Description

:iconnautipods:


(OPEN) Group Mascot Design contest! (11 DAYS LEFT)



Traits:
- 4 tentacles (Common)
- C-shell (Common)
- Standard Eyes (Common)

Design Notes: This design came about because I too (like many of the other entrants) felt that something completely common would be quite fitting for the group mascot (and also... because my other entry is 100% uncommon. I had to balance things out, no? XP )

For his colors, I looked at shells... specifically very shiny shells. Like those of the cowry and similar species. The designs were gorgeous, yet simple.. and the colors were perfect. I do enjoy neutral colors, indeed I always prefer them... then again, I am outside among the dirt and mud a great deal, so I do have an affinity for browns and tans. And white... because it's such a pure color.

Also, again, false eye... this time not to much a perfect eye-coloring, but more an solid-colored upraised 'indentation' on the shell itself. This too is extremely shiny, giving the appearance of a bright and curious eye.

And lastly.. the freckles. Giving the impression of youth and innocence. And adding about three more levels of adorableness.


Here's a bit of personality I thought up while finalizing his designs and expression.

- This is a small fella, shy as can be.... yet always helpful no matter how nervous. He (or she) always takes the time to greet newcomers and help them find their way... no matter how difficult it happens to be.

The rest of the time, he's usually closed up in his shell, watching through the cracks... keeping watch over all the others until he's needed.
