celestrai (celest)
I'm a vocal synth user with many hobbies and even more projects!Besides being part of Eclipsed Sounds, I draw, write songs, do logo design, make PVs, do a ton of crafts, & work on my UTAU! I hope I can get to know more and more people! :)
My Work
I do a little bit of everything - artwork, video editing, music, and graphic design are mostly hobbies to me but sometimes are done for professional purposes!
Artwork
I usually create artwork "as-needed" for other projects, so it isn't my main focus. Even so, I try to improve a little bit every time. I also do pixel art every so often, which is something I really enjoy.
(I'm still figuring out which pieces to put here - sorry!)
Video Editing
Most of my video editing/PV creation work currently is for Eclipsed Sounds, but it is something I really enjoy and so I hope to do more of it in the future for my own projects & possibly as commissions again.
Most of my video editing & PV creation work is for original songs that I've made - I always try to have lots of fun with them!
I've also made some videos as commissions for other creators - these are some examples of that work!
I create the videos for Eclipsed Sounds as well- these 2 are my best work so far with the company!
Music
I mostly write music as an excuse to mess around with vocal synths! I don't upload frequently or take it too seriously, but I'm really glad this is something I can do for fun.
While I don't upload frequently, I try to at least publish a song with Rana every year for her anniversary!
Otherwise, I write music primarily using HEXIA, my UTAU! I love the freedom of working with a vocal synth character that belongs to me.
Sometimes, I'll use another vocal synth's anniversary as an excuse to upload a new song!
Logo Design
I've done a good deal of logo design work for quite a few projects! I got started with this as a hobby for the VOCAfest events I ran in 2019 & 2020, and I am still refining my work as I learn to use more tools! Each logo was designed based on the needs of its usage as well as the personal preferences of the commissioner (if commissioned).
Current Projects
I am currently involved in a number of vocal synthesis things, leading some and being just a participant in others. I've noted my part alongside each entry!
Main Focus
As always when I'm not at my day job, my main focus is the work I do as a part of the team at Eclipsed Sounds! As a small team, we are always giving it our all to do right by our users and I am so glad to be able to make this my top priority!
Other Projects
As more of a hobby, I also do my best to stay involved with some more vocal synthesis community-based projects! I can't help but keep making myself more busy, but I love being part of the community too much to stay away!
Previous Projects
This is a non-exhaustive list of previous vocal synthesis projects I was a part of, leading some and just being a participant in others. I've noted my part alongside each project!
