[FINAL MASCOT] Downvotes Are Just Australian Upvotes (+ dark theme and extras)
NOTE: I thought this was obvious, but I guess not. I was trying to make a joke in the title, I'm not saying your downvotes are invalid or anything. Feel free to, it's not my business.
I can't believe I didn't add this earlier (biggest oopsie in my life), but check out u/SrGrafo's submission! You should look at it if you haven't already, this design is god tier.
Check out u/Pompmaker1's submission! It's pretty snazzy and it has really cool guns n stuff. It's also the OG inspiration for a lot of the submissions here. Very coolio.
Don't forget to stop by u/WillienA469's submission as well! The mascot includes headphones which adds to the cuteness points.
Special thanks to u/DatDumbCactus, u/Sketch_-, u/BentoNeko and all of the anonymous redditors that have given me awards on my drafts. You're all awesome.
I finally finished. This was worth it and not worth it at the same time.
If there are similar elements taken from other user’s designs, please note that it’s pure coincidence and i wasn’t intentionally copying their ideas;;
This includes Satou from Happy Sugar Life. Many users have pointed out the close resemblence to her, but I can assure you that was completely on accident. My actual inspirations for this character were Akarin from Yuru Yuri and Maria Imari from This Art Club Has a Problem. Sorry about that.
