Description Surprise~! I tried to make a decent, more effortful cover-art this time! You know, since I'm trying to get my UTAU art in-par with my fanart work.
I am just glad that I designed Tsux mainly with a ponytail, I could not bear to do this floaty stuff again with long hair down. ( " C")

Also, I had contemplated adding Tsux's wings to the pichur, but I didn't have much time that night and thought maybe this single focus on him was good as is... I think? Uh, does this look too simple? Sometimes, I think the simplest path is also a good one. ( o -o);

I remembered when I tried to make a similar shot with Tsux's alt.design (being this one, if that wasn't obvious already) in another old cover which I am trying to fix but probably not reupload, and this looks so much nicer in-comparison. Golly, I'll just leave it to you bubbies to look for it in my Gallery if you're curious, yeah?

All in all, I am still quite happy with the overall result of the image. The only thing left was to crop it for the video since this is WAY too tall for me to add lyrics that people could actually read properly.

She looks awesome in here.
(BTW, I like how her eyes are dull in this image. What is she fighting?)

MewKwota In reply to MegaLuigiZ [2014-08-19 23:36:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you~! I made them dull to give some serious mood, yet tried to make them look striking at the same time.
And to be honest, I don't really know what (or whom) she's fighting. I didn't imply anything specific, so I'll leave that up to your imagination to decide. ( ' v')b

Yeah, I kinda noticed in one of your Rock pics.

(Yep, it probably doesn't really matter. But you can imagine whatever, it's fine by me. )

Indeed, I used that pic as a bit of a detail-reference for this image. Since for some reason, I tend to put more effort into my fanart than I do my own characters and I think that's a bit unfair for them. Of course, I don't want to seem too repetitive, so the poses and whatnot are obviously varied.

Ah, no. It's normal.

Don't worry it's the same with mine, the only way I could even mention the slightest fact for Tsux would be just from descriptions in my pictures. Otherwise, I have never talked about her backstory properly at all.

I know, I feel really bad about that...! ( ; ~; )
I drew them once, but then they're tricky to draw with pen since I want them to be transparent-- plus, I am horrid at drawing things straight-up digitally-- so I may try to push the effort some more next time to add them. (It will involve going through another program though because of preferences, eheh~)

seeing Tsux makes me want to go back to revamping a Mega Man inspired character from years ago. Can't keep her story straight though.

Aww, thank you! Master let me type this comment just because it's special.

It isn't everyday I get to use my powers, even just for show, since I worry they may gather some unwanted attention. But Master thought that this was another one of those chances where I could just let loose for the video.
I'm happy to hear you think it turned out so well!

Thanks~! That pose was tricky to get proper-right after having doodled it, but I'm glad it looks alright!
Got a bit of inspiration of said pose thanks to Zero the Angry, the hair flying up may give that away~ ( o 3o);

Aw, thanks~!
I had this idea for some appearance Tsux was meant to be make in an old FanFic Comic I haven't sadly touched on in forever, so I decided to reuse the design for a sort of Alternate Outfit. It really seems to give her a powerful vibe, hah?

Thanks~! It really does, doesn't it? Perhaps the composer had that idea in mind when making the song.

There is always the Youtube-mp3 converters online, those work well to get MP3's from videos over Youtube. ( ' v');

i use a youtube downloader but thanks. so you use a program to alt the voice or that you singing it

MewKwota In reply to Darkbitcold [2014-08-19 18:15:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh no, that's not me singing, it is a Japanese voice synthesizer program called UTAU-- if you've heard of VOCALOID, it is basically like that but simpler and you can make your own voicebanks, as I did here. So technically, Tsux's voice comes from me, but it is her singing via UTAU.
