She is older than I imagined her (which I love!) and GORGEOUS! Thanks for getting her done!

I thought she be younger and smaller from that sketch but I love the details in her clothing!
Not what I was expecting but she's amazing and lovely. ^__^ Nice to see that shop finally has an NPC. Hope we can learn more about her and see her interact with other NPCs in the future.
I loove her beautiful art and I'm glad they aged her up. I liked that the creative team took 's winning design and (IMO) made ti even better. :) She looks great!
My only real complaint is her expression. She looks a bit... angry? Annoyed? In the bio it says she loves her job and teaches kids crafts classes but I think she comes off as a touch too harsh. (Or is it just 'no nonsense'? IDK.) In her icon she looks friendlier, and I like that. Also as a side note, some finger ring splints would be a great add-on. A lot of zebras (people with EDS) have hand problems and the splints can be both fashionable and functional. Like maybe on her index finger and thumb. Like this and this . I mean she's doing a LOT of sewing, so that would probably help. Great job on the marfan-y look too :D

Thank you anon ;_; x10 March 4/21/21 (RIP Storm-buddy the leopard gecko- you lived a great 16.5 years.)
I love the art! It's so full of personality! I really appreciate that built on the initial character design so she really feels like she fits in with the rest of the site.
I think her expression is fine. The heavy eyebrows might make her look a little stern at first, but her face is just on the pleasant side of neutral.
I don't find her expression bad either, I've known some very nice and pleasant people who just happen to have angry/upset looking resting faces. But I agree her expression looks more neutral to me than annoyed or anything else.
I really like her outfit and the detail in her clothes, it's super pretty!
I don't think she looks mad or annoyed, yes her eyebrows are slightly pointed down but she's also smiling. I think she looks fierce and determined, or proud about her arrival and position as the beanbag keeper. Maybe that's not what they were going for, but it's what I got from it.
I love the way she turned out. Her clothes are also really pretty. And that beanbag. /swoon
Is the Wizard jealous someone else has Luna even if in beanbag form? :0 ooh the drama, dun dun dun
I wasn't a fan of the original sketch but I LOVE what the Subeta team did with her design! Aging her up was a smart choice, since it definitely makes her feel more independent and fits with the idea of her owning her own shop. Her clothing is amazing and her hair is awesome too. Happy all around to see more of Shanti in the future.
As far as her expression, she doesn't look angry at all, imo. Just sassy and determined ;)
SELL ME FOOD PLS? 🡺 CLICK HERE 🡸My only "aw bummer" moment was seeing her hair, which is BEAUTIFUL can we have a wig item like that pls, but the original sketch made it seem like she had very curly hair, and this is really wavy. Just bummed this wasn't the representation I was hoping for based on the original sketch.
I'm pretty glad of her being a bit older too, if only because I thought a young NPC would be less interesting. Just a personal preference. Overall she's fantastic, the artists did a great job on her art and the new beanbags. It will be cool to see how her personality develops as time goes on and she's fingers crossed involved in site events in the future. :D I wonder what she's like.
Her hair highlights and jewelry are just lovely <3
i get why people think she looks older than the entry drawing but the contest guidelines specified that all characters were to be 18+ so she didn't really get aged up so much as her actual age is more apparent in the official art than in her entry art, which was done in a more chibi / cartoony style. the official art definitely looks like she could still be 18-ish. i think another factor throwing people off is that she's got kind of long and thin features, which is a characteristic common among people with EDS and other conditions affecting the body's connective tissue.
anyway i think she looks great and i love her and i love that she's a Big Nerd and i love her big eyebrows!
i love her?? SO MUCH? like okay, the original sketch was adorable and now somehow she's cuter and has cool patterned clothes? she's perfect, A+, 10/10.

Shanti looks amazing! Whoever drew the final design did a wonderful job. I like how fierce she looks, like a powerful witch of some sorts (her hair reminds me of Hermione's).
She looks great! Love the design and how it turned out :D
I love her design, I think her face shape is really great too! She seems so real!
