Since coming back I've wanted to retire my Utau Tonyu as a original character and create a new Utau however with the same voice (I barely sound like Tonyu anymore anyways, my voice is a lot deeper)
my reasoning behind it is that I created Tonyu in 2009, he originally was a recolor of Len and my friend was his twin and her name was Takasha (I know that is terrible, 2009 was a special time) and I never completely had control of his design since he came from a recolor then when I made him his first voicebank he turned into a Crypton formula design then he slowly evolved to his current design which I do love since Mrs Peach designed it and Myst drew his current concept art, however it still doesn't feel personal enough since I am myself a artist.
one more thing is the name itself "Tonyu Tasamuki" this name means something like "dripping in the streets" (I know hahaha) or Tonyu itself I believe means soy milk in Japanese
I just feel I'm a different person now and I want complete control of my design and character from the knowledge and artistic direction I have now.
What do you all think, should I follow my heart and just do it?
