#25 The Travler
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. I may add some design background later.
#22 Them Doggies
Been awhile but Im not giving up yet. Here is a character of a dog I did in marker and brush pen on bristol. Hope you like.
#14 Old Teacher
This design needs a little more work but here is the first go at an elderly Teacher past her retirement.
#11 Dog & Cat collection
I created these dogs and cats for my daughter’s birthday. Hope you like. Drawn and colored in Manga Studio.
#9 Morgan the Mortgage Elf
This is a character I created based on a dark comedy idea that mortgage lenders send out elf’s to re-pososses your home when they want to for-close on you. Kinda odd I know. It made more sense when I originally thought of it…I think.
#8 The dog hating Neighbor
I did this character based on a neighbor who gave my dog the look of all looks for standing on his lawn. Lighting up Mr. neighbor. Although this was drawn at the end of Sept it was drawn specifically for this challenge.
#7 Zanimals
This is actually a unfinished piece I’m doing for a upcoming convention (CTN-X Animation Expo) in Burbank, California. I hope to have all the final colors and completed later this week. Take care.
#6 All American
Semi political cartoon taking a jab at the all American consumer. Drawn in Manga Studio.
#5 Super Mom
This Soccer Mom is ready for what ever comes her way and then some. Drawn and colored in Manga Studio.
#4 Little Inventor of Mischief
What little kid would not want to have this toy in Elementary school at some point in his life. This was just a playful idea that I had in my head. Enjoy. Drawn in Manga Studio
#3 Moldy Friholie
This is what can happen when no one cleans out the frig at your office job. Eventually what is in there comes gets a life of his own. This is a storyline that I have been playing around with for years. Some day I’ll use it. This was drawn in Manga Studio.
Take care, Frank
#2 QUEEN CRACKERJACK JUICE
DAY#2
Started with some shapes and just went with it. Not much thinking ahead of time on this one. Enjoy
#1 Bobby The Big Armed Bouncer
Here is the first of what I hope are 29 more characters.
This one just came out of my head and went with it. I like drawing exaggerated bodies and people hunched over for some reason. Perhaps it is my own poor posture. This was drawn & colored digitally in Manga Studio then the color was tweaked in Photoshop.
2011 Challenger: Frank M Hansen
Hello. My name is Frank Hansen (FM Hansen). I am a professional cartoonist/illustrator & artist. I heard about this challenged last year after it had started and wanted to jump on it this year. I wanted to use it to put an extra fire under me to produce some character designs that are different, fun and push the boundaries about what a character design can be. The flexibility of this challenge is so wide open so it makes this possible.
Hopefully I can produce a few cool designs.
