*for a creating competition in September

In the midst of job searching, doing own stuff, flash exercises...etc, I was also doing this, the past month. 

I was trying to create some characters for a possible creators contest, but then I found out later that they were looking for underaged creators. After working at it for about a month and even asking my friend Alex Austin to look at, it was kind of ...."Sooo... umm... Oh well. Whatever."

But, thought it was worthwhile posting cause I didn't really do too much of characters before my goldfish animation, "Wall Pets"-- and apparently to others, I might want to explore that more.

So here it is:

The world of Park Natives vs. The Dogs. (not the title, more like a description of what these characters are about... I never came up with a good title for the world... at least not yet)

And then all of them together, roughly to scale...

Inspirations:
*Pom Pom: Happy, the Kim family dog
*Poodle: fashionista/ personal nickname
*Scavenger Squirrel: crazy Providence, RI squirrels
*Army of Pigeons: a not-so-nice pretty celebrity for personality and facial expression.. And pigeons are everywhere...Seoul, Providence, and all the way to NYC...
