Primary and secondary selling

nizima has two categories of selling: primary selling and secondary selling.

primary selling

Primary selling is selling your own original illustrations or models that you have converted to Live2D yourself.

  • For illustrations traded at nizima, processing and selling (secondary selling) within nizima is permitted.

secondary selling

Secondary selling is buying illustrations other than your own at nizima, converting them to Live2D, and selling them.

  • Be sure to set up a “related map” to distribute royalties to illustration creators.
    Currently, only one related map can be set.
  • Currently, it is not possible to purchase a Live2D model and then sell a modified Live2D model for a second time.
