Streamer

This is my third year attempting the challenge, my name is Ruben Kaae, I’m a artist from Denmark in Scandinavia.
I have an animation background, but now I’m moving more into illustration, I’ve bin painting digitally for about a 3 years now, and I love it. I’m also teaching 2d drawing online.
I’m really looking forward to participating and creating some new characters + meeting like-minded artists in the community.

You can find me here.

Good luck to everyone:)

hello everybody in the cyber world. I had to drop out last year because I had computer issues but I’m going to be OK this year.  I can’t wait to get going and create some new crazy stuff. I usually have a theme for the contest  but I’m not going to have one this year. I’m going to have fun and go crazy with it.

This year was fun especially since my HC writer, Joseph Noblit, joined me in the challenge.  We created a new set, very different from my superheroes from last year.  A lot of technical problems occured, but I was able to have it done all by the end of the month.  A ton of learning happened while creating these pretty people and I really hope I can move forward with their corresponding stories.   I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s work and hope that we’ll have a more exciting challenge next year~!

This is my second year in the 30 Characters in 30 Days Challenge and my second successful completion.  30 original characters created by my son’s effusive and fervent imagination and my trustworthy iPad Gen 01 and three nibs for my Bamboo stylus.  I feel I was able to tweak my normal style a bit for different characters and different designs. Some of the presentations above are more successful than others but the overall creative process more than make up for my own criticism of my own talents.

Doing the challenge was a great experience. I wasn’t sure if I was taking on too much by trying to do this and NaNoWriMo, but an interesting thing happened. Because I was drawing characters from the scripts I planned on writing, the two projects sort of fueled each other. Also, seeing everyone else’s characters as the month went on was super motivating. I must admit I was checking the site multiple times during the day at work to see if there was anything new…it was a little bit of an obsession :)

Wow, what a challenge!

This challenge was amazing. I’ve learned a lot about my artistic self as a result of this, as I have never before completed a challenge like this one. I drew more art in a month than I have ever done in a semester at college.

Waking up every morning in November to draw a character was exactly what I needed.

I saw some of the most amazing stuff by artists who gave their all and best, everyday! Thanks for doing so. I’ve definitely got some new favorite artists as a result of this.

In closing, I’d like to say congratulations to us all for completing the 2012 30 characters challenge.

Now that it is done, I’ve got some great inspiration, momentum, and 30 new characters to animate now.

Well, I better get started.

Cheers,

Tiph

One more thing to say.

I just wanna say hello and thank you all for my being here again this year. It was fun and challenging this year for obvious reasons. Hope to do this again next year. One love to you all.

Joseph Trahan – 30 Characters 2012

| December 1, 2012 | 0 Comments

Another November done.

Here’s my stats for this year: 10 ladies, 20 guys, 10 anthropomorphic animal-types (if you include a Cthulhu-faced kid). 16 fantasy, 5 superhero, 4 steampunk, 3 scifi, 2 horror. 4 characters with some sort of copper robotic features, apparently I liked that theme this year.

I started out the year trying to be clever with characters based on idioms. That well started running dry for me around character 11, and my friend Michael came in the nick of time by exposing me to some great Chibi-style artists. I finished out by going back to some typical fantasy/superhero characters, with help from my dear Dana, my family, the Bakers and the Johnsons, and lots of inspiration from other artists in this challenge. Thanks!

30 Characters: Culminating Post

| December 1, 2012 | 1 Comment

So, I’m writing this a little bit ahead of time because I’ll be at work for most of my day tomorrow (12/1), but on the east coast, it’s already 12/1, so….hah! The challenge is over and I’m really proud to have taken part this year. By no means was I the best participant nor does my work measure up to some of the beautiful pieces I’ve seen on the site, but I did it for myself. Sketching/drawing is something I’ve done since I was a kid and have always taken the time to do it when time allowed. A lot of myself went into my sketches/drawings, and I found 3o Characters challenged me in a way that was beneficial for various reasons. For one, it helped take my mind off other things that were sort of dragging me down and that felt more like a weight on my shoulders than anything. I felt I needed to step away from writing for a good while and allow myself to think differently. My days were filled with heart-break, loneliness, and introversion up until 11/1.

My days had suddenly become about being observant of people’s characteristics and facial features. I began to think about what my characters would look like in appearance, who to base them on, and how to frame the compositions. All but 2 were done digitally via my iPad mini and the ArtStudio app, but it felt like the most practical way to go about this venture. For one, I could take it with me anywhere and it wouldn’t be horribly cumbersome. In fact, I whipped out my iPad many times while on break at work (which had become time consuming) and began sketching and doodling to get a general idea of what the finished piece would look like. Then, I’d head home and really get to work on the drawing of the day.

Now that it’s over, I’m sort of sad to not have this particular deadline anymore. I have a few other new deadlines to meet (that I’ve set for myself) in regards to my writing, but this was something unique and I’m glad to have taken part in it. I’m also going to say that participating in the 30 Characters challenge has given me a renewed sense of vigor and have already begun applying myself in my next venture(s): writing reviews for a local music site I’ve become a part of, short stories, and poetry that I intend to send off to thedirtynapkin.com. As per Tyler James’ request, here’s the link to my author page which includes all my drawings (just copy & paste or click on my name), and thank you for the experience Mr. James & Comix Tribe!:

I’m not sure if I learned anything, but I do think I’ve improved upon my time management as well as trying to draw things I’m not comfortable with.

Here they go…

Overall, I was happy with the progress I made this year, and it gives me ideas of what I need to improve on next. This has become like a final exam, a benchmark for what I can do in a couple hours a day over 30 days.

It was fun folks! My goals for the project were much looser this year. A few of these characters will get some use soon, some I already started using before the month was even over. (Pofigs from Day 9 and Leobertin from Day 2 were both featured in this video from the 19th and I can’t wait to use Tony G. Block from “day 20” soon) I had to ditch the color towards the end but still got some fun stuff done.
