For the 2012 challenge I decided to focus my effort on developing characters for a project that would eventually become SkyHeart. Halfway through the month I went a different direction and started developing characters from the Skull Chaser universe. This was when I called the character Spaceskull.

I also decided to just do the challenge on week days, so there’s only 25 drawings this year. I kicked the challenge off with a new word mark the day before the challenge started, and then jumped right in on day 1.
