My entry for kub-e 's (DTA) Coukyo  contest!


DTA Entry # 1 for Toasted PoppyCoukyo, seen on the left:

I just love those warm colors <3 I grew up in California and the state flower there is the poppy! Particularly the bright orange ones, I always walked past hundreds of them growing wild on my way to the bus stop. Orange quickly grew to be my favorite color, and though that's for many reasons, I know one of them is the fields full of poppies I lived nearby as a child. So I feel a particular attachment to this little one!

I tried a really soft, painterly-like style of coloring to do something a little different than what I'm used to, to try and do this lovely character some justice. I think it came out pretty!

-character info redacted- I'll probably use it to develop another character now ;w;

anything orange or brown is instant LOVE *thumbs up*

His personality is great, but you should try to list out negative traits! Giving characters strictly positive traits could get a bit boring. Does he have any pet peeves, etc. Not that his personality is bad! He's quite adorable. I like that he constantly keeps stocks in check, reminds me of a squirrel haha.

I hope you win! I constantly see you entering these types of things with the most gorgeous art I've ever seen and really think you deserve to win some. Your art is absolutely beautiful.

I agree Love those warm colors.

And erm... I know how to develop characters and make them balanced. This is just for a contest entry, I don't own the character so I don't 100% develop them unless I happen to win Otherwise I'd be writing essays and thinking of literally all of their quirks and everything... which would then have to be deleted if I lost. Not worth it to me!

Thanks!

Wow i have to say this is a absolutely divine entry. The fact you take details from real life things and implement them into this express such creativity and it's so innovative

That painterly coloring/shading looks really great! I adore how soft it looks; in combination with the orange poppies in the background this piece looks so lovely! It also fits the character, since he seems like such a gentle, doting Coukyo (if that makes sense)? I think you were successful in doing him justice!

The personality you gave him is adorable, and the anecdote explaining your fondness for this little one is quite heartwarming! I wish you the best of luck in winning! ;w;
