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

#30 Aliborg
A hideous combination of man, machine and aligator! He also hosts a cooking show “Sewer Cookin'”, which has millions of viewers.
#28 Andromeda Bishop
Another representative from the Andromeda galaxy for my Sci Fi comic in development.
Characters 10-20/30
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.

#23 The Infamous Knife Stealing Sun
#6, 7
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
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”. Â 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
 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.

11/28/2012: Lumpy Holger, Mutant Bounty Hunter
NAME: Lumpy Holger  SPECIES: Human (Mutated)  ORIGIN: Tunnelworld
Hailing from the surface wastes of Eden Prime (known colloquially as “Tunnelworld”), Lumpy suffers from a degenerative disease, a result of his prolonged exposure to the engineered mutagens plaguing his home environment. With little time left on the clock before he expires, Lumpy has come to nexus city seeking one last bounty.
