Notoriouslb3
So a little bit about me… I went to college with dreams to be a Disney animator and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Fine Art. I worked in the design & marketing industry for 10+ years, got frustrated then quit and became a career firefighter/emt. I still have that creative urge and hopefully The 30 Characters Challenge will push me to keep a schedule and produce some work.
I’m always looking for feedback. You can see some of my other work over at http://notoriouslb3.tumblr.com/
Day 4: Lopeing Fiend
A monster piece for my WIP, 3d-print-and-play board game, Demonstar. Once all of these guys (and the tiles, counters, etc) are finished, you’ll be able to download the rules and parts for free on thingiverse.com.
#4 Daily Hate
A national newspaper editor who hates all about him – immigrants, the government, the opposition, women, men – anyone who gets on his wrong side. So right wing that even the most extreme groups say ‘steady on’ He gets the sales and the hits for not giving a damn about ‘ethics’
#5 – Elias Winston – The Futurist
Elias Winston is a man from the year 2103 who has returned to the present to instill his values on the present to hasted the creation of the world he lives in. Â It just so happens that he isn’t the only one who that sentence applies to. Â Time Travel is a bit of a strange thing, yet compared to inter dimensional travel it is very easy, however because various futures can come about from one present, you can end up with a case like that of the two Elias Winstons. Â They both traveled back in time to our present, which is a past they share.
Elias Winston (aka The Futurist) is the World Leader of Future Timeline designate BZ2-0002346-2103, commonly referred to as “The Age of MegaCorps” – in this timeline Starlin-style hyper-Communism was rampant leading to massive oppression of the people when Elias Winston was born.  There is some suggestion that his bloodline may have something to do with the Order of Solomon (see Samuel Bonaparte Khan) but most believe he was purely just a perfect storm of genetics and upbringing that made him an unparalleled talent in technology, leadership and genetics.  After a starting and winning a revolution over 16 years, he decided to travel back into the past to instill his perfect world order back when the beginnings of the Communes were taking route.  Fortunately despite his prodigious talents have been held back by another time traveler: The Revolutionist – Elias Winston, the World Leader of Timeline AF6-0093925-2103, whose own desire to travel to the past and change the past to match his Commune based World directly opposes the future of the Futurist, and thus fortunately, the great fighters of the world have not had to deal with his full intellect…
The Futurist is an expert in power armour, advanced energy sources and weapons, military tactics and corporate dealings. Â He quickly established a power-base in countries with a more lax approach to being invested in by Time-travelling Despots and is believed to be behind various Technology companies off the books. Â He has also amassed a substantial private military, but due to various setbacks caused by attacks by the Revolutionist, he has only been able to use it fairly sparingly.
#4 – Elias Winston: The Revolutionist
Elias Winston is a man from the year 2103 who has returned to the present to instill his values on the present to hasted the creation of the world he lives in. Â It just so happens that he isn’t the only one who that sentence applies to. Â Time Travel is a bit of a strange thing, yet compared to inter dimensional travel it is very easy, however because various futures can come about from one present, you can end up with a case like that of the two Elias Winstons. Â They both traveled back in time to our present, which is a past they share.
Elias Winston (aka The Revolutionist) is the World Leader of Future Timeline designate AF6-0093925-2103, commonly referred to as “The Commune” – in this timeline run away Capitalism was rampant leading to massive wealth disparity into which young Elias Winston was born. Â There is some suggestion that his bloodline may have something to do with the Order of Solomon (see Samuel Bonaparte Khan) but most believe he was purely just a perfect storm of genetics and upbringing that made him an unparalleled talent in technology, leadership and genetics. Â After a starting and winning a revolution over 16 years, he decided to travel back into the past to instill his perfect world order back when the Mega-Corporations were taking route. Â Fortunately despite his prodigious talents have been held back by another time traveler: The Futurist – Elias Winston, the World Leader of Timeline BZ2-0002346-2103, whose own desire to travel to the past and change the past to match his Capitalistic Corporation-State based World directly opposes the future of the Revolutionist, and thus fortunately, the great fighters of the world have not had to deal with his full intellect…
The Futurist is an expert in cybernetics, advanced energy sources and weapons, espionage and guerilla warfare.  He quickly established a power-base in poor, financially frustrated countries which didn’t have a problem harbouring  Time-travelling Terrorists and is believed to be behind other terrorist groups in secret.  He has also amassed a substantial terrorist network, but due to various military assaults by the troops of the Futurist, he has been unable to make broader assaults on other corporations and states.
Nos. 01 and 02: THE WHALE and THE PUTTY
My first two entries; I’ve got two more waiting to be colored, so I should be caught up by tonight. I’m posting them over on my art Tumblr, Calamity Jon Comics & Art
#04 – Danny, The Cross-Eyed Dog
Danny is a cross eyed dog… but that’s okay. He sees double of everything… and that’s awesome!
