#19 and #20 – Colossus and Grimel
And life catches up with me…I missed yesterday, argh. I had a really busy night. Out of the house from 11 am to midnight, forgot to do one in the morning aghh…
And I am running short on time today too so I apologize for the quality of this drawing it’s abysmal.
This is Colossus and Grimel. Colossus couldn’t focus on being a kung fu master with all the devilish thoughts clouding his mind. So he found a way to remove them and Grimel was born. Now Grimel runs around wrecking havoc while Colossus tries to control him.
#18 – Jade “Wheels of War” Thompson
More Derby girls! I liked the story I came up with yesterday so I continued on with that today.
This is Jade Thompson, also known by her derby name “Wheels of War”, captain of the national roller derby league in the year 2100. She is a paid and sponsored athlete with two augmented and very powerful legs. Her leg muscles have been replaced with a flexible metal synthetic muscle. She also has a titanium elbow pad, underneath the skin of her left arm (thus why she is only wearing on elbow pad). She broke her elbow so many times that she opted to have it replaced. She also has her metabolism regulated by machine thus why she has a slighly gaunt apperence, instad of her counterpart’s (Miche‘s) body type which is curvier.
Background on this story: Miche

#17 – Miche “Dollface” Holmes
Had a dream about this gal last night so I thought I would sketch her out. Her name is Miche and she is a derby girl. She lived in Oakland, Ca in some time set in the future (looked like 2100 or so, not much different from our world just a lot of gadgets and things). Regular Roller Derby became obsolete in this age with the passing of a law allowing robotics in sports. Now all sports are played with professonals that have a certain amount of augmentation. It’s impressive in this age to be an athlete with fewer than 3 augments and unheard of to have none. You won’t be able to compete witht he rest of the half robot/half human pack.
So Miche, is a girl with no augments and she decides to start the first non-augmented roller derby league. She collects people from every walk of life and decides to challenge the national roller derby team with her league of normal athletes. Her derby name is Dollface, due to the fact that she paints two bright pink circles on her face before skating. She also wears little angel wings on her back purely for fun 🙂
Having recently become “fresh meat” myself this was a lot of fun to draw. Maybe i’ll do the same as Miche and be Dollface from now on, who knows ^_^
Thanks for stopping by!

#16 – Mumpkins
Agh sorry for the lack of awesome today. I am majorly burnt out 🙁
These are mumpkins, the little spirits that follow my character Amy around. Thought I would give some context to her characters ^_^
#15 – Ether
Woo! 1/2 way done! I’m very happy i’ve stuck it out thus far..
This is Ether, another part of my Dreamsphere story. He seems to be acting as the Queen of Nightmares‘ right hand man. Turns out he only has a right hand as well….hmmm suspicious. Ether looks like a circus clown of some sort, but has the same armor body as the queen of nightmares. It seems to be made out of the same material as well. Ether has a Cheshire Cat type of personality, usually talking about nonsense that somehow makes sense…

