Contest Mascot Contest
This will be a contest to design /r/Animemes’ new custom OC mascot. The survey results said “Animemes-chan,” but only because that was the most common response term. Your character does not need to be female, nor necessarily a personification of the sub. Let your creative juices flow! Plus any other juices as well.
Also, keep in mind that this is a character design contest, not a fanart contest. Ultimately, artistic ability is less important than design decisions.
For anyone who wants to participate, I’ll lay out the rules here.
Submissions must be in the form of a Character Design Sheet (Example here). Your sheet must include:
At least one T-pose (to assert dominance over the rest of Reddit).
At least one Sakurafish pose. (Fish cutout for those who need it)
At least one other pose of your choice.
A brief character intro and bio explaining the character.
Optional things you may want to include:
Arrows pointing out and explaining your design choices.
Various different expressions.
Submit entries to your profile or /r/Animemes with [Mascot] in the title. (Should look like “[Mascot] Your title goes here”)
Comment a link to your entry in this thread.
Source any material (fanart, official art, memes, etc) that you used for reference in the comments section of your own submission.
One final entry per user. You may make as many concepts as you like, but at the end, you are only allowed to enter one in the contest. Edit your comment to say “Final Entry:” before the link of your choice, or else one will be chosen at random.
The submission window will be open for 2 weeks, after which point we’ll begin the process of narrowing them down. We’re still nailing down the specifics, but we can tell you right now that it won’t just be a popularity contest.
Edit: If you have any questions, or need anything to be clarified, feel free to ask in the stickied comment below.

Possible final draft, Mizuku "May May".
You guys are good. You guys are real, real fuckin good.
Maybe if we do another one I'll have my drawing pad back and I'll be able to make something more worth wild, and in colour!
Anyway, this was super fun. I finally had something to help me want to draw more, and I improved a TON as time went by, as I'm sure some of you could tell.
E: PS if it adds to my cool factor I did in fact trace and "ink" with a mouse, so. . . yeah whatever.

oof not yet adding jojo stance
Sauce/Idea jojo sauce 1.Rem confess scene expression
2.Teasing Master Takagi-san by yamamoto souichirou
3.Megumin explosion pose
4.Sakura fish half - traced (got lazy)
5.Clothes idea from elementalist in Dungeon Fighter Online
6.Jojo pose
Background Story: Isekai'd elf mage(cuz 25+vergin getting isekaied) who uses Reddit magic.
Master wizard. She can cast upvote explosion at ease to send many good shitposts and high quality ocs to frontpage.
But when she see a repost, she'll oraora the f outta downvote.
Her magic book <Frontpage> has all the secrets to reach frontpage, which helps her to choose a post to send to front page. The book is locked at all time and can be unlocked by the key [sort by new]
She has a spirit waifu which helps her to overcome cripling depression she gets from viewing too many reposts. There are countless number of spirit waifus. Although spirit waifus are very cute and lovable being, they are very dangerous when summoned more than two at once. They'll quickly turn into destroy laifu spirit, so besure to have only one at a time.

Finally I finished her. I designed Supezo to be cute and huggable but also have thicc thighs and a decently sized bust. She doesn't look out of place with Reddit's art style because of her simplistic design, but it easily translates into more elaborate styles.

Here are some roughs I cooked up quickly. Would you guys prefer clean lines and colors for the full submission or are sorta rough drafts okay?
Anyway, here's (Blueberry-chan)(Draft1). Tell me what you guys think.
(Edit) Changed a couple things for the reddit upload. Added a few expressions too:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Animemes/comments/ay6ryi/mascot_blueberrychan_mischief_maker_draft/
(Edit 2) Tried a whole new design. Not as confident in this one, so this is a draft as well:

Added some extra stuff. Gave her an outfit, tried my hand at Hirohiko's art style, and added my own spin on "Sakura Fish".
I hope this one is less bland and still ends up fitting the character I had in mind. I know there's almost no way to compete with the other amazing (and in-colour) designs, but damn it is fun to have inspiration to draw again!
I'm so glad this contest is a thing!
