Two newbies today!
Kyler! This is a great design. Solid character, full of expression. Colors are great, that pencil is great. Great, great, and more great. On-n-done. Jump on it.

Nicholas! The composition and concept is all solid. I think his proportions need some tweaking. He looks like a dude in a gorilla suit rather than a gorilla. It’s a difficult distinction to render. Also, make the arm all black. The grey in there makes him look like he’s got a bald spot. I really think this could be solid if you tweak those things. Great start!





Kyler’s entry is so boss. To me, it’s the best choice so far. There are some that come close, but c’mon, look at that expression. Damn.

Kyler: I really like the style of your design. Much more mascot-ish than logo-ish IMHO than many of the designs in this contest. Although as we’ve discussed in the past the mascot v logo debate is not cut and dried. In any event…nice work. I’m digging the design!
