Buu chan:

1 Theme specificate,.  (Note – our convention is family friendly, so keep it pg  and below)

2. Cosplaying as some of your favorite anime characters (Remember Buu chan must still be a Japanese pot belly pig – which is parody art). This includes chibi figures.

3.  Buu chan in traditional Japanese dress from any era or folklore.

Please note that Buu chan has some features which are unique to him.  look at other Buu chan art on the site and note his eyes, nose and face shape.  

Non Buu chan:

1.  Misc.  Images of a Japanese theme which do not contain Buu chan.  This is your chance to think out of the box.

Pitmaster:

Based on Anime Iowa cannon, he is a BBQ chef with an obsession for Pork BBQ.  He is the Villain to Buu chan’s Hero.  He wears the official white double breasted chef’s jacket, sometimes he sports a chef’s hat, and he wields a spatula and a grilling fork.  He also has a menacing grin.
