#12 – Yonkey
The fourth member of Captain Fancypants’ crew, Yonkey just wants an easy life and that’s what he’s got aboard the Captain’s ship. With all the rope he can swing on and a seemingly endless supply of junk food, all he has to worry about is the occasional bout of seasickness.
With his superior intellect he’s been able to repeatedly delay the revoloution, no point starting a pesky war when life’s so sweet.

#25 and 26 – Letitia Lock & General Ghost
Letitia Lock & General Ghost
LETITIA LOCK always thought of herself as nothing special. The troubled middle child between an agressively striving older brother and a younger sister content with obsessing over celebrities on BET, she continually got into all kinds of trouble. After getting arrested for fighting and underage drinking, and washing out of basketball, volleyball, and ROTC, she shocked everyone by doing well enough on tests and bullshitting an essay to make it into a good college. She’s smarter than she lets on, and even though she’s small, she’s been known to take out some big dudes. She got to college, partied too much, and was suspended, to no one’s surprise.
One night, she’s at a party at a rich classmate’s house when she stumbles into the study and sees a bunch of files labeled ENIGMA BRAVO, with what look like bloodstains on them. The folders have strange titles like “The Innermenâ€, “Operation: Wonderlandâ€, “Universe 13â€, and “The Infernal Hive Mind of Myriad, Indianaâ€. Overcome by curiosity and bored by her classmates (“this place was dead anyway”), she steals the files and hides them in her dorm room.
Once she starts looking at them, she’s overcome by the creepy feeling that she’s being watched. She wakes up with a start one night to see GENERAL GHOST standing over her. Strangely unafraid and unsurprised, she asks what he wants. He explains that he was tasked with the program codenamed Enigma Bravo, a top-secret military program. Initially documenting strange happenings that could be either contained or made useful to the military, the General realized that the files pointed to something much larger. He was murdered before he could find out what. A stubborn sumbitch, instead of remaining in the afterworld, or getting caught up in a ghost loop, he learned at the feet of the greatest military commanders and scholars of the world he could find in The After, and returned to our world to search for a living person who could help him finish the Enigma Bravo project. Letitia Lock, he has decided, is that person. “You do go to war with the army you have,” he admits after having observed Letitia’s current lifestyle.
The enemy:  forces from ‘Outside’ — things we call angels, demons, faeries, aliens.  They remain hidden, distorting and transforming things in the world for their use. Their primary agents are The Nephilim, offspring of unions betwen beings from Outside and living things (mostly but not always human). Letitia and the General have some allies: creatures classified as “cryptozoological” such as the elusive, scholarly Yeti, and the Outsiders’ most fierce enemy: the “little men†which show up in every culture’s legends – gnomes, menehune, leprechauns — that teach them things. But these creatures can’t always be counted on, at least not according to the General.
Now that Letitia’s found this world, and some kind of meaning, she’s hanging onto it with every fiber of her being. The general sees some potential in her, and agrees to guide her, though at times it’s painful for the both of them. She’s not dumb by any means, but she’s no scholar, she has no military discipline, she knows nothing about shadowy conspiracies. She just knows that she found the files, she can see the General when others can’t, and she belongs here and she’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. And even some people who don’t say otherwise.
Under General Ghost’s tutelage, she discovers that all the things she could deal with in her life were down to her ridiculous amount of willpower, from  a knack for beating up much larger oppoents to her ability to drink people under the table and function on amounts of drugs that would kill lesser mortals. She possesses a boundless amount of energy that can’t be contained by the normal world… but makes her a perfect soldier for the war General could never finish by himself.
#25-Winchell Warthog
A low-level managerial accountant demon, Winchell is easily frightened. In the above instance, he has been shown the new revisions to tax code governing deductible rates for second incomes earned without the previous filing of a schedule 44: actuarial benefits for hamster owners as pertaining to kibble deduction for business purposes. As we all know, this is completely straightforward and nothing to become upset about.
# 26 – G.O.M.
The Ghost of Montreal allies himself with the Creatures and uses his power to terrorize.
<Creator comments: I do not remember why I named him that. I have nothing whatsoever against Montreal.>
[In 1974, at the age of 12, I drew a series of “comic books” detailing the adventures of Merrill, a 15-year-old human boy, in the Other Land, an invisible dimension which co-exists with our own. The characters I am submitting throughout the 30 Days are the inhabitants of the Other Land.]
#26: Vista
He’s a bad guy who can shoot fire balls out of his hands and he uses swords sometimes, too (Father’s note: Not sure where the name came from, but I think it might have to do with the fact that Xavier and his older brother have been watching reruns of “That 70s Show” recently…)
Thanks, Xavier

