Hello hello hello! For some reason, no matter how many times over I do it, I can't seem to get the design right for a very important character in Garden of Hours; Keeps! So I figured I'd run a little design contest for him. You design the guy based off the prompt and I pick the one that fits him the most! The winner will get a painted portrait as seen here.

Keeps is particularly closed off at first but overtime he warms up and proves to be a pretty snarky and generally fun to be around. He's rather greedy and tends to flee as the first sign of danger. 

Design-wise Keeps is a black lemur! He is dfab so he will be orange/red. Keeps' got messy fur and a fluffy ponytail. Accessories are preferred- generally tropical and plant-y. I like the current body type and skrunkly-ness of current Keeps design but I'm especially not happy with the colors! 

The contest will close on February first!  February 15th  Thank you so much to everyone who joins <3
