For a Zatsune Miku redesign challenge from a few months ago. You can find WIPs and extra images on Twitter. See profile for Ver 2.

Design Notes:

• several elements were inspired by Zatsune's wiki info, such as the infinity symbols used
• inspired by the early victorian aesthetic era/alice human sacrifice era of vocaloid
• headphones were originally supposed to resemble pointed ears (scrapped idea)
• hair, headband, and loose ponytail holders resemble a whip
• hairs around neck are meant to resemble a pair of fangs

My Zatsune Miku lore:

Originally an evil spirit made of spite from underground producers, Zatsune grew into an almost indistinguishable clone of the titular Hatsune Miku. However, as more and more producers came into their own over the years, Zatsune developed a unique style, realizing that copying what is popular isn't what you need to succeed yourself. She's still a bitch though..

Extra fact: She and Teto's chimera form have an ongoing rivalry.
