Questions for people who do Live2D as a full-time job (but if it's as an additional income, I'll listen to you too)

Live2D Help/Question

Hi everyone!
I’m really curious to hear from people who do Live2D rigging (or art + rigging) as their main source of income, not just a side gig.

I’m just starting to learn Live2D and I want to understand what the workflow and the business side really look like when it’s your full-time job.
If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d love to know:

  • Is Live2D your only source of income, or do you combine it with other art jobs?
  • How do you find and manage clients — do you mostly work through commissions, a studio, or platforms like Fiverr/Skeb?
  • Are there dry periods when there are no orders at all? How do you handle that?
  • How long does it usually take you to complete one model (art + rig)?
  • Do you make enough money from it to cover your living expenses?
  • What do you wish you’d known when you started rigging professionally?

Any advice or personal experience would be super helpful. I want to understand what to expect if I try to take this more seriously one day.

Thanks so much to anyone who’s willing to share! 🙏✨
