Ina's definitely one of the top artists in Hololive, but she's pretty openly focused on art, so that's no surprise. Marine is really good too, and there's probably some other good artists, so who's the absolute best is probably subjective to some extent, but Ina's churning out art pieces for her fellow Holo-ENs pretty fast right now and being able to read her tweets and know what they're talking about really makes it stand out.

Wasn't marine's old job working on manga? Wouldn't that count as being professional?

Also I figure that doesn't count as talking about real identities because I could swear I've heard marine talk about that job herself multiple times, and one of the keystones of her streaming is her history of working at really lovely japanese corporate places.

As I recall (could be wrong), Marine wanted to follow a career in manga, but decided against it and became an office lady for a few years, before she finally turned 17 years old and decided to be a pirate cosplayer instead.

I could have sworn Calli mentioned making the animated opening of her chasing the other EN girls, so she should probably be mentioned among the artists of Hololive too.

she also did the animation for kiara's debut intro and does illustrations too, but she leans toward that really cool toony style ala gashi-gashi. definitely has done some pro work before hololive too

I can't remember if it was in Marine's stream or one of Tamaki's interviews but Marine stated that while she's good at drawing she's not particularly fast at it and would not be able to meet the deadlines needed to be serialized. It sounded like she wanted to do the weekly stuff but I wonder if she would do well with the monthly publications instead.

On a side note Fubuki is also pretty good at drawing and her latest birthday merchandise has a tea cup with art drawn by her printed on it.

A part me thinks/hopes all the upcoming minecraft streams with the EN girls means they're going to pop onto the server immediately as soon as the ban is lifted. Also Gura wanting to build Atlantis and it would be a crime for that not to be on the Hololive server.

Marin Karin posted:

Amelia is definitely the most comedic (intentionally or not!).

Her gremlin gamer personality is particularly great especially when she gets sassy.

"I rezzed the wraith who got the last kill so technically I got the lost kill *happy clapping* Yay!!!"
"Hey look they tried their best, but it wasn't good enough."
"Yeah, true, my back hurts a little bit from this carrying."


My ratings so far:
Amelia: Funniest, is also a sassy little Gremlin.
Gura: Most, radio like? Most like a DJ? Also the most adorbs in her apex predator bit. The way she talks to her chat has the sort of radio DJ levels of chill.
Kiara: Most Idol like.
Calliope: The Realest and down to Earth. The most fun to bully with superchat donation wars.
Ina: The most relaxing to listen to. I don't really have a fix on her personality beyond that she seems to have a very quiet intensity when playing games, like she seems very sold on whats happening and in the moment of things.

For those in the thread that don't yet know why Artia is the best, see this clip for proof. While it sucks she's on Twitch while everyone else is on YouTube, she is 100% the most "twitch-like".

Artia likes being on twitch, she's talked to other people about migrating or making an offshoot there to get around youtube's copyright problems. It might even be a consideration for Mio

Calli's about to start sampling random things to get some sounds for music making.

Edit: It's also her last stream (or one of them, I was a little distracted and didn't hear if tonight was on her new computer or not) on her lovely laptop.

Someone else suggested that (except for the hic-hop bit), and she was interested in it, alongside getting a sample from the other holomyth members too.
