Please use the direct message function for custom-made productions.

We will not be able to respond to any problems with messages exchanged outside of the nizima website. Please communicate within nizima.

Send a sample model for confirmation.

If you want to send a sample file to check the Live2D model during the production process, you can send “preview.zip” via direct message to view a preview.

If the file name “preview.zip” is incorrect, the preview will not be displayed. If you do not see the preview, please check for duplicate extensions such as “preview.zip.zip” and make sure the spelling is correct.
Since it is possible to download the data, it should only be used for confirmation purposes, and measures such as reducing the resolution should be taken.

Let’s deliver!

Open and deliver the accepted custom-made details.

delivery page image

1. drag and drop your work file to post.

Only one zip file can be delivered.

If you are delivering multiple files, such as a single image data or Live2D model, please compress them into a zip file.

Unlike regular work postings, there is no fixed file name.
Please be aware that the purchaser may not be able to decompress (extract) the file properly after downloading due to garbled characters in Japanese or other 2-byte characters. For compressed files, we recommend file names consisting of one-byte alphanumeric characters.

2. Set the thumbnail.

Thumbnails will be displayed in the buyer’s purchase listings, etc. Specify an image that is easy to understand.

3. click on “Post” to complete delivery.

Re-delivery is possible even after delivery and payment has been completed.

There are no restrictions on payment, such as within X days of delivery, so if you want the payment to be made earlier, it is recommended to tell them by DM, “Please make the payment within X days.” If you want the payment to be made earlier, it is recommended to inform the recipient by DM, for example, “Please make the payment within X days.
When a delivery is made, the status is changed to Delivered and an e-mail notification is automatically sent to the recipient. However, no notification will be sent for re-deliveries. If you need to re-deliver, contact the recipient by DM after delivery.

– Before making an inquiry, please make sure that you have informed the recipient that nizima management will contact them via nizima direct message to confirm the cancellation.

Cancellation cannot be handled without the consent of both parties.
