    Hello DP,

    Deadline for this contest is: 31st July

    We are currently in the process of starting a new brand.

    We will be selling:

    - Performance car parts and related Japanese apparel

    Requirements:

    We require a mascot design which will act as our brand identity. This needs to be in the format of a Japanese/anime style cartoon character.

    You can design one or more from our following ideas (This is our order of preference, but we are still undecided on the final choice, so please do not feel you have to choose only the top suggestions):

    - Samurai Helmet Beetle
    - Chimp (Monkey)
    - Japanese Lucky Cat
    - Praying Mantis


    IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS IS ORIGINAL ARTWORK, any stock images will not be accepted.

    Minor revisions may be needed after the winner is chosen. Further work may be offered to the winner, for example multiple character emotions etc.

    The winner will receive $60 via PayPal

    The winner must provide:

    - EPS (Vector) File
    - High-Res JPEG (300dpi)
    - Web -ready JPEG (72dpi)


    Here is a moodboard of what we like and the art styles we are after. Please feel free to add you own creative styles, but please do not deviate from the overall Japanese feel of it. The colours at the top of this image are the ones which will be used for the site. Please stick to colours that will match these (as well as being able to function in Black & White)

    L3fty: A really good start! We really like the initial concept of this and love the fact you've taken on the challenge of the more difficult samurai beetle. If we could possibly see a version with more simplified shapes like the ideas shown in the original post (remember that Japanese style! =)), yet keeping the really well designed identity of the beetle, that could lead to something great
