For this month's challenge I went for a cannoneer Hero alongside a mysterious egg pet.
I went for a big and heavy look on the hero while adding some "funny" features like the birds on his head, the lollipop in his mouth and his red cheeks.

I picked a cannon for his weapon which he mainly uses to melee attack his enemies, or less often, shoot either a cannon ball or his egg pet that ricochets between enemies. In a few occasions the pet can rest (crams itself) between the two bird eggs on the hero's head.

Since it is a concept design i went with a grey-ish background and used a few concept-like images regarding action or special situations.
