Well...the only two with progress are Kenage Kaisho and Bion Kimusume for me since my latest, Leil, is in her first ever bank that is perfect. But Kaisho and Kimu have unsavory, idiotic origins of a less knowledgable, Vocaloid-obsessed me...
Kenage Kaisho's CV 1.0 - Made between January-April of 2011 (Recorded with a brandless headset mic, actually had nice quality for such a random mic - the bank has since been removed)
There were updates to her old CV, a
1.1 and a
1.2 that were never shown, even an octave-up.
Kenage Kaisho's VCV+CV Beta 0.1 - Made between August-March of 2012 (Same mic - there was an old beta but this one had some improvements, though the CV is bad)
And her latest bank, to be released soon:
Kenage Kaisho's CV 2.0 - Being made currently (Blue Yeti mic - is going to be tri-pitch with the main pitch already done, high nearly done, and low needing to be done, also with VV strings and is overall a far superior bank)
This sample only has her base set.

I will record a new VCV for her (only base set) in the spring.
Now for Bion Kimusume...*sobs everywhere in shame*
Bion Kimusume's "original" CV - Made summer of 2010 (Done with the headset mic - this is actually the one with an oto, there's videos of her without one. Super embaressing, those oto-less ones. I knew nothing about UTAU then. Her old name was Bion Amai.)
Bion Kimusume's CV 1.0 - Made from February-August of 2012 (Headset mic - I'd already been through VCV so I knew a lot more, included VV strings, though is missing PY set because the headset mic was breaking. This bank is technically released but I still haven't video released her.)

And currently being sporadically worked on:
Bion Kimusume's VCV - Made from August 2012 to now (Blue Yeti mic - I should be finishing this bank sometime, I keep neglecting to and it's nearly done...)

She'll probably get a new CV someday to up the quality and not have those missing syllables.
Leil, to put a lot into perspective, is the culmination of three years of learning, and I consider the best thing I will ever make in UTAU. Done with my Yeti mic, will be VCV+CV and romaji encoded so an all-in-one bank. Been working on her since November-ish, but she's facing what Kimu is in terms of that I'm neglecting to finish her in favor of USTs and Kaisho 2.0.
ahhh everyone can get better (And to think, those old Kaisho and Kimu videos were the BEST ONES. There were far worse ones...)
As a quiet secret there WAS an UTAU planned and recorded before Kimu/Amai. Spring of 2010. It was Leil. And I had even LESS of an idea and WORSE pronunciation. All that's left of that is an MP3 on my iPod that shall never be heard. Nothing like the Leil of now.

I've finally managed to get Airisu to sound as I intended for her CV to sound- like a robot. Here's a final addition to her updates:
