Mayari's Chibi PNGtuber Reference Sheet Request?

Mayari's First Character Model?

    Now as we get ready for the debut of my regular character model for content creation- I did want a to have a casual or chibi model that would serve as a stand in for both transitioning my content from predominately facecam / irl to a hyrbrid format, as well as generating interest for the charity subathon featuring said debut on March 19th of this year!

    Mayari has been my chosen name for a while, my real middle name only being the letter "M" because of a birth certificate mishap from my mom- I felt like it was fitting. The story of Mayari in Filipino mythology resonates with me heavily and my own story and even touched my heart. Hopefully I can share that story with you next March!

    I asked my artist to go for simpler designs and relatively covered up as to keep a majority of the character a secret~ Embracing Filipino culture and history is something I found to be empowering especially in my adolescence as it grounded me to know my roots or be emboldened to strive for more against oppression just as our ancestors have. The artist who will be creating my character model actually prides herself in works that showcases Filipino mythology- with her book series Diwata (loosely translating to spirits / lesser gods), illustrations and short stories detailing the Filipino Pantheon. We will be highlighting her work during the debut stream <3

    Below is just an outline of the reference sheet that I gave to my artist as a collage of ideas I wanted for the design~

Beloved Game Changers, It is the last day of Filipino American history month (USA) and Indigenous People’s month (Philippines), and there has been so much weighing on my mind. I have only been able to bask in the pride of being Filipino because of the activists and heroes who fought for my place at the table despite the oppression of our identity amidst white supremacy and colonization. That is a privilege that I surely won’t take for granted. I can celebrate and practice indigenous dances and share stories of groups from the Philippines like our annual show Paglinang because of both those who persevered and those who dedicated their lives to fighting back. Written into the identity of being Filipino is resisting systemic injustices: whether that is the resilience of living under Spanish rule, not giving in during Japanese occupation, or learning to thrive despite the USA’s colonization.  I have found it so healing to learn of my culture- learn of the unconditional love that has been t

      Mayari's Birthday Subathon for Charity 2023 will be supporting the Trevor Project!!!      Game Changers!!! Again, just like last year- there would be no better way to celebrate another blessed year of life than to work together with you all in making magic happen once again. Of course there are a myriad of causes I want to help- and there is not a doubt in my mind we will do all that we can along our journey. This year, on my birthday (March 19th) - we will be raising funds for the Trevor Project, whose mission is to end suicide for LQBTQ+ youth by various means including: advocacy, crisis support, research, and education <3   https://www.thetrevorproject.org/explore/      In 2022 you all obliterated the goal and 100% of the $1,333.18 proceeds went to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. After 3 hours of technical difficulties in just trying to get stream to start (yea worst timing but the lil toaster of a gaming laptop was trying it's best) - ya'll bom
