A cartoon young aspiring actor who got into the school’s play of this year. He is going to work hard on his skills so one day he can play some Shakespeare. Right now he has to learn his character lines, as a war missile.

This weird cartoon guy has a little yellow umbrella for the rain… But there are no grey clouds on the sky yet.

Here we have a chocolate chips cookie running wild in the table. It is sure a fun cartoon character and it was nice to do all the small -chocolate chip- detail.

Here is the most stunning and brave man who ever lived on the entire world, ready to ride a miniature motorcycle over many absurd obstacles and get fine at the end. The amazing Mustacho, the stuntman acrobat.

Here is a kid with great attitude in the middle of a long and cold walk to get at the school in time. He looks happy, I think, because he has music to hear.

Here is a guy with a fancy suit, a cool hat and a fake groucho, all from the Gags Gift Shop near work. Now he feel all confident to make some friends. Still he’s such a nerd. Anyway, it was a fun character to draw. By the way, thanks to my friend Isaac for telling me that groucho is the name of the plastic glasses with a nose.

Here is a cartoon gamer character who got stuck on one level of this hard and long RPG game so he decided to get one of those books with maps and tips. The downside is that he just waited for weeks for the book to arrive while no luck moving those damn statues to get the little shield that he desperately needs for getting into the next level.

Here is a cartoon french fry who happens to be the general of an entire army of fast food products ready to battle against their enemies, such as the spaghetti or the meatballs. Some say that plenty of ketchup get spilled into the battlefield. They always win because of their fast deploy and loads of sodium.

Here is a cartoon boy wearing a funny watermelon styled hat made by his grandma. Shame on all those kids at school that punch him for that, he he. Is not his fault that grandma is not a fashion designer yet.

Here is a lonely cartoon office employee who needs to stay late to finish all those monthly reports. The cool thing is that he is ready with his pillow so he can have a five minutes sleep under his desk. Anyway, all this coffee drinking reminded me about that Futurama episode when Fry has to drink like 100 of coffee cups. One of the best episodes, I think.

Here is some big guy who lives in a ranch. In his duties is to clean all the horses and to feed the pigs. his old parents can’t do a thing now so he has to take care of everything. Is a shame that he hasn’t the extra time to go on a date with the girl next door. By the way, recorded the inking and coloring process on this one for a future post.

Nobody said that being in a school band would be easy.  This cartoon guy is on one, and he had to learn martial arts to defend himself against school bullies, using his nunchaku–batons.

Here is a cartoon character who likes to talk a lot and very very loud. He would go to any quiet place, like hospitals and such, just to start speaking very loud and annoy everyone.

Here we have a cartoon villain with a technological suit ready to get virtual. I always liked those lighted suits from Tron and all that stuff about virtual worlds. I guess some day we’ll can play a little with that immersible technology. I liked how the detail of the suit came along.

Not being married to any special ideology myself, I just like to believe that the human potential can be reached and that, as a community, we can fix this mess and evolve in something way better. But I don’t know nothing, I’m not old enough, lol. That why I drawn this cartoon old guy who may know better than me.

Here is a weird looking cartoon orange who got lost. He is going to became juice eventually.

I don’t know if I would be that impressed about how ridiculous and weird civilizations at other planets look like. This cartoon alien kid sure think we are funny and undeveloped. We need to show him who he is messing with.

It may be horrible to have a job like this cartoon gargoyle has. Being a monster isn’t always easy, just being on top of a gothic cathedral all day may not be funny. I wanted to add a little “rocky” attitude on this one, so I worked a little on the gargoyle texture.

Another fantasy RPG type of character, a cartoon goblin who likes to steal and assault to get some stuff to sale later. He doesn’t need weapons for that, he has his ugly face.

Here is a friendly quiet cartoon girl who is always receptive to what other people has to say. She definitely needs to start charging them for listening to their problems.
