Here we have a slideshow for the 30 Character Challenge 2011. This is the second time I participate, but the first time I actually register as a participant. The point was to create a character daily and post it in the site. A lot of participants were able to do them in time. I missed the deadline by 2 characters. Here is my collection. (you can also click on the slideshow above to control the rate at which the characters are displayed. It was an excellent experience. As I fell behind, creating batches of characters was educational, as to what one can accomplish, and also a discovery of sorts. I came up with some ways to minimize production time, and explored my own process of creation at varying pacing, and with different media. For example, I started with pencil and ink, and great detail, but at some point, I had to try using my iPod’s tiny screen with a stylus. Later I would try borrow an iPad to do the same. Time dictated my method, so to speak. I was able to indulge in digital art to some level, exploring lines, brushes, and colors, as I went along. Now I feel a bit more capable when its time to create something on the run.
I hope you like the slideshow. You can see my final post, with thumbnails, and links to each creation, to be viewed at your own pace, by clicking here.
This was a heck of an experiment for me. Hope you like them. Thanks for dropping by, and don’t forget to have a great art time!
Some neat stuff. I like em all but enjoy your inked and coloured pieces especially when you pare down the lines!
Congrats!
ArrrOOoo!
Thanks Jahh. The paring is an inevitable thing when using the brushes that Sketchbook has in combination with the size of the screen (iPod Touch and iPad sometimes). I like it too. Really appreciate you leaving a comment in this my old main blog (which I haven’t touched in some time). It turns out its the only one that had a decent enough slideshow to do this in.

Thanks again.
