Very creative and imaginative but too commercial and anime-heavy. Interesting work nonetheless.

Great additions. Coralina looks totally real.

The concept of Teddygun is quite interesting with the blending of something that represent violence (Guns) and something one would normally consider sweet, tender and innocent (Teddy Bears).

It instantly brings to mind news of violent crimes committed by young kids in recent times - lost innocence replaced by senseless violence.

The image of a gigantic teddy bear might look benign and sweet but look closer to discover the thousands of little guns poking out all over. It is a troubling sight to behold.

The fact that the entire teddy bear is painted in black reinforces the sombre idea.
