Name : Namya
Birthday : 14 March
Age : xxxxxxx
Bloodtype : O
Height : 158 cm
Weight : 51
Sizes : B 80 W 67 H 85
Favorite Food : Chicken Nugget
Dislikes : spicy food
Personality and some biodata(?) : She's clumsy (because her yukata always fell off but she always fix it whenever she realized it). She eats a lot and fast/instant food is her favorite food lol. She likes to play video games both inside her room or at arcade. She puts her yukata away if she's inside her apartment because it's hot. She loves Anime, manga especially eroges.
She's a Fox-youkai, because of her hobby playing game made her live on human world(?). Basically she's weaboo-youkai.
Attribute : Her two taiko-alike hairpin and her orange-blue yukata and her fox appearance <3.

The tank-top she used is inspired by Mei tbh. I gave Kitsune-mimi because it's somehow a holy spirit on Japan (I'm reffering from Inari KonKon Koi Iroha anime) lol and thus Taiko is typical to Japan =w=/
Sorry for messy and bad language;; I'll draw her references more later orz

she is from Japan (city will be added if I know where peppy live), she is young and energetic, she likes playing taiko but she not very good playing.
I use color spectrum orange-red-dark inspired from pippidon (blue color comes from peppy as the father of pippidon), dress/uniform inspired from taiko player but I change a bit so it's looks cute and sexy (maybe).
I think It's hard to removed Pippidon permanently because pippidon still appear in osu!taiko default skin, so I try to keep pippidon as accessories and balance ribbon on the right side.

- her head have 4 button/combo osu!taiko
- star eyes pupil
- there are osu!taiko tracks in her uniform
- pippidon accessories
- she wearing "Tabi", special shoes for taiko players http://www.taiko-center.co.jp/english/s ... shoes.html
- armpit
good stuff ♥
may i save it its really cute

Name: Nina
Age: 17
Blood Type: 0+
Occupation: High School Student
Height: 172cm
Weight: 52kg
Hobbies: Photography, history, drawing, playing video games

Backstory: Nina comes from Japanese mid-class family, where father is a journalist and mother is a cashier. She really liked the history of Japan back in the childhood, now she is completely obsessed with it. She's a former high school student with excellent marks and lot of hobbies and friends. She enjoys the life at its maximum.

Artist' Notes: It was really well-spent time sketching and drawing her. Even though I had to change the pose like 3 times to finally get into this final pose. I had an idea about a girl, that is dressed in a typical japanese kimono, since Taiko comes from Japan and give her cherry blossom look. I also experimented with colors and shading. For me, it's so far the best thing I actually drew. Experimenting with new things was really worth it and I really like how it turned out.

Risa d' Forte (Risa-F, R.F.)

Age: 17
Blood type: A
Height: 156 cm
Weight: 51 kg
Birthday: Aug 9


SPOILER
Risa is a royalty (princess) from a distant world (or a different dimension, as it would be called in ours). Due to her royal blood, she possesses the ability to perform sorcery. She is known in her kingdom as the most powerful magician, and this status is true indeed as she is able to travel between dimensions which is, unsurprisingly, a hobby of hers. During one of her dimensions jumps, she discovers our world and has since taken a liking to it, especially due to the diverse cultures and pastimes present. The plethora of activities available has lead to her discover of lots of hobbies: the "moving images" (anime), those graphic novels (manga), video games and modern music. She is currently very interested in rhythm games, in particular, those "drum games" as she calls them.

As for her personality, she is a stereotypical princess dedicated to her kingdom and wishes for it to develop to the level of our world. However, that is only when she is in her world. During her pastime activities here, her personality changes drastically to a cheerful and energetic person, even allowing her manner of speech (which is akin to those other fictional royalty characters, with their "must"s and "shall"s) to change. Additionally, she is quite adventurous, constantly seeking new things all the time. She is very fond of sushi, ramen and ice cream.


I tried to draw her feet a lot of times but I couldn't so I just covered it (sorry!)

Here is the original file:

Occupation: Taiko Master

Half-demon with 4 arms. Always up for a challenge. REALLY loves food, causing her to eat a lot when she gets a chance to do so. Loves going to festivals in Japan. Her Taiko skills have not been beaten by anyone yet.

