Concept idea: Seeing Cube’s design immediately made me think of
Eiscue. Both have a mix of cuteness and silliness feel attached to their character. Cube’s catchphrase (
brainfreeze) made me think of a cold drink and since he sometimes holds a smoothie drink in ACNH, I thought of drawing a
fancier smoothie for this special occasion (Thanksgiving); this would be my resident representative’s (Zéphyre) way of expression her gratitude to Cube.
Story: On Thanksgiving morning, Zéphyre was eagerly fishing for some ingredients to prepare her Thanksgiving feast. Little did she know that Eiscue also happened to be leisurely swimming along Cat’s-paw’s (my island) beach. [Thud!] Suddenly, Zéphyre heard a bumping sound: her hook accidently collided with Eiscue’s ice cube head! Eiscue, shocked to have its swimming session interrupted, swiftly kicked towards the surface. As it swam back up, Eiscue’s ice cube shattered into pieces; the physical damage it took from the bobber was too great (N.B. once Eiscue takes damage by a physical attack, it changes to the
Noice Face form). But to her surprise, Eiscue resurfaced as Cube?!
