Circus Mutations
There wasn't really a name given to this series of characters. They were created in 2012 for a Japanese comic competition which I ended up not participating because of time constraints and school work. However, I kept their designs as I personally really love circus themed characters and was generally quite happy with how this batch turned out. There was supposed to be another puppet boy created just for the comic but I wasn't exactly interested in him.

Story
7 youths went on a trip around Mexico to the Grand Canyons for some leisure. Whilst camping near a river, they decided to stop and have a drink, boiling the river water before consuming it. However, unknown to them, the river contained some radioactive substance that had leaked from factories. After drinking the water and continuing their journey, the group encounters many different animals. On contact with them however, the group starts to feel strange and realizes that they are transforming into the animals that they have come into contact with. Because of this unfortunate incident, the group decides to start a circus to continue living in this world and disguise their transformed bodies as circus acts. As they continue travelling around Mexico performing, the group however starts to occasionally feel depressed about their predicament.
