Contest Brief

Dear talented designers,

I am in need of a 3D design of an 'animal character' that will be used as my 'featured product' & 'store mascot' that will be given to my supplier for mass production.
Firstly you can submit 2D design for approval and revision. (It is my first product! It will make or break me!)

The project:
Inital US$50 reward for this contest. in the future i will need 1 design every month, expect higher reward if we are to deal directly.

The product:
Squishy (search in google if you are not aware of what it is). It is a Collectable toy that comes in many shapes and size with a scent (mostly a size that fits on your hand).

The feature of the toy:
When you squeeze them, it rise slowly to original shape.

What I Need the Design to be:
1. Unique
2. Cute
3. Colourful squishy because the target market is 10-16 years old
4. (this is a new criteria) Fat! It is a squeezing toy, you dont want it to be skinny like a deer leg.
You need to think 'what design would you personally wanted to have as your first store mascot design?'.
You wouldn't want a worm, leech , cokroach dont you ? =P

Target market:
Girls. 10-16 years old.

Cheers
