YOHIOloid Contest Entry by Noririn-Hayashi on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Hi everyone! ´ 7 `)/
YES! I entered the contest PowerFX was promoting, where we have to draw the box art of their new Vocaloid of the swedish singer YOHIO, called YOHIOloid. We also had to design his outfit based on a photo they gave us --> [link]

I'm really nervous about this... Even though I already know I won't win xD Now that I've seen such wonderful entries (because everybody's revealing their entries now), I don't even want to win. I just think I don't deserve it 'cause I like much more the designs and arts that others did ´ v `)/
I spent like 3 weeks thinking about the design and pose, and another week in drawing this... OHMYGOSHTHISISSOMUCHWORKFORMEH OTL Glad I used this also for college proyects, so at least the effort wasn't in vain xD
I'll probably make a tutorial explainin how I drew him, from the lineart to the final touch up.

Let's describe some details of the outfit ~ !
:bulletpink: His whole design is based in YOHIO's white guitar, used in PVs like Sky Limit.
His headphone (yes, he only has one) is the headstock.
The jacket attached to the belt is the body of the guitar.
His pants are the necks of the guitar.
The spectrum analyzer in his jacket and back of his heels moves and changes from white to pink when he sings.
:bulletpink: If he connects his cord to an amplifier, he can also play the guitar with himself :la:
All PowerFX's Vocaloid have the monster theme, so I wanted to give him some kind of evil eyes, just like if he was a demon. If you watch them close up, you'll notice it xD

*Btw, I sent my entry without background, so they could find it easier to layout the final product in the case I win.

Good luck to everyone who entered the contest! I really want to know how this ends! <--Yes, pink sparkles because... it's YOHIO e v è