Because I suck with digital drawing, let me explain the colors I would've used: Black hair, Red mask, Light blue kimono, Orange sash (thing around waist).
She has a Oni mask, to reference the Oni difficulty I suppose. She has 2 Taiko drumsticks in the back of her hair, as opposed to the common sticks they use to hold up hair. She also has 4 arms, to hit the drums faster.

-there isn't much time left so it's only a sketch..


prepare for this cos this is gonna be long
i think?

Name: Kai [is her given name. i mean she named herself, that. i mean she did not name herself "that" i mean agh, you know what i mean. her real name is unknown.]
Birthdate: August 18
physical age: 14
real age: unknown but it is possible that she is a somewhere a thousand years old.. or maybe even more.
Blood type: A
Height: 147 cm
Weight: 44 kg
i know this isn't necessary but... here's a back story:
so as you can see on the birth date, there is no year. that's because her birth year is unknown. But she is believed to be present around the Edo era. Actually, not just "believed to be" but she literally was around that time. She's immortal. She was alive before the whole taiko culture even started. She was the one who started taiko. She created it by banging stuff. So the idea of hitting/tapping things came from her. Long before the creation of taiko, at a very young age, she was the head of festivals and celebrations. But unfortunately, she was murdered by her father just because she played with firecrackers inside their house. So first, her father trapped her inside a barrel-shaped carved wood made from Japanese zelkova tree for 2 days. Naturally, you'd want to escape so you'd tap and move around so somebody can hear. That's what she did. She was amused with the tapping sounds. A whole day and for the whole night, she tapped and banged in a rhythmic way until her father grew mad and was irritated with the noise. Although, their neighbors heard the rhythmic sounds, they did not bother because they thought they were having some kind of party. Their neighbors were also amused with the magnificent sound. Well, since her father was pissed off(and drunk), he then murdered his daughter. She did not make a sound. She was asleep by that time. Then she was buried. It was a very sad funeral, everyone was sad. Nobody even knew what happened to her(people weren't very in to investigating stuff). They only knew that she ate some random herb at a wild garden and was poisoned. Very sad. What an evil dad. Although Greek culture has nothing to do with the Japanese culture, Dionysus, god of festivals, heard Kai's cry(more like beat... it was that loud to be heard?). He responded late. So, Kai was in the heavens and was approached by Dionysus. They did some chit-chat.. for 12 years. And after 12 years, he resurrected Kai and fixed her zombie body into a healthy human body. So hooray she's alive again and made immortal by Zeus. They had some talk okay, too much details if i have to explain why they made her immortal. So, there you go. She's immortal now. She became the spirit of the daiko. So, when people play or perform using taiko drums in a certain event.. i mean imagine that you're a watching a performance with taiko drums(not watching someone play taiko no tatsujin in an arcade, okay?) you'll fee some kind of "feeling". it's indescribable, but you'll feel something. That's Kai. She is the essence of taiko.

personality:
Kai is very multi-talented
She can pretty much do anything
unpredictable mood swings/ very bipolar
easily becomes irritated(so please don't piss her off)
either hyper or gloomy as heck.
very caring towards other people
will put you first, she'll put herself last
never gonna give you up
never gonna let you down
never gonna run around
or desert you.
a true friend.
likes to amaze people
likes to be praised by people
will love you passionately
(it's starting to look like a dating site bio)
introvert cutie
loving
makes mature humor
laughs at shallow, corny jokes
stays up late
she looks like she's acting childish but her mind is a lot more mature than you think. not in a sexual way though. you know she's been living on this earth for centuries so a lot of experience cha-ching
creative

hobbies:
well OBVIOUSLY besides tapping or playing taiko..
paints
composes music
play with pets
watch films
play sports
fencing
riding bikes
skiing

oh yeah just an additional note. She doesn't look very ancient or something like that because she stayed in a 14 year old body when she was turned immortal. She casually changes her name. She has also adapted with todays's generation that's why she looks uhh normal? i guess.. like a normal kid. Oh yeah, her hair changes from cold colors to warm colors in goddess mode and wears a proper attire for taiko(hachimaki, happi, tabi, etc.)

wish i had a graphic tablet to draw digitally.

