Mascot Final
(
75)
Sun 2007/01/28 00:54
This is the final version of the mascot character (still considering the name!). Made the eyes more like the girls you see in Bishojo games and the legs are much longer (just like bishojo legs ^^;) Yuko Azami sensei has done a great job and am very please with the results.
Also including roughs for maid, stormtrooper, gundam etc - read on ^^
Below: Full body version. Longer legs ^^;
Below: These are first roughs and are done to give me a sense of whether they have turned out as I requested. As with the final version, all these will have larger hips, longer legs and more volume to the "eyes."
This is the image for the Japan category where she is dressed up as a Miko (巫女).
Below: I chose Destiny Gundam for the Gundam section but it was a tough choice. Already seen tons of other RX78 girls so wanted something different.
Below: As a maid for the Figurines section. Notice her holding a figure of herself ^^;
Below: In armor. The final will look a bit different.
Below: For the events section. She just came back from an event in her otaku gear ^^;
The swimear was too sexy to post today so you will have to wait a wee bit longer ^^;

All right! And... Yes, Azami-san deserves her name on her drawings. Excellent teamwork!

Good job guys ! But I totally agree with you : she needs more volume to the "eyes" ;)

i sense a bunch of dannychoo.com figurines coming out soon.........oh ya, how bout a hot spring version whereby she's wrap in a towel...and consider megane, neko ears...etc...the moe~ factors...then, its onto figurines........worldwide domination of dannychoo.com
(ID #43486) Posted on 2007/01/28 03:39
I like all of these!! They look amazing, now I don't want to sound square but I'm actually looking forward to the stormtrooper one.
(ID #43487) Posted on 2007/01/28 03:52
Man this rocks! One suggestion: Can you make it so that for people with widescreen monitors, it shows up on the left or right side (it will be nice change from the white blankness)

Very cute Danny, very cute. I'm very envious of you; though I know you didn't make it it just that I know it'll make a good edition to the site. I need to make it one step at a time before I can even TRY to achieve this greatness. ^o^;;

You wont happen to be planning an ero version would you XP
(ID #43491) Posted on 2007/01/28 04:47
I'm liking it! She reminds me of 95-tan crossed with XP-tan for some reason =_=.

Oh hell. Those are really really good stuff. Can't wait to see it in color. Will she in be different colors or will they have a common identity?
(ID #43497) Posted on 2007/01/28 06:27
danny, youve made the site more awesome.. it looks like myspace and other community site.. im hoping for new features and add ons.. keep rockin!
(ID #43498) Posted on 2007/01/28 07:22
evryone can create a simple animation or comic book by using a paper and pencil.. and also you need to have adobe photoshop for you to finish ur masterpiece. it will take you hours, or even minutes if you have the skill.. rock on!

Thanks all for the feedback. cArbOn, This whole site is boring and stereotypical - but you should already be used to that by now ^^ Tsubaki, For now I have her in Orange and Red but can easily add more colors. Mambo, Tempting ^^; wildarmsheero, I think thats one of the cutest poses (esp the smile) Rufus Shinra, Will think about it as I redesign the top. みずほ銀行さん、 予定あります！でも最初はどれにするのかまだ決めていません。 CrazyAnimeTuga, Need to think about that one...

Nicely Done Danny great artwork , good choice on Destiny.. its much better then that abomination called Strike Freedom :D
(ID #43502) Posted on 2007/01/28 08:59
Great stuff. I really like the maiko one, and the maid costume and pose is very cute. The stormtrooper one is pretty good, but i think the otaku one is lacking something a bit. I also think the gundam one is a bit too revealing around the chest compared to the other ones. Really nice work though - the initial one is spot on. Will she do a SD one for small points and areas where a smaller character is required? Hope you do a 'moeyo' and make a figure of it. Id buy one.

