Introducing: Skye

Skye is a side project I started to keep my creative juices flowing...even if right now they more or less... are not. I've been very inspired by Vocaloids and Skydoll lately, and since I ultimately fail at making fandom based OC's, I decided to take this character I've had floating around in my head lately and make her into a combination of both.

Skye is sort of my version of virtual idols, but instead of doing it with Vocaloid programs or animation (which I may try EVENTUALLY, if I'm feeling brave), I compiled an "inspiration" playlist of songs that I basically think fit her personality and that I think would sound like songs she would sing, if she had a voice. The idea was to base a series of illustrations and mini comics off of my imaginings of the songs, but I'm not in a big hurry to make a ton of material NOW. She is basically a project to help me loosen up if I need some kind of creative break from my other projects.

Her basic story is that she was an A.I. (Artificial Intelligence, or... Artificial Idol....hur hur watch me being clever) who was created for the entertainment of a society in Ajahli and Rakka's world that is primarily technology based. Idols were created to sing for the kings and deities, and ended up becoming known world wide. So basically, Skye and her "sisters" are celebrities in their world. I think Tad might even be a closet fanboy who hides his magazines under the floorboards. (He's a sneaky one, that wolf).

Different "dolls" sing different types of music. Skye's genre is (because I'm a big fan as well) J-pop/Electronica. Her sister, Mie, is more the rock/gothic electronica type, but I'm still working on her playlist since I want to have a more consistent voice rather than random songs I just happen to think are cool.

So here is Skye's playlist. If J-pop or whatever isn't your thing, not to worry, not all dolls will feature Japanese music. I just happened to have a clearer image in my head of Skye's identity, which is why hers is out first.

Skye is also a character I will be using for stock purposes, she'll show up in a multitude of things without any set storyline or whatever. So don't be surprised if she shows up out of the blue as a background character, a paper doll, stationary, or random designs and doodles.

Speaking of, here's a random Oekaki doodle of Skye while I was trying to figure out her design. Derp.
