They say that many of modern inventions where incubated in the classrooms. Actually I believe that even the not so modern ones got created in the universities, where the smart people can talk and talk and write stuff because there is not a big corporation asking for results. They can free themselves and start innovating with no pressure.

This cartoon elf soldier has to fly over new worlds to see if there is any hostile life forms and make reports about it. It sure is a tough job, mostly because you have no big army behind you in every moment. Anyway, fun character to draw.

Here it is a cartoon vampire who has to stay home so nothing bad happens to him. Is so good that next door lives a ghost girl who, thanks to her ghostly powers, can come to visit him from time to time. It’ll be boring other way, being 150 years locked at home.

Being the guardian of the supreme knowledge is not an easy thing. Every day there is someone trying to get into the temple and steal the books. This guy has the difficult task of keep an eye on intruders.

A cartoon poser creature who thinks is cool to annoy people on the streets. The thing is that nobody really cares.

This nomad prince has to get back to his kingdom and take revenge on the evil sorcerer who casted him away. I hate it when that kind of thing happens to me.

With the new suborbital spaceplanes ready to offer commercial flights all over the world, the demand of good and kind flight attendants would be top priority. This guy is trained to give the best service to the passengers who paid a lot of money for their flight.

This guy likes to be all day on internet looking for the latest technology news and podcasts. He also likes electronic music stations and those places where you can find weird videos. He lives in his facebook page but from time to time he likes to visit some techie forums and say hi.

Here is a chololo extraterrestre, that means, in spanish “Extraterrestrial Hermit Crab“. I used to play with those (the regular, not the alien ones)  on the beach years ago, when a kid with my brothers. We used to put them in a bucket and keep them for a day or something. Then we released them when leaving back for the city.

This garden gnome just wants to enjoy life so he found a nice house with a swimming pool to live. The owners where amazed first, but now they can’t find a way to get rid of him. Is a shame that there is not a mythological police that can help with the problem.

Here is this barely injured pilot who is part of the star fleet army. Very science fiction style with this one. I even got him the ability to fly in narrow spaces, just as a homage to certain sci-fi movies that I enjoy. It looks like starships aren’t easy to pilot, anyway.

The only good thing about getting back to school, knowing that the summer vacations are over, is that there are always new girls in class. This crab boy is going to see if he can get one of them to go with him to prom, even if is like 10 months early to ask. Crab life is really short so you have to move fast.

This is just a lesser demon guy waiting to get into the VIP zone of hell. This is pretty much like getting in a nice club, so he has no chance to get in. He’ll have to pass over the security what is told to be a difficult task.

Having the luxury of living near a nice and quiet forest, this guy goes every morning for a healthy walk. Then he’ll get some breakfast and then he’ll get to finish something at his workshop.

He is a cartoon beast who hunts by night with his fellow brothers. The idea was to draw something more into the videogame style of cartooning, just for the fun of it and to open the door for new characters.

This witch girl, with the help of her magical staff, goes around places making things better. She learned from an old witch, about how to be good and not use magic to harm others.

Here is a cartoon guy who is all depressed because, according the way he see things, we have a mess in our world. Thats why he is all grey. Anyway, I wanted to draw something different, with not-so-bright colors just to change a little.

Somehow this fat cartoon chicken is really happy with all the commodities that he has in this modern farm. He has a tv/blu-ray combo, 8 meals a day, wi-fi and a pool. He doesn’t suspect that he is going to be some guy fast food in a few days. By the way, Gran pollote means something like “Big Huge Chicken” in spanish.

An old fashioned math school teacher who is late for his first class because he got lost on the immense halls of the academy. Is a bad thing that teachers don’t have a hall pass. He is going to detention after school.

I haven’t drawn a cartoon animal character in a while so here is this a cool cat dude in streetwear waiting for his friends to go to the party.
