#6 Dr. Muahahahaha
Dr. Hiram Muahahahaha is a mad scientist. One of the maddest as a matter of fact. He is somewhat scatterbrained, his practices are questionable, and he frequently works for the bad guys, building semi-ridiculous super weapons.
What made him go mad you may ask? The systematic release of the Star Wars Prequels during Grad School made Hiram lose his mind completely. In 1999 Hiram was one of the many fanboys drooling over the upcoming release of the Star Wars Prequels beginning with the Phantom Menace written and directed by George Lucas. The utter disgust and complete disappointment totally devastated the young Hiram spiraling him into 1/3 complete madness. He continued his studies albeit somewhat jaded and twisted. Then in 2002 with the release of the disappointing Attack of the Clones Hiram again was utterly devastated and sent careening into 2/3 complete madness. Finally with the release of The Revenge of the Sith in 2005 the sheer devastation of how horrible the films were, finally destroyed Hiram’s mind sending him into total madness.
He may be mad, but Hiram does throw great parties!
#6-Brother Buddha
Brother Buddha, oneness personified. For some unknown and mysterious reason, all of Nirvana was forced out it’s place in existence, many years ago, and brother Buddha is what remains. The forced physical manifestation of all that have reached enlightenment, discovered in the site of the Dali Llama’s long abandoned Indian temple, by Sam Stride the DCCCLXIV. Since then, the Strides have always been a friend to the Buddha, to help him regain his position in existence and keep him from altering humanity too much.
15 minutes late better then never. Spent the day working on my printmaking gallery show so it was worth it. Also had to use a buffer character from the Stride universe, probably going back to the Prick tomorrow.
#2: Tessa “Tesla” Liang
Inspired by the generic concept of a group of teen misfits starting a band, more specifically motivated by the desire to see more teenage female characters that weren’t terribly shallow stereeotypes.
With most of these designs I tend to be more concerned with the visual aspect than the writing, but the more I sketched this character the more little details about her occurred to me. The character who started as a simple semi-punk bassist is becoming an honors student whose love of literature comes second only to music, a musician who picked up the cello at an early age before learning to play bass, and a generally chill person who sometimes has strong opinions about music and politics (she’s flirting with feminism and socialism). I’m starting to like her.
#7 Grit
Grit is a tree kangaroo monster…. thing. She is very talkative and she doesn’t take anything very seriously.
Lillian Simmons
Lillian is Thusela’s younger sister. She has no magic whatsoever, but loves to read. At the age of 12 she was accepted into the Northern Floom Preparatory Academy for Gifted Students. She enjoys bright primary colors, warm clothing, and hot chocolate, as the northern academy is very cold.
#7: Chester
One would think that Chester must be a genial gentleman, since he does look a bit like a fellow one might find at a carnival. But it merely runs in his genes, as his lackadasial father was a carnie who married a gypsy woman. This lack of stability in Chester’s life resulted in a great resentment towards that frivolous activity commonly referred to as ” having fun”. And so Chester is not the friendliest fellow. Most of his time is divided between bemoaning the current state of affairs, glorifying the “good old days”, and chasing young ruffians off of his pristine lawn.
