A marker & ink pen drawing of a Sanrio character and my original character (Mana Kaiuwaihui); behind them are two color triangles and some decorations. They are dressed like each other. Left: Pochacco the black & white dog flashing a peace sign wearing an Aloha shirt. Right: Mana flashing a peace sign wearing a dark green hoodie with an ice cream sundae on it. He is a youthful looking red haired boy with pale green eyes, pale skin, and a chubby body. Triangles: Big yellow pineapple patterned & small aqua blue. Deco: two chubby bananas. Connection: They are both characterized as being chubby, cute, clumsy, and lovers of banana ice cream.
A marker & ink pen drawing of a Sanrio character and my original character (Nakaei Hiromi); behind them are two color triangles and some decorations. Left: Menta-kun the blue flapjack octopus in his classic pose with a sea green bowtie. Right: Hiromi doing a cheering pose in a purple pinstripe idol dress; the bow on her chest was worn by Menta-kun for a previous popularity poll. Hiromi is a skinny girl with brown skin, darker warm brown hair in a style that makes it look like a bow, and lime green eyes. Triangles: Big dark sea blue with light blue bubbles/coral & small bright pink. Deco: idol penlights (blue for Menta-kun, pink for Hiromi) Connection: Menta-kun was described as "the self declared idol of the deep sea" and I IMMEDIATELY thought of Hiromi, tropical sea loving idol. They're both also a little zany and love their weird shape (ufo body & bow shaped hairstyle).
A marker & ink pen drawing of a Sanrio character and my original character (Tamemi Kanna); behind them are two color triangles and some decorations. They are dressed like each other. Left: Kanna linking arms with Emmy while dressed in one of Emmy's signature 1930s dress (blue with a shawl-like collar and velvety red bow). Kanna is a petite girl with gray brown hair in her signature short French braids, black-brown eyes, and light skin. Right: Emmy from the Vaudeville duo dressed in Kanna's red top & gray pinstripe overalls; she still has her own white collar & short gloves. Emmy is a human with short, wavy brown hair. Triangles: Big sepia brown with faint polka dots & small candy red. Deco: buttered popcorn & kernels. Connection: Emmy is described as a classy little lady on her English profile but "sassy" on her Japanese profile, which is very Kanna-core (lady-like in public but cheeky if you look deeper). They both love musical theatre and want a future in it (and have a connection to it through their parents!).
