A Mascot for MAL

Hey there, lately I've been thinking that MAL has become pretty popular and I'd like to think there should be a Mascot for MAL. A few Anime websites have Mascots so why shouldn't we? Well, the ultimate decision is up to Xinil if he wants a Mascot or not. But in the mean time lets have a little fun and make a Vote for an unofficial mascot. It could be from any anime or a character you made up yourself. I myself think that Dokuro-chan from Club to Death Angel Dokuro-can would be a nice mascot. Though the anime is pretty random and doesn't have a decent plot, she still is a loveable character none the less.

True, she does make many notes. She's also one of those random adorable side characters too.

Kinda hard to top Iri suggestion... She may be a side character but I like her alot.
...
Sorry to be off topic but if the News Crew ever need a mascot...


Announcer to the Dark Assembly, a news anchor(If I remember correctly) and many more! Pleinair is a perfect match!

I there was indeed going to be a mascot, I rather see an original one be created (sort of like the on from Anime Suki) than have a character "ripped off" an anime to act as one. Although Iri's suggestion was indeed a nice one :P

edit: corrected a mistake in my sentence ^^

Mr. Hammy!!

Is there another? :P

BTW, I don't think a mascot is necessary either. But this was fun to draw :D In general, -tans are fun to draw.

Very impressive -- Nice work!

Even though I jokingly suggested Sheska above, mascots aren't really necessary. Even if they are, if you look at the vast majority of sites that have them, they are self-created from within the community itself, and with such a talented community, as illustrated above, you're sure to get a good one here.

At this time I am not interested in having a mascot associated with MAL. Perhaps in the future, but right now it isn't something I think needs to be worried about.

That's why it's UNofficial.

Okay, so far it's between the Lovely Tan, and the adorable Mr.Hammy. Both are great mascots but we need more opinions.

But we like Hammy better. Besides, Hamtaro is a hack. He's planing to destroy us all with his furry pals. Evil I say, EVIL!

Ahh, I should have known this topic had already come up! Doh, I should have checked first before I drew anything -_-;; Oh well, I am gonna post what I did anyway ^_^

This morning, for giggles (and because it's lovely to have the free time off work to actually draw stuff) I decided to try drawing a MAL-tan. I did this quick sketch:



And then I decided I liked her enough to try doing a more finished version:



I like drawing -tan characters like the OS-tans (and the OS-kuns too!) :) I gave her the pencils and the somewhat studious look because she is very organized and keeps all our lists in order :D

Is there really going to be a mascot or is it only an idea?

I think having a mascot would be cool. Not many anime sites (at least the ones I've seen) have a mascot. I definitely think it should be original! It could be a problem using a copy written character.

No, Xinil already said up above that he wasn't looking for a mascot. I just drew mine for fun before I read this thread.
