Themed MCA Entry

Description

EDIT: I fixed her eyes as to what I would really like to see them and I also fixed her horns to fit how I would like them as well. I hope you guys like the changes!

Well, here it is! I cranked it out really quickly as soon as I heard about the MCAdoptables contest. :nod:

So, this is my little pocket drandie named Daiyu. She is actually based off of an OC but, that's not a very good theme so, I shall go with the theme of 'Lotus'. :D

Here is some information on the adoptable herself and some details that should have been in the picture but are not due to my hand drawing it. ^^;

-The eyes are actually colored like opals. This picture is the reference I used for it so, if I did get this adoptable, this would be the picture I would go off of, not my fail attempt. XD [link]
-The skin is a golden copper and yes, it does show a metallic sheen.
-The dots on the skin are pure gold and they also have a bit of a sheen to them.
-The horns were tricky because I used colored pencils so, it didn't come out how I wanted it to. The horns are actually black opals to mirror the eyes and yet provide some contrast. [link] The big one in the middle was my main inspiration.

M'kay so, I probably better explain a little of how this fits the Lotus theme as well as my OC too since she is the creator of the theme itself. :nod:

First of all, the Lotus plays into Chinese mythology. The goddess known as Dha-Shi-Zhi turned the souls of the departed into Lotus flowers that would decorate the fountains of heaven as they passed through. So, how is that connected to Daiyu?

Story is that Daiyu was a well loved courtesan of the Royal Family, especially by the King. She was a wise and very benevolent woman who only wanted to make a difference and help her country. However, the queen was jealous of her and had her arrested for treason. She was thrown into prison and was left there to be beaten by the guards, starved, and eaten away at by the rats. Well, it just so happened that a goddess was watching the horror that took place and took pity on Daiyu and her plight. So, to make up for the queen's wicked deeds, the goddess gave Daiyu a new life in the heavens. She had Daiyu's body rebuilt with golden copper skin, opal eyes, black rainbow silk for her hair, and lotus tattoos cover her body to signify that she is a departed soul that was saved from a life of misfortune.

And that is my entry! I hope she does well in this contest! :pray:
