Welcome to the UTAforum!

UTAU is a Japanese voice-synthesis program used to create singing vocals for music. It is much like the more popular, commercially sold Vocaloid products, but UTAU is freeware!

My UTAU's design

Okay, Here is this guy, he doesn't have a name because I'm indecisive.

Personality:
Stubbornly happy, really doesn't care what other people think and is annoyed by pessimistic people. He wears whatever is comfortable and at least semi-clean. He also has no idea what clothing is in style and is terrible with directions.
He has a habit of making up far-fetched stories about why things are good, although he just comes off as creepy.

Character item: ???

Voice:
Youtube

What I want opinions on:
He doesn't look too utau-like, is that okay?
Does his voice fit him?
What kind of name is fitting?

Can't comment too much on his voice since the sample was short and I had issues differentiating it from the background. If you are going to do more than a sample I recomment reading Koda-P's guide Elementary Guide to Mixing for Vocaloid Vocals as all the mixing tips can be applied to UTAU as well.

As for the art I think it is fine as-is. There is no such thing as "normal" for UTAU as the fandom is all about personal expression so many people's UTAU reflect not only on the character but themselves. I have seen everything from animated trees, anthromorphic animals, to dragons being used as avatars. Likewise art styles vary widely from medevial to futuristic and from Kei/Vocaloid-styled to superflat modernist.

I mean some would call my own UTAU a "stick figure", but I like to say it is "Postmodern Minimalist". I mean my own boxart seems to defy convention [Original Box] [ExtenZed Box] but I feel that its that differentiation that makes him so unique.

I mean who really wants a cookie cutter UTAU? Its what makes you different from everyone else that truly defines an UTAU. Be happy in your originality. I think its a great design.

So my previous comments aside time to the the actual art critique.

I must say between the browns of the clothing and the deep greens of the hair and tie he has a very "earthy" vibe to him. Sort of a Ranka Lee meets Mountain Man kind feel. While fur is kinda a faux pass I am really digging how well that fur lined capote plays off the yoked work shirt and pants.

The pants crop a bit high but I suspect that has more to do with the viewpoint and camera angle. I am not sure about the footwear weather it is some sort of moccasin or loafer but if it is a shoeboot then it should have a bit more heel.

Actually with the mid calf cutoff on the pants and those high socks it is almost as if he is trying to pull off the male equivalent of zettai ryouiki or "absolute territory" that so many people dig.

I don't know how you did it but you managed to pull of rugged and classy at the same time.
