Chorical announced a new vocal for VoiSona, Ying Can (瑛璨). Key illustration by VOFAN and design by Infoholic, VOFAN, and Toeknee.
From the post's replies:
"Ying Can is the first commercially available Mandarin vocalist for Techno-Speech's singing synthesizer, VoiSona. Releasing later this month, Ying Can will be purchasable digitally in both subscription and one-time-purchase formats. Her bio and web page on our website will be uploaded next Monday at noon (JST). Please look forward to learning more about Ying Can and more news throughout the month!"

Key illustration

She's cute, but her pose is a little weird imo. (Also there's something off about the way she is colored. Can't figure it out.) I wonder when her demos will be released.

I honestly can't tell if she's a 3D model or a 2D piece with very 3D shading, and I think that's what's throwing me off. Also her outstretched arm is bent a bit like mine can do, like her elbow is double jointed... not wrong per se, but I did notice it!

Okay, that aside I actually do think she's very cute. And Chorical has a good track record in my mind with Selena, so I'm excited to see if they strike gold again! I hope Voisona's Chinese is good, I know I've been impressed with their Japanese and English -- Voisona specifically I mean, as opposed to the older CeVIO sound that I was never super fond of

I noticed her illustration is entirely pastel and doesn't appear to use a full range of values (lights and darks).

the illustration was done by vofan, who also did the art for xin hua!! that's genuinely so cute... like sisters from another... (place).
i agree there's smth off, but she's suuuuper cute

oh neat that that artist did xin hau's art, i always liked it. i think the design it cute too, i feel like my issue with that peice is theres not a lot of contrast. it wouldnt need to be too strong, but its where the pastels all kinda blender together when i look at it, making it hard to make out clearly what the design should be. i dont exactly have an issue with the design but the art couldve benefited from some darker shadows or a contrasting color instead of black (or if it were in their style, even outlines). and i do think the twist of the left arm is a little off, you can mostly only see the muscle twist of the shoulder and wrist and the way fabric settles near the elbow make its hard to make out how it may look underneath. wrist feels too tilted back to fit the shoulder position basically

dont intend for that paragraph length to be a rude criticism btw. i just study art a lot lol. the design itself is nice, the clothing feels simple and reminds me of more classic vocal synth stuff tbh

The coolest part for me is a whole new language for Voisona! She reminds me a little of Zing - I like her bubble theme.
