Elisa; comic artist, retail wageslave, and fine art major extraordinaire. Sleep is not in my vocabulary, and I live off of cigs and coffee and blues jams.
#7 Anna/Andrew Delion
Anna has been scrapping all her life in order to survive on the streets of France, and the French kickboxing style Savate is her specialty. When she learns that the 1924 Olympics will allow Savate as an event, she is ecstatic–only to learn that, like most events of the 20’s, women aren’t permitted to compete. Wait… Who the hell said that would stop her?
#3+4 Princess Creole and Warrior Tan
On a distant planet there lives a race of alien shamans, a once peaceful people that have been forced into war by neighboring ruthless aliens. Princess Creole, carrying the reincarnation of their greatest existing spiritual warrior, is the last hope of her race. Along with Creole’s trusted bodyguard Tan, the two must escape their planet and find a safe place to birth their savior before Creole is assassinated by the rival aliens. The most boring, overlooked, insignificant planet in the galaxy? Earth.
(Woo, first slightly-colored submission! I was going to color the armor versions of the two, but I got lazy so it’s all sketchy… I’m hoping I’m right in saying that that crossed+dotted circle means ‘mother earth’?)
#2 Babyface Clem
They say that her pants are made from real rattlers that she eats for breakfast. They say that one dirty look from her can turn a man to stone. They say she was born by wolves, then raised by cougars after they murdered those wolves. One rumor is true about Clementine, and that is that she can’t die– at least, not by anything other than a stake anyway. An incredibly selfish vampire; Clem is rude, crude, and out to kill anyone that gets in the way of amassing her vast fortune. The victims of her various train-robbing, cattle rustling, and all around thievery have come to fear her name far and wide in the ol’ west; even if the majority of them think this little girl is really a fearsome burly man. Trust me when I say that you don’t want to mess with Clem… Unless you have a big robbery to pull off, that is.
#1 Caleb and Martin
Everyone has that little voice in their head that just won’t shut up; an all-around jerk that never hesitates to remind you of what a failure you are. In Caleb’s case, that voice is Martin–and Martin is a little more… visible than most people’s nagging voices. Cursed with a mind-reading demon by a (creepy) scorned ex, the already frantic and sleep-deprived Caleb has to deal with Martin’s constant crap as well as worrying about his internship at the most acclaimed hospital in the region. How can he find his creepy ex and get her to remove the curse when he has to deal with hectic ER shifts, a seasoned doctor gunning to get him tossed, and his ever-diminishing personal life? Well, maybe Martin is more help than he looks.
(Totally messing around and creating AllNew!Characters for this entire challenge, by the way, and this awful back story cropped up just like that. I love this challenge so far, makes me remember how much fun sketching characters just to sketch is!)
2011 Challenger: Elisa
Blah, blah, I’m a comic artist slash retail wageslave slash fine arts major. I live off of cigarettes, coffee, scifi dorkery, and blues music. This whole exercise should probably help with my lack of creativity or something? I’m betting so at least.
