A detail i missed before. For some reason her hair is raster shaded but it is only thing shaded that way. I wonder why. Not like rasterizing conveys hair texture well. Is it to convey shininess while avoiding a gradient? It does seem that may be why so long as you dont look too close

Admittedly as funny as it is seeing people worry this is the last Miku bank, it does make me worry how easy a misinterpretation were to become spread by everyone so quickly. It even was spoken about by a handful of Japanese speakers.
As obvious as the answer is “no, Crypton will make more Miku banks because she makes a lot of money for the company”, it does genuinely worry me how much of the community jumps to negative conclusions near immediately. It happens way too frequently these days. Even I’m guilty as charged, but I try to approach responsibly at least.
