11/29/2012: Prospero Banderas, Human Monster Hunter

| November 30, 2012 | 0 Comments

NAME: Prospero Basilius Banderas  SPECIES: Human  ORIGIN: Earth

Part of the first wave of the Voltraggi Uplift, Prospero’s refuge vessel was assaulted by a strange, monstrous entity while travelling between branes. Though he and a few others survived the attack, his family wasn’t so lucky. As a result of the attack, Prospero suffered 3rd degree burns, scarring him for life. Rescued and nursed back to health by the Dominion, Prospero now hunts across the Multiverse for the beast that killed his wife and daughters.

#29 – Genzy, The President

| November 29, 2012 | 0 Comments

Genzy Maskoon Saudade is the President of People in a future where earthlings are nearly extinct. She’s the president of the Networked Nations, a federation of all living things from Earth – ‘raw’ humans, animals, AI, robots, virtual constructs, that all fall under the category of ‘people’ – whether they still live on the Planetary Preserve or are part of the Diaspora. Her inheritance as ruler of earth is her access to the Akashic Record, the memory of all the People of Earth throughout history.Unfortunately, that inheritance no longer includes what natural resources are left on Earth (all preserved now, by universal edict), so she uses her presidency to hustle jobs and deals that make life better for the scattered Earthlings.

Like any cosmopolitan traveler of the day, she travels with an enhanced cephalopod diplomat, named Bacha. As the commander-in-chief of People, she’s protected by a sentient flying drone called the Baraka Bomber, that attacks her enemies with doses of weaponized compassion. The letters P.O.P. that she has stenciled on her jumpsuit stand for her official title, “President of People.”

Maskoon is Arabic for ‘haunted’ but literally means ‘lived-in’. This is a family name for the President of People adopted in the 30th Century, when more people had left an increasingly deserted, haunted Earth for the stars than had chosen to remain on the home planet.

Saudade is a Portuguese word that describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing will never return. It has also been described as the duality of envisioning, before you should, a future swamped with nostalgia. Adopted as a family name for the President in the 25th Century, in anticipation that Earth would eventually be turned into a Planetary Preserve, unable to sustain the lives of its many varied inhabitants.

 

Characters 10-20/30

| November 29, 2012 | 0 Comments

10/30 – Roxie the Racer Queen. Figured on some Mad Max post-apocalyptic type thing. I wanted to draw a squished up minibike, like Akira Toriyama would back in the day.

11/30 – Funcrusher Plus. Upgrade on Funcrusher, the 2.0 if you will. It was inevitable.

12/30 – Razorblade Romantic. Another character based off a memorable album title (HIM’s Razorblade Romance). Mostly, I just wanted to draw a dude with a pompadour and a razorblade.

13/30 – The Blind Boxer. This was the last one I’d done after a very long night, kinda copped out with a quick brush pen illustration. Blind Shaolin fighter.

14/30 – Clean-Up. After some lazy submissions, felt like doing some detail work on this one.

15/30 – Det. Robert Booker. Straight laced, no nonsense cop.

16/30 – Piggy Pig. Booker’s partner. Name’s how the criminal element in town refer to him.

17/30 – The Persistent Hunter. Undead cowboy bounty hunter.

18/30 – The Hermit. Wizened old ninja master hermit type.

19/30 – Grimace the Goblin. Another late night cop out.

20/30 – Riot Grrl. DIY vigilante heroine protecting her city.

Second grade girl explains space aliens:

Girl: “We put people in space and they turned into aliens…”

Me: “How did they turn into aliens?”
Girl: “They couldn’t Breathe”

Me:”But how did they turn into aliens?”
Girl: They couldn’t breathe so they turned into aliens…”

Me: “so you’re saying it was an evolutionary response, so they could survive?”

Girl: “Yes. (befuddled look)”

Boy: I touched the sun once!
Me: Did you need special Laser gloves for that?
Boy: Well YEEEEAH! (Duh Mr. Kiefer)
Boy: I poked a hole in it.
Me: How did you poke a hole in it?
Boy: With a knife.
Me: What happens to it when you put a hole in it
Boy: Oh not really anything.
Me: Do you still have the knife
Boy: No it’s gone. The sun takes it.

