(ahah emote echo)

It's a given when fans design that they will take their favourite elements from their favourite Vocaloids. I think to create a new design you must be able to think outside the Vocaloid-fandom box and squash your preconceptions about Vocaloid designs. I think you get the most original designs from artists with only the knowledge of what they are drawing (Vocaloid synthesis software), not other designs or the surrounding fandom.

Professional designers might take a concept that was successful (i.e the robotic elements) and use it, but it often comes out more unique, because they know what they are doing.
