Description
The good people over at the New York Anime Festival run a small contest every year to select their new mascot for that year's festival. The theme for this years convention is "Anime - New York - Halloween". 3 things that I had a hell of a time putting together. I chose a ninja since they're usually dark/shadowy characters that, at times, can be spooky. The color scheme I chose is brighter than your average ninja. I wanted to stay away from the stereotypical black uniform and go for something more autumn colored. My biggest hurdle with this was his head guard with the empire state building going across it. I think I did at least 3 revisions of it until i settled on something more simple.

*Edit* The contest has already come and gone. My character didn't get picked but o' well. There's always next year!
