When I was in high school this was one of my favorite projects in art class. We would make a mask and just about everyone made a mask out of cartoon characters with mask the teacher supplied us with, and if we made the mask out of card board we would get extra credit for it. The Spider-Man mask was my first mask I made, the next year I made Kim Possible out of card board, and in my last year I made Gromit. His ears are made out of card board.

Early Character Ideas

A few years ago I bought a book by comic artists called Action Cartooning. From that book I designed some of the characters that you see above. I'm going to use the hero characters you see above, but I'm not going to use the villans because I've come up with a different idea for the heroes, and I'm going to change the raccoon into a dog.