#14 – Tal
My brother is writing an epic story and sent some character descriptions my way so I thought I would give them a shot 🙂
Here is the first one he sent me:
Name: Talvaren’das’ren (A.k.a) Tal
Race: Othep
The Othep draw a likeness to Native American cultures in skin tone and profile. Their key trait is that they can change the alchemical property of any object. For example a piece of iron can be turned into a sword, sort of like full metal alchemist. They also carry tattoos that symbolize the tribe they are from.
Description:
- Dark skin(Native American descent)
- muscular build
- tattoos covering most of body, with a unique symbol on his chest symbolizing the God of Death.
- Black hair, about chin length enter
- heavy chains wrapped around both his forearms
- wears loose black pants
- leather boots
- long black cloak
History:
- was once a member of the infamous death squads(ruthless mercenary assassins feared throughout the land)
- tried to leave the death squad and now his partners are hunting him down.
- protects a young mage by the name of Palnar
- has a strong sense of honor and protecting others yet there is no fury greater than his
Hope he likes it 🙂 Tumblr: littlebunbun.tumblr.com
#13 – Amy
Sorry I only have sketches today 🙁
I got nooo sleep last night, insomnia yay!
Anyway, this is Amy, she’s one of my oldest characters I’ve had floating around in my head. Just your typical high school senior until she transfers to a boarding school mid year due to unforeseen circumstances. She starts getting followed by these weird spirits that only she can see. (who she names mumpkins due to them looking a lot like pumpkins. monster + pumpkin = mumpkin) As she frequently gets harassed by these beings, she realizes she is a part of an even bigger problem. The one controlling those mumpkins, the devil’s right hand man, has been summoned into the world of the living and since she’s the only one who can see him, it’s up to her to stop the next apocalypse.
She has a tattoo on her right arm of a thorny black branch that she’s had since birth. It started out looking like just a regular, slightly discolored mark but got darker and darker with age. This is her in her battle outfit. Not practical but so anime! lol
#12 – Varian, the chameleon princess
Princess Varian once ruled over a small prosperous kingdom until she was lured into a pact with an evil spirit who promised her immortality and magical powers. The spirit ended up cursing her and placing her within the closest body he could find, that of a jungle chameleon. Inside this chameleon body she did in fact had her wish of immortality and magical powers granted so she immediately started to practice regaining her human form.
Her magical powers eventually did grant her the ability to return to her human form. While she can turn into a human, her form is disfigured and she is left with a scarred face and one chameleon eye which often scares those that she talks to. Her kingdom has since crumbled without their princess so she has become a vagabond, traveling from kingdom to kingdom with no purpose. As time goes by she resorts to killing local livestock in the night and often leaving townsfolk scared and bewildered at their dead livestock and at the frightening appearance of a lizard woman on their property.
A couple thousand years later she is still alive but has gone slightly insane. Parents often tell their children the legend that the demon chameleon princess will devour them in their sleep if they misbehave. What these parents don’t know is that she really is out there, still alive and still very hungry.

#11 – Baulderackt
I was going to color this…and then my cintiq decided to mess up all my colors and make it look horrible….bleh….I need to figure out how to fix that.
This is Baulderackt, a fire demon. His heart is actually a piece of molten lava rock. He eats humans for snacks and has his shrine maiden capture them for him (who is seen at the bottom right of the picture, just for size comparison). His hair is like a lion’s mane but made of fire. He’s an all round pretty nasty guy…
#10 – Mykanas
1/3 of the way done! Phew! Jeez…
Sorry for the awful post yesterday, I was feeling majorly burnt out and just down…
Anywho here’s number 10. Her name is Mykanas, Kana for short. She’s an Orc warrior with a temper. (As you can tell). She is currently taking over her father’s position as head general of their clan’s army (He is sick). Most of the soldiers complain but quickly learn not to as almost all of them have been victims of Kana’s wrath.

#9 – Queen of Nightmares
This is the Queen of Nightmares….
Still feeling sick…and kind of burnt out…
Don’t feel like writing anything today, until next time then…
#8 – Daiki the Ronin
I am so sick and tired right now…ughhh….so i’m taking a break from posting my story characters to post a character sketch I did.
This is Daiki, he’s a Ronin samurai. His clan disbanded after the head of the clan was killed in battle. He was once a strong general, but now he’s an assassin/odd job man for hire, earning pocket change. He’s rough around the edges and really has trouble speaking to others but he upholds tradition and ritual above all else. The tattoo he has on his chest/face is a tree and for every man he’s killed in battle he’s added another branch to the tattoo.

#7 – Mister Sticks
(Sorry I rushed this one -_-)
Mr. Sticks runs a potion shop in the Dreamsphere. He is actually just a blob of mud and sticks that has been sculpted into the shape of a little man and imbued with magic so he can walk and talk. A mud golem if you will. He wears thick glasses because his eyesight isn’t very good and he is very hard of hearing (due to his ears being just leaves). He can be cranky but always helps out his customers to the best of his ability. He also loves money as any shopkeeper does and is always trying to find new (and odd) ways to bring in business.

#6 – Lyla
(phew running out of steam…)
This is Lyla, wife of Lothario and head waitress at his pasta stand. She is a humanized cat that was once part of someone else’s dreams and decided to live in the dreamsphere. She has a very low tolerance for those who misbehave or those who don’t pay their bill. Loth and Lyla are constantly bickering, and usually Lothario loses horribly and then spends the rest of the week trying to make it up to Lyla.
She doesn’t act like a cat most of the time but she does hiss when angry and she has an unnatural obsession with seafood.

