I was looking at all the entries and slowly I realized my certain demise..
Progression of my thoughts:

But hey I might as well enter and look like a fool cuz that's what I do best ^^

So this was pretty much a create-an-OC sort of thing and there were certain rules to this. At first when I saw them I thought my character was gonna be a messy patchwork of things and wasn't gonna enter, but today I was thinking about it and I realized due to my everyday color choices I could make the coolest ass thug this world has ever seen. Jk. Look at him. Hahaha. Funny joke Maddy.
My shirt today is silver and white, so I made the hair mainly white with silver for the shading. I really like the way it turned out and yes I lightly referenced the bangs to zens hair. All I did tho was check a photo while I made a rough sketch, the rest was by myself.
My phone case I think is the phone case version of a leather jacket lol. It's thick and black and it had small bits of silver on it. Immediately I was hyped by this, and had to do it.
Now I realized only after I had colored the eyes red that they had to be my underwear color. Let's just call the eyes a really really dark pink. If this doesn't qualify and it's cheating or smth then I get it. If I can't participate bc of it it's fine ^^
I live in America which pleased me so so so much because I got to give my thug dude a cool earring!! And this entire time my guy didn't look like a patchwork of stupidity!!! ^^
Finally the favorite emoji. This took a whole lot more thinking then I expected bc I have no favorite so I was just aiming for a fitting emoji, but didn't want to cheat it in any way. I checked my recents and went down all of the emojis to no avail. None seemed quite right for the idea of a thug. And then
bAM
IT HIT ME.
The heart emoji may not seem like a cool emoji but I've seen it altered in so many ways on printed tees with vines or chains or.... blood.
Truthfully I do love the heart emoji as well so it worked out really well!!

That's about it!!
