hihi :) MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!! ANYWAys so i'm super tired right now so i'm not going to do a proper desc intro, i'll just get right into the main thing haha [ go! // nct dream (istg i'm not a kpop stan i'm not) ] i chose this song because i love music that makes me feel energetic, music i can shout along to and just enjoy. i had to make that part of her character so she's a really outgoing, happy person who doesn't let bad things stop her. she lives by learning from her and other's mistakes, and she doesn't like to spend time dwelling on the bad things in life. of course, since most of the lyrics aren't in english, i didn't really use the words from this song, but i implemented the main parts into her design; she's young, she freaky (and doesn't care what others think), and she's a graffiti artist who always manages to escape the police that try to catch her. the last part is really important in the connection because the whole song is basically themed around escaping something, and in the mv it seems like the members are trying to run away from some type of shopping center or smth (just my take lol). her backstory also ties into that- her past is something she wants, desperately, to run from. i also used those little cute clips they put into the mv to say that she's an innocent, kind, and funny person. she loves dying her hair just bc nct loves dying their hair lmao but her favorite hair color is orange, the color of most of the group member's hair in the video. i also used the appearances of the members for other things, like outfit designs and features (sort of). okay that might not have made sense, but i based it on a backstory i made for her that i didn't really feel like typing out so here's a sum-up: she was born when her parents were fresh into college. she's an orphan now though, her parents died in a school shooting during their last year of college (a bit on that: her parents both went to types of art school- her dad for music and her mom for painting. their classes were on the same campus). she was supposed to go to an orphanage but she hid at a friend's house until the police stopped trying to force her to go to the establishment. she lives in nyc and practices graffiti art on walls around the city. one officer still sometimes tries to arrest her "for her art", even though it's not considered vandalism, just to make her go to the orphanage. true to the song though, she's freaky fast and the guy never catches her. she tries to put up an excited, happy facade to hide her grief of losing her parents and never growing up with them. that's why she lives in the moment as much as possible, because her past isn't something she wants to recreate or think about. some more about each piece- + main full body (dream): i drew this a while ago, i think a few days after the contest began? it's a full body of her in front of a wall she's graffitied, which says 'dream' (as in nct dream haha). + accessories: there's a backstory for each of these items. go into the second sprite (the one labeled 'extras') for the stories + let's throw in a bust, why not (you're too slow, i'm too fast): i made this more recently, and it took the least amount of time of all three pieces. i already had a full-body image, but i really wanted to draw something from the waist up, so i chose a ref for this pose and started drawing. my sister came and took the device i was using for the reference though halfway through my sketch, so i sort of used a ref and sort of didn't? idk but it was meant to picture her evading the officer that wants to catch her. it was to show that she doesn't really try, she just escapes every time. (the lights are for that nice -,' police are chasing me ',- touch) now for additional stuff about my chara because you care!! + naomi + jewish + 16 years old + taurus + wacky (some might even say,, freaky? ehehh) sense of fashion + favorite colors are blue and green + likes- music, art, and sports + dislikes- sitting still, cranberries, and insects that's all for now! this contest was so so fun, i love the design i came up with and i wouldn't have even thought of doing this if it wasn't for () hosting the competition, so thank you :D congrats on 2k and 4k, you really deserve it <3 go by nct dream (but sped up about 1.5 times) honestly i'm just glad that i finished this and shared it on time :)
