While the official winner was Ayumu Uehara, who will appear in the first upcoming picture presentation.
I would like to offer a consolation prize to the fans of the second-placed Yu Takasaki.
For those who haven't heard yet, Yu Takasaki will be officially appearing in the upcoming Love Live! School Idol Festival 2 Miracle Live.
As part of the promotions, they have revealed an official sprite for her.

Isn't she adorable?
And so, I did some editing to create a sprite set from the official one, taking inspiration from her expressions in the Nijigasaki anime. Here's my first attempt.
NEUTRAL YU
