Staying at home feels like it’s lasting an eternity, but FanForge decided to give us an incredible opportunity to stay creative by announcing the “Cozy at Home” For Fans by Fans x Hatsune Miku contest! The results were announced on May 18th, 2020, resulting in one Grand Prize winner, two runner-up winners and the special “Cozy at Home Award” winner.
All winners will be gifted with special goodie bags from Crypton Future Media in addition to official commissions using the chosen designs, which will be available to purchase at a later date!
The Winning Designs
The Grand Prize went to “cozy cozy” illustrated by nina. It’s a charming interpretation of how the piapro Vocaloids may be spending their time based on their personalities, as can be seen by the familiar items surrounding them as well as corresponding colours.
Next we have the runner-ups!
The first runner-up is “Let’s Sing at Home” illustrated by hekopon. The design features Miku laying on the floor comfortably, resting her back on a stack of pillows and jamming out with her beloved leek surrounded by tiny plushies of herself. We can certainly feel the relaxing atmosphere here…
The second runner-up is “Rin’s Quarantine Scrapbook” illustrated by Miwaku. The design utilizes the idea of a scrapbook, which is both absolutely adorable and original! It shows everyday activities of the piapro six during the period of lockdown, which seems to send out a positive message of “Keeping calm and carrying on” during these difficult times.
My absolute favorite is the picture Rin took of Meiko, Luka, and Miku all wearing face masks together.
And last but definitely not the least is the winning design for the “Cozy at Home Award” – “Let’s Relax” illustrated by Shinkuplanet. Miku looks peacefully cozy sitting on her little chair as she is about the have a sip from her cup. Certainly, it’s the kind of relaxation we could all use right now.
Did you enjoy our little showcase of the lovingly cozy arts? Personally, I feel much more relaxed now… I hope that you’ll get to enjoy that blissful feeling yourself and… I can’t simply wait to see the merchandise based on those arts!
