Description *soft clinks of glass can be heard*
She's a lady in love, and she's ready to try her best! Here comes the really fluffy glassmaker, Mica! ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡

Mica is a common inkdrian sporting skeleton flowers~ While she's spent most of her life gradientless, she gained her first color of light pink after meeting a very kind and lovely knight by the name of Artemis 8D You've heard of tales about people being so gay that they fall in love easily, but Mica's proof that those people exist, because all it took was Artemis complimenting her on her glass art sculptures and calling her amazing for Mica's Disaster Lesbian status to kick in 8D But it's natural to be hopelessly smitten with someone like Artemis right?? Not only is the girl beautiful, but she's so noble and helpful and-- if you hear a heartsick sigh, that's Mica and she needs help 8)

But in all sincerity, it was... really nice. To be called amazing uwu Because Mica's always seen her as average. Not necessarily like, the bottom of the barrel, but her own dad never brags about her to his sisters. And with her cousin Silica being the literal queen of her kingdom and being amazingly talented and intelligent and smart, Mica never saw herself above "okay". (She's totally wrong about how people perceive her though-- her dad adores her and has just had too many years being in an eternal competition of his sisters and being compared to them that he didn't want to put her through it, and Silica adores Mica). So for someone to validate her--someone she perceived as amazing and incredible and admirable from the get-go--and for them to tell her that she's amazing??

It's... it's pretty something.
It's life changing and Mica gets pink for it 8D

So yeah, Mica falls in love, and the deeper she falls in love with Arty, the brighter her pink gets uwu She also gets bright gold and orange later on, probably due to travelling with Arty to places? But it's representative of how she eventually gains the courage to believe in herself and expand her horizons and yeah uwu She and Arty are gonna be super gay and super in love and she's aiming to be Most Supportive Girlfriend 8D

Also noteworthy! Mica's design is based off of mica glass! Mica glass is really interesting because, in normal light, it looks plain and kinda average, and plus it feels fragile and is easy to crack, like so~

But when it's put under polarized light, it looks like this owo

sta.sh/02lvpxzaii8

So Mica's gradient markings are a homage to the cracks in the mica glass I played with in my physics lab, and her colorless to super colorful look and her personality of seeing herself as "plain" when lots of people see her as something fancy is inspired specifically by a simple physics lab experiment uwu It was my favorite lab 8D Because it was easy 8D Because I normally hate doing physics but at least it gave me Mica 8D

Shout out to Remmis-AppleMaster for letting me design a girlfriend for Arty! QAAAAQ Because I. Fcking adore Arty. ;vvv; And I was like "I want to marry her Rem" and she was like "why don't you just make her someone she can marry" and I was like "!!!!!!!!!!!!" but seriously still highkey honored you'd let me in on Arty's relationships I die Rem qvq But also shout out to her for compiling my multiple reference images of Mica bc I am #limited on my art programs and I didn't know how to put all these pics on one canvas XD which is why there are many Remmy notes 8D I'm not getting rid of them bc they are great and I adore 8D

THANK YOU KATE QVQ
I'm glad that you caught the gay that the gay is spreading that you love her!!! I worked suuuuuper duper hard with trying to find a design I liked for her qvq Her hair took. So many trials. Like, I never worked so hard on designing hair for an ink before but I'm glad I finally found something that worked qvq And then her outfit was just. Hell. XD Because I literally spent months on her hair and then I was like, FRICK, WAIT, NOW I GOTTA DO C L O T H E S RIP. So I stole inspiration from Katara in ATLA but whatever *eyes emoji + sweat* BUT I'M MOST GLAD THAT YOU LIKE HER GLASSES!!! Because girls with glasses is v important to me bc as a girl with glasses and a girl who's been told time and time again by people to her face or by society through commentary about girls in media that girls without glasses are prettier than girls with glasses-- I WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A CUTE GIRL WITH GLASSES //FIRE EMOJIS

but asdlkfjgasoiagsd I don't know if they're godly but I worked really hard to make her so I'm really glad Kate thank you qvvvq

You're so welcome holy heck!!

To be fair it started with Leucine because holy heck sweaters and long skirts are one of my fave combos d a m n
I fucking l o v e the thought and effort that was put into all your designs!! Hecking clothes are chaos so i usually search far and wide for outfit adopts oops-
God like, glasses have been my biggest weakness since i was small and it was so confusing at why is books and tv and other media the characters with glasses were always just side characters like, girls with glasses are one of the cutest combinations ever!
!!!!!!!!! we need more girls with glasses and I have a new burning passion!!!

They are godly!!! If you ever made adopts i'll be all over em in a heartbeat (if i can afford em, that is!)

omg me too Kate
Like, Leu's outfit is legit one of the outfits I own bc sweater + long skirt is my # aesthetic

Clothes are super chaotic!!!! They're rough to design and I'm like. I'm just trying my best a h 8'D

AND RIGHT????? GLASSES ARE SO GOOD I NEED MORE CHARACTERS WITH GLASSES!!!

...and lucky for you I plan to make adopts >> I may have outlined ideas in the works bu shh <<

!!!! Good because Leu's outfit is too good, so it must exist
Theo's main outfit was stolen off a pair of pants i had when I was 10 and a shirt from the sims3 lel

They are!! guy's clothes are a huge hassle for me, that's why most of mine are either shirtless or pantless ooops

WE DO!! GLASSES MAKE EVERYTHING CUTER, I CAN AND WILL CONFIRM I AM AN UNOFFICIAL EXPERT!

!!!!!!!! O h b o y time to save up points/cash and not hecking spend it
Time for the h y p e

honestly the red skirt is highkey one of my most favorite things to wear, so I'm v glad I could give it to Leu cx
Oh man! No worries XD Mana, one of my earliest mobians, is rocking an outfit from Rockband 3 because I could not figure out an outfit for the life of me 8D

And if that ain't relatable 8'D Most boys are just tough to draw period 8')

THIS CONVERSATION IS INSPIRING ME TO DRAW HER COUSIN SILICA WITH GLASSES I HAVE TO TRY IT!!! AND I'M NOT AN EXPERT BUT I AM A BIOLOGIST NOW SO I'LL THROW MY USELESS TWO CENTS OF CONFIRMATION

Don't worry I don't think it'll be super expensive and the points will be going to the group and not me so uwu Plus you have time, since I don't see myself cranking them out until July XD

Yeye, outfits are hard but when you find a nice combo it feels great

and true, true. I have no idea how to draw buff characters and I still need to improve on chubby characters too

GOOD!! YOU SHOULD DO IT! AND H E C K YEAH, IF A BIOLOGIST SAYS ITS TRUE THEN ITS T R U E

And heck yey, because I already spent the ones I bought woops. You planning on making art an payment option?

It’s true! It’s satisfying

That’s a mood!!! I’m getting better at drawing thiccc c c c c c gals but I must go deeper *fire emoji*

I’m keeping this idea in mind *eyes emoji*

I’m deliberating on that, bc the payments are supposed to help the nebula and not me, but I might consider art if it means I can sic people on other members >8D
