Glad you like him. Nope, I haven’t done anything else with him. I just saw some of the others on that site and thought “I could do that.”

I’m thinking about puting him on a shirt or something, just for my own use. There was a coworker who helped me develop him as we went along, and I thought he’d appreciate having him on something too, so who knows. Maybe I’ll come out with a bunch of them.

Hi Joe

Legosaurus looks cool, have you done anything with him since? I keep meaning to have a dabble with 2D animation (so many things I want to try). There is a program called Anime Studio that I fancy trying.

Hi Tara, I've only got two out there now, and like I said earlier, they were just for fun. Legosaurus JoeDrinkers Mojis The Legosaurus is the one in the war. Spresso was more just as a personal project.

I came across that site recently too. Due to some issues with being competitive I had to toss a couple of ideas into the mix. One of them actually made it to the war, even I’m still not clear on exactly what the end goal is.

I’m going to wander around your site now and see if I can find your characters that the original commenter remarked about.

I’m really liking your site, by the way.

Hi Tara,

cool website you’ve found! I have to agree with LaurenMarie, I tend to do the same, can’t focus on one thing, normally I’m busy working on at least three different projects at the same time. At times for fun, at times for study… I think that’s exactly what makes you a creative person…

I haven’t spoken to my friend yet, she had to go to India in a rush but I didn’t forget about asking her… and I will!

Oh, I don’t think I know any designer capable of focusing on just one thing at a time! We have too many creative ideas that we must see come to fruition!

Hi Lauren, I thought about it, but am still dreaming of a big TV or publishing deal . I have been thinking about trying to approach shops too by drawing up some visuals with the characters on products, but as will everything haven’t got round to it. I need to focus, but you know what its like – you want to spend time on your work, blog,learning CSS, family, and I have another idea I am working on too. I am not too good at just focusing on one thing, its probably my downfall.

So did you post your characters for review? If so, what did the community say?? I tried to search for them, but the search function on that website is crummy. I think your Weather Pops are much cuter than a lot of the stuff I saw on there! Any word from publishers yet?
