Some creators I've either met or love their work just from seeing, and you should check out!

Lil Miss Pasta - https://payhip.com/LilMissPasta

I met Pasta one night in a black cat. She was just getting started selling models and had only released one at the time (Gummy Bunny). I've seen her grow as a creator, when time permits talked to, and have genuinely been impressed by everything she has created. She is very sweet and helpful and does not gatekeep her knowledge and happily shares everything she knows! She also has a HUGE respect towards wanting to keep the game optimized and while her avatars will be rated very poor, she does have does not promote or support irresponsibly unoptimized avatars and assets.

FoxiPaws - https://foxipaws.gumroad.com

If you ever talk to me about furry avatars you've likely seen me use or talk about a FoxiPaws model. While talking to me, I may come off very critical and show a dislike for the models, but that is just because I want to see this creator strive for more. The models she makes set a trend for Furry models. She created some of the first E-Furry avatars to my knowledge. She does kitbash her models and I've sat down to figure out what comes from where several times, but its shown to be successful to the point people can usually point out its a Foxi model and if someone has been inspired by her models making similar looking ones. Her newer models are a lot more stylized and over the top and shows how much she has improved since her start.

Liindy - https://liindy.gumroad.com

Liindy makes some of the most popular assets you can find.  They are always fun to play with and are fairly generious with TOS, allowing use on public models  gives you something extra to throw on a model that will usually be a hit. Most of their toy assets (such as the fidget cube) tends to be a big hit with everyone that sees it.

Fara - https://twitter.com/FaraVR (https://farafox.gumroad.com)

Fara is the maker of the Rex mod "FaraRex", This mod is my favorite variant of the rex, but on top of that Fara gives some of the best advice for Substance Painter. This advice genuinely helps optimize and use Substance Painter to its fullest. I use their Eye Generator tool since it is fairly simple to use and makes some very unique looking eyes that are very nice. 

FizzyBell - https://payhip.com/JuneJune

I met and have became what I'd call close friends with Fizzy. They have shown me so many gorgeous models they've created from a few years ago, and you can see the progress of improvements since then. The models they make, are gorgeous. The assets they make are gorgeous and deserve a lot more attention. She is still learning, but in time I feel they will amount to great things.

Angel - https://universalangel.carrd.co

Met Angel through very weird manor, but have grown closer to her as a friend since. She is very sweet and skilled with what she makes. Has a very "laid back" attitude towards things, but will get the job done when the time comes. She is the maker of some of the most recognizable assets on the Novabeast (Piercing set and the Cyber Arms and Legs). One of which (Piercing set) was something I heavily encouraged and recommended her to make, jumpstarting her growth as an asset creator.

ZombieBones- https://bsky.app/profile/zombiebones.bsky.social

Bones is the designer of my first and essentially main "Sona". Since meeting them, I've basically been in love with essentially all of their designs and art, which lead to me getting primarily their art. We've become friends and will even do some trades, art for textures. and while I have become addicted to his designs, he has become addicted to models and  his designs being put onto models, as I have basically shown him most characters/sonas I get from him eventually get translated into a Texture.

Sevyn11 - https://linktr.ee/sevyn11

Sevyn has been a pretty big inspiration for growth. Providing useful feedback, suggestions and recommendations to improve my work. She comes on a bit strong, but if you get past that she is a wonderful person filled with knowledge and humor. Seven is very passionate towards her craft and it shows in their work. She settles for nothing less than perfect by her own standards for herself and others.

PirateSoftware - https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware

PirateSoftware has absolutely nothing to do with VRChat or the art I create, but rather is a content creator that I truly appreciate for multiple reasons and should be someone to look at as a creator to be inspired by. Thor treats his mods like employees with fair wages and benefits, treats specific bit donations as an equal exchange, has a completely reasonable mindset when it comes to streaming and is very visible with how things for his streams are ran. Is up front and transparent with how the money spent on his streams are being spent/put towards. If you spend bits for a TTS question, he holds his end of the deal by not keeping the money if the TTS is not played and answered during the stream and provides recipts; and those that go unanswered will have money sent to charity instead. He actively has what I feel is the best stance on AI. Where it should not be used generatively. Pay and treat artists with respect and use AI only for data resourcing and to push for a better future (paraphrasing). He sends a positive message and i've spent too much of this gushing about what this single streamer does that is positive. just check him out!