#5 – Lothario
Day 5 woo!
This is Lothario, Loth for short. He is an Italian pasta maker who runs a pasta stand in the world that my previous characters reside in. He’s very kind and caring but narcissistic and self absorbed. He cares a lot about his appearance. But he is not single, he is happily married. His wife is the hostess /head waitress at the pasta stand and they’ve been married a long time. The problem is Loth is always getting himself in trouble and they spend most of their time together constantly bickering.

#4 – The Dream Mother
#4 – The Dream Mother
The Dream Mother rules over all of the Dreamsphere. She is the one who is able to turn human dreams into energy for people to survive.
Kind and gentle, but eerie looking. Her face is like a mask and her facial expression rarely changes. When it does it has to be an extreme emotion such as joy, anger or despair. And when it does change, it changes in an instant, as if some has just swapped out the mask on her face for another.
She gives Sierra, Enki and Jonathan the task of hunting down the Queen of Nightmares (who you will see next hopefully!)
Tumblr: littlebunbun.tumblr.com
#3 – Jonathan
15 year old Jonathan is the first human that Sierra and Enki meet who can actually see them and travel into the Dreamsphere with them. He aids them in their dream hunting. An all around nerd, Jonathan is picked on at school for a variety of reasons. He’s quiet, introverted and has a problem with talking back to people. He can actually get quite an attitude, but people would never know due to his shy exterior unless they pick a fight with him.
Jonathan is obsessed with tabletop gaming, especially D&D…but he has no one to play with. So he brings his Player’s Handbook with him everyday to school and reads it cover to cover everyday. He knows the game inside and out, but this odd habit has also subjected him to bullying and other nasty things the students can come up with.
Jonathan discovers upon bringing his beloved Player’s Handbook into the Dreamsphere that he can summon any thing from the book, whether it be a monster, hero, weapon or item, and it’ll appear before him.

#2 – Enki
This is Enki, the sidekick of my Day 1 character Sierra.
Enki is a 7 year old girl with a huge imagination. She is bubbly and humorous, but she is also very absent-minded and way too carefree. She also walks around in a bunny suit which she wears 24/7. She is seen here in the larger picture without her bunny hood on which is rare. She is also a dream hunter. Her weapon is her photographic memory and her ability to make her drawings come to life. In her little pouch she carries is a small sketchpad and some crayons so she is always ready.

#1 – Sierra
(I was creating a lovely colored and better formatted version of this and then photoshop crashed and I lost most of it. After raging, I decided to at least post my line work in case I am unable to finish the colored version in time)
Anyway Hi!
This is Sierra, a 15 year old dream hunter. She lives in a world that uses dreams as energy, so she goes out in the middle of the night and collects dreams which, in this story, manifest themselves into spheres after the dreamer leaves the REM cycle of sleep (when you usually dream).
Sierra is a tomboy at heart and her hair is in a constant state of bedhead. She is generally carefree but has a tendency to be overprotective and worry a lot, especially about her sidekick (who you will see soon!) who she considers to be her little sister. She is agile, fast and uses a dagger to protect herself. She also has a bandoleer that she wears that holds little mason jars/bottles. These little jars are filled with potions, spells and distractions which she often uses against her enemies.

2011 Challenger: Sarah Millet
Hello all!
My name is Sarah Millet, an animator currently living in the Bay Area. I saw this challenge while surfing through tumblr and thought it would be the perfect thing to motivate me in the month of November.
I’ll mostly be posting characters here that I am putting together for my character design portfolio. Although most have been either sketched/doodled in some fashion, none have yet to be refined or drawn with great detail. I hope to change that this month and come up with some awesome portfolio pieces. My characters are usually fantasy based and are usually made for animation (less detailed than those made for comics) but I really hope I can come up with some brand new ideas that are out of my usual comfort zone for this amazing challenge. I am excited to see what everyone comes up with! Good luck everyone!
I’ll be posting my progress and finished pieces on tumblr. Feel free to add me and I will definitely add you back!
Cheers
-Sarah