Credits to Confuse-Ask for staying up just to help me with some information cos i have no net and also for uploading the pictures cos it won't work on mine. I'm really sorry for waking you up. Thank you.

if you read all this waw thanks cos i realized how long this is.

One hour left. Probably one of the last guys, but here we are. lol
Anny and I collaborated in this event. I made the concept while she realized it to spare you guys of my poor drawing skills.


2000x3337 Version
Concept on paper

SPOILER


Some drafts we had:


More to taiko's color aligned:

Character

Name: 大子(=Daiko; Big / Great Child)
Sex: Male (Two male and two female mascots in osu!)
Date of birth: 07.06.1005 (765 -> Namco)
Age: Could be even more, he is afterall an Oni.
Bloodtype: 0
Hight: ~165cm
Weight: ~60kg


Concept / Idea

We tried to represent the insturment Taiko itself, which is followed by the japanese traditions but making it somehow fit into the art concept of the current mascots osu! has. Considering Taiko being the second oldest game after beatmania, yet still being a very colorful festival-like game mode, we designed a character with a young looking appereance but high age to represent these two infromation.

The character is half-human half-demon(=Oni, 鬼). The horns and humanoid appereance relieve this. Not only is he an Oni because the highest difficulty in Taiko is called like that, but also because Taiko requieres some kind of strenght and endurance to play which a demon clearly has. The light defined muscles of the character should indicate that as well. The haircolor is red and rather sharp shaped to represent a hot-blooded nature of this character which fits perfectly to an Oni and the insturment Taiko itself. Continuing with the traditions, we are using a Kimono-like clothing which is often weared by taiko-drummers. We gave our best to make it somehow aligne to the other mascots design, even though it might underline a more festal-like kimono at the end. The kimono is hold by a bandage which got laced together by ropes. As for accessoirs, we were also planing a little drum and a Sake bottle on hight of the characters hips to show one more time the maturity but also... because Onis just like to drink(lol).

Some insight information:
  1. We called the character Daiko because the name and signs are similar to Taiko and because his appereance is child/teenager like. In short: A big kid.
  2. Birthday is the June 07th 1005 which would be written 07/06/05 - 765(=Namco), the magic number in Taiko (too many puns?).
  3. Male because in this way we have two female and two male mascots in osu!.
Information about drums in general
Taiko is a mode which represents a very strong instrument; the drum. It is loud and powerful and normally in use for giving the baseline of a song. As they are very loud and straightforward, we based our character on that.


Once again, Anny and I collaborated in this event.

Anny and I collaborated in this event. I made the concept while she realized it to spare you guys of my poor drawing skills.

2000x3337 Version
Concept on paper

Character
Name: 大子(=Daiko; Big / Great Child)
Sex: Male (Two male and two female mascots in osu!)
Date of birth: 07.06.1005 (765 -> Namco)
Age: Could be even more, he is afterall an Oni.
Bloodtype: 0
Hight: ~165cm
Weight: ~60kg
Concept / Idea
We tried to represent the insturment Taiko itself, which is followed by the japanese traditions but making it somehow fit into the art concept of the current mascots osu! has. Considering Taiko being the second oldest game after beatmania, yet still being a very colorful festival-like game mode, we designed a character with a young looking appereance but high age to represent these two infromation.
The character is half-human half-demon(=Oni, 鬼). The horns and humanoid appereance relieve this. Not only is he an Oni because the highest difficulty in Taiko is called like that, but also because Taiko requieres some kind of strenght and endurance to play which a demon clearly has. The light defined muscles of the character should indicate that as well. The haircolor is red and rather sharp shaped to represent a hot-blooded nature of this character which fits perfectly to an Oni and the insturment Taiko itself. Continuing with the traditions, we are using a Kimono-like clothing which is often weared by taiko-drummers. We gave our best to make it somehow aligne to the other mascots design, even though it might underline a more festal-like kimono at the end. The kimono is hold by a bandage which got laced together by ropes. As for accessoirs, we were also planing a little drum and a Sake bottle on hight of the characters hips to show one more time the maturity but also... because Onis just like to drink(lol).
