Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of this collaboration!! It's been a wonderful 11 years with the ZOLA Project, and I can't wait to see where it goes next thanks to ZOLA Project V6!! Here's to another lovey decade of ZOLA!! ✨🩷💙💚✨
Thanks to all of you, ZOLA Project have reached its 11th anniversary. We've released the English ver of "BORDERLESS" created by

ZOLA Projectの誕生11周年を記念し、Mioさんとriceさんによる「BORDERLESS」英語Verを公開しました!
Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity! It has been a dream of mine to create standing artwork for the ZOLAs for many years, and finally it has come true! Please enjoy! 🩷💙💚
In celebration of VOCALOID6 ZOLA Project's English cross-lingual abilities, we have new official illustrations created by MioDioDaVinci. Please use them freely!
Also Mio & Yamaha SoundUD have started a collaboration for the next anniversary. Stay tuned!
As a reminder, when you download my ZOLA artwork, you'll also receive 30+ alternate expressions for each character, which you can easily use to create lip-sync animations or add even more emotion to your cover art. Please enjoy ! ! !
i helped
@miodiodavinci
design new looks for ZOLA V6!!! i hope everyone enjoys them !!! 🕺🕺🕺
thank you so much for the opportunity, i'm beyond honored 🩷💙💚
also, to clarify, feel free to edit my ZOLA artwork in order to mix and match pieces of different expressions!! this way, you can unlock new ZOLA emotions, such as laughing blissfully, smiling through the pain, and Evil™
i don't have much prepared for the ZOLA anniversary this year (and i'm still working on finishing my PV ! ! ! ) but in the meantime i'd at least like to share what little i have of my original plans for today w
LRT in short, 66/ロロ/roro is an original character that the manbou siblings use to represent VY2 in their works, but roro is not an official design for VY2, nor is he meant to BE VY2. think of it more as roro is a character voiced by VY2, not VY2 himself 🖤⚔️🩷
this is nearly a week late but here's the full turnaround for the WAVEFILE KYO design!! a couple of the details have been omitted (like the play/pause decals and the chain connecting the buttons) but other than that it's fairly accurate
hey ! ! ! a while back someone asked how i went about learning how to use UTAU and make my own libraries, so i went ahead and compiled a massive resource doc to walk any prospective users through the process ! ! !
you can check it out here:

honestly never in my life would i have expected gekiyaku of all libraries on the VOCALOID (???) engine—it feels both like a fever dream and the natural progression of things HH

