I suck at categories. And titles.

So this is a guy I randomly came up with for the mascot contest for NYAF.
He's got the statue of liberty spikes, the red/white shirt/jacket combo to represent the Japan flag, the Japan flag belt buckle, and the taxi pants. Also, the NYAF gold chain and the pocky in his mouth. What's not to love?

I just hope they base their judging on creativity and not artistic talent.
I was almost ready to give up when looking at some of the other entries, but..I'll try to have confidence.
First time submitting to a contest like this so..wish me luck.
To the other artists entering..I wish you luck as well.

I'm probably going to submit another because I had one of those things where I came up with something better than what I originally had after already starting to color my first piece (this one).
