Client: Anime Jesus (Twitch VTuber)
Role: Lead Illustrator and Animator
Project Type: VTuber Branding | Stream Transition Animation
Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator | Adobe After Effects | Procreate
Project Overview
AJ, a growing Twitch VTuber, approached me for a custom transition animation to match his bird hybrid character theme. The goal was to design a smooth, fun, and personalized scene transition that elevated his live streaming experience while staying true to his VTuber identity.
My Approach
Logo Concept Drafting:
Sketched and refined the initial logo concepts in Procreate, blending bird-themed elements into AJ’s name for a personal and memorable design.
Vector Recreation:
Transferred the final logo sketch into Adobe Illustrator, refining it into a clean, scalable vector asset for animation use.
Character Vectorization:
Remocked AJ’s VTuber character into vector format, carefully matching original design details while preparing for animation flexibility.
Custom Animation:
In Adobe After Effects, I animated AJ’s character to “bite” the screen, creating a lively and signature stream transition.
I also designed custom vector feathers in his character’s colors, adding a dynamic, polished motion
Results
Delivered a smooth, energetic screen-bite transition tailored for Twitch live streaming.
Strengthened AJ’s VTuber brand identity across his stream assets.
Created modular assets (logo, feathers, character art) for future use in overlays and content.
AJ’s viewers loved the playful, character-driven transition, making his streams feel more immersive and professional immediately after launch.
