Plasma’s Custom Mock-Up Contest
Hello, and welcome to a mock-up contest hosted by myself! I’m looking for a little help in designing a custom for a character I have, and so I look to you, contestants, to help me! Please be sure to read through this post! I’m super excited to see what everyone comes up with and I can’t wait to make my future custom! Rules
1. Please be kind and courteous to everyone! Parameters
Upright Ineki - any species allowed The character’s name is Poppy Fields. Poppy is a conservator who works with museums and other clientele to restore, refurbish, or repair old artwork and other vintage furniture pieces. Her main love is restoring paintings to their former glory. She has an affinity for all things vintage, classical music, dated dances such as the waltz, and, of course, artwork. Her hobbies include tending to hundreds of plants overtaking her apartment and tending to her white hairball, Monet, who she rescued after he had been declawed and thrown to the streets. When she isn’t doing either of those things she is probably listening to music and painting. Poppy has blonde hair normally tied back in a very messy bun with strands dangling down in her face and steely blue eyes! Her cat, Monet, is a white hairball (literally think a giant white ball of fur) with blue eyes. Her partner in crime will be Kit! I would love if her coat was a representation of her interested—such as the vintage painterly feel. And of course poppies are more than welcome in any capacity in the design! Prizes

doragon Thank you for letting me know! They’re just dividers so I’ll remove them for now! They show for me, not sure why they aren’t showing for you. ;O;

Pirran Thank you for the question! I didn’t realize I left that information out! Ineki and upright; the actual species (cat/dog/fox) can be up to your choice!

Plasma But I also have a question first! I was wondering what Poppy’s personality is like. Is she the serious sort? Confidant? I wondering around those lines. Edit: 2nd one done! Tried for a more painting like feel. Edit: Dec 31 - One last edit where I was thinking of her coloration as a restoration of a painting of poppies/field of flowers.

I’m actually working on something I planned to throw in here, just hadn’t had time to focus on adding more than a hair edit and a floof ball to it yet so it’s been sitting around for a couple weeks oop :3c (Also awesome to see entries here, I know last I checked there weren’t any yet O: !)

Thank you everyone for the entries so far! :D nobodies13 Poppy is mostly serious and work devoted, but she smiles and laughs easily. She’s definitely stubborn, but she’s also thoughtful and thorough and kind. She doesn’t like to see people struggling and is very charitable. She is professional and confident in her skills and when dealing with art or her business partners, but she can be kind of silly elsewhere!

Okay I didn’t want to overdue any edits so I didn’t add more than just hair/pet/paint easel: Was aiming for her coat to be like a poppy field painting, with the original idea having it be a partially restored one. So the top half has most of the grime removed, but the bottom doesn’t. I also provided another version without the grime/rustic color overlay in case it takes too much away from it. I’m not the best with painterly time feels so o3o; I really when with “this cat is just a ball of fur” than “it’s actually a cat under there” too ahaha XD; V1 V2

Don’t mind me just sliding on in here with a late entry… I went for a Van Gogh approach. Poppies and Daisies, mainly. The flower in her hair is an iris and the flower in the cat’s hair is a poppy.
