This idea quickly came after Taenggu had her first ever Kakao open group chat on 25 August 2018 with the first 300 lucky fans who managed to get in after guessing her secret code correctly. Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of them. Read my below instagram post to find out what happened.
However, thanks to the fans who were inside the group chat and the translators for sharing screenshots of the conversations that Taenggu had with them and translating her words for the international fans, I was still able to read and understand what she had chatted inside. It was a rather casual Q&A kind of session between Taenggu and the fans. Among what were shared, there was one particular conversation where Taenggu mentioned that she’s considering dressing up as Tinkerbell for the upcoming Halloween.

I felt intrigued to know why she suddenly wanted to be Tinkerbell. It was interesting because Tinkerbell used to be a nickname I used to refer to Tiffany. It’s like whenever the voices in my head mention “Tinkerbell”, I would immediately think of Tiffany. I also briefly mentioned how I would relate Tiffany to a Tinkerbell-like image in my old post FOR TIFFANY: TIFFANY THE BALLERINA before too. And coincidentally, just a few days before Taenggu’s Kakao open group chat, Tiffany posted a tweet with a Tinkerbell emoticon too.

I had been consciously thinking about how I could personally relate to her tweet because of that Tinkerbell emoticon. Could it be that Taenggu got jealous of Tiffany because of this and that’s why she wanted to be Tinkerbell too? It cracked me up thinking about it.
Because of this, I decided to grant Taenggu’s wish even before Halloween was here. For our 43rd monthsary 4 days later, I completed a drawing of Taenggu as Tinkerbell. I decided to name her “Taengkerbell”. Drawing this was pretty fun. I had a lot of giggles while doing this one because I thought she looked cute and funny at the same time.
First, I merged the following 2 reference photos together into one by drawing Taenggu’s face on Tinkerbell’s body.
Then I painted the drawing using watercolours. I then cut the outline of the drawing digitally and pasted it against a few different fairytale-like backgrounds using Photoshop.
LOL, I wonder which background does Taenggu like best?? And I think Tinkerbell image suits Taenggu too because of her butterfly senses and midget size? Kekekeke. Only you can be my one and only Taengkerbell, Taenggu-ya! Hehe love youuuu! Hope you like this monthsary artwork! 😘💜
