@Tort + Tort;
 * 1) How it is more interesting then an Elf, 2 animal feature vocals and 3 Frankenstein monsters?  How is it more interesting then the concept art which hasn't made it to final?  Answer; neither, its neither more interesting then whats been presented in the past, nor more interesting then the other art.
 * 2) Iroha and Cyber Diva had art people didn't feel fitted. At this point it doesn't matter. People will make the art fit the voice, eventually.
 * 3) I'm not going to disagree with you but point to White Leon. His provuider was BLACK, yet the most popular fan design is WHITE. And then there was Clara and Bruno.  This is not the only case and while I'm annoyed because I like credit where credit is due, it happens all over the music industry and beyond.  Its just a sad reality.  As for the voice not fitting the punk design, Ruby's voice has a deeper tone and often this incites maturity when you hear a deeper tone.  Whereas "cute" incites a high pitch.  Youthful or not, if you take Leon again as an example, you face the same situation of not everyone being able to tell what the voice is trying to say.  Aside from me who else argued about the way Leon was portrayed to the fandom before that article was found? Not many... This is the problem, presuming the artist even heard the voice before doing the art, they'd be in the dark.  Often the artists chosen don't always know the subject of their art's background, we've seen this with KEI who didn't get Vocaloid's concept the first time and he did Miku.

I think I'm disappointed in Nat's design just because it makes me think that its Gumi if she was made to be mordern and not retro. Especially whsiper. ITs not the same, but it was what made me think of it as generic, its "been there done that" and is disappointing for this reason. especially as I saw Dex and Daina praised for being a stand out design...

I think overall the story of Ruby is becoming a tale of one disappointment after another. *Sigh*, not that I planned to get Ruby, I can't afford it but Daina, Sweet ann and Avanna have my eyes on priority buys if I get the money together. :-/
