Wow, what a challenge!

| December 2, 2012 | 0 Comments

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

#26 White Cosmic Wind

| November 26, 2012 | 0 Comments

White Cosmic Wind runs a small parcel delivery service for the entire galaxy. Since he is Cosmic, his reach is far and wide and at any time. With his Mech-A-Owls (short for mechanical automated owls) he makes deliveries to hell and back, or just about anywhere from this dimension to the next, or from that continent to this one, or from this planet to the next one, or from here to there, or from…well you get the idea. Just between you and me though, he’d rather be called a mail carrier than a time lord because it gives him some place to start, and 2063 is a good place to start.

White Cosmic Wind says, “I Endure in order to communicate transcending breath. I seal the input of spirit with the cosmic tone of presence. I am guided by the power of death.”

Red Galactic Earth is a witchdoctor with goodie bags and stash boxes, if you know what I mean. On special occasions you’ll find him hopping around on Fly Jumpers just to feel closer to his maker.

#16 Yellow Electric Human

| November 16, 2012 | 0 Comments

I’m Yellow Electric Human. My idol is Tesla. If Tesla were around now, he’d marvel at the idea of, and at the exquisiteness of, a so called  “electric human” whose  own originating source of power came from within. My body can generate enough electricity to provide power to one residential structure, as determined by testing my generative abilities in my parents garage. People are afraid of me though. They say they don’t know what to do with someone like me. I say, let me make my inventions and save the world.

#9 Red Solar Serpent

| November 9, 2012 | 0 Comments

I was on a mission inside of a destroyed and  burning underground base whose  main entrance had become inaccessible. As I ran for cover, much to my surprise, an earlier explosion had created a second entrance to a lost cavern where I found these two, Red Solar Serpents. More like, they found me. Once dwelling on the outside in the hot desert sun, they belonged to an old sisterhood of serpentoids… of varying degree. Some of them have wings and some of them do not. I didn’t feel as though I was in the presence of predators, but that I was in the presence of gods that wanted to show me the way back to the surface, however not before meeting the rest of them…

| November 8, 2012 | 0 Comments

Yellow Galactic Seed. It’s the beginning of time. We all had to come from somewhere. Vomatha, our home planet, was seeded 200 million years ago by the Rulers of the Dragon in the sky. All Vomathans, that is, every animal, every living creature that inhabits this planet, no matter how exotic or unique from one another, has one common ancestor, Yellow Galactic Seed. How the seed changed from a capsulized hemoglobin like pod into a multitude of beings remains a mystery that only the Goddess can unveil to us. This is the first time I’ve seen my own…our own pre-birth existence. Welcome to Vomathan History 101.

He’s quick and we’re only human. Of course he’s going to let us win. His technique is amazing like the butterflies and the bees. He wants to see how far we’ll go. I can’t believe my eyes.
