have any motivation to post stuff since nobody would be interested in it anyway. So I just looked at those models, told myself that I was happy with how they turned out and put them to rest in my model folder.
Around the same time, I lost interest in doing MMD stuff completely.
All I do now is look in my edits from time to time and maybe post some good things that I made long time ago. Same with these two cuties.
The point is, now that I remembered about them I could put them up for download. But only If you are interested in it.
I'm not doing MMD anymore, but I believe that my models can come to life in someone else's hands. The only question is, is there enough hands to make an effort?
Please, tell me your thoughts in the comments!
2020 Update, I guess
* * *
Long time no see.
Currently this page serves only as an archive of MMD pics&models.
VISHNYA is still a host behind it. Sweet dear babe Cherry Rose (c) is sadly no longer with us. She has actually been gone since 2017, but I felt is wasn't really appropriate to disclose these news at a time.
Now, I don't do MMD stuff myself, I feel like the blooming hot era of endless original content has passed. It's time to move on, to create something I am interested in now.
But I am not sure how to do it from the artist page perspective.
There are three possible scenarios for me at this point:
1. I can leave this page as a zombie archive, not hosted, completely unactive. All model previews w/ links will remain, so you will be able to download stuff. Maybe I will even disclose all those passwords FINALLY (dear me these are annoying, I'm on the same page with you here). BUT: I will have to create fresh new page. All watchers, llamas, pageviews, features - all gone. 600+ watchers is too much for a dead page, honestly.
*Note: I know that I can hypothetically try promoting my new page here, but I really doubt that this will be helpful in regaining audience.
2. I will wipe this page clean of all MMD stuff. It will be turned into my fresh new artist page. A page full of content, regular updates, adopts&auctions&commissions&free stuff (oF cOuRsE). I will finally be able to submit stuff that I am passionate about and would have a packed audience of people that currently watch me. BUT: All of the model links will be taken down, so no one will be able to download any stuff anymore. Content style will be changed completely, MDD content will never be submitted here again.
*Note: I'm not sure if DeviantArt rules prohibit this type of actions, but if not - this route should be considered possible. If you have any info on that, please fill me in via notes or leave a comment down here.
3. All MMD content will remain, but will be stored as an outdated old stuff somewhere in the dark corner of the gallery. My new content will be submitted here, mixing with all MMD stuff in the search results. All model previews w/ links will remain, so you will be able to download stuff. However, content style will be changed completely, MDD content will never be submitted here again. The front view of the page also will promote only my new content (no more lame MMD allowed here, ha). BUT: I will be personally really unhappy about having my&Cherry's old content to mix with my new artistry and possibly spoil the expirience for me, as a creator, and for the audience, who came here for my new content.
I'm down to wait with all this untill January maybe, but it will definetely go down FOR REAL this time.
I have not decided yet, but honestly I'm leaning towards the second route.
What do you think? Please leave a comment!
New DA page is coming!
You still could find this one, but all the downloads and updates will be there!
Cherry Rose, sadly, will no more make MMD, but VISHNYA still will!
You gonna find a lot of old stuff that was taken down and many models you could download!
Stay tuned! :bademoticon:
