Mimi's Design
Hello! Welcome to Mimi's website!
I'm just an individual that one day wanted to attempt VRChat avatar development,
and eventually picked up proficiency for it through sheer brute force and plenty of trial & error!As of today, I'm a somewhat competent VR avatar maker,
but I also do other things like graphics design projects, websites and much more!
About Me
Hey, Michael here! But you can call me Mimi. I'm an Italian freelancer 3D artist.
I love technology but I have a wide interest in everything science-related, from electronic to chemistry. My first approach with 3D modeling has been back in 2015 when me and my cousin, kids at the time, spotted some tutorials on how to make cups in Blender. We had much fun recreating basic items we had on our desks, like glasses or pencils.
This "game" we played grew, developed and became one of my main hobbies. In 2021 after discovering the YouTube channel Blender Guru, I continued my learning experience following these harder tutorials, sharing the results with some friends that had my same passion, challenging ourselves to do better and better while learning together.
Later that year I decided to take a more serious approach joining the Italian Blender Community, enrolling in some courses and doing tests, further researching and expanding my knowledge about the topic. This gave me the ability to receive my first certificate, and I'm still continuing nowadays.
I started to learn Unity, inspired and motivated by VR avatars around.
That allowed me to translate all my Blender knowledge in something as useful as avatar making, learning to do animations, particle systems, and then texturing and painting.
It has been a long journey for me so far, but another long journey awaits!
Realistic 3D Renders
Naturalistic landscapes, sci-fi architecture, room design, weapons & other equipment, as well as avatar renders!
Gadgets
Custom collar tags & plaques based on your characters!
Turning any existing artwork of your OC into a custom collar tag, and optionally a plaque of your name!
VR Worlds
I Also made a fully functional VR World, with props you can play with, a pool table and bouncy balls you can throw.
The main statue of this Sanctuary can be controlled by some buttons at the upper floor and it dances!

JusDesignMi
It was a cooperation project born between me and my friend JusFoNo, combining our skills to make even better things, then paused because on hiatus.
You can still visit our website here.
Other Collabs
I also do collabs with other artists and I'm opened to collaboration, just contact me!
TOS
It is imperative that you read through all terms listed.
I'll know if you fail to do so; your competence is invaluable to ensuring that you receive what you want!
How payment works
Payments will be sent using paypal.me or Ko-fi link.
We allow for payment upfront, or payment after the commission is completed.
Pricing
Prices will be given via quotes, final and estimate. All prices are tailored for the specifics of what the client wants.
If you're wondering how much your commission would cost, please send a message and i will give you an estimate
Payment Upfront
This is where you pay the price of the commission upfront, before I start.
The price will be decided before the commission is started, and you will be able to see clearly how much each individual aspect costs, as well as the total price of the commission altogether.
With upfront payment, you may not change any aspects of the commission already agreed upon (e.g. asking to add an additional item after the payment has already been made), unless you're willing to pay a second time for the additions. Should you wish to remove any aspect of the commission after it has already been paid for, you may suggest an alternate addition which amounts to the same cost of the previous aspect.
Payment After
This is where you pay the price of the commission after I finish it.
Upon discussing all the details of your commission, I will give you a rough price estimate. You may suggest additional changes, additions or removals after I start your commission, and this will increase/decrease the price estimate accordingly.
If I have finished your commission, I will ask you to pay before you can receive it. Should you be unable to pay in the moment but will receive the funds to do so soon, there is no issue and we will wait. However, an outright refusal to pay, or a failure to respond to payment requests, will lead to these consequences listed.Additionally, should the requests to wait become repeated enough as to amount to an outright refusal to pay, these consequences will likewise be followed through:
• You will not receive your commission; and
• I will reserve the right to use your commission in any way (e.g. uploading a commissioned avatar publicly to VRChat, stripping the avatar's design of its uniquely identifying features); and
• You will be added to Artists Beware with as many info about you as possible (Mail, Discord, Twitter profiles, etc) and blacklisted from our commissions; and
• I will warn other avatar authors of your conduct; and
• Your conduct will be documented on my public Trello board.
Should you choose to finally pay after these consequences have been put forward, they will be lifted with the exception of the blacklist. You will receive your commission, but you will be blacklisted from commissioning us in the future.
