      Love this! I am going to be working on another self publishing project, and want to do a character challenge to get moving. Do you have a page size you expect? I'm going to get my son to do this with me too. He is 12. Great inspiration with all the talent out there. And he loves Jake's work.

        hello everyone! I am new here so I am trying to get used to the interface! I liked the topic of this challenge so I had a lot of fun with this character.
        I hope I used the template correctly, I don’t know if it is supposed to have all that much white space around the image or if I was supposed to stretch it all the way to the edges. I would appreciate if anyone could clarify that to me

        Update: I stretched the image to reach closer to the edges of the template and modified the background on the bottom right image with the fridge being a mess instead of falling over.

              @KGatto My daughter is 12 and I will appoint her as my special assistent-tester πŸ™‚ ( not letting her actually on the team because she will try to take over :))))

                @Cayleen LOVE the mouse sandwich! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

                Good idea including a friend on the bench ... helps to show scale. πŸ‘

                            It's interesting to see what everyone came up with!
                            Here's my entry:

                            (I wasn't sure where to find the template -- is it necessary for the submissions?)

                                    @williammeany I got the template from the email sent, but here is the link for the challenge details where it says it must be used and gives a link. Good luck! Your character has a lot of personality!

                                            Do glasses count as clothing? I'd like to put glasses on my animal, but want to confirm whether it's "legal" to put glasses and an article of clothing. (Kind of like @kylebeaudette did above.)
