Description I actually had abandoned this character, for the most part... he was part of some TV show idea I had that was, quite frankly, really really lame. He was a guard for this evil castle, and he had Skurl the half-skeleton squirrel as his snarky sidekick guy who was originally from the good castle but was cursed or did something wrong and got kicked out.

But then I decided to keep Skurl, and then I decided that he was an actor in this TV show but then he quit and THEN I decided that I still wanted this character around.

He'd probably never show up in the actual story though. I get the idea that he was probably really stupid and didn't quite understand television, and thought that Skurl was really his best buddy for life, and when Skurl stormed off to wherever, Simon got all upset.

That idea is scarily close to Bolt and The Truman Show though, so I'm not quite sure if I should keep going with it.

But anyway, Simon. I have too many purple characters, I think...

Even though he kind of reminds me of Chives, I still really like this guys design. I think it's how his eyes are coloured.

XD Yeah, I have to work that out somehow... I might alter his colors and some aspects of his design, because this is basically the exact design I had originally given him with only one minor alteration (his metal... arm guards or whatever used to cover his entire arm, and there was no way for him to bend it at the elbow)

I might actually change the design even more now, because I was thinking of coloring Chive's eyes in a similar way (except yellow; I felt it might make his design a bit more interesting without altering it too drastically.)

Ooh, the eye idea is cool. Good luck with that!

I'm reading the description and then thinking he has a sad face because he feels forgotten.

You can never have too much purple. Or green.

I might have to agree with you there. XD

Oh wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it, it sure is encouraging for me and it's nice to hear that people are inspired by it!

Well I can't honestly speak for anyone else, but on my own behalf, I followed you because knowing that it's possible to work to be as good as you are, it encourages me to better myself by practicing every way I can so that I could at least have a chance to be as good as some of the people who inspire a young immature person like me the most.
You, Miss, are one of those people.
