UTAITE DESIGN, name rebrand - 2023.02.21
Hello everyone, it's been a while.
I have replaced my Utaite page with a new character design sheet.
The character is meant to be my representative avatar for singing endeavors, as well as potential Vtubing or streaming endeavors - if I go down that route.
"Stelyos Arcyne" is the character's full name.
Steel, or Stelyos, can be used interchangeably to refer to myself or the character.
This is an announcement I also made on my YouTube channel page a few months ago, but I decided to shift away from using "SteelEmissary".
I do not dislike the name, but it's harder for general audiences to look up, spell, or remember.
I made the name specifically to encompass Vocaloid and UTAU specific works (it was basically a moniker that referenced a "message delivering robot")
In diversifying from Vocaloid / UTAU related work, I would like a name that can universally encompass all of my creative endeavors.
I have officially changed my handle to "Stelyos" to hopefully be easier and more distinct to search, as well as a name that flows better.
Stelyost is basically a backup handle incase "Stelyos" is taken on certain platforms, as a portmanteau of "Stelyos / OST", (in Twitter, YT, if using @ to link my page, Stelyost would show up, which is fine).
In typing, referring or crediting me and my projects, it should be "Stelyos". (such as tagging or crediting a work with #Stelyos )
However, "Steel" is still perfectly fine to use to address me - as that's still in active use with the those I communicate with. It can be thought of as a casual use name.
Thank you very much.
