(OC by @masa500.bsky.social)

This is my first Art Fight attack!! The last one this year as well, since i don't have any more time for obvious reasons. XD

Concretely, i drew this OC of my friend Masa! He's a fellow user in the Parlor server and her OC Bahía is one of the most iconic of all. :) It was a bit scary to start, since I wasn't sure i was going to be up to scratch, but I had to try it!

Bahía loves sunflowers. My initial idea was for her to be smelling a sunflower in this drawing! Well, through some thorough research, I found out that sunflowers don't have any scent... So a friend gave me the idea for her to be smelling a fruit! Well, apparently Bahía also has narcolepsy, and narcolepsy patients are advised against eating most fruit. 💀 So I ended up finding a list of low-carb fruits, and I agreed with a couple of friends that avocado was the 'happiest' fruit of them all. I really hope Bahía likes avocados. XD

In the beginning, i think i was trying to make a more caricaturesque drawing (?) I don't know if that's the appropriate word, but you know, adding outlines and having simple and non-realistic shading. Well, for some reason I ended up leaning a bit more towards realism. When i deviate from that, i feel like i'm doing things wrong and get a bit self-conscious I guess.
