Now That I Have Become a Woman, I Am a Vtuber - Chapter 116

• Oh.
• Damn!
• Isn’t Miro getting a Helen skin?

“Miro’s Helen skin?”
Hmm… Miro wearing a denim jacket and hot pants? That sounds like a good fit. Maybe I’ll think about it later.

“I’ll think about it.”

• Oh.
• She’s really?
• (Fact) Says she’ll think about it but forgets.
• (Spoiler) Considers it but doesn’t do it.

“All right, enough small talk. Let’s start drawing.”

This time, I decided to draw properly, starting with a sketch.

People seem to have forgotten, but Miro’s character concept is a little demon. Pink hair with a cute little horn is her signature feature.

Of course, I’ll add horns, and the outfit will have a demonic feel, but the hair color can’t be changed.

In games like this, characters are often distinguished by hair color, and making her blonde, like Helen, would just confuse people. Besides, Helen’s golden hair is so gorgeous there’s no need to change it.

• Whoa.
• The sketch alone is impressive.
• Her sketching skills are top-notch.
• Why didn’t she do art streams until now?

“Why haven’t I done art streams? Well, I’ve had other things to do.”

• ???
• Other things (Beat Saber, Civilization).
• Yeah, right.
• (Spoiler) Plays Civilization tomorrow.

Anyway, I chatted with viewers while sketching.

I sketched Helen sitting with her legs stretched out, her upper body leaning forward, hands clasped under her chin, making a playful “Rawr!” pose.

It’s a pretty cute pose, but when someone as curvaceous as Helen does it, it feels… different. Adding a seductive smile on top changes the entire atmosphere of the drawing.

• Damn.
• This is incredible.
• Is this okay?
• The pose feels too suggestive.

“It’s too early for that kind of talk.”

I had only finished the sketch. Certain features might stand out because the character design itself is bold, but that’s unavoidable.

“Now, let’s start the line art.”

There’s still a lot to do—line art, coloring, shading, adding effects, and even working on the background.

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little overwhelmed.

This stream is going to take a while, but it’s a proper commission, so I can’t skimp.

The artist inside me is fired up.

I was determined to do a fantastic job, making the developers think, Wow, we really hit the jackpot with this one.

I carefully worked on the line art.

Some might ask, “What’s the big deal about line art?” But the strength and finesse of the lines can completely change the feel of the drawing.

• Oh.
• Wow, this is so clean.
• It’s amazing how precise it is.
• You’re on another level.

Even the viewers seemed impressed by the detail in the line art, judging by their comments.

Honestly, getting compliments live like this felt great.

“Ahem, watch closely… and don’t tell anyone!”

• ???
• What?

“If people find out how good I am at drawing, they’ll all start asking me to make thumbnails!”

Before long, I had finished the line art. The sketch had transformed into a fully outlined drawing.

If this were a normal art stream, I might have stopped here, but this was a paid commission. I planned to color it properly.

“Let’s take it up a notch, shall we?”

• Is there even a higher level?
• Miro is just a god-tier artist.

I started laying down base colors, beginning with the skin.

• Whoa.
• Is this okay?
• Look at that shading…

Hmm… Something felt off, so I covered the screen in red instead.

• Ah!
• My eyes!
• Couldn’t you warn us first?

The sudden flood of red light threw the chat into chaos. Feeling oddly satisfied, I apologized.

“Sorry about that. But hey, at least it’s not yellow, right?”

• Unbelievable…
• Change it back!
• I’m reporting you.

“All right, let’s color the clothes first. This feels a bit too much.”

I worked on Helen’s outfit, making some adjustments while staying true to the original design.

The denim jacket’s edges were drawn to look as if they were on fire, the tank top was made black and tighter for a bolder look.

• The skin tone, please.
• Change it back to normal!
• This is a lot to take in.

“Red could work, though, right? Doesn’t it give off a mystical vibe?”

Finally, I adjusted the skin tone back to normal and added shading.

• Whoa.
• This is amazing.
• Why even stream? You could just be an artist.

With the golden hair shaded perfectly and the radiant skin tone, Helen looked stunning.

“Now… it’s done.”

A notification popped up on the screen:

[Account Temporarily Suspended for Violation]

The stream was cut off.

But reflected on the monitor was my face, smiling in satisfaction.

Because today, I had undoubtedly reached new heights.

[Miro’s personal advertisement stream today, LOL!]
As expected, the king of the celestial realm is different.

• Is it you again, GOAT?
• Sudden worship, wow.
• What’s the ad about?
  ㄴ Announced it’s an art stream.
  ㄴ Really? Finally happening.
  ㄴ The waiting room is packed.

