Default Jan/Feb - DigiMatt - Norm

I just thought I'd join in this compo.

A little background on my character.
In Sweden we have a form music called Danceband music, I guess danceband is to Sweden what Western music is to America.. sort of, anyways, danceband musicians are most often very nice sort of cotton candy guys, every mother in laws dream guy so thats what Im gonna go for.. Im not aiming to make it very realistic, more of a cartoonish kind of guy..

This specific danceband musician failed misserably as an artist and is now seeking aknowledge in the International FreeStyle Wrestling Tournament.. armed with his microphone stance and perhaps a guitar your gonna have to watch out!!

I really suck at sketches so I havent done any so far.. I will try and put some together just for the sake of the compo though, they will come at a later point.

just started out with the head so far..


Cheers wavers

Hmm, interesting character, nice to see you in the comp too. Looks Goofy sort of a guy. So is he going to be cell shaded or?

Good Luck
Kumar
