Alright, I’m going to brag about a couple of things in this post. First, have you seen the new blog mascot on Pimp Your Grades? Go take a look. It’s friggin’ awesome.

Second, I have to give a little plug for the company who designed the character, Designfxpro, because they were so great to work with.

Like I said, they did the mascot for my study skills blog over at Pimp Your Grades, and I gotta say, they did a totally awesome job. Especially for the price.

When I first decided I wanted a blog mascot, I knew I wanted the style to resemble the mascots from John Cow dot com and Tyler Cruz’s website.

But the $350+ price tag at the company they used was way to steep for this college kid’s budget. So after looking high and low for a cheaper company, I found Designfxpro on the Digital Point forums. I’m totally glad I did, because they did the design for half the price the other company wanted.

The head of the company, Melencio, is a fantastic artist and easy to work with. I told him wanted I wanted and he pretty much nailed it on the first draft!

They do logo and header design as well.

So check them out. And if you decide to use them, let them know who sent ya.
