The design was inspired by this color palette and *NSYNC's song "No Strings Attached." The idea behind this boa is that he ties a piece of twine or string around his pinkie toe on his front paw for every loved one he has loved in his life. There are some for his parents, some for past lovers, some for current lovers, and some for the dearly-departed in his life.
Now that I've finished the design, it reminds me a bit of those Skittles commercials where there's a rain-cloud pouring out Skittles, but sort of upside down, as the darker parts of his design are on his legs and the more colorful parts are on the tip of his tail, ears, and face.
In any case, I'm very pleased with his design. Thanks for the opportunity to win my own custom-designed feather boa!
