Just a suggestion, how about multiple winners for the forum? Different mascots for different sections?

sounds like a good idea. The one drunkguy made would be perfect for the 18+ forum!
Glados is a bitch. She made me kill the companion cube, the only friend I'll ever have. 😢

Doesn't seem like a good idea. Sure, it might be nice in the future, but since this site has more than just forums, we should probably focus on a full on mascot for MU. Something that people will see and think, "oh, this must have to do with MU". Maybe later they could have it doing different poses for each section.
This signature was recovered from Hades to serve in my rotting armies.
The first thing I see when I enter this site is Sakura on the upper right corner.
I kinda thought she was mascot.
but now that i think about it. Nah!
MU has always strike me as a monkey or an elephant. [img]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc143/jjbanaNANA/yociexp75.gif[/img]

That might get kinda complicated and weird for now, and I agree with x0mbiec0rp.

One winner, that's it
A just ruler amongst tyrants
Agree.
That's too many Mascots. 🤢

blakraven, I really like yours. Reminds of JFaK's art style ^_^
It'll be hard to beat ;] But we'll see what I can come up with~
Is it okay if I use openCanvas btw? I don't like Photoshop for CGing
huggles tabby >w<
Hmmm...actually I'm using my little brothers, Anima-XIII's art style...after all they're the one's teaching me how to draw nicely with a mouse...that character was also originally their creation, I just made a few modifications to make it fit for a Mascot for MU.
a week ago I couldn't even draw a simple apple without messing up and getting annoyed, not to mention I had no knowledge on how to use Photoshop...for now I can only do simple characters like that one...it's hard not having a scanner or tablet, especially for my brothers since they can't draw a comic to enter those competitions they hold on DevArt

Oh well. I figured it would be a winner take all situation. Makes me wish there wasn't a limit to entries though. Every time I see a new contender I feel like trying my hand to one up them. 😛

Need to get a new scanner myself. My current one cost me 50 bucks but it died on me shortly after the new year started. Not sure if I should get another cheap scanner or go look into a more expensive model.
Tablets are an acquired taste. It feels far more like a mouse than a pen and pencil and in many cases works far less effectively. Accidental clicks and selections happen all the time with tablets. Then again I'm only familiar with the lower end of tablets (Wacom Graphires). At 100 bucks a pop though, I hesitate to call them cheap.
One was DOA, another broke due to abuse and the third one came with a crappy pen grip with rubber that rotted away after about a month of constant use. I switched to scanning and mouse drawing in Photoshop ever since. That damned cintiq 12wx is such a tempting looking 1000 dollar bastard though.

behold!the mascot of MU!
name of this mascot is : Supabaka
supa as in super,baka taken from baka updates manga
how much effort put in this work :
i make this mascot simple so that everyone can draw it too!
searching and thinking process takes 2+ hours,drawing on paper takes -10 minutes,redraw and color it on PS takes 45+ minutes(sorry i suck on PS).
whole process takes 3+ hours including posting on this forum ^_^
How you think this best represents manga updates :
Supabaka just like Superman Helps people in need!
it is Supabaka's job to help users update their manga list,helps search for manga,and find infos!
id like to add more abt this mascot but sorry for my poor english as this is not my native language... 😛

Is there really a need to quote all those big images...?
So far, I like blakraven's works best. With those eyes of different size, Mad reminds me of that weird pink thing from VP Miyu.
