== Concept and creation ==

Vtuber Flye's Live2D model was made by Darien Brice Dickinson whilst following tutorials only by YouTube users YoshinoArt<ref>https://youtube.com/@YoshinoArt</ref> and Cutie Dragon<ref>https://youtube.com/@CutieDragon</ref>.

Vtuber Flye's first Live2D model was made in 2023 by Darien Brice Dickinson whilst following tutorials only by YouTube users YoshinoArt<ref>https://youtube.com/@YoshinoArt</ref> and Cutie Dragon<ref>https://youtube.com/@CutieDragon</ref>, and only features the top half of Vtuber Flye's body, with arms brought in on top with Spud Controller and other software by SadWhale Studios.

~~The character was originally envisioned as someone who has never seen a video game in their life~~, ~~and who ended up lost~~ in ~~space~~, ~~just happening~~ to ~~float past solar-powered abandoned arcade cabinets~~, ~~consoles~~, ~~and other machines designed to play video games~~. ~~Through this~~, ~~he would learn a life lesson from each game~~, ~~that'd help him get out of his situation of being trapped and floating amongst the stars by the end~~ of ~~the series~~.

A second Live2D model, made in 2026, mostly only following the Live2D tutorial series by Merely.wufeii<ref>https://www.youtube.com/@MerelyWufeii</ref> (especially for their side view tutorial) was created based on renders of regular Flye's 3D reference model (which was modelled by [[RasterRaccoon]]). Additional 2D painting work was done to make the model match the first Live2D model, and most importantly, the full body has been rigged this time. The final model (which supports VTube Studio's new native controller support, instead of relying on Spud Controller, etc.) will debut starting with first episode of [[Argie Bee Plays]] season 2.

The above idea was reworked entirely, ~~so that it could include~~ a castle ~~and interactions~~ with ~~other NeonWabbit characters instead~~.

To separate the character lore-wise from regular [[Flye]], the character was originally envisioned as someone who has never seen a video game in their life, and who ended up lost in space, just happening to float past solar-powered abandoned arcade cabinets, consoles, and other machines designed to play video games. Through this, he would learn a life lesson from each game, that'd help him get out of his situation of being trapped and floating amongst the stars by the end of the series.

The above idea was reworked entirely, with Vtuber Flye now being stated to be locked inside a castle with no interaction with the outside world, but still able to communicate with "worker bees" in the recording booth, who feed him information about the games he plays when he gets stuck.
