pinto

pinto
he/they | teenager | circus assistant & mouse

pinto was adopted by the circus ringmaster when he was just a little baby. he's eager to repay the ringmaster for all their kindness, so he helps out at the circus where he can... but he's too small for most tasks, and he has horrible stage fright to boot! in the end, he gets along best with the clown troupe, who not only think his fumbling and clumsy nature is endearing, it also fits right in with their act. pinto is a fantastic make-up artist, but being a hopeless romantic who crushes on everyone, they're usually too flustered to paint anyone but the clowns.

original design, and concept, by tap1oca-pudd1ng on Art Fight for AF 2021.

design notes:

• pinto is tiny, and fits right into your hand!
  
• their body is white, with pastel purple cheeks. they have yellow or golden eyes, in the same color as their bells. their nose, and the inside of their mouth, is a deeper purple.
  
• they always wear the checkered scarf they got from the ringmaster, but they can be drawn in other outfits otherwise! they like big fluffy clown outfits and dresses, and sometimes wear clown facepaint.
