マスコットキャラクター

With the greatest respect to the poster below, I must disagree. "Bane" can be the pronunciation for "Corpse".

Perhaps some pun on "Choo"? Choo-chan?

Haruhi? x_x

No idea. Not bad sketch = )

Hi,
well I've a crush for the name KURUMI.....from the anime (chobbits'like)
It sound sweet, tough, lovely and .......
(hey sound like I'm in love...where's my dvd..........^'^.)

Nice looking character! Very well designed and drawn, though it does look a bit generic. Maybe its the style or the costume...

I think Choo is a good name as well. Or Chu perhaps. Sounds a bit like Chii, which we usually associate with femininity thanks to chobits.

If ever you fancy seeing this (or a SD version) in 3d, I could perhaps give it a shot!

I find Chuu-chan (or Choo-chan) great too ! It may be nice if she wears some kind of armor or big weapons ^^

hold on...you/Danny drew that..
YOU/DANNY-CHOO DREW THAT?!!

man now i feel like a loser since Danny's a know-how-to-do-them-all...

>3< lol

anyway, stick with the current design. it's good. there's a chinese idiom '弄巧成拙', meaning trying to make sth better but end up making it worse...

as for the name...no suggestions.

the name that instantly came to mind was "chuu"

as for add-ons ... I would say maybe neko-mimis ... or maybe a chibii version for later developments

Wow, beautiful drawings!!:D Is it really done by you Danny? Its so good to be multi-talented.

Btw, the name chuu seems okay to me too:D

And another very good idea from you, Danny (and your friend too, this time!)!!

I like this character. I wonder if you will do something special like make her "answer" the FAQ section, give her a a bio, an own personality, a personal gallery and so on.

I hope she would appear often, in various poses and expressions, in normal, mini (Who said "miniskirt"?! lol), SD/mighty modes, etc., but I would truly enjoy some cosplay (as in wearing very famous outfits from other anime/game characters.
That would be top-notch!! -My favorite (Old-school gamer, yes) RPG girls are Nina from Breath of Fire II, Riesz from Seiken Densetsu 3 and Mint from Tales of Phantasia... Even if I prefer bigger eyes-).

Brainstorming, brainstorming, yes yes. It's one of my few pasttimes.

Oh by the way, I saw that the vote button disappeared when you came with all those great ideas.
I sincerely wish your site didn't plummet in the blog charts!!

If you ever need ideas/suggestions, I would really be happy to help, and I'm very often online!

Keep up the good job and...
Later! Take care!!

kawaii~ :3

you draw that? that's one cute moe character ^^

If you're still having a tough time finding name for her, do what I do. I search though different baby naming sites on the web for unique names. They're especially good for finding names associated with the country they originate from. I know it's quite unorthodox, but it makes the naming process a lot easier. ^^

I had a feeling you would want to develop a mascot character sooner or later. Can't wait to see how she turns out, I might try drawing her myself, if you don't mind. ^^

I would go with what everyone's calling her- Chuu-chan sounds good. And she looks a lot like that whatshername from Kage Kara Mamoru. Lol.

The best news ever, very cute indeed but will she appear on figure.fm too?

ps: Sumo wrestling in twilight princess? Matrix mode shadow link scene is bizarre danny.

Your girl looks like NONO aka Bustermachine 7 from Diebuster. Well done!

Not sure if you realise but my site has a mascot as well - a tripenile mango man with wings lol.

I think a mascot is a great idea! Never really thought of it before, but it would give your site some character ya know? Im not good at names so your on your own in that department oO

But definately a welcome change! ^_^

indeed is a very skillful drawing. nice artwork !
Myself also loved to draw, but i'm really sux in drawing girl character, mostly drawing some mecha tech thingy, i'm good on those..
When you going to do the coloring up ?

looks real cool Danny, what hair color are you gonna use? however imho I think it lacks a little more "Danny Choo"ism, could you ask Yuko-san to add a stormtrooper helmet or blaster. also I think shoulder length hair would suit her better. (but keep the long braids on). ^^ on the other hand, the hair thing might just be a matter of personal taste. btw I hope you don't mind me asking, but where would you use her at?

she's lookin good... i guess some of the posters are right... make a few versions/themes of her ie. one in a storm trooper outfit, one in one of those mecha girls outfit and of course the obligatory ecchi bikini n__n

It's me again...!

Well, I've never been good with names, but for japanese names, I truly like Yuki, Madoka and Midori.

For other names, I'm totally clueless (that is why I never invented stories). Ask someone else? XD
I'm eager to see how that will progress.

See you next post!

