Hot Dog the Tiger

Description

New Character for you to meet~
His name is Hot Dog the Tiger. He is derived from a character that originates in the Rootabaga Stories by Carl Sandburg, same name, but this is a totally new look for him. The original Hot Dog is just a regular tiger.
Not this fellow. Hot Dog is a creature called a Mascot, a wooden totem of sorts that brings good luck. Right. Wooden totem. But he was brought to life, and he became a real tiger-creature who had a terrible hunger (nearly insatiable) that made him a menace. But he still brings good luck. So he's like a good-luck demon.
I realized that the cuffs weren't supposed to have the pattern on it too late, so I made the other one a different color. I suppose he had to get it patched.
Hot Dog is a combination of the Carl Sandburg character and an old tiger character of mine named the Ravenous Hunger. He wore a bib with the same checkered pattern.

All my characters who ware jackets ware blue jackets :P
I wonder if anyone recognizes the pattern on his pants... (hint [link])

ORIGINAL Hot Dog the Tiger @ Carl Sandburg who this adaption of him is going to be a part of a big mythology tribute to him (kuzey is a part of it too)
This Hot Dog is to me.

I don't remember you telling me that the Tiger's name was hot dog.
Great name choice! :thumbsup:
