I've seen some things in common with most of those entries thus far. Cowboy boots, red-white-and-blue, and skimpy bikini tops.

Yeah.

Also short-shorts with suspenders.

"badass" doesn't anything in after used end fail be fine.

...So, uhh, I'm actually working on something to submit for the redesign contest because I'm sick of seeing all the American flags...

But I need advice. Belt, or no belt?

I'm concerned the belt makes the outfit too complicated, which would kill the design. Is the belt is too distracting, and should I streamline and simplify the design by removing it?

Also, too much yellow or no? Is it redesigned enough, or does it just look like casual-weekend-outing Miku or like I tried too hard to avert the usage of U.S. flags? Is it too redesigned and does it need more elements from Miku's original design? Would it appeal enough to whatever "average American" Crypton is going after? Any other random critiques?

...Is it even worth continuing work on this? I kind of hate it already, and there are a couple of really nice designs that I don't want to go up against.

No belt. You should submit it

No! Keep the belt! It pulls the design together! Also, give her some eyes, she's freaking me out!

Hmm. Maybe a bit too much yellow; we don't want her to look like she's cosplaying Rin. How's it look in other colours?

Maybe a different kind of belt would work?

Overdosage of wips here. Shading is still a little weird right now since I'm partway through with it.

^^ A different belt...as in a less floofy one?

Less-floofy might be good.

I like the first one in that bunch and the second-last, but maybe the stripes could be white or pink? I'd be interested to see it, anyway.

Tried out a less floofy belt and no belt. Along with pink stripes on the shorts, blue shirt, and white stripes on socks.

Maybe it's just me, but her face looks...........a bit masculine for some reason. Maybe it's just the color, or I'm just tired, I dunno.

What happens if you shrank down her cheeks+chin area?

Thanks to these damn commercials I've been craving Bacon-wrapped hot dogs all week. Damn you Miku.

Yes, the less-floofy best works perfectly.

Yeah, i really like that design actually. It looks like something Miku'd actually wear.

I think a better division in the neckline between cloth and skin would be nice. Otherwise, I think it is very good, really. Specially when compared to the first version.

You know, at first I thought Toyota was crazy for doing this, but...

The weird part is, this campaign seems to actually be working somehow. I gotta give Toyota credit for sheer balls here.
