--- Quote from: liza94 on February 18, 2014, 11:25:18 am ---I have just one word: SIGNUM-SAMA!

I get it, I get it! It's just like Rival Auditions in SP, when Chihaya is on the second place and Miki is on the first one. Such a thing usually impossible, but explanation is simple - Kuroi bribed everyone! And don't forget about the episode 26, where Chihaya was scored 72 in the karaoke! Kuroi has a very beautiful voice himself, so Chihaya and Enra are primary rivals to him! ;)

I'm glad I'm not only one who thinks Chihaya-Master and Takane have similar voices.

I'm glad that made sense, because I have problems with words, and nothing I say ever seems to make sense. XD So at least someone understands me! :D

By the way, could you draw Byakura without her long bangs? I'm sure she would be beautiful.

--- End quote ---

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAPPY~.
Actually, I didn't even think about Xenoglossia when I was doing this, but now that you mention it, Byakura is kinda like iM@S Yukiho and she's a fan of Chihaya, and...huh. Well, anyways. Thanks. :3

I think I will one day! I might include a story event in the...story...where the Producer convinces Byakura to cut her bangs, or at least move them out of her face. She won't undergo a massive personality change, but by that time she would have started steadily gaining confidence. So it won't exactly be an Awakened state, just...a haircut.

Also, Yukana has one of the best low voices!
Have you heard about Megumi Toyoguchi? I think she can be a good alternative.

Kinda, yeah. She's one of the more mature idols, so she isn't prone to making constant jokes, though. But she's usually pretty cheerful. :)

It's weird, because now whenever I think of Haru, I'm going to picture Riffa.

I've heard of Megumi Toyoguchi and heard her voice acting, but I've never heard her sing. I'll have to listen to that. :3


--- Quote from: liza94 on February 18, 2014, 11:25:18 am ---I like the fact that Soumin and Benima want to bring Ritsuko and Kotori on stage. GO GIRLS!

As you can guess, my favourities are Enra, Byakura, Haru, Mariko, Neku, Guru, Soumin, Benima, Ruka, Aime, Uane and Koko.
Could you post original images of Mariko and Neku? The girls are so beautiful. :)

--- End quote ---

Kotori deserves more love. She honestly has one of my favorite voices in the game, and she's not even really in the game. Also, I really like Ritsuko.

I'm glad you liked them!
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "original images" since theoretically, all of these are original, but if you mean "full-body images", then yes. Yes I can. I'm glad you liked their character designs! My art doesn't do them justice. XD I need to stop this before I become really annoying. :/

ZetaFlare:
Fuyu: She looks beautiful. I'd make her Visual stat should be at least pretty close to her Vocal. Also, I kind of had an idea similar to Fuyu's Irish heritage for Himeko, just with British entrepeneurs who moved to Japan. Alice Treyton would be her real name, but she'd keep her pompous nature.

Enra: I like her. She and Setsuna I think would make pretty good rivals since they have similar personalities. The difference would be that Enra enjoys excitement and taking risks, while Setsuna always lived in fear and seclusion due to her "curse." Dang, she's got giant honkers! :o

Byakura: I LOVE her! I have a penchant for shy girls! This is why Yukiho has always been one of my favorites.

Kenchi: A rather intersting addition IMO. I don't see him as a Ryo. He kind of reminds me of Kaito (the vocaloid). Makes me wonder how his relationship with the producer will work and how well he will interact with the girls/performing more feminine songs. Speaking of dating in disguise...Chiyo's story mostly revolves around it. She wants to fulfill a promise she made to him before finally retiring so she can devote her life for her main squeeze. Of course she has to keep her relationship a secret from the public, but I plan to have Yamato's spies/gossip panel attempt to use it against her to destroy ZetaPro.

Soumin: I find her pretty cute. I'm glad she was able to regain her confidence after moving from Korea. I wonder if her image song will have a SNSD sort of feel to it. I haven't listened to a lot of K-pop, but...

Aime: I swear, she and Jun would make excellent friendly rivals being otakus (except in different genres) and being able to memorize songs and routines in an instant. I wonder if she shares Jun's petite pride? I know how that feels. Look at my characters' hands for example. I can draw "fingers" if need be, but still...it's just my style.

Uane: Sound like she'd relate to Kagura.

Koko: Kyaa! Hyper loli moe overload! ;D I can imagine her and Hinata in a friendly rivalry except Hinata actually does have ADHD.

Mariko: Yay! Another Nep-Nep fan! :D I loved her singing in Neptunia PP. Can't wait to get my hands on that game once it gets localized...

Chiharu: Interesting. I think I see a potential friendly rival for Nagisa, being half-Brazilian. (same VA even!)

Benima: I agree with you, Benima. Kotori needs more love. Essentially the reason why I made Kotori Project Fairy's producer in Neo Vision. Sounds like quite a few of us want to give Kotori more screen time. Maybe have Project Fairy sing Sora?

Ruka: She's a major cutie! With her silly nicknames, maybe she and Emi could be good friendly rivals. Then again, I wonder if she and Ai would make even better rivals? Perhaps Mai knows Ruka's mother from back in the day? Jigglypuff? Ruka the Dragon Slayer!

Neku: I was thinking of making a cat girl myself, but I decided against it. Then again, I did make one--a minor character for 573Pro: Koneko Hiwatari, 573Pro's newest and youngest idol who replaced Kaori after her mother revoked her contract. She's based off the reoccurring cat vehicle bosses from the Parodius games (in fact, all of 573Pro's idols are based off Parodius bosses).

Natsuki: Possibly one of the best inspirations for a character I've seen! I think people who ship Makoto x Miki would love her!

Yori: Ah, the classic Mary Sue character. Compared to Hotaru (the lazy girl in my group), she's pretty lucky. Her peers kind of gave her the inspiration to audition, while Hotaru was forced into 961Pro by her parents and was not allowed to return to Sapporo until she became a top idol (something Kuroi uses to his advantage and Hotaru's chagrin). If they both cared, I think I'd see a decent rivalry out of them.

Nami & Natsu: Nice move. I was against making twins myself (even opposite personality twins like Ram & Rom), not wanting to rip off Ami & Mami. I think Nami's kind of cute. Maybe she and Tamaki could become good friends/friendly rivals because they both have big crushes on Jupiter.

Personally, I think you have too many Vocal specialists. I always try to spread out the stats so we'd have a pretty balanced group to choose from. Sure, it's me being nitpicky, but, hey, it's just my opinion. Still, I'm intrigued by all your characters and sketches!

Amazing_Grace:
I'll start by saying thank you for dropping by! :D I really appreciate that people are paying attention to this~. Especially considering it's already begun moving past the stage of just being an idea and actually has an existing one-page prologue. So it's awesome to have support.
And, legit, after seeing all your characters, I got this really crazy idea that we should do something one day where they get to meet. BRAIN. Y U NO NORMAL. Ah well.

So, without further ado, I shall respond to your comments by character, just as you made the comments by character!

Fuyu: I'm glad you like her~. I think in my Notebook of Every Detail Imaginable, I had her visual labeled as only a couple points behind her vocal, but I always planned on her being mostly Vocal.

Enra: Thanks, I'm glad you like Enra, since she's one of my personal favorites as well...I did get the feeling when reading Setsuna's bio that the two would be somewhat similar in personality. Also, believe it or not, there's a Cinderella Girl (I forget her name) who's even bigger than Enra. I actually plan on making a communication between her and the producer where it becomes a topic of conversation. Because fanservice.

Byakura: Shy girls are adorable, let's get that out of the way first. But yeah, I liked the idea of having at least one girl with low self-esteem so you can follow her journey to self-confidence, very much like Yukiho. Because Yukiho is cute.

Kenchi: I'm gonna be honest, he's one of my personal favorites. Since he and the producer are the only guys in the group, they end up kinda becoming bros. Of course, the producer gets so used to working with girls that he sometimes forgets he can treat Kenchi like a man, which makes for some awkward conversations. It doesn't help that Kenchi tends to use "watashi" and "anata" occasionally just because he's used to having to speak somewhat formally.

Soumin: I kinda feel like out of all the K-Pop I've heard (which really isn't much, like you), Soumin's image song would be something like "Bbribbom Bberibbom" or "Too Late" by Co-Ed School. But aside from that, I'm glad you find her cute. :3

Aime: Aime and Jun could have an all-night anime sleepover. Haha, not really. But yes really, at the same time. But not. ...I don't know. Your style is so incredibly cute, though. I envy that. I can only draw certain kinds of cute characters. Yours are almost chibi-ish, and incredibly adorable.

