Design a quirky character for an educational game

Education

The product is a text based educational game where the players learn correct English grammar, in a theme that's a mix of medieval times (fightinga war against grammar errors) and technology, the target audience is 13-35 in terms of age, and people that are relatively tech savvy

The character's name is Squire (if you're not familiar with the term, it's a knight's personal assistant, like Podrick in Game of Thrones). The Squire helps the player answer questions and learn about English grammar. We're aiming at a cute, fun and feisty character, that can be a human, animal or an inanimate object that relates to writing (pen, pencil, English letters, quill etc.). We're aiming for a minimalist design without too much detailing. A nice touch would be having the character wield writing utensils as weapons.

Try to be quirky, have fun, and please try to include multiple drawings to depict different emotions - especially happiness, anger, pride, smugness and even bitchiness. We will most probably contact the winner in the future for additional designs with the character.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Character or mascot starts at $349.
