Design 1

Description:
Seeing as the theme this year was “The weather of Hokkaido”, I created a design based around the idea of “a painter capturing the blue skies and clear weather after snowfall”.
This design was inspired by the mysterious blue skies and snowfields that can be seen as you pass through the patchwork streets of Biei in Hokkaido.
Her hat is meant to represent the beautifully bright sky, featuring snowy clouds, the sun and a Circumzenithal arc.
The fluffy parts on her apron dress are meant to be a snow field, with the studs meant to show snow shining as the sunlight bounces off of it, and the tricolour skirt representing iridescent clouds.
The sparkles in her eyes are meant to represent the sun and snow fields.
Her hair was inspired by the colour of translucent winter skies, fluffy clouds and wings.The Miku and Yukine I designed can use the magic brush and canvas to change even the most erratic weather into that of clear, calm skies.
Thank you for taking a look at my design.
Other design notes:
-Her fluffy apron dress reflects the snow fields, while the skirt seen in the bottom left was inspired by iridescent clouds. -There are paint splotches on her apron dress.

-Yukine’s tail looks like it’s been dipped in paint, like a paintbrush.

Description:
When she uses her umbrella, she can fly up in the sky like Mary Poppins and do live weather reporting!
Yukine uses his balloons to fly up with her, acting as cameraman!

With this design, I imagined the breaking of dawn in Hokkaido.
