Alright!! Just finished up this month's entry for Creature-Exchange for Syrcaid on DA!!

1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?
Simple with a lot of wiggle room! I wasn't completely sure what feel you wanted for the character on the lines of cuter or creepy, but hopefully this is okay!

2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?
I really wanted to work with an interesting bear-like creature as opposed to going full bear. I also thought there was irony in picking a sun bear, so I went with the hood and everything! I thought a sleepy looking design with covered eyes and a long sweeping tail would add to the droopy-rainy feeling. I put the lotus on the very back of their tail and decided to go with a blue lotus as well! Even though you said no bright colors, I really hope that the bright yellow raincoat is okay! I just couldn't resist it! As for abilities, I think it would be precious if they could Mary Poppins style fly with the umbrella!

It was a joy to make this design! I really hope that you like it as well!
