I am still at it, if anyone was still wondering where all my vector characters had disappeared too. Just not finding the time to post them everyday. This weekly roundup is an experiment with conical and tubular shaped heads and body perspectives. This week I have no stories to share, but I have fun names as usual. I’ll just leave it at that.

Days 108-114

Character Names – Tunka, Tri, Sqa, Cica, Ulgi, Krunkle, Pinkston Froth

I said I wasn’t doing storylines for these set of 100 characters. But boy, does my mind have a mind of its own. When I was doing this roundup, I couldn’t help my brain from concocting tall tales to place around these little dudes. Some of them have a story this week. I love making up stories and because I can’t do them in the real world, this is the best outlet.

Our son recently celebrated his 6th birthday and for his birthday he got a small fish tank for a present. He beamed proudly when he brought home his first two pets in a plastic bag. He christened his goldfishes Ruk and Roy. Both our sons have since been fascinated by the tank. It has replaced television in our home during certain pockets of time. They push two red chairs to the tallboy where the tank sits, climb up and stare at it for ages. The idea for Tunka came to me as I watched this daily exercise of theirs. How fun and totally wild would it be if Ruk and Roy became the tank’s eyes and it came to life!

Tri, Sqa and Cica are the Shape Ninjas. They have a lot of attitude because they secretly know how utterly useless they are.

Ulgi is well ugly. A hippo lazing in a pond, swallowed an unusual looking frog one day and ballooned itself into a glop that gets uglier each day.

Krunkle was born in a design studio when a bunch of cardboard letters left over from a typography shoot and glued onto some defunct floppy disks, short-circuited.

Pinkston Froth is not your average, creamy ice cream. His flavor is marshmallow and his creamy skin can take you on a wild ride. Wicked indeed!


Time Taken : 20 minutes – 35 minutes for each character on any given day

Days 101-107

Character Names – Rami, Trippo, Gaff, Ludwig, Vaclu, Ampra, Tuski

100 characters later, I decided to change things for the next 100 characters. I will be now doing weekly roundups. I will still be designing one character everyday but only rounding them up at the end of the week. The characters still have names but there won’t be any storylines accompanying them. Since my challenge was designing a character per day, abandoning the storylines [which was a quirky extra] is just to buy me time for the million and one other projects I have going on.

Rami is an elvis wannabe. Ludwig is a wig that got thrown in the ocean, turned green and started showing signs of life. Ampra was my experimentation with a solid ampersand.

Day 100 – Neb

Neb is a power star. He can spin and generate the energy of a 100 suns. He is one of the million odd star sprites living in a closed star shaped nebulae off “Buzzno”.

And then there were 100! Gosh, what a thrill ride these 100 days have been, went by sooner than I expected and could’ve gone faster. I have learnt so much and there is still so much to learn and apply. The biggest thing I have learnt though is "To Not Give Up" and will your determination to see you through the most daunting of mundane, everyday tasks. Here is to the next 100 vector characters, hope my mind and ideas don’t abandon me!

Day 99 – Cronie

Cronie runs the hattery at “Tremorne”. He has an unusual gift. He can take off his orange hat, flex his arms, crouch down and say “HUH” and off pops an unusual hat from the top of his head. Tremornians love his wacky creations and adore him for dressing up their weird little heads.

I love Cronie. He has character, no pun intended. Reminds me a tad of Mr Men but yet so different and he is all shapes and attitude too!
