The only way I can see how this project could be done for free, is if he voiced and drew the character art for her himself.

I can guarantee you that literally NO one is willing to voice a 3-pitch VCV bank for free. The same goes for decent artwork. No one is just going to hand you these things for free.

This isn't even the first time something like this (funding for an UTAU voicebank) has happened. The kickstarter for Tohoku Zunko's sibling's UTAU banks raised much more money than they even needed. Not to mention that they were asking for about $20,000, $600 is a mere sliver of that amount.

And please don't say things like "producing something that nobody wants" just because you personally don't like the idea of the project, because I for one think it's a really cool idea, and I'm sure others do aswell. It's even been stated on the VocaloidOtaku forum that a voice provider and artist has been found.
