Design My Utau Contest!

BG INFO
  Hey guys! My computer is about done for and everything crashed so now I have to start from scratch again! But, I'm back utau-ing and am currently in progress of releasing a new utau! Her name is Rin-05, but it's probably going to change.

Anyways, I'm kinda running out of ideas for a design, so I decided that I'll hold this contest to find who can design an outfit for her! It'll be her OFFICIAL design so make it count. I'll be sure to credit you in the end~

Here's her basic info:
Age: Approx. 15~17
Voice Type: Soft
Race: Android
Personality: Bland. Just meh. Indifferent to a lot of things but very lax and happy all the time. Just someone really chill but surprisingly bubbly. Unnaturally cheery. Someone who likes/wants to fly for no real reason. Her feelings are very "plastic" and hard to understand.
Bio: An android designed by a no-life. She was created to sing but out of sheer laziness and lack of resources, the scientist that created her left her with a beaten-up voice box and muffle-sounding voice. She wants to get by living life as a "human."

Reference
You don't need to specifically follow this reference, but I want the HAIR and EYES to be similar to this. She must have black hair and lilac-violet eyes.

I'm holding this contest in two categories:

Official Design Contest
A contest to find her default outfit. This is the more important one of the two because it's going to be the design that she always wears. I'm going to be very strict on this category because, well, It's going to be the one everyone sees at her release!

Participants:
Shine

Alternate, Casual Design Contest
A contest to find her alternate outfit. Just in case the other outfit is hard for others to draw or just weird in the normal world, this is a contest to show what she can wear casually. It's like if she steps outside, how would she not be stared at? This contest is the one i'm more lenient with. I mean, I'll take anything, really. Just make it neat looking and I'll see!

Participants:
Shine




Rules:
-Only up to 2 entries are allowed.
-No Stealing Cheaters >:sad: I understand some designs might be similar but if I see that it's almost EXACTLY the same, I'll have to ask you to take it down.
-Work your hardest! You could submit a simple sketch and then finish it when you win if you want. The final product will probably be the file that I put in her bank download. *DING DING!! But, I WILL eventually draw her out myself, though, of course. I will however keep your design enclosed in the VB.
-Relate to her reference picture. I don't need a WHOLE different design. I already sketched a design out if you want to use it. You don't need to, but i'm just saying not to make a whole 'nother utau XD.
-Post your art entries on DA then link it here so I can attach it to your name. I don't wat to make another account somewhere else just to see your entry. I mean, I will if it's a lot of people but 2 or three people isn't really gonna make me do anything.

~PRIZES~
EDIT: Since like barely anyone entered in, I'll reduce the prizes to like...yeah. Just read below:
Alright! Now for the stuff you guys actually care about~!
I will now assign 2 prizes to a 1st place and runner-up! Notice I said designs instead of people. That's right! You can win twice if your designs made me tingle inside! That means, yes, two prizes for you.

1st Place:
A drawing of your utau by me~
1 cover using your utau in a ust I meticulously edit (With cover art that's NOT the picture I draw)
A brand new UST you request for me to make (must give me an existing VSQ/midi) or a CV utau you ask me to oto!
A shout-out to you in the credits page of my utau's bank with your YT/DA link on it
A duet between Rin and your utau for fun~

Runner Up(now the alternative design):
A drawing of your utau by me
A cover using your utau in a pre-made ust that's loosely edited by me~(With cover art that's NOT the picture I draw)
A shout-out to you in the credits page of my utau's bank with your YT/DA link on it
A duet between Rin and your utau~

There is no more alternate design contest! The runner up for the official design is now the alternative!

So now, the deadline for this should be somewhere by the end of March to the middle of April. I will extend the date if need be but only 1 extension. Only accepting 1 week max. late.

Go Go Go~ If I missed anything, feel free to ask questions below~

i don't think it's a good idea to use a UST made out of a VSQ or a midi as a prize. If i'm not wrong, the midi or the VSQ will be used as a base for the timing right? :/ i'm not sure if people would approve

I would be interested in this contest! I don't have much time right now (only after the Easter Holidays begin, in the middle of March), but I will surely try this out. I love her voice and the prizes seem really alluring! I'll give a try at this somehow.

It will be used for the base/ timing, yes, but I'm not so sure I'm releasing the ust just yet. I just said I would create a new UST out of an existing midi/VSQ, but about releasing...I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure it's okay to use a VSQ/midi if you don't release the UST. If possible, I could ask the person if I could release it but if that person isn't contactable, then I'll just have to keep the UST....

If you have a suggestion for a new prize, then you could tell me~

This looks interesting! I'll have a go at it. Though hope you don't discriminate against traditional, I don't have much time for digital art and I'm more experienced with markers anyways.

^-^ Ok~ I'll add you. For which category, though? And I'm fine with whatever method you use. As long as it's a good quality, I'm happy to take it.