Uane: Quite possibly. It seems like they have the same seriousness when it comes to singing. Also, I wanted to mention that I've noticed that these characters we've introduced are actually similar, but I can assure you that I invented this group looong before I ever even knew these forums existed. Just thought I'd say something in case you had some sort of suspicion that I'd copied you...? I don't know, just making sure. Your characters are all very original too, it's not often you see a girl with a "cursed" singing voice or a half-Brazilian orphan or a rock-star who gets sucked into being a pop idol.

Koko: Every idol project needs a token loli! But seriously, I'm glad you like Koko so much~! I feel like her sketch came out a little derpy, but still, it always makes me so happy to hear people say they like my characters. You're filling my heart with warm, fuzzy feels. Also, I can see Koko and Hinata getting along well if they met. :3

Mariko: For the record, Smile Spiral is an excellent song. But yes! I have yet to get fully immersed in the world of Hyperdimension Neptunia, but I like what I've seen so far and plan to get my hands on a game as soon as possible. I really want that one with the iDOLM@STER spoof character.

Chiharu: Chiharu would actually probably love Nagisa, for that exact reason. Haha, I'm glad you find her interesting. Frankly, so do I.

Benima: Kotori's voice is angelic. I cannot stress this enough. She has my third favorite im@s voice (after Makoto and Chihaya). Choosing her to produce Project Fairy in your idea was a fantastic idea. I would love to hear them perform some of her songs like Hikari or Sora.

Ruka: Ehehe~, thanks! :D Ruka and Emi would probably be friendly if they met. They could make up cute nicknames for each other! XD But that's actually a pretty good plot point. Maybe the reason why Ruka's mother never got very popular was because everyone liked Mai so much? IDEAS. Everyone keeps saying that. It'd probably be hysterical if I were more involved in the Pokémon fandom.

Neku: Koneko sounds cute. I'd like to see you draw her one day. I didn't want to make Neku all about "OMG I SAY MEOW CONSTANTLY AND I'M JUST LIKE A REAL CAT AND I WEAR CAT COSPLAYS AHAHA~", but rather, closer to an animal lover with a certain affinity for cats? That doesn't stop her from having a cat-like hairstyle and ending sentences with "nyan". Because what's a cat-girl without "nyan"?

Natsuki: I'm actually REALLY happy you think so, because I like Natsuki, but I was really worried peole would be like "RAURGH YOU'RE MESSING WITH CANON DIE". I avoided canon as much as possible. I TRIED.
So, seriously, thanks a bunch! ;D
Holy crap, she looks like she could be their child.  :o

Yori: I'm reeaaaally trying to avoid the Mary-Sue aspect of moderate self-insertations by having Yori be not particularly attractive but not ugly, and by making her dance stat quite low. Also, she tends to butt heads with the Producer when he tries to encourage her to get better. Even her vocals, which are the only reason she's even there, aren't as polished as some of the others. So, she's not perfect. I hope. I'm trying to make her at least a bit likeable.
But yes. If they cared, she and Hotaru could be interesting rivals. Even with the fact that neither of them care, it could somehow spark a rivalry. An "I'm better at doing nothing than you" kind of rivalry? No? Alright.

Nami and Natsu: Somehow I ended up with three sets of twins anyways (Fuyu and Yousuke, Kenchi and Kyoko, and Nami and Natsu) so whatever stereotypes I was trying to avoid with twins is probably gone now. Ah, well. I see why you would avoid it.
Tamaki and Nami could get together and squeal over cute boys together. Just like normal American teenagers. WOOHOO.

Aaand that was really long! :D YAY.
So, yeah, I see why you'd go towards making balanced stats. Honestly, I think at the beginning I meant for it to be a balanced group, but somehow everything got muddled. There's still a range (Guru, Benima, Natsu and Neku are dance-focused, and Enra, Natsuki and Nami are visual), but most of the focus definitely ended up on vocal. Maybe I'll switch Fuyu from vocal to visual, and theoretically Kenchi could lean towards any of the three. The rest are kinda-sorta-stuck-ish.

Aaaaaanyhow, I'll wrap up this super-long reply by saying...thank you! :D I appreciated the feedback~. I'm glad you seem to like the sketches! But for the record, yours are way cuter~.

