Sakura Sekiga (UTAU Sakura Design Submission)

Woaugh fellas I love when Yuuma Sekiga, kebab enthusiast said, “it’s kebabbing time” and then kebabb’d all over the sakura trees!

Hey guys!! I decided to try my hand at UTAU-4-YOU’s Sakura UTAU Design Event! While this UTAU is not mine, belonging to Sekiya, I decided to try designing a Sakura themed version of one of my favorite UTAUs, Yuuma Sekiga!

GHGHGHGH OKAY SO Yes. I know this design is kinda big stretch, since, for whoever doesn’t know, this is what Yuuma’s original design is like actually:

Official Art by: Toudou Charo

But like: I feel like the simplicity of the original gave me a lot to work with! Plus it gives me time to gush my favorite UTAU since nineteen-aught-seven again. :0c Yippee!

Since Yuuma is a very powerful and versatile voice suitable for most rock songs, I inspired the aesthetics of this design based around the colorful pop-punkish aesthetics of certain Visual Kei! And to help get my mind in the right headset for an appealing design, I thought about a design I personally would like seeing performed in concert, similarly to the annual Magical Mirai costumes that are reserved exclusively for themes and encores. :0c

While some outfits clearly don’t look realistically comfortable to dance in (2020′s design...), they do look really pleasing to watch someone dance in! So I tried to make a design that I thought would look neat to watch a little funky fella bounce around in. That’s partially the reason why he has those weird stray black strands; I imagined them bouncing a little bit alongside his hair bun. 

I tried to retain his jacket a little with this look. I thought about going for a crop jacket initially but I inevitably decided against it. Plus, I don’t think the slight shoulder drop of one sleeve would’ve looked as good, in retrospect.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a good place to keep the “kebab” on his jacket. But, I also wanted to stick to the yuuma sekiga kebab man lore, so I put a secret kebab hidden in this design somewhere. :0c Woagh!

Either way, I’m super excited to share this design with you all! As I said, Yuuma is one of my favorite UTAUs, so I’m happy to not only gush about him, but share this design I drew for the Sakura event! I think it’s super interesting, and I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you’re interested!
