Description Aaaaaaaand this is my entry for this years contest tournament thing. (I did it pretty fast because I need time to prepare for finals later aaaaaaaaaa)
The theme was cultures and I got french.
The baguette holding, striped shirt and beret wearing, Eiffel tower honhonhon~ stereotypes are not really my way of expressing culture. 
I decided to do a rather historical theme.
I did a little bit of research (hell I even went to some museums) on fashion from the 18th century. And I decided to base my drawing off of the Rococo style. You know, the one with the giant crinoline dresses and powdered wigs. Yet I tried to avoid the common stereotype parts of it (hence the wigs).

Common traits for the fashion style are lighter/pastel colors and flower textures / patterns and that exactly what I based my drawing off of. Also common were golden extra thingies like the thing on the border of the chair. 
The fashion style got popular in most parts of western Europe at that time, but non the less it did originate from France (at least from what I read sorry if that's not true cries).
Also there's a creme brulee on the table :U I did use a stereotype sorry guys.

Anyway
I don't really like this style I'm rather a fan of Victorian fashion but at least I tried something new. 

Also it doesn't fit my character either, and still it fits this character the most out of all my ocs. (shit maybe one of them would also fit but whatever) shit just call it an AU and let it slip.

Also even tho that Dikata looks calm on the draw, she'd be dying because of the corset that is crushing her insides and the crinoline that doesn't let her sit normally. 

Anyway enjoy
and once again I'm sorry if I got something wrong gomen.

She' s an original species I created long time ago. I shall post more information about her kind sooner or later. I'm aware that she looks like a cat or a wolf or a bat thing, but she's neither of them. It's a pretty long story but I shall post more about that someday.

I think it looks fantastic ^^
Especially with the fact that you went more traditional from that century than to completely turn it into the common stereotype seen of French culture~
