what do you think of these characters?

[saracita]

hey there!

for a new project at work we are trying to design a
downloadable character who will "live" on your
desktop. The user will have to take care of the
creature, sort of like a tamagotchi, and in return the
user will get tips about Health. The whole thing is
part of a public service project to teach teenagers
about health.

Right now we are hard at work designing how this
character will look. Here is a link to some sketches.
