The contest is almost up! Just three days left; there is still one more design I really want to get entered before everything is done. Hopefully I can get it done before Wednesday!

Meanwhile, this girl has been living 'rent free' in my head almost since I joined the Shiji-Long discord! Around the time I joined there was a contest to design an NPC; I designed this girl as-is, to be a vegetable seller! However, I had misread the contest and we were supposed to be designing very specific categories, not whatever we wanted. I've kept her design around since then, because I knew I really wanted to see her come to live eventually. Hopefully she will win and get her chance to become a real shiji! <3 Also, I just want to say I LOVE her outfit. I think it's a great combination of realism and fantasy. If she were actively farming, she'd be a bit dirtier with gloves and an apron... But here she is just taking her vegetables to the market so she is looking quite clean. :)
