Here are my entries for the #SUMMERSPLASHDOWN2025 contest :o] (character belongs to @/fourleafisland)

I figured a lot of people would go for a more clear sailor look, so i wanted to come in with something a bit different. design explanations under the cut!

The first design was inspired by pirates. I always associate the red and white stripes on a scarf to shipmates, so I decided to give critter a hint of that too! The capelet (which i forgot to draw on the back of the design, whoops), is supposed to resemble ocean waves. The sea foam at the bottom of the capelet has a subtle clover pattern on it to return to the general clover theme! Tying the 2 sections of the design together is a golden ship and anchor clip that are tied together by a little chain. I figured a pirate theme wouldn't be complete without wood from ships, and originally wanted to go for a driftwood look for the tail cuffs (unfortunately, i felt it didn't suit the palette...). Instead I took inspiration of wooden tables that use resin to tie 2 pieces of wood together, since these also give a water vibe.

For design 2 I took inspiration of what sailors actually set out to do, catching fish! Critter wears a tiny knitted shawl/scarf, which rests underneath a collar that exists out of vintage Japanese glass floats, which were these glass orbs woven into fishing nets to keep them afloat.

Sticking with the theme of fishing ropes, I decided to let the rope of the collar to tie back to a bigger rope in the back, which has been woven and tied into a cute bow! Critter has Kelp around their tails, which fishing nets sometimes get caught up in. Then the Cuffs are also made from the same material as the glass of the floats! It is a very thick glass, so when the light shines through it, it comes out looking green on the other end of it. This little light i also decided to stylise into a 4 leaf clover. Lastly, the fish on Critter's head is the chat mascot of 4leaf's chat. it wears a little captain cap and proudly takes its spot on top of Critters head!

That's it! Hope you like looking at the designs I came up with :oD If you're still reading this, you're a champ!

seaside collector critter

you're walking upon shore… there's something sparkling in the distance so you walk closer. right as you're about to inspect what it is you see a critter! it snatches the item and takes off. seems like its collecting various sort of trash washed upon the shore or thrown away by people