Very nice ! I can't wait to see the final version of each section. Well done Yuko Azami ! :-)
(ID #43504) Posted on 2007/01/28 09:26
You've got an awesome looking mascot for your awesome looking site Danny. I think it may give moeyo's mascot (I forget her name) a run for her money. I especially like the miko version. Personally, I dig Strike Freedom and Freedom a lot more than Destiny (Destiny is actually my least favorite CE Gundam), but considering the mascot design, I suppose Destiny will do for the Gundam section (although an Infinite Justice Gundam Gal would've been ultimate win to me, with the pink and all). An even more interesting one would've been a Crossbone Full Cloth Gundam Gal. Anyways, all the other outfits are awesome too. I can't wait to see this cutie all over DannyChoo.com
(ID #43505) Posted on 2007/01/28 09:44
The longer legs ver (6.5-7 heads height) looks much better, but looking at the sketches, seems that she is more used to drawing figures with 5.5-6 heads height.
(ID #43506) Posted on 2007/01/28 09:46
Woah! They are all really good, and i definately agree, the longer legs are soo much better, she looks even more moe than she did before ^_^ I must say i am particularly looking forward to the maid one, but they are all really cool! And i await the swimsuit one...it should be most pleasing xD

(ID #43511) Posted on 2007/01/28 12:00
Lovely mascot. She looks like an authentic character straight out of an anime. I'm really liking the maid version.
(ID #43512) Posted on 2007/01/28 12:44

You could always name her "Dani Chu." heh...heh

hey... nice stuff there...Yuko Azami sensei really came thru with the designs wish i could learn from her to draw better... so i can add mascot to my site too ^^ I really like the maid & miko design, the stormtrooper one is not too bad either... the otaku gear one is someting new never seen a female version before (thinks about Densha Otoko) Any chance danny I can download the graphics for to create my own personal desktop wallpapers?

(ID #43521) Posted on 2007/01/28 17:06
She looks REALLLY like NONO from Diebuster. I mean that in a good way of course since Buster Machine no. 7 is the win.
(ID #43522) Posted on 2007/01/28 17:07
The mascot looks better with those little modifications. Am I the only one who didn't like the stormtrooper and the gundam versions?
(ID #43523) Posted on 2007/01/28 17:15
nice, cant wait to see her up on the site. :)

(ID #43532) Posted on 2007/01/29 01:14
Can't wait to see how Yuko CG the sketches! btw, the Storm trooper sketch, the legs seems to be abit short (from my perspective that is D:) Anyone notice or is it just me?

The gundam armor looks a wee bit on the scanty side. How about more to cover up? She could also do without the helmet, because if enough Gundam armor is put on the body, people will easily recognize it. Too less, then it doesn't really feel like Gundam.

High School Graduate... Now what?
Wow, both of you really know how to make stuff look good. Your mascot's really one of a kind, so congrats. Look forward to the other finals of your mascot, like the rest of the community here. I also think the Gundam version could use a little more cover up, but you decide to keep her that way, I'll say it really shows one of many true spirits of otaku(-ism would be more correct?). Once your mascot's finished, then I'll have to wait for fan comics next. Fuuuuun. ^^

I think the Gundam Cosplay should have the helmet off with more hair. :P P.S. Look for me in CS people !

hmm, she's fleshing out very nicely danny. kudos to yuko azami for a job well done (drawn?) ^__^ hmm, the gundam girl is a tad on the skimpy side. why don't you give her more armor coverage? i tink the only ecchi one shud be the bikini girl, lol.. eh? i tot u pretty much settled on naming her chu-chan? =__="

I swear, It's Konyaku Yuna from Kage Kara Mamoru but with a differen hair colour! Not that i mind tho, that design was pretty cute. I'd use freedom gundam (Not strike freedom) for the gundam section tho...

Sorry about the double posting...I accidentally pressed the submit button too soon... I was saying that I think she looks very cool and cute; I hope you decide to eventually post some wallpapers, Danny, as some people here stated before.

Her legs look good standing up, but I wonder what they'll look like when she sits down since they're so long... Umm, anyways, I'd hit it.
