You flatter me, hehe. X3
I read that your dude kayakazan does commissions. I wonder if I could ask him if he's able to possibly change up the high quality shiny Totodile model to fit Shiny's design. Though not sure if that is the sort of thing he'd do. Must admit while I found his submissions nice I read a message once in his journals stating that he didn't desire to become friendly with people on here since he'd have already a lot of friends and followers outside of FA which is why I couldn't do else but avoid him. Didn't want to waste his time with my silly talk. But I'm glad that despite that you probably because of being a fellow 3D photographer got to become dudes with him, Josh. ^^'

I'm just simply doing a good favor for my soul to pay tribute to the ones I loved dearly by artwork and/or personal feelings.

You might be the one of the longest friends of the bunch. ;)

Makes me feel special that you think so highly of me. X///3
I must admit, the way I got to learn about MMD was pretty much where the name comes from: "Miku Miku Dance". Since I like Japanese music and dance animations of course I had to stumble over some Miku Hatsune & Vocaloid dance animations. After that followed a lot of other characters yet and I found it supersweet at times what some creators manages to make by implementing own dance choreographies and such. Would be supercute to see Shiny in a dancing animation someday. Though I would imagine that most existing choreos are more made for Human characters and would look funky with a Totodile. <X3

You're a long time friend of mine. Why would I not pay tribute for you?

Heh, the dancing part isn't exactly the part I MAINLY look for. xD

It'd be interesting for me do ACTUALLY do a dance sequence someday.. But right now, i'm only interested in the puffy stuff. :3

Hehe, I know you use it more for creating scenes and taking photos. It's just the way how I learned about the existence of MMD in the first place. Show me animated characters doing fun and cute dances and it makes me smile. There exist loads in cartoons and anime alongside some video games and it always looks really adorable, I think. X3

Example for MMD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1j2JoB6phk <---Don't know who did the models here but wow. The characters look just like from the anime. =D
