Happy (almost) Valentine’s Day, y’all! When I posted on Bluesky this month about having an asset idea, I 100% wasn’t kidding about that at all. I’m honestly proud of what I created over more than a week in between other work & IRL stuff.

Just had a Valentine's Day themed asset idea that I wanna create ahead of time. 🤯Not spilling the beans yet, so y'all will have to wait and see. 😏

The main reason I chose schedule templates & thumbnail frames is that some fellow VTubers have shown an interest in either type of asset. Remembering that simple fact helped me to stay motivated during the creative process behind it. With that said, this is actually the 1st time writing out a proper blog post ONLY about my digital merch. So bare with me, okay?

Color Palettes

Just in case anyone was wondering about the vivid palettes & their assigned names which I picked for this asset bundle, you’re in luck! I chose the name “Cutesy Pink” because its entire palette (excluding black) reminded me of cotton candy. Meanwhile, “Dark Chocolate” got chosen as a theme name because I simply LOVE chocolate ice cream as a sweet treat.

Also, allow me to share a little secret with you guys. Both palettes used within the bundle were found from Canva’s Design Wiki, which has its own color combinations. Without that resource, I wouldn’t have found SO many colors to work with!

Stream Schedules

Both schedule templates were the most FUN assets to craft in the end! I got to try out some ideas which I originally thought about adding to my personal schedule design that I’d already finished a while back. Practicing my current skills usually leads to some form of improvement.

All the black & white text bars in each design are there to include any additional time zone conversions. But anyone can always use ‘em for something like listing off your collaboration partners and such. The gaps in between bars also can be used for showing other icons, especially if you plan to stream or publish content on any platforms like Picarto & Twitch.

The smaller bar near the bottom right is for giving credit to any artists who’ve provided the official artwork and/or piece of fanart that you’re using on either of the schedules. Meanwhile, the custom heart symbol is supposed to look like it’s melting. I highly doubt I need to explain that motif while talking about the holiday that’s associated with love & chocolates.

Thumbnail Frames

Now, these lovely frames are to be used for showcasing content on YouTube & TikTok. There are 12 frame variants, including semi-circular “LIVE” badges available in 4 different colors (White, Pink, Brown, Tan) to show the video status. You’re also 100% FREE to mix and match ALL the assets together after they’ve been downloaded from Ko-Fi or Itch.io.

Editing both types of assets inside design software will be mostly a breeze, especially if you’re using the PSD files that I’ve provided in their respective sub-folders (.PSD Frames & .PSD Schedules). If anyone needs help after fiddling with them, DMs on Discord (@aiyokuchan) & Bluesky are always open to provide support to anyone who has bought the bundle.

Special Thanks

To end this off on a high note, I’d like to give a shout out to the individuals that gave their input on the bundle before its official release. First up is my close friend and fellow indie VTuber, MelodyTheFey. She’s a fantastic digital artist who told me in private that the designs looked super cute when I first shared specific WIP screenshots over Discord.

Another friend to name is the always lovely demon hunter, Hex. I often spent time either lurking or chatting with other viewers on her Twitch streams. She even praised me for my hard work during a specific livestream while I was busy working on (almost) all of the related assets!

Anyways, I hope that other folks will enjoy using everything included in the bundle. I currently plan to release more holiday themed VTuber assets to sell with potential variants depending on the actual demand. Giveaways will also happen in the near future, so please stay tuned for any of that news via social media and/or Aiyoku’s Fanbase. Thank you for your support!
