✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧════════════════════════ 「 ✦ DTAE ⭑ Neapolitan Bear ✦ 」 ════════════════════════✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ Hello, I saw this cute design, and I had to immediately enter. Unfortunately, I only saw it at the last few days, so I tried to get an entry done within the free time I have :) I'll be working on the character information section above when I have free time today, but I'd like to get this posted before the DTA closes since in a few hours it will be the 28th for me. My first entry is a fullbody of the design; it will be the first art piece I made, and it's within my comfort zone as an anthropomorphic character. The second entry is me getting outside of my comfort zone and trying to draw a human from my recent studies with no reference to see how much I learned, and I'm quite happy with the results! Drawing skirt ruffles was really entertaining for me. Thank you for the opportunity for such a beautiful design~ ════════════════════════✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✿ Character Information ✿ ╭─── ✧ ₊˚ . ───╮ ☁️ Name : Pearl Valentino ? Pronouns: She/her ? Age : Adult (Mid 20s) ✨ Role : Part-time model, part-time pet groomer ╰─── ₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ───╯ ☁️ ── Personality :: ☁️ ── Background:: Pearl blossomed within the outskirts of a town, with rolling hills between small residences huddled together. Crawling foliage embellished the sidewalks, grass beneath swaying under pounding heels. Bicycles glided seamlessly amid the narrow lanes, which permitted only one car to travel by at a time. Locals exchanged friendly hellos and goodbyes while they went about their regular lives, their children roaming the streets on foot or on scooters every day during daytime hours. Her mother was a florist at a quaint boutique at the heart of the town; her father was a carpenter, running a small shop on the corner of the main street. Their storefronts were each always filled with colorful blooms and handmade wooden creations. Both shops are humble and providing just as needed to continue their idyllic lives but not extravagant ones. The family lived in a cozy house with a white picket fence, had afternoon teas at the coffee table on the porch, and watched over Pearl sparring with scarecrows with wooden sticks. Yet a life in a small town didn't allow much room for success when adjacent was the much grander city, one that expands every year with towering skyscrapers and bustling business districts, foundations built on fields, and opportunities that present themselves. Self-notes to expand on [WIP]: - The city kept growing, and soon Pearl's family needed to move to that city, taking Pearl, who was 15 years old at the time, and she continued high school there. - Pearl is clueless about her identity and what she wants to be in the future. She's slowly learning about herself, finding her whole style in clothes. - She decides to join the university as a historical archivist, working part-time as a pet groomer to cover up bills and university costs. - One day, a photographer waiting with their dog noticed her and offered her a modeling opportunity. - Pearl learns that history isn't what she wanted to continue studying, so she dropped out and continued being part-time model and part-time pet groomer because that was where her passion was. ☁️ ── Quick Facts :: — Likes : — Dislikes : — Hobby : " [Insert Quote] " ════════════════════════✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ Solya - Is This Love??
