Day 20 and 21 – Dave and Ariella the Elven Warrior Queen
Dave is a socially awkward but brilliant hacker. He did however cross the wrong crowd and is now on the run from several mob hitmen. One day, somehow, Ariella, a fantasy character he had created in a video game became flesh and blood. Ariella is pretty annoyed with Dave, her creator who she considers a very creepy loser. However, since she suspects that they are linked and that his death would probably mean the end of her existence too, she is forced to protect him from the various hitmen gunning for him.
Day 14 – Earth-80s Sinclair
I had to design eighties-inspired parallel-earth counterparts for the characters of my webcomic.
Day 13 – Mictlantecuhtli
A super-powered assassin for hire that believes that he is the reincarnation of an Aztec death god.
Day 12 – The Ascendant
A Technopath superhero I’m developing for a potential comics that’s been in my head for a while.
Day 10 – Tom Cockpit, Agent of iBrother
I was in a superspy mood, having watched The Avengers and Skyfall during the weekend.
Day 8 – ShH
A former chemistry professor, the man only now known as ShH gradually developed a uncontrollable hatred of small talk and inane chatter. He increasingly became convinced that a person willing to waste his breathe will waste his life. He then decided that it was his mission to kill these tragic waste of skins with mustard gas, believing that he’s only putting them out of their misery.
Tomorrow, something less gloomy, hopefully…
Day 7 – Lena, Cyberthief
I am a huge fan of cyberpunk so I had to at least make one character cyberpunkish.
Day 5 – Jack Rupert and Battle Fox
Jack was just a normal kid with an overactive imagination until one day where his imaginary battle monster friend, by some unexplained phenomenon, took material form. They now fight crime…
Day 4 – Abraxas
Abraxas, or “Abby” is one of the few Posthumans alive. A good friend of Samael, she was part of a group of scientists that invented the first fully realized artificial intelligence and then decided to take a step further and merge with the machine, so to speak, transferring her brain pattern into a synthetic body. Just like Sam, Abby share her brain with an independent artificial intelligence assistant, ADAM, serving as her animus, her masculine side.
Day 3 – Samael
Samael, or “Sam” is one of the world’s first Posthumans. Having transferred his brain patterns in a fully synthetic body, he’s capable of far more than would be possible with an organic body. He shares his new brain with EVA, a fully aware artificial intelligence. In addition to running all the calculations beyond human’s capabilities necessary to operate the synthetic body, EVA also serves as his anima, his feminine side.
Day 2 – Brett the High Wizard
I love the idea of a stoned wizard peddling dope to kids on the corner of the street….
Day 1 – Johnny Guitar
This is my character for Day 1: Johnny Guitar, the guitaromancer. He can make magic with his guitar. But not in a “his music is so good it will touch the deepest core of your soul and changer you forever” way. More in a “His guitar can shoot fireballs” kinda way.
