thx xada,
Thx rasmusW yeah it’s still an early wip there still has a lot to be changed 
Thx Undoz, all of the characters are made using your material man it’s really great!
Here is a bit of the concept behind it:
When I think of tribes I think of being proud. This was my starting point. I didn’t want it to be too serious so I thought I would go for a cartoony-style.
A silly face alone wouldnt do the trick though so I went online looking for inspiration on the THU page. Which I found in a comment of a photo.
The photo showed a few speakers of the previous THU just sitting at a table in the sun. The comment was that they were all masters in different skills and styles.
this inspired me because this is what I also like about challenges: People with different skills and styles come together to join a challenge.
This is what I wanted to represent in this picture. Different kind of people travelling along on the same journey leading eventually to the festival and
by doing so creating a tribe on its own. The different type of characters represent the different styles. The whole tribe is a happy parade.
All a long the way they are being seen by different anonymous spectators. The yellow fireflies-men which are the online spectators following the challenge.
And for inspiration well it does comes from everywhere a bit I try to let it evolve a bit during the creation. Some inspiration comes from the sculpting some of the sketching.
I don’t think everybody gets all the concepts but that’s ok. Here are some explained a bit more:
I just finished braking bad and had seen a lot of likeness studies of Walter so I thought it would be funny to have him cooking on the back of the horse.
The two girls on the dragon are based a bit on my daughters one is Lux (light) and has a glowing crown and fluorescent light the other is Lotus based on the flower,
she has petals of a lotus flower as hair.
There is a sci-fi shooter on the back of the horse but I didn’t want him to come over to aggresive so I made him shoot soapbubbles in the shapes of hearts.
Hope this explains it a bit and thx again for the material
Thanks for the description! It’s great to hear your thought process and it makes it even more awesome

One of the best expressions on a character I have seen this year!

A not told story here on ZBC as long as I can remember.
And a scaringly good told story.
She was called “Frau Martin”. I met her when I was six.
Two years later my opinion about school…well changed.
congrats! really nice job overall, fun character
very cool character
Awesome work mate. Love the teacher character.
I suggest you 3D print it. It would make a nice model.
Thx for the comments really appreciate it
Well I was actually thinking of printing the last character because he is thicker but I might as well asked around for the angry teacher. Will see how it goes. If it works I’ll post some pics here
A while back I was asked to join the gomonsterproject. The Monster Project Kids draw monsters. Artists from all over the world recreate them in their own styles. Magic for all!
I loved the idea so I joined. Little did I know I had only one month to create it. ( besides full-time job, kids, daily routine tasks… ).
I had to write a letter to the creator of the monster about the whole progress. The concept artist for this monster is Leonard R. and so this letter is addressed to him.
