The Bug Bear! A curious Kodiak blundered into an alchemist shop and guzzled down the first flask he found! Now he's the horrendous and accurately named Bug Bear! With insect-like abilities and a mantis aided maul, this ursa is now the weirdest in all the woods!

10 years ago to the day, I put in my notice at the Bose store I worked at, because for some reason I was allowed to start an art career when I had almost nothing to offer.
At the time, I was 3.5 years out of college and depressed to the point of googling “most painless way to unalive yourself”. I don't know what the search results looks like these days, but the ones I got weren't within my means, so I applied for a job posting on CraigsList and said I'd circle back to Plan A when I got rejected. I didn't have any work experience, so I made my resume the big stupid thing up top there.
I don't know how much of the document constitutes as "lying". Technically I didn't lie! I was featured in the publications I listed! They were not real jobs. I don't recommend doing this unless you're a really good bullshitter and you have literally no other options in life, and even then I'd tell you that I'm an awful role model and you shouldn't do what I did.
For some reason, I was hired! Bonus: my first assignment was drawing rocket ships for Johnson & Johnson. I don't know why they'd give that to an obvious liar! But I didn't realize it was a contract/freelance hire, which, if you don't know, is a complete lifestyle change from a normal job. I decided to jump right into the world of running one's own business because Plan A seemed less attractive now.

Over the years, I've had opportunities to work with major international brands, explore a bunch of different industries I never thought to work with, collaborate with folks I looked up to for years, worked on books and games and animation and music and ads and a bunch of other stuff. I'm very fortunate to have what others have told me is a "career" but what feels like a series of silly things that have happened to or around me. Lots of people took a chance on me when they probably should've hired someone with a better head on their shoulders.

I don't use the Drawbarian resume anymore (I have work experience now!), and I don't think it represents me even a little bit, but I think self aggrandizing humor is way funnier than self depreciating humor, and that original drawing was so fucking bad that I wanted to see and enjoy my growth in something more tangible.
Plus I dunno muscle dudes are fun to draw.

Old art of the voltgoat I drew back in 2020 colored tonight. Based on Drawbarian/Jouste's joke doodle on the volt goat stream where he put boxers on the horns and butt of the voltgoat.

every so often at work i dedicate like 10 minutes of my break to drawing stuff in my sketchbook. showcased here are a couple of sketches of original characters drawn by @jouste!
in order, we have monstrolio (accidentally drawn walking like the chad meme so i rolled with it), outboard and the instagator! all lovely designs, i hope i did them justice!
in fact i was inspired to draw one myself, the Harrowing Haddock Hunter! this bear exclusively ate fish for many years, massively enhancing his brainpower to become the smartest in the woods! equipped with his most impressive catch and a tuna bandolier, he’s only a quick bite away from a bright idea!

Tossimer the Grounded! With some repulsive and repurposed wings, Tossimer can hurl his flappable spear into targets leagues away! Now tackling the terrestrial, This landlocked leviathan looks for a decent dragon doctor to reconnect his aerial appendages!

Tip! Boats beware, It's that grim glacierman Tip! Lumbering through the oceans with an insatiable taste for wreckage, this sentient ship smasher is one frightening floe! Each frigid footfall is felt through the bones of every sailor, but all they see is The Tip!

Hornwinder! It's the grimmest of the godless goat-men, Hornwinder! Able to heave heaps of hellfire onto his harassers, he can also contort his keratin into complicated killing contraptions! He is hands down the horniest, hell-born, demon-goat hero ever spawned!

Staunch! This over-armored algophobe is always adding to his defense! Being terrified of injury or pain has him hefting a mighty shields and wearing multiple helmets whenever he catches a whiff of a dangerous altercation. Some say he hasn't taken any meaningful damage in decades!

The Zoo Creeper! It's that deforming defender of the zoo, The Zoo Creeper! Able to extend his extremities into almost any animal, this horrific hero has to regulate his powers via tranquilizer pistol blasts so that his wild shapes don't start running the show!

The Alpha and Ovumega!
No longer will humanity need to ask the greatest question of all! For it was both the chicken AND the egg that had come together at the exact time! This brilliant being of both is always able to come first from any where in space and time!

The First Ghost! We've done it now! Between deep-faking, downloading the dead, and holographic tech, we have actually created a genuine ghost! Before this exact moment there wasn't a spirit to be seen but now they are going to be everywhere! So recently scary!

Kingmauler! The slaughterer of the sovereign and the masher of majesty! This horrific demon demolishes despots and anyone doing a lousy job at leading in general. Only annihilating those in the highest standings, this monstrous murderer leaves the lowborn alone!

Whiteflag the Surrendinator! Always appearing to abandon the fight, Whiteflag has the capability to brutally go back on his word! In a war against gullible robots, this backsliding battler can seems like he's bowing out right before he fires up his blaster belt!

Fight n' Flight! This aggressive avian is on the attack and ready to flap! With a barbed-wire boxing glove and a sawed-off shotgun, you never know if he'll be hitting the skies or hitting weak spots for massive damage! It's best to have both options available.
