Description

Clap My (probably) first entry for a contest that my friend :iconstarryheavendragon: 's doing to celebrate her 1000 watchers! Clap 

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).

Here, Toad represents Valentines' Day, with his Cupid costume made by Starry herself, Hutch represents Easter, with his colorful sweet costume that he weared in a drawing of 2023's Easter along Mindy, and Poison Mushroom represents Carnival/April Fools, wearing a redesigned version of their "Funky Rainbows" costume but with a festive twist to it (and if you wonder why they wears femenine costume 1: they're non-binary, he can wear whatever they want, and 2: They would'nt really care to wear a dress tbh). They're the Bringers of Spring, and all of 'em are ready to bring the spring-time and stop the winter from consuming our nature's cycle! Star! 

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).
