2012 Challenge: M_Dissolvo

Hi everyone,

I tried this challenge last year and did NOT complete it, however I am determined to make it work this year.  This is an important goal to me so I’m excited to get going, and I can’t wait to see what everyone else is going to be creating.  I don’t really have much to add for now, but in a few days it’ll be time to start uploading and I’ll let my work speak for itself.

2012 Challenger: Gregory Gibbons

Gregory Gibbons here.

I’ve been missing drawing… it’s time to get re-aquainted.

A big shout out to Tyler, for sounding the challenge once again.

Let the games begin!

2012 Challenger: Andrew Glazar

Hello, my name is Andrew Glazar. This is my second time in the 30 characters challenge. Last challenge, though, I only got to day 3, but this time, I’m sure to get them all.

I am a caricature artist at Busch Gardens. However, I like to digitally draw more often. I hope this challenge will help me to get out of my lazy funk and get some interesting art going again.

Check out samples of my work here: http://andrewglazar.com/

2012 Challenger: Sand Izri

Harro!

Sand Izri, a student animator on the East Coast of the States. Spunky with a crazy sense of humor. I wanted to do the Character Challenge ever since I learned about it earlier in the year. My weakness in 2D animation is Character Design so I hope that this will help me out Stylistically and Conceptually.

For the future, most likely there’s going to be lots of Stylistic Retro looking creations. Maybe a few creature drawings, some kids, something classy, something funky, maybe a theme for every 3 days or maybe a theme per week.

Looking forward for the 15th of November, it’s my birthday and I think it’d be cute to have a birthday themed character!

Looking forward to this challenge!

A lil of what I like to do, here’s a character sheet of Namie, a character used in my student film.

2012 Challenger: Christopher Gazeley

Hi all, I’m Christopher Gazeley, AKA anOriginalClone, or clone for short.

I heard about the 30 Characters Challenge last year too late to join in, but this year I’m looking forward to taking it on. I post most of my artwork on DeviantArt, if you’d like to know what I’m about take a look 🙂

Best of luck to everyone!

2012 Challenger: Nathan Seabolt

Hi Everyone,

I’m a freelance Illustrator/Designer currently living in Sydney Australia, although the American South will always be home. I draw, paint and make comic books-and try to post a lot of it on the internet at: www.nathandrawsdaily.tumblr.com

This is my favorite November challenge (and there are many!). I love the fact that so many people have signed up for this already, and can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.

This will be my second year at the challenge, and I’m hoping to make it all the way through again this time. Last year was a struggle at times, but always rewarding and fun. Just being in the environment of so many great creators helped inspire and encourage me to make more and better characters as well as providing a huge amount of inspiration. Thanks to everybody for that, and I hope it works out even better this year-best of luck to everybody!

I’m on these social networks, let’s be friends!

2012 Challenger: Jacob Flanagan

So, i’m a first-timer to this, but the entire thing sounds a hell of a lot more feasible and fun than NaNoWriMo. I’m an aspiring amatuer writer, voice actor and a absolute beginner artist who wasted far too much of his 20’s not doing what he was passionate about, and now is throwing himself back on the horse.

I’m really looking forward to using this as a good exercise in stretching myself, and trying to create characters. I’m interested in creating all kinds and shapes of characters, from Superheroes and people living in fantastic worlds to ordinary, everyday people just trying to get by. I love reality just as much as I love fiction, so I will always try and split the difference between the two.

Given that i’m a bare-minimum beginner artist, there won’t be drawings to go with these to start with, but hopefully i’ll be able to bring a few to life later on down the road, at least a little bit.

Storytelling has always been something I’ve been passionate about, but you gotta work at whatever you love to be good at it. I’ve got a while to go, but I think this is a great first step.

2012 Challenger: Alberto (ZERO) Rodriguez

Me and the amazing Ben Caldwell

hello, My name is Alberto (ZERO) Rodriguez. I’m 23 and at the end of this
challenge Ill be 24. I’m hopping that this year’s character challenge pushes
my limits and helps my mind create, improve, and imagine more than last
year.

Last time around I mixed hand drawn sketches and digital art. I’m hopping
to deliver better characters with improved execution and story to captivate
audiences as well as entertain.

I mainly use Adobe Photoshop but I will be mixing it up with Sketchbook Pro
and possibly some sketches.

Glad to be here another year and I hope it to be a great one.

Good Hunting and much drawing!

2012 Challenge: Joe T

This is my second year in the challenge. I recently made move from east to west, Washington (DC) to Washington (northwest). I look forward to keeping up with the challenge, forcing myself to create and share new ideas, and see what everyone else come up out there.

2012 Challenger: Amy “Of Many Faces” Heisei

I missed last year but finished the challenge two years ago when 30 Characters in 30 Days played a significant part in changing my life. We’ll see what it does to me this year. Last time it got me connected with the person I’ve been with for almost 2 years now, helped paved my way towards being one of the creators of a new comic book, and gave me confidence in my self-motivation and determination. Recently I’ve become a more serious musician, having newly acquired a drummer, violinist, and flautist to my band that started out with just my sister and I. Thus I will likely have some musical influence sneaking into my characters this year.

Here’s when the band was just my sister and me. I’m dressed as one of my comic book characters, Dr. Rainbow.

And here’s the current full band.

2012 Challenger: Nikoli29

Hello.  I found out about this challenge not long ago and it seemed like a really cool idea.

I don’t have nearly as much time in my life for drawing and creating as I’d like.  I’m doing this challenge as a way to try and force myself to make time to draw.

I used to create stories based on my time working in a comic book shop, but I haven’t done that in a while.

I hope to make it to the end with 30 characters to try and flesh out.

2012 Challenger: Jive Chameleon

Allo one and all! I am Jive Chameleon aka Camille McIntyre  and this is my second time doing the 30 day challenge. The first time I did not get to sign up and hang with the community ( I did it through posts on facebook and tumblr), so I really looking forward to it this year. I took animation as my minor in college and I am a big comic book fan, so I love making new characters and giving them a back story.

I was pretty random about what I drew during my first challenge, but I have a theme I think I want to follow this time around and (as usual) they may follow a single story that may turn into a comic if all goes well.

I wish everyone  luck and let’s have an awesome challenge.

2012 Challenger: chaives

Hey there I’m chaives, a semi-normal person hiding behind an internet persona.  I draw things on occasion between school projects and I’m hoping that this 30Characters challenge will help me get back into the motions of things.
