Been practicing my chibi style. Trying out a few things.

This is Boba, the anthro-fursonification (totally made up that word, but you get the idea) of my favorite dessert drink boba milk tea; also known as bubble tea here in America. I thought her up a few days ago while I was enjoying some boba milk tea on the go.

Boba is the female half of a set of Chinese Guardian Lions (or Foo Dogs) that watch over a local cake shop. She's got bright maraschino cherry eyes and an oreo cookie nose. Boba's mane and tail are made of whipped cream and have chocolate powder sprinkled on top. Little black tapioca pearls hug her calves and ankles like legwarmers and tend to get in her way while walking, making her clumsy. The straw in her whipped cream hair is real, you could drink her if you wanted, but please don't! Boba likes being alive~! D:

Boba is friendly and gullible, not to mention lacking social graces, but she really enjoys watching over the local cake shop. She puts her all into making sure it stays safe.

I plan to make the male of this set real soon~ <3
