Description So, this is my entry for group's Midnight Summer Ball contest!
I have this idea that the celebration takes place on the summer solstice, so even though it's approaching midnight for Jack and Tooth the sky still has some lingering sunset colors in it. Also, I imagine that those trees in the background did have leaves on them, but it's a rather special tree. You see, it's leaves are green the whole year round, but if people touch them on the solstice, the leaves tun into magical glowing lanterns that then become fireworks on the stroke of midnight that night. Thus, as I imagine all the Guardians are attending the ball, there are floating lanterns there representing each of them.
Of course, on an occasion such as this it would be simply criminal not to ask one's lovely date if she would care to dance, yes?

(Originally I was just going to draw Tooth all decked out, but then I read that shipping was encouraged and, well, how could I ignore the opportunity to make some Rainbow Snowcone art? Also, my headcanon dictates that Jack and Tooth are both wonderful dancers)

I also like your headcanon about Tooth and Jack being great dancers. That's a fun and sweet idea!

I LOVE the colors in this as per usual. The colors in the background are vivid and lovely. The orange pairs well with the hue of pink in Tooth's wing. It's clear that you were strategic with the color scheme and how you placed them if that makes sense.

Jack and Tooth look adorable and sweet! I ADORE the idea of the leaves on the magical tree turning into lanterns that represent the Guardians. Your ideas are amazingly creative! I also really love the little jewels or tassels hanging off of Tooth's sash (is that what it is?). They're very delicate and pretty.

Wonderful job!

Aww, thanks~ Color theory dictates that sunset colors just really work well with these two, apparently

Asdfghjkl I'm so happy you think they look adorable and that you like the light/lantern ideaTo be honest, Tangled inspired the lantern idea
I like the tassels as well~ All the Guardians have their own signature shape and color (Bunny - purple triangle, Sandy - gold/yellow circle, North - red square, Tooth - green diamond, Jack - blue hexagon), so for Tooth I always try and work diamond patterns or decorations into any clothing I draw her inI think that's called a sash? Maybe it has a more official name? I was influenced by Indian women's clothing, and those sashes (saris? idk?) seem to be a staple part of most ensembles. I hope I don't sound too woefully ignorant, but I am
