Fake Vintage Japanese Ad Characters

Hi Everyone!! I've been invited to this amazing collective, and just stoping by to introduce myself.

My name is Juan Molinet, I'm an illustrator and character designer from Buenos Aires, and my first post is about a series of fictional vintage japanese ad mascots.

I'm planning to do between 12 and 20 of these japanese characters. I don't know if i should turn some of them into toys, but I like the idea. Also the type is custom made, I find designing custom type to be a lot of fun!

Hope you like them!

Along with redoing my website again, I've been working on this painting for an art contest for the past month. The contest is based on the 7 deadly sins. The one I chose as a theme is lust. The quote is based on a song by a portuguese singer. Hope yall like it.