Howdy y'all! I've made some neat little stickers featuring the ZOLA boys and my personal VY designs!! Please check them out!! You can find them via the li//nk in the tweet below!!
alrighty ! ! ! new year means a new hachikyo icon ! ! ! ! and this time the face actually looks nice enough that i can opt for the non-silhouetted version without my soul leaving my body every time i see it w
through the spirit of fukase, what was supposed to be a high speed messy doodle turned into this!! please enjoy this tiny no-pen-pressure fukase for
#fukasefriday
!! it's our favorite alphabet sticker dough boy ! ! !
hello!! it's been a couple long and arduous weeks but!! i finally finished putting together the results of the "let's make an oc" meme i ran at the start of the month!! that being said, please meet Custard!! an aspiring idol with a monstrous secret w
sometimes you've just got to hold your silly little UTAU vb and be like "you will literally Never™ be high quality but it doesn't matter because your whole purpose is to be a voice for my silly little character and that's rad as hell"
gentle reminder that if you've ever been interested in getting the original V3 ZOLA project lads, you may want to do that in the next few days in the event that the V3 listing goes down the second the V6 goes up
decommissioned kyo model who broke up with their zola group on good terms because their pitch chip was tuned like 30-150 cents off but they figured they could just enjoy being a journalist instead???
The original design prompt we were provided was open and offered a lot of flexibility, so rice and I began by experimenting with a lot of bold thematic designs. Here are just a few pages of the work we did (the volume and quality of rice's work during this stage was amazing w).
so not what i was looking for, but it is funny just how much the AI can extract and refine that essential UTAU flavor without necessarily making any comprehensible designs w
kofi doodle for leesa!! thank you so much for buying ! ! ! i got inspired by those glass succulent houses and those huge pink cactus blossoms?? i hope you enjoy ! ! !
i love how ya//maha released V6 and vocalochanger and made it seem almost possible to create what synth v is capable of in VOCALOID and dre//amtonics was like "oh?" and then immediately dropped whatever black magic is going on with DPM w
ever wondered how i make my lipsync animations?? wonder no longer!! i've made a lipsync demo file including two sample projects. the KYO model from my WAVEFILE PV, and a brand new petite KYO to go with him!! you can download the file here:
it's late but i'm posting the version of the ref that had a ton of filters layered on top that i only scrapped last minute because i realized the flats would be way more useful overall and it would suck to have to go to the full wavefile art to get the colors every time w
it's real messy because of how fast i went on it but not pictured: kyo and yuu fawning over wil for looking so cool and doting on him constantly for the next hour because they love him so much
catching bits and pieces of the ongoing discussion over how to explain that AI vocal synth libraries are nothing like AI art generators and it makes me think again about the digital brush analogy , , , ,
i don't get people who evaluate UTAU vbs solely based on how realistic they are and how well they can emulate that very specific indie singer style that has falsetto and a ton of vocal fry
hey!! just to be clear i will literally never do nor support any form of /ɛn ɛf tiz/ and refuse to have any part of my work to be associated in any way with anything /blɑkʧeɪn/ or /krɪptoʊ/ if you see any of my work featured in such a way, know that it was stolen
okay so i just got back home and i'm gonna catch up with everyone in just a moment but may i interest you , , , , , , , , , , in some forbidden sketch kyos
ZOLA Project WIL has a minor configuration/recording error where any instance of [t' i] under A2 following a note containing [a] will be sung as "tyu" rather than "ti." But only under A2 and only after "a"!! Every other instance is fine.
shoutout to all the artists and creative people right now who are getting their ass handed to them by depression and desperately want to make something to try and ease the soulless crushing reality of existing but physically can't because of the depression
my disclaimer, basically: fukase can wear a skirt and still be a guy it's not that deep.
this commenter: STOP ATTACKING HIM AND LET 👏 FUKASE 👏 BE 👏 MALE 👏
it's 3 in the morning but i'm thinking about how i've been seeing a sudden resurgence in qpr hate so this is mio here saying i hope all y'all in queerplatonic relationships have a fantastic day because you deserve the world
it's hard to think of people more influential in the vocaloid sphere than wowaka, and his passion for the craft and his love of music really shone through in each and every one of his works. everyone remembers their first wowaka song. no doubt he will be deeply missed ; ;
small fun tip: if you don't enjoy someone's content anymore, you don't have to keep following them!! you're free to just revisit the stuff you liked every now and then without feeling like you're obligated to follow and deal with sorting through crap you don't like
artwork time!! admittedly though it's a little less fun now that twitter doesn't support transparent .pngs but at least you can get a full look at that million mile long ponytail w funny how dead the colors look without the context of the background w
as a bonus, enjoy some of my old 2020 concept art for the designs used in my cover! ! ! they're essentially one-to-one with the original PV outfits, but with a little flavor thrown in for each ZOLA w
on the topic of hachikyo and the way their form changes depending on their emotional state, i ended up taking a break from kofis last night to put together a kind of emote scale complete with some canon dialogue snippets w
tuning in UTAU: and with a few simple clicks, you've made a perfect pitchbend that sounds as if it has been personally blessed by the gods and delivered to your ears
tuning in VOCALOID: you've spent an hour on this second and your VB sounds tired and in pain
i realized just a little too late that i got their hat wrong but at least it gave me the excuse i needed to go back and clean up a few things as well as fix the color balance w
2020 is the year i stop putting up with pronoun nonsense
next time i say a person's name and immediately follow it up with "they" and an older person interrupts me to ask "who's they" and then adds "oh haha sorry it's just so confusing" i'm dynamaxing and i'm not turning back
and . . . . . . . a social media exclusive . . . . . . . . . the hidden forbidden wavefile formula KYO . . . . . . . . . . . . now with the funky little headset i dropped halfway through w
also ! ! ! have the non-pastel version ! ! ! it has a more solid, earthy look i feel like w mostly i just loved coloring in the glass backing and getting down that perfect gentle succulent green w
The finale of my collaboration with
@ricedeity
and
@soundud
is nearly here! Please enjoy this teaser trailer, and be sure to check out the full video when it releases on the Yamaha Youtube account on 6/20 at 9 PM JST! ✨🩷💙💚✨
#ZOLA_11th_Project
you know what though i still like the sketch because i threw it together real fast and it felt real good and fun so here enjoy the cicada man from a dream a couple months ago
thank you all so much for the outpouring of love and support ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! i legitimately would not be here celebrating this were it not for all the folks who listen to and appreciate my work ;; v ;;
my hopes last year were to make a set of vroid models for the ZOLAs, but kyo alone ended up proving to be a challenge, so i never got much further than his face and hair whoops w
"average vocalo user uses 3 sets of harmonies per song" factoid actualy statistical error. average vocalo user uses 1 set of harmonies per song. MioDaVinci, who lives in cave & uses over 10,000 harmonies per song, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
If you're interested, I also took part in an interview about my experiences with VOCALOID which can be found on the VOCALOID website!! You can read it here:
hello again!! in an end of summer event, i’m reopening kofi commissions!! if you’re fond of the charm of high speed, messy, no pen pressure doodles, please check out the details down below!!
Also, if you download the artwork from the SoundUD website, you'll have access to more than 30 alternate expressions that can be used in a variety of ways, including lip-syncing! Please check them out!
and speaking of an online store , , , , , i may or may not also be considering cleaning up these doodles i made along the way and making a sticker set?? if anyone would be interested in that w
But after much deliberation, we settled on the designs that now appear in the official art! All that was left was thumbnailing poses and drawing the actual artwork. If you look closely, you can almost spot the thumbnails we eventually chose w.