--- Quote from: Amazing_Grace on February 17, 2014, 03:46:44 am ---Name: Tamatsuki Uane
Age: 18
B-W-H: 86-61-84
Hobbies: Singing, Braiding, Looking outside
Image Color: Silver
Uane grew up very close to her mother. Her father was abusive, but her mother loved him very much, and it wasn't until Uane was ten years old that they finally got a divorce. The long nights of fighting and yelling while Uane hid in her room made Uane very distant and forced her to mature far faster than she should have had to. Whenever her mother had been attacked, she came into Uane's room and said, “Uane, sing for me.” Uane sang for her mother often and developed a skill at singing while still young. As she grew up, she noticed that her mother was almost always sad. In order to make her happy, Uane decided to become an idol so she could sing for her all the time. She was accepted into 331 Pro on her first attempt. She was the first idol invited to join the All-Stars, and she accepted instantly. While Uane is cruel, unforgiving, and prone to doing anything to get her way, secretly she is just lonely and desperate to make her mother happy.
Uane's dance stat is relatively high, but not high enough to rival Hibiki, Makoto, or Natsu. She puts a lot of effort into her dance, however, and, like Yori, performs very to-the-letter.
Uane's visual stat is high. Despite her ever-present frown, her long, wavy grey hair and blue-silver eyes give her a beautiful appearance, though she can't rival the likes of Azusa or Takane.
Uane's vocal stat is very high due to all the years she's spent practicing, enough to rival even Chihaya, though not enough to surpass her. Her voice is a bit shaky, but also somehow smooth. Her range is impressive, allowing her to hit very high notes and very low notes.
Uane's character is the worst of the All-Stars, and maybe even the worst character of all time. She snaps at everyone, hates the world, and is quick to judge. However, perseverance and patience will allow someone to tap into her soft side. If this happens, while still acting cold and distant, Uane will show that she genuinely cares for the few friends she manages to make, including the producer. This doesn't make her any less difficult to put up with, though.
Best Match: Takarano Arika
Rival: All of 765 Pro
Best Friend: None. Uane has no friends.
Fun Fact: Uane is very self-conscious about her waist measurement (61), which really isn't that bad. Nonetheless, Uane frequently puts herself on diets to try and lose weight. It doesn't last long.



Honestly, I'm quite displeased with the way Uane's sketch turned out. Oh well.

Arika Takarano is the name of the lead singer of ALI PROJECT.

--- End quote ---

For me, Uano's personality is a mix of Chihaya-idol's and Chihaya-Master's.  :o  Be careful, Grace, such a mixture is very dangerous and can explode!  By the way, Uane does look like Ariko Takarano.

Does it mean that you will let readers choose from three options, like in VNs?

I have meant non-resized versions of the images. Don't worry, your art is not the worst mine is. At least, you have your own style.

I think Ue kara Mariko by AKB48
http://www.xiami.com/song/1771185745
would be a good song for your Mariko, even despite the fact that its lyrics don't match her.

ZetaFlare:
You must mean Shizuku Oikawa, the cow girl. Bust size 105. I'll be honest, though, she's one of my least favorite CG girls, mainly because I think H-cup = H-bait. I can't even image search for her without stumbling across something NSFW...or worse.

Only difference is that Aime's into magical girls while Jun is into mecha.

As for Kenchi, I've seen quite a few guys use those pronouns.

573Pro's idols are pretty much minor characters who are only involved with Kaori's story. I might make them DLC rivals, kind of like how 876Pro was in iM@S2 PS3. Unlike Neku, though, Koneko really is just meant to be that "crazy cat girl" type, like Miku Maekawa. These idols were pretty much meant to be minor supporting cast along with Erisa Ichinose (Vocal specialist based on a mermaid), Rika Hishikawa (Dance specialist based on a Las Vegas showgirl), and Yoshiko Momoyama (Visual specialist based on a feminine pink moai).

You mean Ai Masushima? She's from the new Vita game starring Noire. That's coming out in Japan about the time summer rolls around.

I never got the feeling you copied off me at all. I had my ideas in my head for a while too. I just thought that some of our characters could relate to each other.

Yori isn't the only one. I pretty much made a so-called "putting the writer into the story" for my Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego project. The Chief is a Lucario based off me, but I've never even studied law or criminal justice. Music is actually my primary focus.

As for Tamaki and Nami, not just America, but that's how it's always been everywhere! Take France, Spain, or Korea for example.

Thanks for the compliment about my artwork. :) I know I'm no Ken Sugimori, but I have my own art style that I'm pretty proud of myself. The only problem I often kick myself/abuse the eraser over is that even my adults look too chibi.
