Dog Mascot Design

So at the beginning of this week, my school presented us with a competition to design a dog to be the  mascot for a company, that I forgot the name of.
There was also a large amount of money to be the prize - but I don't care enough to remember how much it was.

Anyway, I've decided to do something nifty with my doggy mascot design! you see, back in 2003, when I was 9, I started to really get into cartoons - So much so, that I made hundreds upon thousands of totally unoriginal characters with even less creative names, Hood-Boy was one of these characters!! maybe, someday, I'll post a 2003/2013 comparison of the.... holly crap!! I just noticed it's been exactly ten years when I decided to redesign him... I swear that was a coincidence!!
Sorry, got off track.... so one of the very first of the many unoriginal characters, I made, was this dog character called.... this is going to be very embarrassing... 'Woof-Woof'... yeah, that's what Mini Bryn decided to call him.

anyway, I just gave Woof-Woof 3 nice, spiffy little redesigns in hopes that he can get this job as a Mascot for the company I still can't remember the name of. Here they are:

I have also included a small drawing in the corner from 2003, so you can see the comparisons

I like to think my drawing skills have improved a bit since then...

who am I? WHO AM I!?!?

My name is Bryn Kettle. I go by the internet alias of Hood-boy

I am an animator - at the moment I am doing an animation course at college, but I do a  bit of freelancing in my spare time (well, I would if I could get commissions for anything)

I'm actually in the process of making a web cartoon, an ambitious one, at that! it's called BAS'C and it's about 3 really cartoony characters and one totally normal guy - it's really fun, and I've been going about it all professionally - I've made a pilot, a pitch bible and some model sheets - I've only been pitching it to my friends, as a test audience. at the moment I am working on the story boards for the first 3 episodes.

I don't know what else to share... I barely even know what I intend to use this blog thing for. maybe a dump for my doodles and other art? maybe a place to put all my animations? maybe I'll share my life story (disclaimer: I'm not going to share my life story), but what ever the purpose may be, I intend to have fun with this!!