#4 Number 8
This is Number 8. Called because that is how the sheep is branded. It is the only way to tell this one from all the others in the field. As a talking sheep, people come from all over the country side to ask its advice, but mainly it likes to talk about the weather. And grass, it likes grass.
(the sheep is based on a black nose sheep)
Day #1 Nano Writer
I’m playing catch up. Only a few days behind, I think I should be able to do it.
Above is my first entry. This is a NaNoWriMo harried writer with a super-large mocha late. 50,000 words in 30 days. But he has writers’ block, time is ticking and the word count is barely climbing. He’ll do it, though, he does it every year.
Monster #4
Today’s monster character is a somewhat nerdy kaiju. I’m posting this from Tokyo, and feel pretty certain that this fella isn’t going to be wreaking havoc here any time soon. He’s too busy playing with his Nintendo DS.
#6 #7 #8 #9 A whole bunch of folks
Clockwise from the top-left:
Theodore Henderson is the mayor of New Effin, and whether for better or for worse, that’s about it. A traditional-values minded family man, his great grandfather was one of the founding members of New Effin.
“Father” as he’s known, Leonard Boucher has been in New Effin for about as long as anyone can remember. A father figure to the town, only a revered few seem to call him “Leonard”.
Moon-man. Called so because he always smells of moonshine. A favorite past time for some of the more unruly kids, most of the adults in New Effin have a decent amount of sympathy for him. Stories & legends of him tell of an average New Effin man, that went off to the war, and what came back wasn’t quite all there. Some tried to blame the incidents on him, but enough people came to his defense, including “Father”, for the accusers to back off.
Principal Benjamin Crowe of the New Effin high school, is a man obsessed with discipline and order. One of the first people to completely lose it when… things started happening… and point an accusing finger at Beatrice Baker and Herbert Wright.
#4 #5 Judith and James Richardson
Judith Richardson is an average, friendly, outgoing high school student. In other words, she is the exact opposite of her socially awkward twin brother, James. And a little protective towards him as well.
James Richardson would much rather be left alone with his books. A life style that has gotten him into more troubles than one would expect from a straight A student. Granted it’s also gotten him out of trouble with the authorities.
As the frequency of inexplicably bizarre and mysterious happenings in New Effin increases, they choose to investigate. While Judith feels the adults should take care of things, she decides to help her brother on account of the fact that this the first time she has seen take an active interest in anything other than books.
Shadow Flower
Shadow Flower- it’s a nice name at first- until you realize this flower kills! Shadow Flower is an assassin who moves through the darkest shadows. Between alleys, under houses and buildings, long hallways, behind doors and in closests-any dark and shadowy place is a place her to hide and strike from. But she can do more- Shadow Flower can project a solid shadow to do her hands-on dirty work for her. This projection is a monstrous form of her inner self and strikes without mercy- and without evidence!
Day 4: Mister Mustache and Dash
In the time honored tradition of old timey silent children’s programing Mustache and Dash had a very simple formula. Most things looked scarey freaked him out and caused him to run away. Pan back to whatever scared him? Yeah it was actually something normal and not scary at all.
(Today’s character reminds me of my youngest brother… not that he freaks out or anything… just that this character sounds like the kind of thing he’d get a kick out of… If you like ambient chill digital music check out his stuff here)
Day 4: Dice Slicer the Librarian
Dice Slicer the Librarian, takes care of the knowledge and books on the Armada.
Day 2 – Fuse
This is the first in a set of characters based on/inspired by my electronic devices. Try to figure out who is based on what!
Fuse is a pro gamer who works as a DJ in a popular club. She’s part of Red Sect, a newer team who have only recently become popular in the pro gaming scene. She is well liked, even amongst people who don’t like pro gaming, because she donates almost everything she wins towards cancer research, although she doesn’t say why.
2013 Challenge: Day 4- Morty, The Glib Reaper
“You came from nothing, you’re going to nothing…whad’ya lose? Â Nothing!”
Morty is an oddly comforting final guide beyond the veil.
#3 The 6th King
The 6th King rules the 6th World, Segniter, though ruled is used very loosely. In reality, The 6th King does very little, allowing his realm to act largely of its own will. Every now and then he might be found wandering the Iron Valley, or simply staring off into the Living Sea with a content look, but he largely remains removed from his domain. He is not interested in the politics of the 9 Kings, and is quite satisfied with letting things run their natural course.
Day 3- UrtÄ—
So here is day 3- UrtÄ— the Reaper. I did some research on reapers and really liked the idea of the Baltic version. Here’s the wiki article on reapers I used.
Day 2- Roxana
Gosh darned internet and scanner went down yesterday when I got off from work. Finally getting things set up correctly again. Here is my sphinx! Roxana. I had to try really hard to not draw her like I draw my existing sphynxy-ladies XD
