Annotations:
- I based the design on American trends such as Halloween and baseball.
- As baseball is part of the character's design their pumpkin head would in fact be made out of the material used for baseballs as indicated by the stitching.
- I deliberately wanted to make the character appear female as in it seems that women are not offen portrayed playing the sport when in fact they do.
- To further empasise that this is based on American culture I decided to draw a tattered American flag on her back.
- The leaves stuffed inside the character's body would suggest autumn, whereas its stick like appendages indicate a scarecrow which can also be related to Halloween, plus it has no head, a reference to Sleepy Hallo.
- I also really like how the leaves stuffed inside the character float out through its loose stitching and swirl around suggesting that the figure is standing in the wind.