[Wow, Miro is really good at drawing.]
(A picture of Anna drawn by Miro)
She quickly sketched it in chibi style, but the details are on point.

• LOL, so cute.
• Anna’s going to love this.
  ㄴ Yeah, it’s the kind of thing she’d enjoy.
  ㄴ She’s in her late teens, right?
  ㄴ Uh, what happened to those ten years?
  ㄴ A decade changes things, you shameless fool.
• She’s drawing other members too and nailing it.
  ㄴ Yeah, she’s just crazy good.
  ㄴ Hmm… is it really that impressive?

[Collected all the member portraits drawn by Miro.]
(A bundle of portraits drawn by Miro)
She drew them so cutely.

• LOL, genuinely adorable.
• Acting mature on stream, but her art screams femininity.
  ㄴ Get out of here, LOL.
  ㄴ Screenshot secured, LOL.
  ㄴ Doesn’t this guy know the legal team of The Six? LOL.

[Wait, was she always this good?]
She just scribbles casually, but the results are incredible.

• I’m a professional artist, and I feel a wall here.
  ㄴ Are you saying you’re worse than Miro?
  ㄴ Yeah.
  ㄴ LMAO, worse than a VTuber?
• She’s improved a lot since her last art stream.

[Miro finished the line art.]
(Miro’s line art of Helen)
This is unbelievable, LOL.

• Seriously, so good.
• I’d believe it if someone said she’s a pro.
  ㄴ She probably is.

[Miro finished the coloring.]
(Miro’s completed drawing of Helen)

• Seriously.
• I’m trying to stay calm, but…
• This looks like pro-level work.
  ㄴ Yeah, her coloring is legitimately professional.

[Where is this going?]
How does she keep getting better?

• Seriously.
• People are freaking out over a VTuber’s art skills. How good can it really be?
  ㄴ (Link) Take a look for yourself.
  ㄴ LOL, insane.
  ㄴ LOL, hilarious.
• She’s just really good at hitting the right points.
  ㄴ Yeah, the poses alone are enough to grab attention.

[Miro got suspended, LOL.]
(A meme of Miro’s suspension)
LOL, I knew this was going to happen.

• Miro got suspended?
  ㄴ Yeah, for her art, LOL.
  ㄴ What did she draw?
  ㄴ Check the trending post; it’s there.
  ㄴ Damn.
• Honestly, I was getting nervous near the end, LOL.
  ㄴ But… you liked it, didn’t you?

[The drawing that got Miro suspended.]
(Miro’s drawing of Helen)

Seriously, this is insane, LOL.

• Wait, did Miro draw this?
  ㄴ Yeah, she streamed it live.
  ㄴ Damn, why is she even streaming?
• Was Miro always this skilled?
  ㄴ I was surprised too.
  ㄴ It’s ridiculously good.

[Miro is 21, right?]
How does someone that age draw like this?
Did she attend art school?

• That’s just pure talent.
  ㄴ Is it really?
  ㄴ Expressing colors like that is all about talent.
  ㄴ Yeah, it’s kind of insane.
• Seriously, it’s hard to believe she’s only 21.
• Meanwhile, I’m a 30-year-old beginner.
  ㄴ That’s just you.

[At this level, someone should dig into her past.]
There’s no way she’s this skilled without having worked before.
Are you guys even trying, you amateurs?

• Why don’t you look into it yourself?
• How the hell can anyone identify her from her art alone?
  ㄴ The Japanese fans are already investigating.
  ㄴ Then ask them, you idiot.
  ㄴ Why are you yelling? They might actually help.
• Miro’s art styles vary too much between drawings.
  ㄴ Yeah, seriously.

\

[What do we watch while Miro is suspended?]
Damn, I used to look forward to her streams every evening. Can’t she do a YouTube live or something?

• Yeah, even a Civilization stream would do.
• Whatever it is, she used to stream almost daily… A consistent presence… Great at banter…
• Why not try watching Haru?
  ㄴ What’s Haru like?
  ㄴ Basically, imagine Miro but worse at art, less skilled at singing, with a slightly more average voice and weaker banter.
  ㄴ Hey, that’s harsh on Haru.
  ㄴ Haru plays a variety of games, okay?
  ㄴ LOL, the Haru fans are out in force now.

The community buzzed for a long time.

Meanwhile, Miro made the most of her unexpected break, enjoying her time off as a chance to both earn money through ads and take a forced vacation.

As a side note, the game company, impressed by Miro’s dedication—going so far as to risk suspension for Helen’s art—offered her another advertising deal, which she happily accepted.

Of course, her manager nearly lost it.
