This is my entry for ’s kenomiokashii contest! Although it did not place as a winner, I am very glad I have entered. It was a lot of fun!
fav.me/d7nebfb <——- Please check out the other entries! They’re amazing!
The contest was for her art project by the way, which may be printed into an art book that I plan on buying if it's put up for sale in the future~
My character goes by the name, Océane, and she is a hamster kenomimi that represents the dessert, Madeleine! As soon as I came up with this character I knew I wished to shape her around the glorious goddess, Venus and the beautiful paintings of her. I used some of the paintings as references on how to design and compose the thumbnails until finally choosing how to draw the final draft.
I connected Madeleines with the ocean since the dessert reminds me of a seashell and I chose Océane to be a hamster since hamsters are fluffy, brown, and I can imagine them eating a small Madeleine as a sunflower seed or a nut, especially since almonds are one of the ingredients. (I blame Hamtaro.)
I’m going to keep Océane since I don’t own many calm and mellow characters like her.
