Author Archive: The Horchata Crew

For those who have participated in the previous 30characters challenge, I am Pitang, or Faith Orcino as I am called in the real world. This time, my friend Joseph Noblit is teaming up with me as The Horchata Crew to complete this challenge and expand our artistic limits and character roster. My friends and I are slowly working on stories we hope to publish. I currently work with my university's newspaper as a writer and artist. "Student A" is the small comic series I make for them. Some have been posted on the paper's website (csusmchronicle.com) It is just a small start to make my big dream real.

#01: Pan-Pan de Kumba

| November 1, 2012 | 1 Comment

Pan-Pan

 

Though this year’s challenge I’m working with my writer, this character was a solo creation by me and suggestion from a friend of a friend.  She suggested me to create a character based off of the animal, the panda.  I was inspired by a college friend who tends to wear very fashionable items, another friend who part of her name is Pamela’s, and the original “Panda Hero” music video.  I’d say she is chaotic neutral since she both works with and against the law.  Even though in reality she stands out, Pamela does her best to hide herself virtually.  Pan-Pan de Kumba is her “code name.”

I feel so accomplished!!!  This is my first attempt at the November 30 Characters challenge, and hopefully not my last.  It really made me challenge myself, forcing me to draw more.  All of these characters have their own stories and wish to soon add them into the plot.

 

PS – Let me know if any of the links are incorrect so I can fix them.

#30 – Horatio

Cinny’s male counterpart. There’s a high possibility he’ll also be a mascot for the art group I work for. Well, last OC from me 😀

#29 – Dr. Tanbark

| November 30, 2011 | 0 Comments

The scientist that helps with Tsuga and Saffron… I think or remember. She was created by both my friend and I. I sorta wished that I didn’t draw her with the boring lab coat and show her awesome clothes XP

#28 – Tsuga

| November 30, 2011 | 0 Comments

Another robot OC that my friend and I created. He was a hassle to make, mainly since I rarely deal with mech/robot-style art >.>

#27 – Ms. Saffron

| November 28, 2011 | 0 Comments

I’m actually the co-creator of this OC. My friend and I are starting to work on a new story that has scientists and robots and I’ve been wanting to create a character like her for a long time.

#26 – Cinny

| November 28, 2011 | 0 Comments

I’m really tempted to make her my art group’s mascot.

#25 – Tundra Queen

| November 28, 2011 | 0 Comments

She was born with her abilities and was born in Alaska. She also has superhuman strength.

#24 – Camo

| November 28, 2011 | 0 Comments

He’s sorta like a male limited version of Mystique with a mix of the new Ultimate Spider-Man.

#23 – Sparrow

| November 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

I was reading some of the new Teen Titan comics and never liked the new Red Robin designs. Ironic how I based a bit of Sparrow’s costume from his. The wings can retract and expand. They’re mainly for steering. She has a tiny rocket backpack that gives her power to fly.

#22 – Marcus Apheus

| November 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

Marcus is an interesting character that I really want to use in some of my stories. He’s a WIP that I like to develop more. I might create his parents later.

#21 – Professor Luna Nocturne

| November 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

I wanted to make a non-magical Nocturne, so I chose to make #6’s mother. She still loves her husband though he passed away years ago.

#20 – Catalyst

| November 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

I think my biology homework was getting to me while I was thinking of this character. He’s practically a catalyst in human form.

#19 – Tarot

| November 27, 2011 | 0 Comments

Tarot’s powers will be explored much further.

#18 – The Dweller

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

This character has been in my mind for awhile and now I’m happy that he’s finally drawn out.

#17- Rag & Tag

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

Rag & Tag are just their aliases, but they’re definitely a pair that I want to further work on.

#16 – Little Stinger

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

Little Stinger was though of after thinking about Wasp (Janet) from Marvel. I wanted a hero that changes his/her size, but I didn’t want another Giant. Her wings were created by her and she was given her “Stinger” guns.

#15 – Arachnid

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

Ugh, this, by far, has been on of the hardest OCs to create. I’ve always been afraid of spiders, but my favorite Marvel superhero is Spider-Man. Arachnid is more of Spider-Woman with the fact that he was born with the DNA in him. I probably give him a better suit once I’m done with the challenge.

#14 – Muse

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

She has the jewel on her forehead to control her powers. Without it, everything would go out of control. She has an assistant who is Character #19.

#13 – The Last Centurion

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

I was thinking of Rory from Doctor Who. He’s one of my favorite companions from the show and I remember him as the centurion. From those tiny thoughts, I created this character. The Last Centurion is not immortal, though the Goddess Diana like to keep him alive. His main weapon is his sword and his outfit is a somewhat modernized version of the centurion uniform. A definite WIP.

#12 – Lost Star

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

I was still listening to “Cosmic Love” while thinking of this character. Galaxy Girl needed a male counterpart, so I created her “brother.” He is an older being, but is only given a star. Lost Star tend to wander around and likes to discover new things.

#11 – Galaxy Girl

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

I needed more Space-related characters and came up with her. I was watching the music video of Florence + The Machine’s “Cosmic Love” while looking at X-23 #16’s cover art and then boom. Most of the systems in her don’t have planets with life in them. She’s still a WIP.

#10 – Shell

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

I came up with the name Shell after thinking of one of my friends. Shell can revert to her original human form, but some of the nanobots will show on her skin. I thought of giving her the metallic form after reading some teen titans, seeing Bombshell, and some X-Men, looking at Emma Frost.

#9 – Lady Daphne

| November 26, 2011 | 0 Comments

This is Lady Daphne, a consultant of the Society. She uses her sword only as a last resort.

#8 – Simon Kingsley Nocturne

| November 10, 2011 | 0 Comments

Simon Kingsley Nocturne

A new member of the Nocturne family! Simon is more relaxed than his little brother, Richard. Some thought that Simon was going to be chosen, but he’s a bit relieved that he didn’t. He has more tattoos and charms than what I listed; I just need to figure out what they are.

#7 – Showgirl

| November 10, 2011 | 0 Comments

Showgirl

I created her during one of my breaks in between my classes. I imagined a bit of DC’s Misfit in her and a bit of Cyborg… really strange combination. Showgirl does her mission like a performance, with her best foot forward.

#6 – Felicity Nocturne

| November 10, 2011 | 0 Comments

Felicity Nocturne

I have somehow fell in love with the Nocturnes. I saw a cute dress on tumblr and wanted a character to wear it. Felicity is the modern witch. Her father taught her all that she knows about the Music, but now she’s expanding her arsenal of spells.

#5 – Terra Soldier

| November 10, 2011 | 0 Comments

Terra Soldier

A prototype name is a prototype name. He still relies on the nanobots to fight. It increases his muscle strength up to 300%, also slightly increasing his mass. I’ll probably work on him more.

#4 – Zig

| November 9, 2011 | 0 Comments

Zig

I felt like making my own speedster for the team. I think the hardest thing was picking out the color scheme for the costume.

#3 – Mister Nocturne

| November 9, 2011 | 0 Comments

Mister Nocturne

I sorta came up with him during my music class. He is the Tenth “Mister Nocturne” and is a wizard that uses musical language instead of magical incantations or runes. Richard is also a musical prodigy who is a professional trumpet player, but prefers playing the drums.

#2 – The Scarlet Fiend

| November 8, 2011 | 1 Comment

The Scarlet Fiend

This is a new hero for my roster. She prefers being in her full body suit due to her skin “condition.” Working on more details.
