It's been a while since I gave a proper blog update, so I'll try to make this worthwhile.
In terms of model updates, Miku herself hasn't changed too much. However, there's notable changes around her skirt and upper body.
To the left, the DX on her skirt has been added for accuracy's sake, and on the right is a Toro Inoue charm hanging from her left belt chain. I think they're pretty cute additions. Toro might not be permanent but it was fun to add him. Gives some personal flare y'know.
For her upper body, I went and changed how her badge looked since I noticed in some illustrations it was more like a LED rather than a simple gold badge.
In terms of morphs...
I've appended one single new facial morph to Miku. This makes her 5th shape key for the "ah" sound. Greedy.
In terms of extras, I've added some cool stuff like morphs to change the colors on her sleeve panels
I also added morphs for adjusting her shirt and collar length. I like a longer/taller collar on Miku, so these ended up being really useful.
Going forward, I'm working with my good friend Jomo for more updates. I want a shirt with more wrinkle details in the future. I think it'd look nice.
But how it'll look is up to the man in charge! (Jomo lol)
Speaking of Jomo, I'm waiting patiently for his Kasane Teto UTAU model. I have a project I want to do and I'm keeping it on hold until she's ready. From what I've seen of her, she's looking pretty gorgeous. I feel like you all will really like her!
But I wont speak too much on projects that aren't mine...
From here, I'll be answering asks sent in through my Marshmallow.
Who is your favorite character to animate?
I wonder. Probably Miku.
Would you rather fight 100 chicken sized Mikus, or 10 Miku sized chickens?
Miku's a small girl, so maybe the chickens.. But if I came across 100 chicken sized Mikus I might just take them home.
I love your videos and Miku is my favorite I love how you design Miku in different ways
Thanks.
I love your content and they way Miku is designed my favorite is the Sakura miku
Thanks. Sakura Miku is pretty cute, too. Wish I had more opportunities to render pictures with her.
Where are you from :o?
I'm a New Yorker. I met somebody at a con recently and introduced myself as majin_kz. They were familiar with my work but was under the impression I was Japanese. I wonder if I give off that vibe?
Will Kasane Teto appear in any of your videos?
Hasn't she already appeared in some?
What inspired you to become an animator? Do you speak Spanish? Your animations with the models are very beautiful. I love them. Keep it up. I will always support you.
I've always wanted to animate things, since I was a small child. I really kicked it into gear during the pandemic. Also, I don't speak Spanish. Thank you for your kind words, though.
Hello! I am a big fan of you! I just want to ask you, how are you that talented in your masterpieces..? They are amazing! ♡♥︎
I dunno. Sometimes I just wing it until it looks good. Thank you for enjoying them.
what song got you into Vocaloid?
Caramelldansen.
I would love to see gakupo ^_^
I would too. Unfortunately I got no idea what I'd do with him. Sorry.
What’s your main inspiration for your model edits of the Animada models. Also, do you have a favourite modeler?
I just go for things I like. I take inspiration from a lot of things, mostly heisei retro style stuff. Think Akio Watanabe, Tsunako, Annin Doufu, and CUT A DASH!!'s work come to mind for specific artists I look towards for inspiration. I also get a lot of inspiration from weird places, though. Like Sonic and Dragon Ball. As for my favorite modeler, as a kid I really liked the 1052 family of models. So maybe Hakutory?
Will you ever put the models up for download, or are they just planned to stay as private models?
They're private until further notice. I apologize.
do you like ruko yokune?
She's alright. I don't have any strong feelings towards any of the Vipperloids. I enjoy all their gimmicks.
This is a bit basic,but how did you first find out about miku/vocaloid? (Love how you design your character models btw!)
I'm pretty sure I found her while just surfing the web. I earlier said caramelldansen got me into VOCALOID, so I found one of the many videos of Miku dancing to the song and fell down the rabbit hole from there.
hello, majin! I love your work so much. idk what else to put here, have a good day!
