Xin Hua Illustration and v flower Voice Sample Set Featured Image version 1

New Official Xin Hua Artwork and v4 flower Voice Material Set from Gynoid!

Gynoid has recently released some exciting new content for fans of their VOCALOIDs, Xin Hua and v flower! Read on to find out more about these updates, and how you can acquire them yourself.

New Official Xin Hua Artwork

First, now up on Gynoid’s free downloads page are a pair of new official artwork for Xin Hua Japanese, which were drawn by the artist 推奨幻想 (Suisougensou). Unlike the box art design for Xin Hua Japanese (which is a recoloring of Xin Hua V3‘s design by VOFAN, and was previously used for her Cubase AI bundle pack), these new illustrations are all-original, and clad Xin Hua in an adorable new outfit. However, it retains enough elements from her original design – such as her twin tails, beret, and lifeline-like hairpiece – to still make her instantly recognizable as Xin Hua.

Like all other content distributed on Gynoid’s downloads page, these new illustrations are free to use for any non-commercial purpose. Those who wish to use them for commercial purposes must get permission from Gynoid.

Furthermore, Gynoid has stated that new illustrations like these will be released monthly as free material for VOCALOID creators to use in their songs and videos.

“I was given the honor of designing the new artwork for Gynoid’s Japanese VOCALOID, Xin Hua! I think I managed to draw her really cute, so I hope everyone likes her! ^^ http://gynoid.co.jp/news/view/56/

“[Update] Starting this month, we will be distributing new illustrations drawn by various artists for use as video material, all in support of VOCALOID creators. First up is a new Xin Hua design by 推奨幻想 ()! –

“A whole bunch of new official artwork is coming! Everyone give ’em a try! (I hear that an illustration of me is coming next month!、、、feelin’ anxious、、、!”

You can download and start using the new illustrations for Xin Hua Japanese here.

It seems like we can expect more free artwork in the coming months, so stay tuned for further updates!
