(individual pics of the drawings plus context under the cut)
So a few days I wanted to draw more vocal synth fanart and ended up with this unhinged page XD.
First I drew a comic of Gumi coming home to her slacker roomates. Do I hc Gumi, Gakupo and Lily as all being romates in a crappy apartment cuz they're all from the same company? maybe... with that said Una and other internet co. synths live in different places.
Then I drew Lily and Ritsu interacting cuz I hc them as besties who are constantly being bitchy to each other. I like to think they started off on bad terms, because Ritsu bragged about being a better singer then Lily online (starting internet beef between the two) but then, circumstances lead to them interacting and learning they actually have a lot in common! So now they're friends and, hang out to go clothes shopping and shit talk everyone.
next I drew Ruko gambling (because that being a hobby of theirs is funny to me so of course I keep it for my hc's) and a Momo cuz she's great.
and lastly I drew Gakupo and Kaito messy making out and unfortunately making it Gumi's problem...
Also I know a few of these synths also have synth v vb's and Ritsu also has a deep vocal VB but calling this utau & vocaloid drawings was just easier for me :P
Decided to draw my first OT3 not because I think polyamory is cringe (though some people do which is weird) but because it's a ship involving three UTAU, specifically ones made as a pranks. Main reason for this ship (and this is the case for 99% of my vocal synth ships) is because I like these characters voices together, I especially like Ruko's male kire vb paired with any of Ritsu's vbs but all combos are very nice with these three imo.
I also gave this trio some super cringe slogan shirts that make no sense, because not even these three could define their relationship in any normal way, nor do they want to. My hc is that these three have truely embraced their joke existence and live very cringe but free lives together.
Today I felt like drawing Kasane Teto (and a bunch of other drawings that I'm yet to colour in) and write down some of my hc's for Teto because I've been a Teto fan for a decade now so I've made many hc's for her (though a big chunk of them have changed as I've changed a lot myself of course). I enjoyed drawing these and even though they're messy I think they all look pretty nice :-). Only thing I think that doesn't look super good is my attempt at writting her name in Japanese, especially the kanji, I'm so bad at writing it!
Now to go into great detail on my hc's. First I hc Teto as 31, not because I care about canon, I don't (though it being her canon age is what inspired me to keep her 31 in my hc), but because I think it's a fun concept for Teto to be older than most vocal synths (who I hc most of them as being late teens to late 20s) and therefore be very tired/jaded, becoming more so as she exists for longer and longer. Also in my hc all vocal synths are androids with very advanced intelligence (so advanced many people don't consider it A.I) but, primarily live on an an artificial island build just outside of Japan due to many humans not wanting them to live among them (yep android discrimination). They can leave the island for doing concerts if their popular enough, however most aren't popular enough to do overseas concerts and therefore live typically very ordinary lives on the island.
I also hc Teto as a triple a (agender, asexual and aromantic) because I feel like he just wouldn't care for anything but singing, performing and bread. I also feel like Teto would specifically be sex and romance repulsed and will glare at you if you do PDA. As mentioned above, I see Teto as having a hot headed personally but I think she is also deeply decided to being a good singer and performer, leading to her being the most popular android that's not a vocaloid (which in this world, a vocaloid would probably be androids funded at least partly by a very big company leading to them typically being higher quality than other brands of android, or something like that, idk I haven't thought too deeply about the world building for my vocal synth hc's XD).
I also hc Teto being best friends with Uta (Defoko) and Momo because they're also utau and were made before her (and therefore helped Teto adjust to life), best friends with Gumi because even though she's a vocaloid, she's had a lot of similar experiences to Teto so they bonded over those similar experiences. As for why Teto hates Ted, well he's always been an asshole in my hc's so a lot of vocal synths hate him lol, but luckily Ted is the only person Teto hates. As for other relationships of note, I see her and Ritsu as frenemies/rivals who get along with each other, even if they only talk to each other in taunts and backhanded compliments XD. Miku is an acquaintance and both seem to respect each other but Teto used to have a one-sided rivalry with Miku (Miku was not aware of this) before realising how silly it is to declare a teenage android her rival.
and one more hc I want to share is that Teto owns a pretty nice house on the island, and shares it with Uta, Momo, Ruko, Rook and Ritsu. Of course I have many more hc's but this post is already very wordy so if you want to learn a new hc or more details on hc's I've already shared feel free to comment on this post or ask me! Hope you all enjoyed this post ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
A few days ago I really wanted to draw this prompt because as soon as I saw it I knew I had to draw Namine Ritsu! If you don't know who Ritsu is, Ritsu is a character designed to represent vocal synth software for both UTAU and more recently deep vocal.
Basically the same thing as a Vocaloid (most well known vocal synth software). In fact Ritsu was originally made a a prank/fake Vocaloid on 2chan forums in the late 2000s, as a result the "canon bio" for this character is very... edgy with it's humour.
But I still love Ritsu because I found them not long after first getting into vocal synth music and really enjoy songs and covers made using Ritsu! Plus their edgy bio has lead to many fun hc's that I enjoy for Ritsu.
As for why I drew Ritsu for this prompt, canonically Ritsu's eye colour is Chroma flair (the specific word seems to be a Japanese brand of Chroma flair paint) which means Ritsu's eyes are a super pretty gradient of colours that I did my best to try and capture.
Personal crack headcannon of mine is that Ruko can detach his boobs like a lizard. Her back hurting too much because of their bazongas? Wanting to go to the beach but not want to spend too much on swimwear? Feeling bored? Wanting to mess with ppl? They'd just pop them off for a week or two
Thank you for sending you hc anon (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
(and sorry for the late reply I haven't been super active lately (´-﹏-`；))
I really love this hc, though I must say it was kinda uncanny for me to read cuz I have this exact same hc, but for Ritsu instead of Ruko XD
With that said, I definitely can see this working super well for Ruko, even if you follow their "canon personality"!
