Character Ideas

Ok. Well. I'm a fan of all things Japanese. They've got it right when it comes to animation and the likes, it's not just for kids, it's for everyone. Plus they have samurai and that rocks. As I'm learning their language I thought I may as well put it vaguely to some slight use and so I came up with these wee characters. Ps - I can't draw. At all:

Nekos


As I can't draw all that well I used Flash to create the basic shape which vaguely resembles a cat's head (Neko is the Japanese word for Cat) and used it as a template. I addied bit's and pieces, changed the colour etc to finish with a variety of character possibilities. My favourites are Kage (Shadow), Shinu (Death) and Yuurei (Ghost). Now to find a story and / or environment to place them in.
