Ah, this is one of my favorite
drawings, specifically because of it's theme.
If you read my profile, you'll know that
I'm a huge fan of Goldfish crackers from Pepperidge Farms, and
this is how I show my fandom.
I was reading up on all of the mascots that
the Japanese had made for certain things, like the OS-Tan girls
and I was inspired to do this for the Goldfish crackers, and I
think it captures the feel pretty well. The name on the drawing
is Goldfish-chan, which I though was a bit long, but I couldn't
think of a good alternative. I was considering Pep-chan, but that
sounds like a Pepsi mascot. If anyone has any good ideas, please
let me know.
Actually, this drawing is a Xynthica Evolution,
basically a persona switch with a new theme, personality and name
that Xyni does when she utilizes a Source Seed. In this case,
the divine "Pepperidge Farms" seed. That's why they
look the same with the round eyes, similar hair style and slender
build.
As you might know, Xyni collects hair ornaments
of all sorts, it's her hobby, so I originally decided in this
drawing to put huge Goldfish crackers in her hair. She does it
a couple of times in the Manga I'm working on now. They are edible
by the way.
This drawing started to look pretty good,
so I decided to go all out with the theme in this drawing and
give her the complete Goldfish cracker works, and shorten her
hair to give her a more youthful, active look, like Xynthica has
in the manga.
At the time, I don't know if I'll ever use
the full Xynthica Evolution of Goldfish-chan in my official works,
not being entirely my original idea and all, but it's a good idea
to keep around. For the time being, Xyni will at least wear the
enormous Goldfish crackers time to time.
