day 25 – Jabbernowl

| December 1, 2013 | 0 Comments

day 25 - Jabbernowl 001

The Jabbernowl. as I see it, a cross between an owl and a donkey. Another term used in W.C. Field’s movie “The Bank Dick” (1940) and refers to a person who is a “blockhead”. The term seems to have been traced to Francois Rabelais’ “Gargantuan and Pantagruel” from 1532 and refers to a person with a large and misshapen head. The concertina? Well, he likes a funky polka beat. (dead computer = unfinished and uncolored – with this one I bow out say I am done after a long couple of days trying to get my computer fixed – the rest are all really rough sketches)

Robert McKeone – 30 Characters in 30 Days 2013 – Mischief Managed!

| December 1, 2013 | 0 Comments

"Daddy's Girl""Tiny" "Lord Resbow" "Danny" "Drew Fuss"

"Edami""Shroomz" "Abbrah" "Larry the Lumberjack" "Fraelyn"

"Pandamonium" "Karlynn""Bandit" "ST-4PH" "The Judge"

"Willy Appleworm" "Tim"  "Puffligeon" "The Littlest Viking""Big Cheeze"

"Louie Leprechaun" "Henry" "Aylxa""Olaf" "Ninja Camel"

"Thea" "Uhngha" "Cletus" "Black Friday" "Wee-Wee"

Though the server time for this challenge is set for “Eastern United States”… I live on the West Coast, so, it was still November 30th when I posted my last (and this) entry, thus successfully completing this years 30 Characters Challenge.  Woohoo!  But if it weren’t for deadlines, nothing would ever get done… am I right?

This year,  I tried to push the “quality” as much as the default quantity.  I wanted each character to match an overall style, and I’d like to think I was quite successful in that, even though I wasn’t entirely sure what that style was gonna be when I started.  There were a lot more animals and creatures this year than I thought there would be.  Was kinda interesting seeing that unfold.  I would also occasionally look back at my entries from 2011, and I must say, I see some growth… which is awesome!

It was a blast seeing some contestants from previous years continuing in the challenge, as well as seeing some new blood, my hats off to all who attempted it.  I’ve got a couple ideas for next years challenge if I participate… but I’ll have to wait til next year to see if I follow through with any of them, or something completely different.

Until then… cheers!
