Description On November 2017 I joined a character design contest for a Japanese Culture Event in my city. The theme is about four seasons in Japan and it was purposed to be the theme's mascot. There were only six participants including me, and luckily I won, but the event never continued because some internal problem in the event organizer, and I never get my prize  

I never got the chance to present it to people, so I'm just gonna say it here!
The yukata has two colors, which is blue and yellow. Blue represent winter, and Yellow represent summer. The orange fabric with maple leaves represent autumn, and the sakura decorations on her back and the pink ribbon on her obi represent spring. I tried to get the hair color as natural as possible so I came up with grayish-pink hair

To give a more japanese character, aside, of using yukata, I give her some japanese knots which you usually can see on some Japanese decorations, along with the geta. Her obi and her yukata skirt has a dark background with some sparks as the motives, and they represent the scenery of fireworks on summer night festival On her stocking, there is a golden line with red fabric that looks like a fan, and it represent the sunrise. On top of all that, I give her some modern-ish yukata so she would look more attractive

By the way, I haven't give her a name, so if any of you guys have an idea I would like to hear it

Chibi version:
 

I hope you like my artwork

Wow! Great concept for the character. Love how you've gone so in depth with the accessories and giving a specific meaning for each!
the character design is very cute! i love how you've rendered each of the fabrics and the colour palette you've used. great job on rendering the texture of the sandals as well
on a personal note, I feel the legs are slightly big for the body.
