 There are several accounts that I follow on Instagram that do something similar to this. Cartoon character mash-ups. I've always had mixed feelings around pieces like this, but have to admit that it was not only fun to choose characters, but proved to be quite challenging as well. Might make more in the future.

 Another version of the b-day snail sans smoke. I kinda like this design better.
Less busy and simplified.

 I was commissioned by my work to create an image for a birthday sticker to hand out to staff members on their birthday. They liked an older doodle I did, but I went back in and changed a few things. Pleased with the final result.

 Who doesn't like a little meta humor every now and again?

Back in 2006, Adult Swim aired a pilot called "Korgoth of Barbaria." It was created by Aaron Springer and never got picked up due to high production costs. The main character, Korgoth, looked a little like this. Only much better. This was either my version of him (possibly from memory) or something that was most obviously inspired by his design. I made this sometime around 2010-2014. Who knows...no date.

Looking through my old flash files from years past and found this guy. No date. Just titled "rabbit dude."

Here's a behind the scenes look at the 6 character challenge.
There's this internet challenge going around on Instagram where you basically draw 6 fan art characters. I wanted in, but decided to pick my own rather than have people suggest them. Really happy with how this tuned out!

I want to make t-shirts with my "modest mouse" design on it, I quickly mocked this up to see what it could potentially look like. Would YOU be interested on buying one?

A logo design that went nowhere. I like how it turned out though.
