day 5- Loralie the Witch
So for today’s viewing pleasure we have Loralie the Witch. I’m not sure why I made her aqua, but I have a feeling its from all the magic she uses tainting her skin *shrugs*. I had fun making a non-gruesome witch.
#3 Percy Sutton: Artesianal Vegan Baker
Percy has been baking since the age of 4. It’s been a lifelong passion of his, starting with his older sisters old EZ Bake. Of course, as a child, he was often left to be his own taste tester, & as a result was always a bit on the heavier side. Between his weight & his “girly” pursuits, he was picked up mercilessly. But as Percy grew older, he became obsessed with making healthy food delicious & delicious food healthy & somewhere meeting in the middle. After school, he went to Europe, perfecting some of the more traditional aspects of his craft at the most prestigious bakeries in France & Italy. He came back home, only to go & study in places like San Fransisco, & later Portland, where he began to incorporate their more health-conscious & natural elements. It even helped him shed the pounds too.
He eventually settled down & started purveying his own baked goods through Biscuit, his own shop in East Austin, TX. Opening the doors at the age of 24, he’s been baking bread & other items for almost a full decade now. The bread, of course, is his specialty. Offering six different varieties, he’s got his own special ingredients & methods that make each of his gluten free loaves the rave of the town. While his customers usually come in for the desert items, your cupcakes, your pastries, they get tempted & always leave with some the bread too. As Percy has put it, “Why not enjoy that same delightful experience when you’re just having a sandwich or a piece of toast? And it’s good for you! Better than that store shit.”
It’s a huge seller, & Percy sometimes finds it hard to keep up with all the demand, but he really enjoys trying. With the amount of business going through his shop, it’s easily the top Artesianal Vegan Bakery in town (& considering you can only find that kind of an establishment in a city like Austin, probably the state as a whole). Seeing him as a bit of a small-time celebrity, his customers often ask why someone with his skills & passion doesn’t have his own show yet.

I had originally planned on starting with this on Friday as my first but you can probably guess why it’s taken me a while to finish. Part of the reason was that on Sunday, I saw a comic artist on my facebook page say the only thing people were getting out of 30 Characters was 30 halfassed drawings. Out of spite, I took my time & went the full Tetsuo. That & it’s just fun to draw body horror sometimes. Either way, I ask you, still half-assed? Whatever, the internet’s been dumb lately, & I like drawing tentacles sometimes.
Also, moral of the story: this is what happens when you don’t eat meat.
More soon as I play catch up. I might have a bit of extra time today, so let’s hope.
2013 Challenge: Day 5- Algernon Pickwiggins
Algernon is a consummate gentleman’s gentleman. Not even his on demise in 1948 has kept him from his duties. Stiff upper lip..and everything else too.
day 4- Ysmin
Today’s monster girl is Ysmin the Golem. I realized after drawing her that she reminded me of the monster summon things from Persona. I left a couple of the thumbnails in this time too. If I could only afford my new scanner sooner, I wouldn’t have to deal with the nonsense that is that blur.
Day4 – Sophia
Sophia is a young princess to the king of the land. She seems like a sweet, innocent girl, but she is a little demented. She will do random things that make no sense to most people. She can use body modification magic which can be used to heal people or cause horrible mutations. She usually only uses her magic when no one is looking so no one knows where the mutations are coming from. The changes don’t last long so no serious investigations have been undertaken
#4 – Shurkette
Shurkette, or Kettie as her regulars know her, used to let ’em get under her skin. Until she fought back with the wrong warlock. Now she’s cursed to walk the earth with a pair of tiny human legs. The horror!
#04 – Flicker
In what remains of the city park, people can see a light in the early evenings. Dancing in the sunset, some people have decided it is a warning. Others have decided it is an invitation.