Chuu-chan sounds good. But if not, maybe Sayuri, Makoto, Yuki, or Haruhi (yes, I'm a fanboy)

Nice drawing! If you truly drew that, then your really multi talented are ya? I can't even draw stick figures properly.

ooh a mascot is a nice idea, dont forget the maid and catgirl outfits.

Random Greek words for a name? Angeion, Aerios, Haima, Eikon, Mousa. Say them like Japanese and it sounds sorta...erm. Mousa is 'a patron goddess of the arts' ._. *wiki* (Or make random names thats just random like Collia... @_@)

NICE!... But hmmm, here's something nobody's mentioned... What if your mascot had her own little mini-mascot pet, similar to Lacus Clyne's little robot "Haro" from Gundam Seed???... Your mascot could simply be named "Dansu" (dance), and her little orange pet could be named "Chu", hopping around saying "Chu Chu". LOL!

I think people had some decent ideas, but if she's going to be a mascot IT NEEDS TO BE TAN! Chuu-tan! INDEED!

Other Suggestions:
Danchu-chin (Blame the Kansai cutie from Tonagura for this one. Chiiin.)
団組みちゃん (I like word play! Maybe this one gets lost there... but on the first word in the name, think about the first three letters of your name! BAM! Cross lingual reference!)

And that's all from me.

i can't even draw a circle properly lol :) good job !

sweeeeet

Hmm... the name has to fit the looks of the character. Naming is kinda hard.

Kizumi!

Yeah it's sad, I think that's made up though. ^o^'

Hmm... a name, a name for the mascot. Well, not a well know anime character or such. Something orginal and with some thought. Maybe a name with a single kanji. It's cool if your name is a single kanji. How about a season an element or including one? Those always make nice names.

how about:

夏樹 (Natsuki）
萌 (Moe)
うみ was a nice suggestion

Maybe these will help or give you some thoughts.

I like Yuko-san sketch very much. Every mascot needs her 幸福. Maybe a cute maids outfit too.

I like the sketch Yuko made. It looks good. A good hair color for her would be brown, but orange is also good since it fits with the site's color.

A cute name for her would be sweet. :P

nice drawing wish i could draw like that.

I was actally thinking when you will have your mascot characters, and was musing to myself what kinda chr will you choose, will it be a girlie one or a mecha, or perhaps a hybrid. So the answer is finally out.

Chu （楚） sounds nice, perhaps chu-tan or chu-chan. which essentially is 小楚 or 楚子. Is this Chinese chr present in Japanese Kanji?

When I have the time and in the mood to draw, maybe I will try to powerup and mechanized her and send to you as fanart.

I'm looking forward to the new mascot! =) It's looking good so far!

Hmm... Yup, me again. Missed me?

To NS2D: The poll was about personal skills in drawing, not about judging Danny's sketches! The polls are always directed to us, members, guests, etc. I think?

I really wonder how you will react to all the comments and suggestions, Danny.
There are some good ideas from others floating around!
And I saw the update. So far so good!

Well, it's been a while I didn't post a comment so I go 200% today. Lol.

Anyway! Time to wander again! Bye for now!
*Warps away again*

I voted for "Erm no" since my art skills are below average.

The new mascot looks nice and is coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see the final product.

I especially like the few hairs standing up at the back of her head...gives is a more cute appeal. :)

OMG Danny you can draw that good!?

now you made me choose the latter choice of the poll :

Danny, how would you and your associate feel if ero fanart of this character happened to materialize on a certain corner of the web... namely my art site.

>_>

Well since I can't make one since they all suck I decided to do the next best thing and find you a naming website:

http://www.babynames.com/Names/search_result.php

It's already done for you Danny. But if you want to change it from a different country or whatever it should be easy.

Oops, it didn't work so I'll give you a different link:

http://www.babynames.com/Names/search.php

Sorry. -_-'

She looks nice & kawaii ^^ How about make some changes to her like the Wonder Festival character style, bit Xtra ordinary (just a suggestion ^^)

P.S.: This just occurred to me.

Does your yearning for a mascot character betray a hidden longing for a daughter? >.>

1) Her colors should closely matched with orange

2) Her name should represent something about you or your website

3) There should be a icon of her face for your comments (so we can distinguish them easier)

I'm bad at giving names and most especially bad at drawing. You on the other hand possess a kick-ass drawing skill. :D

I have to agree that it'd be better if she wasn't wearing a school uniform though. Probably a casual attire would be nice. An attire that would match the season. :D

hold on...you/Danny drew that..
YOU/DANNY-CHOO DREW THAT?!!

man now i feel like a loser since Danny's a know-how-to-do-them-all...

