hmmm … almost end of the month already? Time is not my friend. I got an idea to put my characters into a one page comic. I’m going to get this started soon I hope. Cockroachman is being exterminated (but I think I can put him in the page as well). Updates sometime …
The Hapless Hero - character - Kirt

Got bored with the comic page … so sue me. I started another hero today. Painting this one directly in Photoshop so you should get a few WIPs out of me. I’m leaving my Legion of Loosers up on the Challenge site just in case I run out of time on this one. See if you can figure this guy out. Heheheh
Here’s the first update …

haha, only Kirt would come up with a brand new idea 3 days before the deadline. :buttrock:
His name! what’s his name?? superpowers? supergirlfriend?
Looking really good, as always, just hurry up!

eh … it’s coming along 
I think that I’ll call this one … Riptide : A Man With a Porpoise! You can probably guess by now that he uses sea creatures as costume accessories and weapons.

tweeked with the background a bit and started working on the porpoise … still got to finish up his seaweed cape. Then I’ll be almost done.

Name: David “Davey” Jones (aka Riptide)
Age: 42
Description: Davey aspired to be a Marine Biologist. Unfortunately, he graduated with the lowest GPA of his class and was unable to find work after graduation. Determined to work with the creatures of the sea, he opted for a career in crime fighting.
Superpowers: Knowledgable (as far as lowest GPAs go) in marine life, Davey utilizes the unique abilities of sea creatures as his arsenal (i.e. puffer fish as throwing stars, dolphins as clubs, jellyfish as paralysis devices).
Weaknesses: Aside from his aforementioned underachievement in academics, Davey logically has many issues with the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Constantly involved in legal battles with the organization and being incarcerated for cruelty to animals, Davey boderlines being classified as a super-villian.
Base of Operations: Montery, CA

hehe nice character! 
I love the squid on his face and the round spiky fish… Don’t remember what it’s really called…
You should post this in the “life under the ocean” mini-challenge too! :bounce:

This thread has been a pleasure to follow, what a bunch of deranged and laughable chaps, as their creator. You sure had fun with this challenge. My favorite is Riptide, that octopuss helmet makes me laugh histerically.

Pancreas - Thank you, I did have fun with this one. It seems as though the number of entries and voting is down on this one, but from my point of view this was my favorite challenge. I guess I just enjoy drawing hapless characters.
Virtuoso - Yeah, I probably could have kept going for awhile. I had at least 5-6 other ideas that either were incomplete in my sketchbook or never made it out of my head. Favorite comic book during high school was Groo the Wanderer by Sergio Aragones … so the hapless hero theme always had an influence on my art.
wildsheepchase - I think I’m partial to Overactive Bladderman … if anyone is keeping score.
DV8 - Riptide is 100% Photoshop @150dpi, the others started with scanned linework @72dpi. I haven’t picked up Painter yet … someday I’ll get it. :shrug:
