Chocolate Banana Pocky ~ Nana-chan [Pocky Day 2018]

The last of the Pocky-tans. Representing Chocolate Banana, the cheery Nana-Chan!

Self Critique: I probably should've given her the geta that doesn't have the two prongs. Not much else I can think of at the moment.

Nana-chan was added into this set at the last minute. For the entire year, I was set on having just four. In my stealth poll on Twitter, Nana chan got the boot. However, I realized that having only four was gonna be kinda weird, especially since four is something of a bad luck number in Japan since one of the pronunciations for it sounds like “death”. So I added Nana-chan back in around September. I wanted her to have a short kimono, much like Ichigo, but I wanted to have her sleeves slightly shaped like a banana, hence the pose I chose for her.

The pattern of her kimono was gonna have a whole tree this time for the banana, with brown swirls to represent the chocolate. The placement of the tree was a little tough since it was kinda detailed when I made it. So I settled on keeping it to the bottom of the the sleeves and bottom hem of the kimono. I was wondering for a while what was missing on her before I got to work on her. That's when I gave her glasses. I also decided on a twintail hairstyle for her since, well, half of what she represents is a banana!

And that's it for all of the Pocky-tans! But it's not over yet! I got something special planned with these five, so stay tuned! For now, thank you for viewing and joining me in this Pocky-themed adventure in kimono design!
