DESIGN A CHARACTER CONTEST - Week 6 - Shape Challenge. Meet Mr Splodgey

Hey All

Here is my first entry for the Design A Character Contest from @w0olf .

Let me introduce Mr Splodgey, a fun little character who loves lollipops.
Based on the second shape from the challenge.
This is an all digital image, painted using photoshop and a wacom pad. I really tried to give this a painterly feel which added to the fun.
What i found interesting, is keeping to the base shape 100% but using light and shadow to give you form that shouldn't fit into that silhouette.

Check out the snapshots below too to see how this character evolved.

Hope you all like him.
Cheers
Nick
