Image 3/7 for "Otacool 2 Submissions Open"

Yes moar! If you are an illustrator and are looking for an opportunity that may be the break you are looking for then you may be interested in coming up with the character design for the Otacool mascot character!
As you may already know, Otacool has turned into a series which means that your character design will likely gain popularity throughout the otakusphere globally - meaning that once your work has been recognized, you should expect more commission work especially from Japanese companies.