>3< lol

anyway, stick with the current design. it's good. there's a chinese idiom '弄巧成拙', meaning trying to make sth better but end up making it worse...

as for the name...no suggestions.

the name that instantly came to mind was "chuu"

as for add-ons ... I would say maybe neko-mimis ... or maybe a chibii version for later developments

Wow, beautiful drawings!!:D Is it really done by you Danny? Its so good to be multi-talented.

Btw, the name chuu seems okay to me too:D

And another very good idea from you, Danny (and your friend too, this time!)!!

I like this character. I wonder if you will do something special like make her "answer" the FAQ section, give her a a bio, an own personality, a personal gallery and so on.

I hope she would appear often, in various poses and expressions, in normal, mini (Who said "miniskirt"?! lol), SD/mighty modes, etc., but I would truly enjoy some cosplay (as in wearing very famous outfits from other anime/game characters.
That would be top-notch!! -My favorite (Old-school gamer, yes) RPG girls are Nina from Breath of Fire II, Riesz from Seiken Densetsu 3 and Mint from Tales of Phantasia... Even if I prefer bigger eyes-).

Brainstorming, brainstorming, yes yes. It's one of my few pasttimes.

Oh by the way, I saw that the vote button disappeared when you came with all those great ideas.
I sincerely wish your site didn't plummet in the blog charts!!

If you ever need ideas/suggestions, I would really be happy to help, and I'm very often online!

Keep up the good job and...
Later! Take care!!

kawaii~ :3

you draw that? that's one cute moe character ^^

If you're still having a tough time finding name for her, do what I do. I search though different baby naming sites on the web for unique names. They're especially good for finding names associated with the country they originate from. I know it's quite unorthodox, but it makes the naming process a lot easier. ^^

I had a feeling you would want to develop a mascot character sooner or later. Can't wait to see how she turns out, I might try drawing her myself, if you don't mind. ^^

I would go with what everyone's calling her- Chuu-chan sounds good. And she looks a lot like that whatshername from Kage Kara Mamoru. Lol.

The best news ever, very cute indeed but will she appear on figure.fm too?

ps: Sumo wrestling in twilight princess? Matrix mode shadow link scene is bizarre danny.

Your girl looks like NONO aka Bustermachine 7 from Diebuster. Well done!

Not sure if you realise but my site has a mascot as well - a tripenile mango man with wings lol.

I think a mascot is a great idea! Never really thought of it before, but it would give your site some character ya know? Im not good at names so your on your own in that department oO

But definately a welcome change! ^_^

indeed is a very skillful drawing. nice artwork !
Myself also loved to draw, but i'm really sux in drawing girl character, mostly drawing some mecha tech thingy, i'm good on those..
When you going to do the coloring up ?

looks real cool Danny, what hair color are you gonna use? however imho I think it lacks a little more "Danny Choo"ism, could you ask Yuko-san to add a stormtrooper helmet or blaster. also I think shoulder length hair would suit her better. (but keep the long braids on). ^^ on the other hand, the hair thing might just be a matter of personal taste. btw I hope you don't mind me asking, but where would you use her at?

she's lookin good... i guess some of the posters are right... make a few versions/themes of her ie. one in a storm trooper outfit, one in one of those mecha girls outfit and of course the obligatory ecchi bikini n__n

It's me again...!

Well, I've never been good with names, but for japanese names, I truly like Yuki, Madoka and Midori.

For other names, I'm totally clueless (that is why I never invented stories). Ask someone else? XD
I'm eager to see how that will progress.

See you next post!

Chuu-chan sounds good. But if not, maybe Sayuri, Makoto, Yuki, or Haruhi (yes, I'm a fanboy)

Nice drawing! If you truly drew that, then your really multi talented are ya? I can't even draw stick figures properly.

ooh a mascot is a nice idea, dont forget the maid and catgirl outfits.

Random Greek words for a name? Angeion, Aerios, Haima, Eikon, Mousa. Say them like Japanese and it sounds sorta...erm. Mousa is 'a patron goddess of the arts' ._. *wiki* (Or make random names thats just random like Collia... @_@)

NICE!... But hmmm, here's something nobody's mentioned... What if your mascot had her own little mini-mascot pet, similar to Lacus Clyne's little robot "Haro" from Gundam Seed???... Your mascot could simply be named "Dansu" (dance), and her little orange pet could be named "Chu", hopping around saying "Chu Chu". LOL!

I think people had some decent ideas, but if she's going to be a mascot IT NEEDS TO BE TAN! Chuu-tan! INDEED!

