#2 – Sven (the Gentle Sailor)
This is Sven, the Gentle Sailor.  Not at all typical of the usual kind of character I come up with, but I’ve sketched him a few times and wanted to bring him to life a bit more (besides it’s fun to explore new territory :)).  I don’t know too much about Sven, except that he used to be a circus strongman, can lift 100x his weight, and does not like spinach.
#18 Protest T. Protist
Cover Slip Junction was a popular educational children’s program that ran on public television from 1972-1977. Each episode started with an animated intro showing a group of kids clustered around a microscope, and as they looked through the eyepiece the point-of-view would swoop down through the microscope and onto the slide — presumably into the world of Cover Slip Junction.
The cast of characters was comprised of various fancifully designed microscopic organisms, which were portrayed by a mixture of actors in primitive animatronic suits, and puppets.
Protest T. Protest was one of the “Protozoa Pals” – single celled organisms that taught children the alphabet by spelling out words using their letter-shaped organelles. His gimmick was perpetually disagreeing with all the other protozoa, usually in matters regarding spelling and grammar. The image above was taken from the short-lived Marvel comics adaptation from 1980.