#6 – The Ivory Tower
The Ivory Tower is to outwards appearances a huge building perched high in an obscure corner of the Canadian Rockies, but further inspection reveals far more than meets this initial inspection. Â For one the white substance it is clad in is not rock but carved vertebrae from some gigantic animal. Â Secondly, records of the building go back as far as anyone was present in the area, and appears in the legends of the native peoples. Â No one knows how it got there or what it was originally for, but to those in the know, it represents the most terrifying intellect on the planet. Â What isn’t obvious from the outside is that 98% of this titanic structure is filled with something resembling brain matter, and it is active and conscious.
The remaining 2% represents a slender spiral staircase at its core while lead up to a small spherical room where one may interact with the Tower, though the front door of the place only opens to exceptional intellects. Â What little is known about the tower is that not only does it possess tremendous brainpower, but telepathic powers on an incalculable scale, suggestions are that it works to the point where it manipulates the basic thoughts of the entire planet if not further in subtle ways, trying to steer us towards some future goal. Â It also seems to have access to communications and be able to make trillions of subtle alterations per second to messages passed, although to what ends these happen no-one knows. Â No one has been able to ascertain what its eventual goals are, and while those who do get admittance may ask for any knowledge in the world l (excepting things about itself), doing so is playing with fire, as even though it always seems to answer truthfully who knows what subtle plots the Tower sets up with its answers…
Day 4: Lopeing Fiend
A monster piece for my WIP, 3d-print-and-play board game, Demonstar. Once all of these guys (and the tiles, counters, etc) are finished, you’ll be able to download the rules and parts for free on thingiverse.com.
#6 #7 #8 #9 A whole bunch of folks
Clockwise from the top-left:
Theodore Henderson is the mayor of New Effin, and whether for better or for worse, that’s about it. A traditional-values minded family man, his great grandfather was one of the founding members of New Effin.
“Father” as he’s known, Leonard Boucher has been in New Effin for about as long as anyone can remember. A father figure to the town, only a revered few seem to call him “Leonard”.
Moon-man. Called so because he always smells of moonshine. A favorite past time for some of the more unruly kids, most of the adults in New Effin have a decent amount of sympathy for him. Stories & legends of him tell of an average New Effin man, that went off to the war, and what came back wasn’t quite all there. Some tried to blame the incidents on him, but enough people came to his defense, including “Father”, for the accusers to back off.
Principal Benjamin Crowe of the New Effin high school, is a man obsessed with discipline and order. One of the first people to completely lose it when… things started happening… and point an accusing finger at Beatrice Baker and Herbert Wright.
#4 #5 Judith and James Richardson
Judith Richardson is an average, friendly, outgoing high school student. In other words, she is the exact opposite of her socially awkward twin brother, James. And a little protective towards him as well.
James Richardson would much rather be left alone with his books. A life style that has gotten him into more troubles than one would expect from a straight A student. Granted it’s also gotten him out of trouble with the authorities.
As the frequency of inexplicably bizarre and mysterious happenings in New Effin increases, they choose to investigate. While Judith feels the adults should take care of things, she decides to help her brother on account of the fact that this the first time she has seen take an active interest in anything other than books.
2013 Challenge: Day 4- Morty, The Glib Reaper
“You came from nothing, you’re going to nothing…whad’ya lose? Â Nothing!”
Morty is an oddly comforting final guide beyond the veil.
Day 3- UrtÄ—
So here is day 3- UrtÄ— the Reaper. I did some research on reapers and really liked the idea of the Baltic version. Here’s the wiki article on reapers I used.
#3 Virginia Creeper
On certain moonless nights, deep in the thick, pungent Virginia wetland known as the ‘Great Dismal Swamp‘ , you might have the misfortune of stumbling upon the Virginia Creeper. Some believe it to be the spirit of a jilted ex-lover murdered in the swamp bent on revenge , while others explain it as an ancient Native American curse set on the land in a frantic flight from their territory. Whichever theory you think is true, just be wary in the swamp on those damp moonless nights because that old pile of branches and vines you’re resting on may not be what it seems…!
#3 Visiting spider
Hey mind if me and 50,000 of my closest friends and family move into your house since it is getting cold? Â *inspiration….got bit today.
