Description a redo of this horrible ref from last year
2nd art i'm proud of this year! 3rd is a collab that's still ongoing ahaha-- I'll share that here later on

I hope this looks good!
Yuu loves her pastel grey colours ^q^

Regarding colour; pleaaaseee dont make my OCs multicoloured like some My Little Pony character unless they're actually multicoloured!! It irritates me a lot-- a few OCs got butchered bcuz people never listen to me when I say, "hey, her hair's dark blue btw!! ^q^"-- *procEEds tO colOuR wiTh evERy coLOur in tHe raINboW* and in the end idk who that is anymore ;;;;
Idm if you're ok at choosing colour palettes properly and all that, but if you're not used to mix matching colours, then I suggest practicing on not-my-OC ahaha ;;;
Sry if this comes off as mean ;;;

+ Appearance +

Yuu is a petite short squid in a form of a human. She is pale with visible veins on both hands and feet, therefore she covers it up with her big sleeves and yellow rain boots because she doesn't really like to see it. 

Her hair is short and puffy while her eyebrows are thick and triangular. She has a child-like appearance which make others assume she is younger than her actual age.

She wears an oversized striped blue and white sweater with black shorts along with a black and white backpack so that her head drops in whenever she detaches it. She also uses the sternum strap of her bag.



+ Personality +

Introverted ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍| ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍Brash ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍| ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍Recluse ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍| ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍Forgetful ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍| ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍Cheap ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍| ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍Soft-hearted ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍

       A nasty squid who messes with others for enjoyment, detaching her head and sharpening her tentacles and swinging them around to scare people... is what she claims to be. Behind that cocky act online, she's just an introverted recluse... lying around somewhere indoors as she's scared to go outside.

       She loathes the fact others take her lightly due to the fact she's quite harmless when she's mad. She is quite brash at times as she tries to come off as a 'strong and cool' individual, but she has a soft spot for people she likes and cares for them deeply. She often thinks of herself as 'salty' despite others claiming she's not. She's probably going through a phase.

       Yuu worries a lot and tends to overthink trivial things/events, causing unnecessary stress and burden. She spits out a lot of morbid drawings whenever she gets overwhelmed, both positively and negatively, as she is unable to word sentences and sees everything in a way that it's stressful.

       Yuu also has trouble with her memory, forgetting most responsibilities/tasks yet remembering things she deems more important/interesting. If left for a long period of time, she can even forget her existence and those around her.

       It is quite clear how cheap she is, although not extreme, but still considerably cheap. Tenma noticed how she'd not do a certain activity often if it meant her supplies are running dry, and only buys more once she's brave enough. This also makes her extremely guilty whenever someone treats her to sometime, strongly rejecting the offer as she doesn't want others to waste their money too. She's quite non-materialistic in a sense... although she still enjoys staring at products from afar.

       Her excessive interest in drawings towers over everything else, claiming 2D is the ultimate form of beauty and perfection. She also has an extreme fear of butterflies, instantly breaking into tears, crying if one's nearby.

If you were ever to start a comic/recurring show thing, this'd definitely be the character to do it with.
Unique, interesting, and funny~.
Also, diggin' the bright colors on the left squid baby. Nothin' wrong with the squid child on the right tho. Those colors do flow and transition along her body a lot nicer, easier on the eyes. But, I'm a sucker for colors.

yuudann In reply to captain-pie [2018-05-04 11:36:29 +0000 UTC]

I do plan on something, I just haven't actually thought abt it in depth yet, considering I have another 70 OCs to attend to that i've been neglecting since 2014 lololol
Thanks!
That basic colour one's for those who aren't that good at colouring yet-- i get weird looking squid fanart with extreme hair colours and it kinda bothers me sometimes considering I dont rly like dyed hair xDD

captain-pie In reply to yuudann [2018-05-04 20:46:43 +0000 UTC]

Mmmm. I hope to see that idea one day~.
You do have some cool characters.

So you're more into the lighter, calmer colors huh? Neat.
Also, YOOO!!! I just read her likes. Spaghetti is 10/10.
Now I wanna draw squid with a hot plate of pasta.
