#25 The Travler
I had a rough idea of a guy on a horse and wanted to do it very graphic, flat and have fun with the shapes and just started doing it, making it up as I went along. Â I may add some design background later.
#22 Them Doggies
Been awhile but Im not giving up yet. Â Here is a character of a dog I did in marker and brush pen on bristol. Â Hope you like.
#14 Old Teacher
This design needs a little more work but here is the first go at an elderly Teacher past her retirement.
#11 Dog & Cat collection
I created these dogs and cats for my daughter’s birthday. Â Hope you like. Â Drawn and colored in Manga Studio.
#9 Morgan the Mortgage Elf
This is a character I created based on a dark comedy idea that mortgage lenders send out elf’s to re-pososses your home when they want to for-close on you. Â Kinda odd I know. Â It made more sense when I originally thought of it…I think.
#8 The dog hating Neighbor
I did this character based on a neighbor who gave my dog the look of all looks for standing on his lawn. Â Lighting up Mr. neighbor. Although this was drawn at the end of Sept it was drawn specifically for this challenge.
#7 Zanimals
This is actually a unfinished piece I’m doing for a upcoming convention (CTN-X Animation Expo) in Burbank, California. Â I hope to have all the final colors and completed later this week. Â Take care.
#6 All American
Semi political cartoon taking a jab at the all American consumer. Â Drawn in Manga Studio.
#5 Super Mom
This Soccer Mom is ready for what ever comes her way and then some. Â Drawn and colored in Manga Studio.
#4 Little Inventor of Mischief
What little kid would not want to have this toy in Elementary school at some point in his life. Â This was just a playful idea that I had in my head. Â Enjoy. Â Drawn in Manga Studio
#3 Moldy Friholie
This is what can happen when no one cleans out the frig at your office job. Â Eventually what is in there comes gets a life of his own. Â This is a storyline that I have been playing around with for years. Â Some day I’ll use it. Â This was drawn in Manga Studio.
Take care, Frank
#2 QUEEN CRACKERJACK JUICE
DAY#2
Started with some shapes and just went with it. Â Not much thinking ahead of time on this one. Â Enjoy
#1 Bobby The Big Armed Bouncer
Here is the first of what I hope are 29 more characters.
This one just came out of my head and went with it. Â I like drawing exaggerated bodies and people hunched over for some reason. Â Perhaps it is my own poor posture. Â This was drawn & colored digitally in Manga Studio then the color was tweaked in Photoshop.
2011 Challenger: Frank M Hansen
Hello. My name is Frank Hansen (FM Hansen). I am a professional cartoonist/illustrator & artist. I heard about this challenged last year after it had started and wanted to jump on it this year. I wanted to use it to put an extra fire under me to produce some character designs that are different, fun and push the boundaries about what a character design can be. The flexibility of this challenge is so wide open so it makes this possible.
 
Hopefully I can produce a few cool designs.
