#58: Illumians

Hey everybody, here are my latest characters: Illumians, the psychedelic blob creatures of Illumia. These aquatic aliens live in Illumia, a jell-water metropolis only reachable through one Earthly portal - lava lamps. They once lived in harmony, until the U.S. Government, in partnership with U.N.D.E.R.O.O., began Project Doorway and opened up portals for inter-dimensional travel. That way they could conquer another world and use it as New Earth in case of an apocalypse. Protective of their world, the Illumians began protecting Illumia with groovy weapons galore, starting an interstellar uber-war with "The Man." (This whole thing is loosely based on a weird dream I had the other night. It was odd, but nothing will ever out-do the "Attack of The Killer Purple Monkey" dream. Don't ask.)

#57: The Sealions

Hey, guys. Sorry it's been 3 days since I've posted. Actually, it's kinda because of my new characters: the Sealions. On the coast of California, there lives a group of talking sealions led by their fish-munching sealion leader, Sid. Mostly hailing from the mysterious and tropical Coconut Island, others from Malibu and the infamous New Jersey Shore, the Sealions have done everything. They've sailed the sea, gone to space, traveled through time and more. They're the most interesting sealions in the world! (Not to throw all you other sealions under the bus.) But why have they been keeping me from posting? Well, everything I just told you is from my book series, The Sealion, that I've been writing since 2010. I've been working on my fifth and final book in the series, The Sealion to the Rescue, which is going to the Young Authors' Fair on May 10th. If any of you are going, check it out if you have the time. I don't wanna give too much away, but #49: Onomatopoeia Man might have been needed behind-the-scenes.

#56: BuildaZoid

It took up a lot of my "Agents of Shield" time to draw it, but here is my new character: BuildaZoid! ( No relation to builda-Zord. Sorry, Power Rangers fans.) Every kid loves to play with Legos. But, what no one knows is that each Lego piece has a secret component inside that no one knows about. So, if someone reads the ancient incantation (from the '70s), the nearest pile of Legos will come together and form the amazing BUILDAZOID! Then he will snap into action and be the government's secret weapon in time of need. I would tell you the incantation, but then you would have to be locked away in a secret facility. (And I don't know it.)

#55: Van Gogh's Ear

Okay guys, this one's a bit weird, so brace yourself.  Here's a new character: Van Gogh's Ear. You know how Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off? Wellllll, the ear's still out there. And he's pretty ticked off. The guy was gonna have karaoke night with Van Gogh's nose on Friday. Un. Fair. So he's been going around, trying to find a new head to crash on. (Don't ask me. Two words: Mustache Ninja.)

#54: Agent Jimmy Cupid

Okay, here's my new character. Actually, he's not all new to the blog. He's been mentioned more than once before. Ladies and gentlemen, making his solo debut basically 2 months late... Agent Jimmy Cupid! Yes, the famous figure of Valentine's Day, cousin of Tom Foolery and behind-the-scenes writer for "The Love Boat." But that's not the cool part. He's also a very important agent of U.N.D.E.R.O.O in the holiday division. The skilled marksman matchmaker keeps the world safe by spreading love, which keeps people from hating. Just another way to avoid wars and keep the world safe. A note from the Mustache Ninja: "He's in love with loving love."

#53: Agent Cottontail

Hey, guys. Yesterday, I went to WonderCon as Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. Someone actually took my picture and sent it to the creator, Alex Hirsch! The ultimate power of Bill shall not be contained! Anyway, because it's Easter, I would like to introduce you to my latest character: Agent Cottontail (A.K.A the Easter Bunny). You may think of the Easter Bunny as a fluffy bunny rabbit who hops from house to house, hiding Easter eggs. Well, he's actually this guy - John Cottontail: furry agent of U.N.D.E.R.O.O. (the spy agency, not the '80s underwear with the decals). He's a highly-trained spy in the holiday division, along with Agent Pat O' Shorty (the Leprechaun) and Agent Jimmy Cupid. Equipped with an egg basket portal, action eggs (such as smoke yolk eggs) and naturally lucky feet, Cottontail goes across the world, carrying out the most important mission there is - giving people a happy holiday.

A NOTE FROM JACOB

Hey, everyone. I would just like to give some thanks to all of the fellow artists who have commented and given me tips over the year. J.K Riki, ZeroHart, Doug Cook, and so many more. All the animators who have helped contribute to Jacob's Characterz. Also, to all my readers throughout the world who have gotten me into the 2,500s in views: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, all of the people I've had the privilege to entertain. Thank you, my peeps. Thank you.

#52: Arctic Eddy the Hockey Yeti

Hey, guys. My family and I are L.A. Kings fans, so when they made it to the playoffs, I had to do a hockey-inspired character. Look, anti-Kings fans, I'm not looking for a throw-down or anything. Just an animator here. No hard feelings. Anyway, here's my new character: Arctic Eddy the hockey yeti. He's 9 ft tall. Covered in hair. Can shoot a puck like nobody's business. He's Eddy, the abominable hockey star. Back in Tibet, he was told legends of the puck and the stick and was mesmerized. He moved to the states and now, Eddy is the top player around. (And no, despite his appearance, he has no relation to Cookie Monster.)
