A design I entered into Tofugu’s “kimo-kawaii” (gross-cute) sticker art contest, and my first real foray into using Adobe Illustrator.
In addition to amping up the goopiness of their original mascot, I went with the approach of making fugu poisoning look cute!…except there’s not really a lot of ways to show off what’s mostly paralytic symptoms in a static image. So instead he’s just kinda blue and dead-eyed. But in a cute way!
