wat. artist/illustrator going to go on a character creating ADVENTURE.
#30 Etsy Betsy
Etsy Betsy is pretty into vintage clothing and knits her own clothing to sell online.
#29 Jerry Blocker
Jerry Blocker is an old man modeled after the minecraft universe. That’s where he goes.
#26 Otter
Otter is confident enough to take his shirt off at the clubs, even around all of the waxed twinks.
#14 Steven Fisher
Steven Fisher is a nerd bully. That is, a nerd who bullies. His prime targets include cross-country jocks, popular girls and remedial math students.
#13 Alice Fester
Alice Fester is an artist with a bit of an OCD situation. She draws everything 47 times before she’s ready to move on to the next idea.
#12 Buttsa Plenty
I decided I wanted a drag queen with a big ass named “Buttsa Plenty.” Took me a few drawings to figure out what she looked like–this worked for me.
#11 Helena Billings
I’m not really one to do fantasy types of characters anymore, but I often get really frustrated that women in video games and similar media are mostly half naked and have to be sexy and have big tits in order to be a warrior, or whatever they are. I like my warrior women to wear whatever the hell a warrior man would wear. Jeez, put something on already.
Don’t get me wrong–I’m not against sexuality, but there is a time and a place, you know? Video games, anime, movies and the like just feel this need for women to be sex idols AT ALL TIMES, no excuses.
One of my more recent favorites as far as female characters go is Aveline from Dragon Age II. She’s built to be a tank, goes on to be captain of the guard, and actually wears some freaking body armor that doesn’t expose cleavage and midriffs. It’s pretty rad. Naturally, she isn’t obtainable to romance, while the “sexier” female characters are. Go figure.
#9 Riff, the Punk Rooster
Riff is a pretty badass rooster. He doesn’t take shit from anyone. Fuck you, farmer, I’ll crow whenever the fuck I want.
#8 Derek Russel
Derek Russel likes to sit on a wall in the park, bringing some bread to feed the birds. He doesn’t really have much friends and never got along with people, but the birds don’t judge him.
#7 Ghost of Yesterday’s Past
The ghost of yesterday’s past likes to hang around and moan about how things used to be.
#6 Corporate Dodo
I really have no idea where this came from. I’ve got nothing else to say about it.
#5 Kelly Fry
Kelly is a flight attendant. Somehow her airline is cool enough that she can look the way she does and still work for them. I drew this one on the airplane from Florida to Massachusetts.
#4 Mr. Dennis
Mr. Dennis is a sex ed teacher. I am not sure if he teaches middle school or high school. Either way, this drawing even creeps me out a bit, and I’m a weirdo.
#2 Pugball
Pugball is the roundest pug. He has trouble getting around the house. He was born this way. He is proof that nature has a cruel sense of humor.
#1 Unicorn Steve
Unicorn Steve is a teenager who has a unicorn horn on his forehead. It is totally uncool. Everyone is totally looking at it he wants to go home okay?
2011 Challenger: Marco Jimenez
 Oh my! I heard about this challenge from a friend and decided to give it a shot. I am a fan of character development and am really into creative processes.
I studied illustration and am just making a bunch of pictures lately to see what comes out of it.
