Before I make any promises, I want to make sure I can actually complete this project of mine.
It'll involve probably 2 hours of costume design, 20 hours of audio production, and 200 hours of audio recording, if my expectations are realistic.
EDIT: Looks like I should be able to do it...and yeah, probably around 100-200 hours of recording to get all the phonemes right.
So it looks like I'll be starting work on an UTAUloid vocal library. Look it up if you're unfamiliar. Essentially freeware, open-source vocaloid software. If the first one goes well I'll look into doing a second one. I already know what I plan to do with it; it's just a matter of executing and applying my plans, recording the phonemes, editing them phonemes, creating 5 or 6 sample tracks to demonstrate my UTAU's functionality in music production, commissioning an artist to render a character design (don't go volunteering; I already know who I'm going to ask), and making a cosplay for it so that I can pimp my creation at cons.
