@ta_blang@Kirai72839@ggumidanshi@DelindaArts I’ll throw in these designs too (more for fun sharing) as there’s cases where Mikus don’t follow base at all than just cyan unless told before yet rep well to the country it presents and gives a good image of how a Miku would look there, regardless of the Miku under the clothes.
@ta_blang@Kirai72839@ggumidanshi@DelindaArts Well this is what I mean. Your judgement is the Miku under the clothing which I pointed out where the angry mod is about. My judgement is simply yea, fine, it’s a Miku intended by the artist, now does this AMERICAN Miku rep the country well which I say it lacks in. That’s it man.
@thissismin@Kirai72839@ggumidanshi@DelindaArts And I agree to your statement. I guess to better word it, the conversation I’m more so aiming is towards people who believe that because it doesn’t give an enough vibe, the artist is being shamed with predictions and that the Miku they made does not deserve to be titled as Miku.
@ta_blang@Kirai72839@ggumidanshi@DelindaArts And I think that’s fine. This whole discourse came in because the design didn’t look “Miku-enough” when there’s many designs, officially even (eg. PD’s Cat Noir skin), where it doesn’t even retain those iconic traits, let alone straight up not looking like her.
@_lavenderhxze_ It’s fair that WuWa likely expects an audience that will have will to learn the world and its philosophy, even if it’s a vague fact in the corner. It’s also valid to feel confused too. I don’t think they want to hold your hand. They expect your curiosity to be your best tool.
@Kirai72839@ggumidanshi@DelindaArts Hell keep in mind, Miku as a synth has been used in situations where the character’s intended to NOT even be Miku character-wise when design-wise, it’s even more “Miku” from the base. Case in point, Calne Ca.
@Kirai72839@ggumidanshi@DelindaArts Point is yea, ANYTHING can be Miku. Her fame mainly rose from her synth. Ofc there’s a base visually but there’s been many designs that go beyond that. I feel if there’s intention of being Miku on the artist part, it’s enough. You don’t need to like the design coming with them.
@SeijoSeiSama@TimelyHsin Well what I mean is she would be an old face in the sense she has only briefly seen us, not that we knew each other personally. She only knew our status and thesis.
