Wow, what a challenge!
This challenge was amazing. I’ve learned a lot about my artistic self as a result of this, as I have never before completed a challenge like this one. I drew more art in a month than I have ever done in a semester at college.
Waking up every morning in November to draw a character was exactly what I needed.
I saw some of the most amazing stuff by artists who gave their all and best, everyday! Thanks for doing so. I’ve definitely got some new favorite artists as a result of this.
In closing, I’d like to say congratulations to us all for completing the 2012 30 characters challenge.
Now that it is done, I’ve got some great inspiration, momentum, and 30 new characters to animate now.
Well, I better get started.
Cheers,
Tiph

Namaste
Sa Sekhem Sahu

#27 Blue Magnetic Night
Blue Magnetic Night, she’s the perfect Joan of Arc figure except for one thing- malfunctioning armor. Greavus, the blacksmith, forgot to use her special kind of metal.
Blue Magnetic Night says, ” I unify in order to Dream, attracting Intuition. I seal the input of abundance with the magnetic tone of purpose.”
#26 White Cosmic Wind
White Cosmic Wind runs a small parcel delivery service for the entire galaxy. Since he is Cosmic, his reach is far and wide and at any time. With his Mech-A-Owls (short for mechanical automated owls) he makes deliveries to hell and back, or just about anywhere from this dimension to the next, or from that continent to this one, or from this planet to the next one, or from here to there, or from…well you get the idea. Just between you and me though, he’d rather be called a mail carrier than a time lord because it gives him some place to start, and 2063 is a good place to start.
White Cosmic Wind says, “I Endure in order to communicate transcending breath. I seal the input of spirit with the cosmic tone of presence. I am guided by the power of death.”
#25 Red Crystal Dragon
Red Crystal Dragon. “I dedicate in order to nurture, universalizing Being. I seal the input of birth with the crystal tone of cooperation. I am guided by the power of space.”
#24 Yellow Spectral Sun
Yellow Spectral Sun speaks to me in ways that words can not describe. For now, she will say this, “I Dissolve in order to Enlighten releasing Life. I seal the matrix of universal Fire with the spectral tone of liberation.”
#23 Blue Planetary Storm
Blue Planetary Storm can make it rain from his hands. He wears his father’s old whirling hat in order to twirl better when he waters his plants. Some call him a great farmer because his plants are always so big and happy. Some even call him an unnatural miracle during times of drought. Others quite simply call him, Mr. Make It Rain.
Blue Planetary Storm says, “I perfect in order to catalyze, producing energy. I seal the matrix of Self-Generation with the planetary tone of Manifestation! I am guided by the power of accomplishment.”
#22 White Solar Mirror
White Solar Mirror. “I Pulse in order to Reflect, Realizing Order. I seal the matrix of Endlessness with the Solar tone of intention. I am guided by the power of Timelessness.”
#21 Red Galactic Earth
Red Galactic Earth is a witchdoctor with goodie bags and stash boxes, if you know what I mean. On special occasions you’ll find him hopping around on Fly Jumpers just to feel closer to his maker. Plus, it makes him look spectacular and odd…as if he didn’t already. He never knows who might be watching him conduct his rituals under the pale moon light.

#16 Yellow Electric Human
I’m Yellow Electric Human. My idol is Tesla. If Tesla were around now, he’d marvel at the idea of, and at the exquisiteness of, a so called  “electric human” whose  own originating source of power came from within. My body can generate enough electricity to provide power to one residential structure, as determined by testing my generative abilities in my parents garage. People are afraid of me though. They say they don’t know what to do with someone like me. I say, let me make my inventions and save the world.
#15 Blue Lunar Monkey
Blue Lunar Monkey is a scientist who became homeless. Using her knowledge of highly advanced sciences she is able to bring the worlds of magic and imagination to the present physical reality. She’s demonstrated this in the laboratory. Everybody laughed and said it couldn’t be. She lost her job and became sad. Little did she know that her experiment caught the attention of a very curious few. The experiment has been done before and nobody else could create the magic except for her. Â Someone else has bigger plans for her….ability.

White Magnetic Dog has a good heart and abundant loyalty. He rescues kittens from abandon buildings and has honored himself with the righteous duty of finding the little kitties good homes. He has won a plethora of good samaritan rewards as we can see by his tasty pile of doggie treats, tennis balls, stuffed animals, and stinky socks.

# 11 Blue Spectral Hand
Blue Spectral Hand is an invisible assassin. Called upon whenever there is trouble, Ningyo summons her from her ShakÅki-dogÅ«Â to wage justice and bring revenge.

#10 White Planetary World-Bridger
White Planetary World-Bridger says, ” I perfect in order to equalize producing opportunity. I seal the store of death with the planetary tone of manifestation. I am guided by the power of Timelessness.”
#9 Red Solar Serpent
I was on a mission inside of a destroyed and  burning underground base whose  main entrance had become inaccessible. As I ran for cover, much to my surprise, an earlier explosion had created a second entrance to a lost cavern where I found these two, Red Solar Serpents. More like, they found me. Once dwelling on the outside in the hot desert sun, they belonged to an old sisterhood of serpentoids… of varying degree. Some of them have wings and some of them do not. I didn’t feel as though I was in the presence of predators, but that I was in the presence of gods that wanted to show me the way back to the surface, however not before meeting the rest of them…
#8 Yellow Galactic Seed
Yellow Galactic Seed. It’s the beginning of time. We all had to come from somewhere. Vomatha, our home planet, was seeded 200 million years ago by the Rulers of the Dragon in the sky. All Vomathans, that is, every animal, every living creature that inhabits this planet, no matter how exotic or unique from one another, has one common ancestor, Yellow Galactic Seed. How the seed changed from a capsulized hemoglobin like pod into a multitude of beings remains a mystery that only the Goddess can unveil to us. This is the first time I’ve seen my own…our own pre-birth existence. Welcome to Vomathan History 101.
#7 Blue Resonant Night
Blue Resonant Night has high hopes. He says, ” I channel in order to dream, inspiring intuition. I seal the input of Abundance with the resonant tone of Attunement. I am guided by the power of vision.”

Red Overtone Dragon is ancient. He meets Initiates in a dark cave on a mountain inside the Dream World. Then he makes participants fight him with a burning sword to see if they’re good enough. He’s quick and we’re only human. Of course he’s going to let us win. His technique is amazing like the butterflies and the bees. He wants to see how far we’ll go. I can’t believe my eyes.
#4 Yellow Self-Existing Sun
Flowers grow from the ground she walks on. Yellow Self-Existing Sun, after she’s had her morning black tea, walks the market to pass out some of her flowers. She’s not afraid to give YOU one either.
