Description
This is OC's design is a collaboration with thebadgerfoxdraws as the title suggests. While I did draw this entire thing myself, a major reference that I used for this design was a reference sheet that thebadgerfoxdraws drew, which is ironically based off of one that I drew. The original one is trash admittedly, but while I really love how this turned out, I am really not sure if my final design, as much effort as it took and as novel as the technique and style here is overall, is better than the reference sheet used for this one. In any case, the actual choice of design elements that went into this final design I would say is a fair balance between both of us.
For her biography and personality, she is quirky and socially awkward but still kind-hearted. She tries to make people happy all the time, and while she generally succeeds, she does put her foot in her mouth sometimes. In addition, while she may seem cheery and optimistic, she is actually pretty calm and not that energetic at all. She honestly tries to embrace and accentuate her quirky side by dressing as a clown, even when she isn't working. She also tend to be rather childish in demeanor and innocence, and enjoys playing with games and toys that people would typically think are fitting for young children. People generally tend to know her rather easily for this. They generally also know her for her bubbly and quirky personality, though she does sometimes admit that this is an act that she puts for herself and others to feel better. She can be a bit too deep and sometimes feels bad because of her own internal psyche, which varies often from matching her external personality to being a dark and sometimes nihilistic side that she has trouble dealing with and tries to suppress. Still, very few people know about this side because she is such an excellent actress and even makes a rather huge living with her job as a clown. In fact, she decided to become a clown mainly as an attempt to suppress this side of her.
I am still new to the new shading style that I decided for this image, so feedback is greatly appreciated. Also, I know that I can be inconsistent with how harsh or soft my critiques are, but I do not mind receiving harsh critiques if you feel like you have a lot to say. I welcome the feedback.

EDIT: I made the face's and hands'outline darker and more noticeable due to a recommendation from ZennQuill. Thank you, compadre!
