I was approached by cosplayer Esther the Great when she needed a mascot for her new website (which I also helped her set up) Rehtseeee.net
You may remember the end result being teased on my facebook page here quite a few weeks back.
Esther and I went into discussion on what she wanted in a mascot, as I asked her questions to help me narrow it down. Surprisingly, only a few elements from the original discussion actually made it through to the end result, as several elements were brought into the illustration during the sketching phase.
I always try to emphasize uniqueness in a mascot – features that would make the mascot stand out as something out of the ordinary, or special, and usually something that represents what your blog is about. Unfortunately, I found the latter part a little difficult to do, since Esther blogs about all sorts of otaku-related things, from anime, to video games, to cosplay.
Eventually, she was able to figure out a direction she wanted her mascot to go with some of my suggestions, as well as her throwing some ideas around too.
I like the end result – Esther’s mascot has some unique elements that she suggested, and liked. I think I undercharged her for this mascot+website, but that’s okay, because I had a lot of fun doing this.
Check out Rehtseeee.net to learn more about Esther and her cosplaying as well as her mascot (when she posts about it).
In case it needs emphasizing, please don’t steal my work, or remove my watermark.
Watch the youtube video of her being born!

Great work Radiant :). You sure do seem to have a ton on your plate recently ;). I wonder what the next surprise will be? :).
I also love how this one was completely hand drawn :). There’s something to be said about a completely hand drawn work compared to one that also uses vector :).
Love it! 😀
I almost never use vector unless absolutely necessary. Usually I use vector when it comes to detailed inanimate objects that require precise edges more than weighted lines.
hahahahaha ASDFGHJKL; I love cosplay websites. and she’s really cute.
though the problem is the theme is completely alike causing me a bit of confusion between both sites.
but anyways good image, it’s been a while since your last drawing :L
You should tell her how cute you think she looks.
She really liked my theme and wanted the same thing, so I just helped her out with that.
It was only last week that I posted a drawing – the Noel & Mami image.
She looks great, like a Texan cowgirl otaku 😀
yeeehaw!
Definitely unique for sure. Not often you see a cowgirl otaku mascot. 😀
Looks nice, reminds me a lot of DancingQueen in her Sheryl cosplay for some reason though.
Interestingly, some parts of her ARE based on Sheryl’s outfits! Very keen eye! 😉
