We had a cookout at work earlier today, and I ate too much. >w<;;;
I can't help myself when it comes to burgers or dogs hot off the grill.

Anyway, I was watching some friends playing cornhole (it's like skeeball only you throw beanbags into holes for those potentially unfamiliar with it), and wondered what that that would be like as an anime in a vein similar to Beyblade. (Those Shogun toys look awesome, btw.)

So with not too much to do today, I started poking around with character designs and came up with this guy called Kernel.

Sort of inspired from Bakugan and Slugterra, I thought of the Beanbags being thrown and turning into Monsters. The monsters would fight, trying to disorient each other from properly diving into the intended cornhole. That was inspired from noticing that everyone was a terrible shot (and I'm the worst shot in the Fairy Academy) and for trying to make the game more interesting since I was never that big of a fan of it. =w=;;;

One design stipulation I had with the monsters sort of resemble stitched together dolls with minor corn themed or burlap sack parts. (An elephant character I sketched has corn cobs as tusks and burlap textured ears for example). Kernel has corn shaped scales, thighs and a popcorn shaped skull as a more specific example.

I feel kinda silly putting this much thought into this when I'm not even sure I'll truely do anything with it. The idea of making it into a kids story to publish is appealing, though it may wind up being part of Bangteng/Ideaz as an anime Buster likes/Austin is aware of.
