FAQ

    ✦ How do I refer to you?You can call me R, otter, or any other nicknames! I am an adult by human standards and go by any pronouns, as I am a space otter with no concept of gender!    ✦ Did you make your own model?Yes, art and rig and all! And yes, I do take commissions, check my VGen if you're interested! You can also go see the otter children romp. ♥    ✦ What programs do you use?I draw on an iPad with an Apple Pencil and Procreate. Rigging is done in Live2D Cubism.    ✦ Can you make me something for free?I do not work for free or for exposure, sorry! But I do recommend you check out my Ko-fi, as that's where I post any free assets I make in my spare time.    ✦ Can we collab?If you are a fellow VTuber, perhaps; if we are mutuals, absolutely! Please note that I no longer stream, but I am happy to accompany you on your channel, whether it be to play games, make art, or just chat. DM me on Bluesky or Discord and we can discuss.    ✦ Who is otter caretaker?This is the human I am living with! He takes care of this tiny space otter and lets me use his computer.
