Hey there, I've been rolling this idea around for a while and I want to main it now. Now, I just need help fine tuning it. The items and their order are listed on my profile.
Deku scrubs are a race of squat-figured plants from some Legend of Zelda games. Their most distinct features are their oversize heads with glowing golden eyes ad peculiar tubular snouts. Their skin is bark-covered and they always have leaves, flowers or other plants on their head. Many of them wear no clothes, and those that do wear natural-looking garments that appear to be grown from their bodies. They're mostly found in swamps and forests.
With that in mind, I had to use the Melancholy Aeanoid Mask to begin, since it's the only wearable that gives the distinctive face I need. To give the skin a wooden texture, I used a Cursed Gingerbread Cookie paired with a Coal Mole for further darkening. I layered two items to create the leafy hairstyle (for the Bonsai Leaves alone are pretty boring looking). For clothing, I used two leaf garments, but the top leaves me with a huge uncovered gap on the upper body. To close it off I added a Delicate Artifact Necklace in hopes of it looking like an ornamental growth.
The backdrop and accessories are made in mind with the swampy/forest habitat. The fireflies, firefly jar, and fairy showcase the environment, and the Field Light Bulb casts a green light over the scene.
How can this avatar be improved? I can't squish the figure to have more accurate proportions to its inspiration. I'm not sure on the necklace, but I'm stumped on what would work better.
