Contest Entry: We are The Bringers of Spring!

Basically, you have to draw one of her custom designs for some canon characters with creativity and all, and since I LOVE making outfits and costumes for existent characters, I decided to give it a try.
Here, I used her design of Toad as Eros/Cupid (I choosed it because Toad's my favorite Super Mario character since childhood, he was my main in both Mario Kart DS and Mario Party DS), and since I wanted to find inspiration, I remember that I always like to put him in a friend group with Hutch (from Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit) and Poison Mushroom Cookie (from Cookie Run: Kingdom), and since i've also drawed costumes for those 2, I tought it would be a cool idea to make them represent spring-time in a very PJ Mask/Magical Boy-esque style! (Yes, I know we aren't in spring yet, but I really wanted to make a reference to it these days (and I AM THE ARTIST, I can draw whatever my heart wants).

I know the idea sounds crazy, but I love the creativity and pastels that I putted to this tbh...! (and because I have an excuse to draw a design made by my friend xd ). I wanted that the primary colors here were both pink and blue to represent the duality of spring; putting some cherry blossoms petals around, a magical-esque floor, and fancy letters to give that magical-yet lovely feeling of that colorful season. I think i've used inspiration from Sailor Moon, some Sanrio illustrations, and the Pastelcore and Mauho Shojo aesthetics to give it a more lovey touch to the vibes in it (and yes, I know they're males... Well, 2 males, 1 NB, but there are also Magical Boy animes, so it has sense in really... And because the idea sounds fun).
