I guess that could be a reason. I’ve never actually been a fan of those Hasbro/MGM toy lines in general, Bratz, Monster High etc. I guess those are some reasons why I created The Gothimals. They can be cute looking, but not so cute that they resemble a Sanrio character. I gave them colored irises, but made their eyes more narrow and lively looking instead of making them round.

I also tried doing an animated religious satire about a family of sheep. Again I made them cute looking, but didn’t go overboard with them. A couple of side characters are smaller and they’re pretty cutesy-looking though. Same goes for the political one
