Hello, art fam! Recently saw this was happening, and thought it'd be really fun to participate-- so, here goes!
I wanted to pick a smaller, less represented country. From there, I went ahead and chose Isle of Man.

Already, I knew i wanted my chracter to be small, to reflect the size of the nation. Reading up on Isle of Man a bit, I found out they're the home of the Manx cat breed, known for having stubby-- or entirely missing-- tails. I figured, cats are small, so I'll go with that. I tried to use large props to visually sell his tinyness-- with a massive sword (based loosely on the official sword of the nation), huge boots ("he boot too big for he gotdamn feet") , and a big throne. Let me know your thoughts on which one I should pick!

I prefer the cat in the middle with regard to the expression and proportions, but I'm not sure with the boots. I like the King theme tho, maybe a big crown or big sword or big cape (King) that's lying on the floor? 😄

Oh my god, these cats are adorable!

These are awesome. I'm really liking the third option (but it might have a bit too much lazy cat vibes), maybe some sort of combination between the 1st and 3rd would produce something interesting!
