Veri the Ramen Dragon
One of my most recent and popular mascots; Veri the Ramen Dragon. They are intended to be the mascot of my personal work and creations, as opposed to my more overall brand mascot; the Coconut Natukat (Koko).
This is mainly to demonstrate my more cartoony mascot-esque design style and working with marketable characters (They have already sold multiple units of merch!)
The first proper illustration of Veri's design. Earlier concept sketches can be found at the end. As of recent, they're only drawn with two toes in the front instead of 3
A badge used to represent myself at a convention. Can you guess the inspiration?
The first Veri illustration depicting their current Final design.
The first attempt at establishing a sort of history and narrative with Veri, resulting in surprisingly positive feedback and intrigue

Art for a sticker of Veri, a piece of merch soon to be sold of them!
A narrative piece demonstrating that Veri is actually an eastern wishing dragon
a continuation of the previous piece that shows they disguise themselves as a western dragon to appeal more to western audiences
The second illustration of Veri ever. This ramen does not exist. Yet.
some pose and expression practice with Veri based on a meme

Halloween? Veri
The second ever concepted sketch of Veri, much closer to what they are today, but missing a few features (and a bit over-designed!)
The first rough concept sketches of Veri
A doodle based on the Gay Garfield Shirt. I can say crass things with my mascot for the sake of a joke. Don't judge me
A doodle in procreate while waiting for a flight. colors and details are less accurate due to a lack of proper reference. This was also only shortly after concepting Veri, so I wasn't sure what details should stick or change
