Here is a cartoon heavy metal fan who runs a blog about discovering some obscure European metal bands that are great. He says he plays the guitar a little, but his true passion is photography, so he goes to the concerts and take some pics with the bands backstage.

Here is a cute but cautelous tree stump creature who is afraid of getting lost in the scary forest. I like the design of this one, is very organic and I loved playing with his wood texture.

Here is a guy who wants to have the latest gadget so he can test it and see if it works as advertised. Then he’ll write a review on his tech blog and would tweet some tips for the other geekier guys. He has a sweet spot for all Android related, even if he still uses his iPhone.

I wish I get one of those fancy jetpacks to go anywhere I want. Anyway, this was a fun drawing to make, with the details of the jetpack and everything.

I think isn’t healthy to be going to one place to another, living in the outside, asking for a few coins to get some liquor and food.  This vagrant guy thinks just the opposite.

Here is a cute but evil princess of a forgotten kingdom. She is in love of the handsome prince but he is looking for someone more, hum. . poor girl to marry.

Here is a cartoon guy wearing a helmet, who works testing the safety of some new models of cannons from the weapons factory. It looks like a hell of a job, if you have your medical insurance covered.

He is a cartoon fancy gentleman who wants to date his boss’s daughter. She doesn’t want to date him because she is love with someone else, a young musician with a cool motorcycle. All this love story is happening at the Copacabana Rum Nightcub, where someday they are gonna fight for her.

He is a little golem created thousand of years ago by a wise civilization who went to the stars. Know he is all active teaching people about old forgotten secrets, he want us to go with him.

Here is a guy who likes his routine of reading the whole newspaper every morning with a cup of coffee. He also reads the comic strips, even the unfunny ones.

Here is a boy who likes to practice some Karate moves after school. He got something in his left hand and it hurts a lot. I think that the car wax is toxic. Or maybe he’s allergic.

Here is a cartoon hairdresser looking for a job in his new town. Nobody understands the importance of a great hairdo.

If you have some hip problems you may need to get some help. Perhaps a painful surgery will fix it. Or maybe some weird new technological device who can help you when walking. Either way, you’ll be way better than the other old guys.

Wanting to be a super villain using a wooden mask as a part of your costume is not a good idea. The cape is fine, is a classic but you must do something with your hair. By the way, you may need to find yourself a cool name, Mr. Masked Wannabe.

In Mexico we celebrate our Independence Day between the 15th and 16th of September. At 11:00 we start the festivities with the classic “Grito” where we say what Miguel Hidalgo said in that time. After that we lighten up the fireworks and  bringing the food, the drinks and the music. Then we party all night.

This is a healthy fantasy style ogre who knows aerobics. He likes energy bars and power shakes and exercise. Humans, on the other side, doesn’t like exercise, aerobics and ogres. It’s so good that he has to go to town only once in a month.

Here is a weird cartoon gnome who wants to control the wind and make huge disasters among the forest. He thinks he’ll be able to get some respect after that. We’ll see.

Here is a weird cartoon character that is a mix between a bird and a man. He wants to learn how to fly so he can go and see the world.

It may be difficult to be in a tribe and see that everyone else but you is a respected hunter. So you have to start somewhere, right? The first step is to ask for advice to the experienced ones so you can get into the path. This guy has to start training if he wants to do that.
