Why You Need a Mascot (especially on Youtube and Twitch) 

Right

Haha!!! Then plumb away my friend 😆 Still dont let him in the house.

How can he fix your toilet if you don't let him in the house? ... I guess hire some other plumber then XD

Not worth the risk!

Would it make it look better or worse if you gave "creepy plumber guy" a sidekick called "mr. parole officer" and gave him an electronic tether so "creepy plumber guy" doesn't get "lost?"

Kinda like Mario?

" Persona "

Kondos Eng Kirby?

Kemple T No, it's this guy from a RU-vid channel

Lol

Upcoming video! I actually filmed something about my mascot but left it out for timing and because it didn't really fit this theme. Mascots are fertile ground for discussion, this was just about their importance. Stay tuned, though!

Was also attempting to include non artists and character designers in this one. A rare occasion, though!

Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge is a symbol the same as a mascot cuz I have some thing in mind for myself for I just have the symbol I'm still working on my main character for the symbol and brand

My mascot actually does double as my fursona. :)

Or how about "persona"? And I'm not talking about that stupid franchise.

Nikku4211 I have a old man persona.

oh yeah, if you want to convince people why furries are a thing this is how you explain it. not a furry myself but thats definitely how i see most people liking it.

Damn it, you got me

Youre welcome!

Muigio44 try taking your current vibe and looking at colors that match it. Then find an animal or shape or thingy that also fits the vibe and maybe the colors. Try matching shape language to color language.

Well that sucks

it doesnt have to be an animal

Use picsart

Selfinsert?

Nope

Liz maybe?

mascot : represent a media persona: represent you fursona: anthro that represents you

Well they overlap a lot

Aw man thank you, thats so awesome to hear!

But if you have your mascot in the video somewhere, it's still recognizable

ok.

SBroproductions I'd say certainly. Another big example of someone who does that is Egoraptor, so it's definitely worth trying.

Does he know the distraction dance?

Graye Ira sure!

Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge thank you!!!!!😄

I hth sent it on Twitter. my name on there is Alkora Cander. 😄

you can skip over with doing stuff on fandoms like uhhh, Warrior cats.

Im struggling for a mascot rn

The Ironic Monster I don't know, same happens to me

Depends on your work or idea

Me too

The problem is, Pikachu is already a mascot. Unless you're joking. It's hard to tell on the internet.

Pink Wings someone had a clefa as theirs. the j wittz has a hoppip for his. pikapety is a demented Pikachu. I have spent decades teaching my Pikachu every move in the book and a couple we've developed together. we want to show them off in a series we're planning called the compendium of Pokemon moves.

The artist Happy's Cafe has a Gengar as her mascot. And that works in my opinion 👌

I recommend researching rodents and other small small mammals. Then you can design your own electric critter. That is more creative than using Pikachu, which is already the mascot for Pokemon. I think creativity can help one stand out. Personally I like to use a chipmunk. A chipmunk is such a beautiful animal. It would make a great mascot. A chipmunk is adorable, and that has a special charm. It also has nice black and white stripes. That reminds me of an electric creature. So I can have a chipmunk with the stripes. It is yellow instead of brown. I add a big fluffy tail, like a tree squirrel. I had that as a base. I recently redesigned creatures. I did take my idea of electric chipmunk and took it further. I added in other stuff to make it look cooler. I am going for a cool fancy legendary creature. Alvin and the Chipmunks has chipmunks in it already. However they are so heavily stylized, they are not even recognizable as chipmunks. They could be any rodent, and it would still fit. The exception for this is the new live action movies. The chipmunks are more realistic and recognizable as chipmunks. When I do a stylized chipmunk design, it goes in a whole different direction. It ends up looking different and unique, despite being based off of the same kind of animal. I encourage you to break the mold and design your own creature.

I'm like that only it's the same mascot in different poses

Not if you don't use them to represent anything.

Sure!

Try this one out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XrOfzk4fakY.html

@@CharacterDesignForge Thanks!

+broken mixtape Honestly don’t worry about it... a little bit of storytelling will only enrich the character!

Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge. Thank you for your advice

Absolutely! I take commissions all the time. You can reach out at brookeseggleston.com/contact or choose the Lamb of Liberation tier on Patreon.com/bageldenizen

TheMrDanieloco Probably not, unless you have an answer to the question "what about your cat is special or unique from millions of other cats?"

If you’re looking to commission me for work, feel free to reach out through my contact page for any paid work. If you have any questions about why I dont provide work for free, check my recent video called “Art Should Be Free” brookeseggleston.com/contact

I dont? You sure?

​@@CharacterDesignForge I mean the symbol you most prominently use to define your channel is the forge/lantern, not a character (which I think is a good choice). There is the silhouette that briefly appears in your intros and in your website, is that what you're referring to? I just never really saw it as a mascot since it's not used that often.

@@commenturthegreat2915 the Wanderlumin is my mascot, and the entire channel/brand is full of character designs.

Are you looking to commission me?

Is it? You sure?

@@CharacterDesignForge damn the jedi master himself replies to my comment 🙏🙏 and i mean its yo profile pic so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that’s as far as you looked into it?

@@CharacterDesignForge ngl it actually interests me as to who or what your mascot is if you even have one, if it already isn't the lamp lmao

Not only is this video several years old, but I havent seen someone unironically use the word cringe like that in about as long!

@@CharacterDesignForge what does age have to do with it? Are you saying your videos are worthless now? Just delete them then? And people say cringe unironically all the time bud what planet are you on

So you’re saying, delete this old video, because someone said mascots are cringe? Sounds reasonable
