TC12: Week Four

I've had kind of a rough week, so I thought I'd go with a melancholy vibe this time around. Melancholy but still cute, of course. Most of my characters are usually happy-shiny little things, so it doesn't hurt to add some different emotions to the line-up. And on a side note, I really like those stripes he's sporting.

What should this dude's name be? Email your ideas to me and I'll pick a favorite. Winners will receive a print of the design along with a few other cool items...congrats to JR from Louisiana for naming Week Three's illustration — Claymore it is!

Below is a look at the original sketchy inspiration for this one...will he one day get a lady tiger koala creature by his side? Anything is possible, stay tuned to find out.
