A Rainbow Crest and Painted Red Spirals

A blue-green-purple crest rises above a backward glance and extended tongue, red-and-white body paint continuing toward the curled hand.

Detailed description
The head turns back over the shoulder with the tongue extended, making the close portrait emphatically playful. A tall crest of green, blue and purple spikes fans across the upper edge. A strip of white fur runs beside it, replacing the hair's sharp points with a softer, irregular border.
Red paint traces angular shapes around the eyes and a larger geometric mark on the forehead. A septum ornament and purple hoop earring add tiny reflective details below. The dark eye makeup keeps the returning gaze legible within that much brighter arrangement. Pink and turquoise areas near the temple connect the face's color to the spiked crest above.
The body turns away, revealing red spirals and stripes over pale painted areas at the shoulder and arm. A raised hand curls its fingers near the face, displaying dark glittering nails and a small ring. A white fluffy cuff surrounds the wrist, with a narrow dark band just above it. At the lower edge, part of a green decorated disk and red pointed pieces introduce another constructed surface behind the shoulder.
Soft daylight reveals individual stiff hair strands and the less uniform edges of the paint. The background is a pale convention walkway with dark distant figures, all strongly blurred. The atmosphere is exuberant through the tongue-out expression and curled hand. Its composition connects several kinds of pointed and curved shape: spiked crest, angular eye paint, rounded hoop and broad shoulder spiral. Fine fur, smooth painted skin and glossy nail surfaces remain different in texture despite sharing the vivid palette. The backward glance keeps the face central within that layered display.