26 – Cutter by Beausephus + Son
CHARACTER NAME: Â Cutter
DATE OF CREATION: Â Summer 2011
CONCEPT: Â “Cutter is a super hero with swords that he is super fast with. Â He can cut and throw his swords, and sometimes has tricks in his swords like forcefields or a sword that can shoot stuff out of it.”
_________________________________
So when the mood strikes my son (and that is quite often) and he wants to make up “superguysâ€, “superdudesâ€, “supermansâ€â€¦ I pull out a bunch of templates I made for him and he picks out everything from the style of boots to the color scheme of the various costume options presented before him.  I then draw quick sketch, and he edits, adds, etc…  I then draw up the character and he hangs them in his room…if they meet his ultimate judgement.  Then I make him come up with a story for each character.
____________________________________________
For a while my kid would put Wolverine style maks on every character he came up with…and there were only so many re-imagined versions of that Hawkeye/Wolverine winged mask that I could come up with. Â CUTTER is the sword-guy on my son’s super team… well, the good sword guy, there’s a suspect member of the team called NIGHT NINJA… Â CUTTER is essentially responsible for keeping NIGHT NINJA in check…many sword fights that end in draws and mutual respect all around.
_____________________________
This post contains two versions of the character.  The first is in my usual “style” which is just an amalgamation of all of my influences that developed as doodle during High School and College with no real honed practice or attempt at skill…nothing is really different  or has dramatically changed over the past decade since then.  There’s aspects of this style that I like, but I am really unsatisfied with the hesitancy of my lines.  Lots of small , rounded details, overly rendered in my too big for small detailed style…lots of unnecessary layer work…  It looks okay, but it is hesitant.
The second version is an attempt to capture the simple line work in the vein of Kirby, Darwyn Cooke, Mike Oeming, and Mignola. Â I was aiming for flatter, and cleaner with an attention to the simplicity of the lines and the throwback style costume rendering. Â I’ve been really captivated for the last few months with Kirby’s ornamentation and the way he drew “tech” and equipment. Â A Kirby sword looks like a Kirby sword. Â The odd details of his machinery and almost Incan intricacy of his armor designs (Thor, New Gods, Eternals) are really speaking to me and for the first time in a lon time I am actively working on improving and shifting my aesthetic to what speaks to me now, rather than the habits I developed aping the style of 1990s.
Thanks for checking out my drawings and reading my ramblings…

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.
#19 Crazy Leica Fox
Wildlife photographer Johnston Reynard was tracking foxes for a piece in National Geographic when he was hit in the head by a meteoroid killing him instantaneously.

#24 Verbatim
Verbatim : status: heroine but rarely seen
Many within the neovidual community have yet to encounter Verbatim. She possesses the ability to solidify her thoughts of objects and animals. Verbatim does this by way of speaking the words and names of things she wishes to manifest. She must say the word to manifest the energies produced by her thoughts. She’s been spotted manifesting heavy tools that have saved people in various situations such as freeing them from car wreckage after an accident. Verbatim has also created animals that have carried or flown people out of burning buildings to safety. Â The animals and objects Verbatim manifests are not sentient. They rely completely on her commands and are solidified extensions of her thoughts.
#20 Hessena the Mermaid
She took another painful step. One of most likely thousands she had taken. One of millions she was willing to take. It wasn’t as though she had been ignorant of the pain she was to feel if she was to walk on land with legs like men- she had been warned, shards of glass and the like. Being trapped on the ground, incapable of floating upwards, however, had effects she had not considered. Although Hessenah was well familiar with the rules above the water, having spent more than enough time on outcroppings and seashores, she had not realized quite how confining it would be. And carrying her own weight- she was fully capable of it, the muscle form needed for it came with the spell which gave her legs and feet- but she had not expected it to make her feel so pinned down. So constantly trapped.
She knew that she had not been the first to take the offer, to take the spell and walk upright and on dry land. But she honestly could not understand how the others had not returned within the hour, realizing that no affection or interest could overshadow the fact that they were better off swimming free and unfettered. She would not compare herself to them. Her cause was dire, her reason for leaving the waves drove her with deeper pain and heavier weight than any her counterfeit form could assault her with.
Hessenah would not compare herself to her foolish little sister, impulsive and careless, who had allowed herself to be lured onto land by the smooth tongue of a handsome fisherman, into the hands of a ruthless love which in the end had killed her. With a smile as sharp as the pain of her steps, she wondered what that fisherman think when he realized that he had once again drawn a maiden from the sea. Before he realized that what he had called up this time little more than vengeance. Little more than his own slow and painful death.
For a mermaid was just as capable of killing a man with her own bare hands as she was capable of luring him off of a cliff. the old stories were true, and they were right. It always ended in blood and tears, and a wise fisherman should count himself lucky to have never met her kind.

Biography:
Nahid Athari came from Iran to Canada when she was just a baby, so she has no memories of it. She lives with only her mother and is strictly forbidden from asking about her father. She assumes he was the reason she left Iran. Her interests lie in MARINE BIOLOGY, but not to the extent her mother believes. She just finds it fascinating. There is really no need to keep buying her PLUSH TOYS of MARINE FAUNA. She is FOURTEEN YEARS OLD, for crying out loud.
She can read and write in English, speak Farsi, and mock French. For some reason, she sleep-graffitis her walls with the word “AEON” a lot. She enjoys SOUNDTRACK MUSIC and FILM REMAKES OF MUSICALS. She likes to sing these songs, which she does badly. ANIME is her guilty pleasure. Discussion of the latest episode of CRANE BOY (the epic tale of a boy who learns that his mother was a bird) is what introduced her to her BEST FRIENDS FOREVER. The fact that they have never met face-to-face does not detract from that in any way.
She is the FOURTH PLAYER to play SBURB. She entered the Medium well before the countdown on the CURXTRUDER reached zero by turning over an CRUXITE HOURGLASS.

Day 25: Ghor The Ahnililator
There are no concrete accounts of the origins of the being known as Ghor. One of the most popular amoungst the spacefaring beings of the cosmos, is that he was born in and was nurtured in the heart of a star. That his people were the basis of distilled tales of gods and spirits of a thousand world. But whatever account to his origins, his name means the same to all who speak it out loud or hear it upon the whisper of the winds….WAR. He sits at the helm of a manmade world ship that travels the cosmos in search of planets to wage it upon. Its inhabitants are the twisted, hell sundered beings of a million points in the Universe.  He renders all he comes accross to ash and husk. He takes what he wants, and destroys the rest! He is Ghor…To those who see the red and black monstrous omen in the sky it is the harbringer of sudden death or eternal woe…

#25 – Nadia
Nadia spent much of her childhood wanting to become an actress, and maybe even, at some point or another, a director. Â Then, in high school, Julia, who sarcastically suggested she should be an action star, invited her to a “really cool club”. Â Nadia reluctantly accepted the invitation, and followed the sophomore to a classroom in the 2nd floor.
Turns out that Nadia had been tricked into joining Julia’s group with the big emphasis on game shows and obstacle courses. Â This scam was what prompted Megumi (Meg) to devise a rule that Julia must now follow: Â No recruiting students without their permission. Â Nadia was Julia’s 4th “recruit”.
Between Julia’s lectures about her plans and her keeping an eye on the other members, Nadia feels very uncomfortable about being watched over by such a strict leader. Â In fact, she’s even scared of trying to sneak out.
Nadia is very shy and gets nervous easily. Â She also worries a lot about the possible future that awaits if something were to go wrong.
Nadia is 18 years old.
