Apealing as in trying to use adjacent colours/colours that do not clash between each other (for example, this website helps in choosing nice palettes)


Yep, but they could have done it a bit not as similar to Alys as in this design orz
So if i use arm warmers, long stockings, transparent skirts, am i considering copying a vocaloid.//dontkillmeplsjustaquestion

I seriously just said that they are so limited....... she also has similarities to Miku Append, you going to say Alys is a rip off of Miku Append?
Please just don't insult the design. If you'd like to be a design consultant PM Pepper about it.
I'm not insulting the design, I'm giving my opinion on it and how similar it is to Alys' one. As I said, this was a suggestion.

If you use Miku's armwarmers, long stockings and skirt but the only thing you do is changing the colour then yes, it's copying a Vocaloid.

The colour scheme is fine, the art is nice. Everything is fine, why are we complaining about the character being a copy of another. I don't see the similarities in designs, obviously were gonna see similarity when the theme seems to be futurism (or seems like it is) but I don't see how it's like Miku or Alys. Honestly if you got issues with the character pm the owner, not trying to be rude but just saying

Honestly I've said it once and I'll say it again. Also Orahi reiterated this.

The color scheme is just... quite discordant.

I don't know why but it really bugs me
the problem is probably that all the colors are too saturated. the combination of the super saturated orange and the super saturated indigo is jarring, combined with how orange and indigo aren't complementary colors or really related. changing the purple to be less saturated and the orange to be more yellowish would help a lot I think (here's something i did really quickly http://puu.sh/ktWr5/160c941d78.jpg)

I designed SELENA and I did not base her off of ALYS at all. That emblem on her chest is her life source, it's basically her heart, the light ups are part of her body. They are her veins in a sense and the anklets were added to make her seem more elegant.
[DOUBLEPOST=1443646759][/DOUBLEPOST]And once again I am going to restate that Festival and Flinger are not the exact same thing. Festival is for speech and Flinger is a modified version that is made for singing. Please do not refer to them as the same thing, it is causing a big confusion.

Yes, I think those colors look great together (if the orange were a tad more toned down still I think) ALSO

I designed SELENA and I did not base her off of ALYS at all.

Whether or not she was purposefully based on ALYS per-say, that doesn't mean she doesn't look like her. And frankly, to people who don't know the whole story and then see her design, they may get the wrong impression and thing she was simply a rip-off of ALYS.

Also please don't say I'm trying to start drama or be rude or anything like that, I'm just trying to point things out in hopes that future issues that may arise similarly may be avoided.

sigh

I'm not attempting to get you to change SELENA's design, I'm just trying to give you any advice that I can.

The first thing people will see is her design and I fear that they will just push her aside thinking she's an ALYS knockoff, even though that couldn't be further from the truth.

Anyways, I wish you luck in developing her and I can't wait to hear her demos!

Just coming in here because I've been actually watching this thread for a while. I'm probably a bit out of place with just barging in head first so please don't take anything to heart.
But over all the thing that I'm getting from all this is just, "messy"(?)
I've been working with original characters, critiquing them, and giving input. And this all reads a bit of a 'lets throw everything together, because she's from outer space and anything can happen' vibe. It doesn't actually read that she's from space, and all these extra details are fine, in theory, but all together is just. messy. If your theme was space, and that she's from a different planet, why does she appear so humanoid like. The colors are a bit, meh to me as well. They don't give off the outer space look, and the hair and eyes could have been anything you wanted.
Nothing about her is jumping out to me, it just seems like an OC.
Again, this is all coming from someone who's an outsider. Your goal is to get people interested and wanting to use the product. When all we have to look at is the bio and art. There's no voice for her yet, and there's no sample for her yet. So the only thing you guys are giving people that are reading, is that.
I'm really honestly not being mean, so please do not take it that way. But I've been reading all these comments and its kind of childish on both ends. I was hesitant on writing this because my whole message can be seen as a backlash blahhh blahh.
If this was someones OC ect. I would keep moving on, however this is something you guys are making to please others, no? So isn't it best to take in all opinions?
Your ideas are great, but if there's too many with no clear path, it gets rocky. I hope everything works out! I look forward to hearing updates!

SELENA was made for this purpose, she is not a reused OC. Her human form is not her true form. She has an alien form, we just need to get the design done. (Also, Alice, I think you aren't caught up. Her voice provider is selected and she's in development now.)

We are going to upload a demo of Katerinu singing the full version of E.T soon. This video will be on our YouTube channel and will have a PV made with After Effects to go with it.

honestly the design isn't to the voice type taste nor does it make her seem other worldly. Coming at it from a design angle its not really sellable. For instance based on her description that you have given (including voice type) I drew up this quick image
a8b4ea7b21cb43ac28386fc836d8d2da.png

(Do not use this design.)
This is how I see this "voice" as such. Whilst it might not look sellable its eye catching. I would probably re think the design a little. Grabbing references and also consulting the community on what they like visually is probably your best move.

Her design is not changing, that is final. If you do not like the design, please giver her voice a try. (Also we're making concept art that shows her entire design. She has an alien form that you might like.)
