Mariano Zavala B. designed this incredible Hatsune Miku model.  Hatsune Miku is an anime character that sort of represents an artificial voice in a Japanese music software program.  If you google her name you can find crazy videos of holographic Hatsune Mikus on stage at concerts.  You can find more photos of this model here.
