:DTA: Bienvenue a Paris

Transparent Version Found HERE!:

While there is a transparent version (which is done digitally), I originally had trouble editing out the background without losing parts of her. So I ended up cutting her out painstakingly to put her onto the notebook cover without showing any white spaces in the background. However, I still wanted to have a transparent version of her, so I tried again by taping her to a black background instead of white. Instead of losing her sleeves though, this time I lost a tiny part of her skirt design. So then I placed her on a yellow duotang and while I lost part of her ribbon on her hat, I finally got to make her have a transparent background. I then edited back her ribbon by copying and pasting the other side of the ribbon's colour that the part had lost had well...lost. So it was a lot of work but yayyy I did it in the end! xD

But yeah
ANYWAY...
This is my DTA entry for for [OPEN][DTA] Valentines Articularia!
I'll update the description as soon as I get the chance!

EDIT:

So this adoptable design immediately popped out to me among my DeviantART group notifications and I knew I wanted to at least try out for it.  I mean, from everything: her colours and multiple eyes to her hair and her outfit just SCREAM adorable!
She's such a cutie patootie omgggggg.

Also as a quick side-note, I am a traditional artist so it's a little difficult to replicate some digital colours/effects. I did my best to match the gradient of her dress with the actual design, though!

Anyway, here's the ideas I have for if I win this adopt!
First off, I want to name her something that starts with C... Such as Camilla (the flower), Coco, Choco, Candy, Cherry, Claire (Éclair?), Chloe, etc. I haven't decided but then again I haven't won her either so yeah. I'll decide later. And if I do win her, you guys can probably help me decide a name.

I see her as the fun girl type; the kind that likes to travel and socialize, flitting from one group to the next. She'd totally be a leader who decides what (and who!) is in and out. While she might easily make enemies, she is incredibly loyal to her friends and does her best to help them. She'd have lots of friends, probably get lots of dates, and likes to make pastries/food or candy/chocolate. She'd also be creative, but give off a cool vibe. She likes being able to laugh and smile and grin, as well as tease others. She doesn't like being taken advantage of or being tricked, however. She does have a temper, although it isn't a fiery, all-out temper (unless pushed far enough). It'd be more of a chilly anger. Oh, and she'd creative: making art or designing outfits. I don't know why; I just get that vibe from her. 
Maybe it's her hat and her amazing fashion choice? Well, I don't know. But I do know I just see her as cool but fun with a love for baking and creating. xD

As for backstory, she's currently residing in Paris, working at a bakery while also doing lots of partying with friends. She is known as a socialite, and her dreams are big. She wants to travel as a world-renowned fashion designer (and model?), or open her own bakery. While she often plays the rebel and maybe goes against her boss sometimes (like disagreeing about what to do when making pastries), they're still pretty close (and besides, she's too good of a baker to just fire!). She is also looking to find a good boyfriend (or girlfriend!) and will go on many dates. She might not seem like the type to dream about romance, but she is actually a hopeless romantic, a total geek (she loves romance dramas/books), and loves playing matchmaker. She can get a little crazy if you break her heart, but she's not insane/a stalker-type. Her hobbies include baking, geeking out, socializing, and shopping. When she gets upset, she tends to binge-eat. Her favourite thing to eat is chocolate-flavoured anything, but especially normal chocolates. It's the fastest way to earn her heart and get her to go on a date with you or just regularly hang out with you! She expects to be treated right and is kinda spoiled but overall she's a good person with a great sense of humour (although she dislikes bad puns). She likes it when things and events and places and people are classy but fun, as well as relaxed but smart. She dislikes dealing with mainstream people (although she is pretty mainstream herself). She's quite clever but not exactly the A+ book-smart type, as she'd rather be hanging out in Paris' best malls rather than cooped up with a textbook (although she does like to read). She likes travelling, sightseeing, sketching/drawing, and photography. She lives off of coffee. 
Basically, she's a complex cycle of being on two sides of one thing (eg angry but calm, popular but geeky, fun but classy, flirty but reserved). 

Well that was long and oddly detailed. Ah well. If I don't win her I might as well reuse this and put it to some use. xD
Oh and if I do win her, I think I'll totally make her another one of my multi-purpose OC's where they can be squished into other fandoms as well as be their own thing! For her I'm thinking of the Monster High fandom.

End EDIT!

Sorry if the image kinda assaults your eyes haha. I wanted to use a notebook of mine as a background, and this particular one I've been waiting to use so this adopt was the perfect chance. Despite that, the image IS kinda cluttered, which is why I included the transparent version!
Anyway, please enjoy the drawing!