#03 – “Dirk Hunter”
With the increase in paranormal activity, the city has seen an influx of people who are, for their own reasons, interested in making contact with the dead. Some want proof of an afterlife, others come to have their beliefs validated, and some, like “Dirk†here, are in it for the machismo. And the money, of course.
Host of his own show on cable TV, Dirk’s contribution to the culture of prime time is a televised tour through abandoned buildings, where every blurry rat and mote of dust is evidence of the angry undead. For some people, seeking out the restless spirits of the dead might seem somewhat unhinged, but for Dirk Hunter — not his real name, of course — it’s a chance to prove your manhood, and on national TV no less.
Day 3: Privateer Commando
Finally got my printer up and running again! As such, I should have 3D prints of these guys from here on out. The pieces are pretty small (about 20mm tall) so a lot of the detail won’t show through, but they’re serviceable boardgame pieces at this size to be sure.
#3 Eugene Bennett
Eugene, for most of his life has been the resident outcast & trouble maker. Or at least labeled as such.
As the small town of New Effin started turning on the out of town reporters, they found an unlikely ally in Eugene.
Will the veteran reporters & rowdy teenager be able to put their differences aside for long enough to get to the bottom the mysterious happenings?
#1 #2 Beatrice Baker and Herbert Wright
Both Beatrice and Herbert are seasoned reporters, with a decent amount of experience under their respective belts.
They came to the small town of New Effin under the pretense of reporting on the celebration the 75th anniversary of the founding of the town.
But then, something happened. It started small. Automobiles, radios, telephones & telegraphs started malfunctioning, and eventually stopped working. Even though no one could find anything wrong with any of the components.
As people of the small town started getting more and more paranoid, Beatrice & Herbert found themselves the target of increasingly severe accusations.
What happened? Who’s behind this? Will they be able to figure things out in time?
#2 – East 5th and Morgan Park
The flood hit unexpectedly and early in the morning, as a dam upriver failed catastrophically. As a result, a great number of the dead are completely unaware of their own fatality. Given that it is in the nature of ghosts to repeat the last task they were given, a fair number of spirits are still winding their way restlessly through the city looking for their former workplaces.
“East 5th and Morgan Park” is the name given to a frequent inhabitant of Edwin Michigan’s taxicab. Though Mr. Michigan does his best to find ways to satisfy the dead, this spectral young lady lacks the energy to make it all the way to her destination. Every evening at East 3rd and Morgan, she simply fades out of existence.
Day 1: The Chicken You Would Not Eat
Character Concept by Josie Character Design by Jesse Kiefer
Okay this character was the result of a conversation my good friend had with his daughter… she told me “I’ll let you draw that!” I took it to be a challenge… so I did.
A CONVERSATION ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL
Dad: Josie, if chickens had heads that looked like a worm’s head would you still eat it?
Josie: No way! But I can think of something even worse?
Dad: What’s that?
Josie: What if chickens that had heads that were screaming, bloodthirsty clown heads? Would you still eat them dad?
Dad: Nope, I’d be too busy peeing my pants and I’m guessing petting zoos wouldn’t be very popular.
….
Dad: Josie
Josie: Yes dad?
Dad: You win.
#2 – The Goblin Slayer
Historically, Goblins have been a menace to various out of the way communities around the world, and in many cases out of the way communities were only saved by members of the Ancient mystical order of Goblin Slayers known as the Trowguard. Â Unfortunately the Trowguard have not modernized with the rest of society and in 1974 the leaders of the Goblin Communities petitioned the UN for protection from the Trowguard. Â After attempted negotiations with the organisation were rebuffed, Â a series of raids and arrests followed.
At this point, only a single member of the Trowguard remains free – a Filipino woman named Charito Tomas, who was initiated into the order at a young age, and escaped the arrests, and subsequently went on to step up her campaign, killing both Goblins and those who defended them, police, army or civilians. Â She has proven herself adept with numerous weapons, but mainly seems to favour battleaxes, a traditional magical gauntlet and pistols.
Day 02: Annibale the Vampire
Usually he is quite tame.
But somebody probably pissed him off. Come hither, he wants to rip your guts out.
