Zoomer

Hey!
It's time to submit my entry for this competition thing going on between Myself, Apathy in the UK and Scampiart. Scampiart has her entry up (See linkie on the right) and we're still waiting for Apathy's image, although He has just moved house so not surprising...

Ok, so I had a go at re-designing this little character - . For those not familiar with Chorlton and the Wheelies, here's a brief description I found on the web -

Chorlton hatched out of an egg one day in Wheelie World, and freed the Wheelies from Fenella's sadness spell. Despite the fact that they found him odd-looking, the Wheelies wanted to adopt their new-found saviour, but he didn't know where he came from or even what his name was. Then someone happened to notice that the words "Made in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy" were written on his egg, so they named him Chorlton. He drives Fenella crazy by totally missing the point of her evil schemes, and refusing to take her at all seriously. But although Chorlton's not too bright and rather clumsy, his heart's in the right place.

Now I hadn't actually Heard of Chorlton and the Wheelies before Marcus set the competition, but I looked into and and found the wheelies where cool little People with Wheels... Sounded good to me... Zoomer, the "Fastest Wheelie in the world" wears a cool little pair of second world war Flying Goggles, so I had a crack at him, and came up with -

I wanted to make him an old timer, mainly because of the flying goggles. I know Zoomer in the original was a young-un, but this is my spin on him...
