Nuubs: Meet the Characters

Here are the seven initial Nuubs (rhymes with "tubes") characters. I have at least three new ones on the way.

Buddy Boy

Parkour expert, analytical leader

Doosh

Foreign exchange student, playground DJ

Rainee

Doomsayer, conspiracy theorist

Shade

Break-dancer and ladies' man

Sissy Girl

Pure of heart, afraid of butterflies

E Man

Wealthy dimwit

Loaf

Neighborhood bully

New characters will include Seymour, Frank (Buddy Boy's dad), Pico, and Ron Bigfoot.

I did a couple of acrylic pieces as well. Cork floating atop torn-up corrugated cardboard:

The Nuubs concept is something I've had in my head for nearly two years. Little, stubby, mushroom-headed kids who have fun doing random things. To me, this is a modern take on Charles Schultz' Peanuts. Now that I've put together a group of characters with personalities I am fleshing out more details to create a fully-developed property. I'm in the midst of writing a draft for an animated series for television which I plan to pitch to the networks hopefully next year.
