rigging help?

[wispy grotto]

Does anyone know know how to do small rigging? Like I wanna rig little bits of my character for subtle movements, not like a full rig but have no clue what I'm doing. Any help is appreciated! I just want to be able to do small things like maybe the tail swaying, or the mouth moving when open or blinking. Any tips for like even a program recommendation is appreciated 🤗 the gif is all 4 drawings I have and I kinda feel that it's a bit flat so that's why I want to try rigging it/animating it but no clue where to start

What your describing sounds more like a png tuber than a vtuber, the app that’ll probably get you what you want is pngtuber+ because it lets you separate your avatar into multiple layers that you can animate separately like Live2d.

Though I do still recommend looking up comparisons videos of different png tubing programs to figure out which one your most interested (I particularly like this video https://youtu.be/aKURqgsOlPA?si=CDWQlGODbR4YDzo7)

Mind you that advice is only if you really care about the tail sway, getting the mouth to move when you talk or having automatic blinks can be done in Veadotube where you don’t have to separate elements of your model

Also when I say separate elements I mean something like this but less complicated because the example is for live 2D