21st Century Sandshark Studios in conjunction with THE 30 CHARACTERS IN 30 DAYS presents The Penultimate chapter in the 2012 challenge from DAN NOKES Day 29 EL HOMBRE ADVENTURA The man known to many as one of the most celebrated members of the Barstow Oceanographic Marine Expedition and world renowned luchador began his career not long after his birth in 1923. He was even at this point a third generation Lucha, his father and grandfather both fighting in regional circuits and in less “reputable” surroundings. He was born as Jose Rodriquez, and though was being groomed to be the next El Hombre Adventura from his father, the young Jose also had a great aptitude for mechanics and engineering, as well as a facination for the newly born science of avionics. When World War II broke out and Mexico declared war on Germany Jose joined the Mexican Army and was immediately sent to the Escuadrón 201 fighter squadron where he was eventually stationed in the South Pacific. It was here that he met and befriended one Raymond “Manta Ray” Barstow and together the two had a series of adventures against the Japanese and Axis forces. When the war was over, Jose returned to Mexico and eventually assumed the role of the third EL HOMBRE ADVENTURA. He won many championships and was undefeated for 10 straight years. But eventually the life of a luchador did not satisfy Jose, and it was roughly at this time he was paid a visit from his old friend Manta Ray. Ray asked him to join his newly formed Barstow Oceangraphic and Marine Expedition as a Pilot and Mechanic aboard The May Wind. ADVENTURA agreed and assumed the rolls of pilot, mechanic, and often fellow explorer and brother in arms in the sometimes unexpected occurrence where Manta Ray and his brave crew come across more than fish, sharks and other life in the sea.

In the near future, the popular sport is a mix of parkour and tag–a sport made all the more exciting due to the addition of anti-gravity packs that allow for incredible leaps and other feats of agility.  Miriam Stafford is one of the top stars of this sport, even though she became a participant by accident.  Still, with her red hair and glasses, she’s become a fan favorite.  Dubbed “A-Gee” by the media, Miriam continues to work her way up the leaderboards so she can challenge the mysterious#1, the champion known only as the Black Arrow.

 

What’s this?  An elf playing baseball?!  Strange, but true.  It’s what the Bluebirds, the baseball team of Halloran College, have been dealing with ever since the lovely Serah suddenly appeared one night in a flash of light.  Where was she from?  She claims its the kingdom of Rithmar, but a wizard’s spell sent her to “the primitive world”.  She knows magic, but she cannot use it well here.

But she knows how to play baseball.  In fact, as the team discovers, she’s a natural.  And yet, they can’t let the world know what she is.  Thanks to some quick action by teammates Jennifer Kilby and Ray Brenner (the Bluebirds are a co-ed team), Serah is able to play while looking like a regular college student.  Of course, her skills can help to take the team to the championship, but Serah cautions the team that they shouldn’t only rely on her, but on their own skills.

Day 29 | Storm Ranger

| November 29, 2012 | 0 Comments

2012 – DAY 29

All characters are created by my 5 year-old son, The Junior Partner.  He has either drawn these characters on his own and I have recreated them here, or he has sat at my elbow dictating design and conceptual ideas like a creative, but frenetic, taskmaster.

STORM RANGER

One day while playing with his Nerf foam dart blasters, the Junior Partner started calling himself “Arhtur West, The Storm Ranger”.  A Storm Ranger is a space faring adventurer who travels across vast distances to solve crimes and bring down intergalactic crime lords.

It is interesting to note that Arthur West evolved as a character.  The “Storm Ranger” aspect is forgotten and now Mr. West is the owner of a Burrito Restaurant who has a super powered truck that allows him to instantaneously travel back and forth to his farm to harvest fresh vegetables and meat as well as take care of his multitude of dogs.

#28 The Mapper

| November 28, 2012 | 0 Comments

 A rider on a quest to create a working map of the Transit system, for his own edification and the betterment of other travelers.

You have seen the Mapper, if you have ever taken public transit or even hung out near a bus stop.  A little bit sketchy-looking, lost in his own world, constantly scribbling in his notebook, pausing occasionally to work something out, bobbing his head minutely to the silent output of his oversized studio quality headphones.  He’s never even looked in your direction once. Music and mapping are the fundamental building blocks of his world.  Everything else is ephemera.
