My UTAU drafts~

Here there are my Satone Bishi's drafts. I'm not really good at drawing manga and less with my own character. Her outfit is similar to the Miku's one but some people say that an UTAU similar to Vocaloid is kind of boring. So, if you have any suggestions/opinions about the clothes, colors or anything please tell me, you'll help a lot :3

If I were you, I would redesign her.
The only thing that makes her look different from Miku (the green and pink) also makes her look awkward.
:)
You should come up with one that is more unique and comes from your heart.

So like,
99.99999% of people will probably have a problem with the
fact that it looks a lot like Miku.
"Miku Recolors" get a lot of hate. Because there's no originality.
Ultimately you should make an UTAU for yourself, not others,
but just know that most people would prefer if you made your
character more original. :3

I might add some suggestions later but I have to go to class now.
Can we hear what this UTAU sounds like? That would help
give people an idea of what directions the UTAU's character
design could take.

It's not so much boring as it is overdone. It's just when people make an UTAU they seem to think they need to make sure people know it's an UTAU by giving them the classic UTAU qualities such as a sailor suit outfit, neutral + hue color scheme, headsets, Vocaloid recolor, etc.

Now that being said, using those things on your UTAU doesn't automatically make them boring/overdone. You just gotta put a spin on 'em to make it unique and interesting. Iris has a headset but it's in the shape of her flower :3

So far your UTAU looks alot like Hatsune Miku. But she has potential. Instead of arm warmers/detached sleeves, you can try regular gloves, finger-less gloves, or a long sleeved shirt.

She seems to have a ribbon of some sort in the second picture. Why not try having that ribbon hold some of her hair back? I think that would look pretty cute if it held that side of her hair back or something.

Her outfit is what really gives her the Miku feel though. Let's see...her top. Why not make it a vest with a long sleeved shirt underneath? Then you could give her like fingerless gloves or something. You can keep the skirt if you want, I don't really have an opinion about it seeing as my own UTAU wears a skirt >w<

Colors. I just got through a color theory class last quarter so let's see if I learned something...

From what I can see her colors are green, magenta, blue, and gray/black. Honestly I think the blue hair should be changed to a magenta cause that blue not only gives her a Miku feel but it doesn't really...go with everything else. If you don't want her hair matching her outfit then I'll suggest making it brown or blonde.

I hope this helps you out a bit. Maybe I can draw a picture of her when I'm not busy. I certainly would like to help you out with this some more if you need it.^^

Do you happen to have a voice sample available? That can be a big help in discerning what could be a good design for an UTAU.

Also, as mentioned before, right now she looks A LOT like Miku, which tends to turn a lot of people off straight away. Iris just gave a ton of great ideas, so perhaps you could try some of them to give your UTAU a more unique, and better accepted design :)

Thank you a lot! I'm going to consider all your sugestions, they are really good.
Ok, now I'm sure that she looks a lot like Miku. I'm going to change her today with something that comes from my heart, Annamaeblythe ;3
Iris! I really liked your suggestions! Maybe Bishi will wear something of that!
Fadingfebruary and MsConstantine thank you too!
The problem was that I love Miku so I just thought in her outfit. The result? Bishi was just a recolored xD

I saw you want to hear her voice, I hope it can help for the design change. I made her voicebank like 3 or 4 times, but it's finally here.

Sorry >//< Video fixed now.

Ahmm this is the first try. I use your idea Iris, about the hair and the ribbon by the side. Later I thought she can look cute with two pony tails.
What do you think? o//o