Other Suggestions:
Danchu-chin (Blame the Kansai cutie from Tonagura for this one. Chiiin.)
団組みちゃん (I like word play! Maybe this one gets lost there... but on the first word in the name, think about the first three letters of your name! BAM! Cross lingual reference!)

And that's all from me.

i can't even draw a circle properly lol :) good job !

sweeeeet

Hmm... the name has to fit the looks of the character. Naming is kinda hard.

Kizumi!

Yeah it's sad, I think that's made up though. ^o^'

Hmm... a name, a name for the mascot. Well, not a well know anime character or such. Something orginal and with some thought. Maybe a name with a single kanji. It's cool if your name is a single kanji. How about a season an element or including one? Those always make nice names.

how about:

夏樹 (Natsuki）
萌 (Moe)
うみ was a nice suggestion

Maybe these will help or give you some thoughts.

I like Yuko-san sketch very much. Every mascot needs her 幸福. Maybe a cute maids outfit too.

I like the sketch Yuko made. It looks good. A good hair color for her would be brown, but orange is also good since it fits with the site's color.

A cute name for her would be sweet. :P

nice drawing wish i could draw like that.

I was actally thinking when you will have your mascot characters, and was musing to myself what kinda chr will you choose, will it be a girlie one or a mecha, or perhaps a hybrid. So the answer is finally out.

Chu （楚） sounds nice, perhaps chu-tan or chu-chan. which essentially is 小楚 or 楚子. Is this Chinese chr present in Japanese Kanji?

When I have the time and in the mood to draw, maybe I will try to powerup and mechanized her and send to you as fanart.

I'm looking forward to the new mascot! =) It's looking good so far!

Hmm... Yup, me again. Missed me?

To NS2D: The poll was about personal skills in drawing, not about judging Danny's sketches! The polls are always directed to us, members, guests, etc. I think?

I really wonder how you will react to all the comments and suggestions, Danny.
There are some good ideas from others floating around!
And I saw the update. So far so good!

Well, it's been a while I didn't post a comment so I go 200% today. Lol.

Anyway! Time to wander again! Bye for now!
*Warps away again*

I voted for "Erm no" since my art skills are below average.

The new mascot looks nice and is coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see the final product.

I especially like the few hairs standing up at the back of her head...gives is a more cute appeal. :)

OMG Danny you can draw that good!?

now you made me choose the latter choice of the poll :

Danny, how would you and your associate feel if ero fanart of this character happened to materialize on a certain corner of the web... namely my art site.

>_>

Well since I can't make one since they all suck I decided to do the next best thing and find you a naming website:

http://www.babynames.com/Names/search_result.php

It's already done for you Danny. But if you want to change it from a different country or whatever it should be easy.

Oops, it didn't work so I'll give you a different link:

http://www.babynames.com/Names/search.php

Sorry. -_-'

She looks nice & kawaii ^^ How about make some changes to her like the Wonder Festival character style, bit Xtra ordinary (just a suggestion ^^)

P.S.: This just occurred to me.

Does your yearning for a mascot character betray a hidden longing for a daughter? >.>

1) Her colors should closely matched with orange

2) Her name should represent something about you or your website

3) There should be a icon of her face for your comments (so we can distinguish them easier)

I'm bad at giving names and most especially bad at drawing. You on the other hand possess a kick-ass drawing skill. :D

I have to agree that it'd be better if she wasn't wearing a school uniform though. Probably a casual attire would be nice. An attire that would match the season. :D

she looks like a mix of nono (gunbuster 2) and a to heart 2 character (with matching uniform). and judging by her hair, pink is the best color. i'll be looking forward to her "hosting" your site, danny!

I was in History class today when a name hit me, how about Sayu? Or Sayaka?

She looks like someone who's name begins with an S or an M.

Thank you all for the feedback!
Looks like Chu-tan (ちゅーたん) seems to be favorable ^^; Have not decided yet but that seems the most likely.
Azami likes the name too and the pose of Chu-tan blowing a kiss (which is "ちゅー" in Japanese) would look cute ^^;

As for costumes, We are preparing a set for each of the categories - she will be a mecha girl for gundam and in a bikini for Idols for example. Also preparing a female version of stormtrooper armor ^^;
The school uniform is just one of her outfits.

And for those who thought I done these sketches - T'was not me but Yuko Azami.

Hmmm, I like this style a lot. It's very... bright, you could say. Kinda compliments on the fact that you can take "bright" pictures too. I think you've found a good partner to make your mascot (though something small might've been better... like a chibi version of your future mascot).
