Official Vocaloid China Announces Illustration Contest Winners

The official Chinese website for the Vocaloid franchise has released the winning entries to the illustration contest that has been going on for quite some time. This was a competition for the official Chinese Vocaloid Character. The winner was MOTH with the artwork called 雅音宫羽 (Yayin Gongyu). All images can be seen below.

The etymology of the name of the winning-character is also well-thought of. Yayin means ‘Elegant Sound’ while Gongyu is a combination of ancient Chinese notes such as “Do Re Mi” in Western civilizations.

This is the winning entry. Others have also been shared:

“MOKO” by saku
“绫 彩音 (Ling Caiyin)” by rikuhao

"蝶音 (Chou)" by HANS

"牙音" by ayaya


Although the odd name, the artist has definitely made a great job and Shinigami-sama sends its congratulations towards Moth.

      I love the winning entry and like the others very much… I wish I could draw like this, but unfortunately, with the shape I have chosen for this world, I can only rely on other people for such things.
