The beauty of Live2D is that if for whatever reason the model you made is missing parts or isn't separated in a way that a rigger is okay with, the rigger can ask you to make minor tweaks, and you can send an updated version of the psd file to meet with their specifications (as long as the canvas size and the name of the file is unchanged) and the rigger will not lose work

#

Depending on how much motion the skirt will have, it may need additional separation so it looks nicer, and if there is a cardigan on/off toggle, that will also need to be well separated (idk the specifications the client asked for so this is me saying from what I know from adding coats to my own model)

#

I'm unsure how the bangs are separated, but I do notice a bit of a skin tint on it. Is that from a skin color section that is clipped to the hair? Is it an erase type mask? Live2d only understands normal, screen(overlay may be converted to screen layer mode), and multiply layer types. It also understands clipping layers, but the gradient might be hard or annoying for a rigger to rig with (this depends more on the experience of the rigger and what the rigger is comfortable with)

#

How did you separate the eyelash that is partially covered by the bangs? Is it two sets of eyelashes? You can send this image as a reference, and only use one set so it saves texture atlas space later along the rigging road

#

Are the fingers separated so it's easier to do physics motion?

I think you're fine!

You should double check with the rigger just to be on the safe side
