GIGANTAS!

These are the Gigantas! Gigantas are a strange type of animal that tends to grow forever. The biggest one in the picture is the Galactape! He's a Gigantape that has went off into space to go do good deeds throughout the cosmos. The smaller one is just a regular gigantape. Gigantapes start off as little seeds, smaller than a snail, and grow until they want to stop. When they decide to stop growing, some just decide to sleep. And they sleep for so long that they might turn into Baby Hills, and Mountain Faces. You can see Baby Hill and a Mountain Face in the bottom of the drawing. The other Gigantas are Kiwahirsuta, a Lobster Giganta, with furry arms. Gigantsquid is in the foreground, with a Gigantslug on his head dripping slime. And there's a Gigantabehr, wearing a unitard and playing with his bunny buddy. I hope you like this picture.

This is the first drawing i ever drew of a Gigantape, since then, i draw gigantapes all the time. They are one of my favorite creatures in the New Elegant Universe.



And this last drawing is a cover design for the Role Playing System i'm writing. When its done, i'll post some of it. But it wont be done for a long time.

The Giant Green Algae Bear is finally inked!

It took forever to finish, but it has been accomplished! Yay. I enjoy it.

New Pencils for Old Pencils

I decided to add more detail to the Big Green Algae Bear. I dunno if i like it though...

Big Mean Scarred Whale

This whale got in one too many fights. He's so angry. He's a big version of the first one i made. Sorry for the crappy quality photos though.

I wonder what his name is?

Little Whale

This is a Killer Whale. He eats lots of fish and sometimes penguins.

this is Moose

NEW PENCILS!

This Dragon is in a super fight with a helicopter over Goliath City.



Dragons come from the moon. Its a long story i was working on, but its too long for me to do right now. Maybe one day. They live in a nice little land under the surface...its a place where there are no horizons, because horizons only occur when something curves away from you, but if you live INSIDE a sphere...no horizons.

Yup.



This is a model sheet i made for a toy i want to make. Notice the Asian Man? He's the guy from ASIAN LAND! (look below). The other character is a Gangster Sparrowkeet. He has a little blade..cause he wants to be cool. Too bad they're so cute...no one takes his gang seriously.

CINQ!

Here are five little owls I just finished!

Giant Green Algae Bear, pencils

This is the 2nd drawing of giant monsters attacking a city. Its called "THE GOLIATH BATTLES"....we'll call the city, Goliath City.
The Giant Green Algae Bear is a bear that forms in ports and harbors of places that have polluted too much. Often times, when a water system is disturbed, the plant growth explodes, until it sucks up all the oxygen, and then all the fishies die. All this negative energy and plantyness comes together into the giant shape of a Polar Bear...and then knocks some buildings over.

Here's the drawing! I hope you like it!



...and to explain what Ulitron is.



Ulitron is a giant orbiting robot, piloted by literally little Green Men. Not green like grass, more of a chatreuse..i think i spelled that wrong. But yes. All of Ulitron's limbs and body parts, separate into smaller self contained space ships. In the drawing below, you can see that the mouth has detached. Ulitron is normally a peaceful robot, that wanders the forests of Satex, observing the little animals. For some reason, they have been manipulated by some evil force into attacking Goliath City.

At night, beneath its robotic skin, you can see little lights and movement.

Two Illustrations!

Little Davey before he was born.



Before he was sad.

A NEW ELEGANT UNIVERSE

I just created this blog out of my frustration with my website construction. Oh well. I am Ulises Farinas. Together with Maureen Newman, we are the happy happy creators of "A New Elegant Universe"...This is what i wrote on our "card":

"The New Elegant Universe is a place of growth and love, for children to believe in their imagination again. There are bunnies and pirates and vast landscapes to explore. This world is gentle, and every detail is living."

I thought that was a nice way of putting it. We make comics and stuffed animals and music and even clothing occasionally. Today, lets look at some crocheted creatures that Maureen made, based on characters from "A New Elegant Universe".












These were all sold out on the first day of SPX (The Small Press Expo), but we're making more! You can purchase one yourself! Contact "A New Elegant Universe" at 972.816.1323, or you can mail to us at: 45 Delaware St. Elizabeth, NJ 07206
