I need a custom female Protogen avatar for VRChat built around a dieselpunk aesthetic. Think darker, oil-stained metals—steel grey panels, brushed copper trims, and spots of worn rust—balanced with paint zones I can re-tint in-game via the standard color-wheel. Only the accessories (things like visor glow, shoulder plates, scarf, or other decorative pieces you add) should shift hue; the main chassis must stay on-brand with those muted metallics so it never loses the gritty feel. Visual Style • Overall look: stylized; I want the shapes and proportions to read clearly in social spaces while still feeling believable. • Texturing: highly detailed with complex, layered patterns—scratches, rivets, subtle decals, maybe even faint stencil numbers—to sell the diesel tech vibe at close range. Technical Needs • Must be VRChat-ready (Unity, SDK3, humanoid rig, full-body tracking compatible). • Visemes, facial expressions, dynamic bones/PhysBones for ears, tail, and any cloth pieces. • Materials set up with masks so accessory paint areas respond cleanly to the in-game color picker without affecting the base metals. • Polygons sensible for Quest fallback or separate Quest version if that’s more efficient. • Deliver all source files—Unity package, .blend or .fbx, texture maps (4K preferred), and a short note on how to re-assign materials if I update the SDK. Acceptance Criteria 1. Avatar uploads to VRChat with no errors. 2. Color wheel only alters designated accessories; base metals stay fixed. 3. Stylized silhouette reads clearly and texture detail holds up when viewed at arm’s length in-world. If you’ve built character avatars with complex material masking or have dieselpunk/mecha portfolio pieces, please share a link—those examples help me decide fast. Looking forward to seeing your take on this gritty, copper-and-steel Protogen! reference images provided to give an idea of intended style, changes will be made

Hello, I’ll create a custom female Protogen avatar that captures the dieselpunk aesthetic you’re after. My first step will be to design the main chassis in those muted metallic tones—steel grey, brushed copper, and hints of rust—ensuring it maintains that gritty feel you want. I’ll focus on the shapes and proportions so that they stand out in social spaces while feeling authentic. I believe in keeping the design practical, so I’ll layer in detailed textures like scratches and rivets to enhance the diesel tech vibe without overwhelming the overall look. In a previous project, I developed a character for a client that needed to balance a distinct style with usability in a social platform. They were thrilled with how the avatar not only looked amazing but also functioned seamlessly, leading to increased engagement in their VRChat interactions. What would make you feel this was a success? Simranjit S.
