And finally, here's the finished character pinup!
This was supposed to be finishe shortly after my 30th birthday (way back in September), hence the title on the piece. I ended up taking an unexpected break from productivity though, it would seem, so I didn't finish this when I planned. I decided to make a push to get it done and get back again.
So, what is this? Well, I figured I'd draw a piece with as many of my characters as I could, displaying all of them that I've come up with over my 30-year existence. In truth, this is actually not all of them by quite some way, but these are the ones that are active or otherwise important.
Coincidentally, excluding myself, there are 30 characters on this. Well... technically. The three Helperbots are kinda cheating the numbers a bit, but let's roll with it anyway. :)

ooooh, will look out for it!
Seriously though, thanks for inspiring my own style and all my animation passion back in the day. I dunno if people realise this, but even though you and I see and watch plenty of other, far more capable artists out there, we still have that handful of people that defined us, regardless of their skill level and standing in the community. If you ever feel you've slipped, or are not developing, or any other bullshit artists thing that we seem to dwell on when the 16 year old Chinese kid blows digital art out of the water with dazzling spectacle, then remember that you inspired someone to actually stick to their passion. You made someones life better just by doing what you do, and if that doesn't keep you moving and forging forward, I don't know what else could.
So here's to 2015 you awesome bastard. Keep rocking.

Smiling Felicia will always be creepy. In fact, I might just do a sketch page of nothing but Felicia smiling! *evil laugh*
I might actually go looking for all the old characters though, I'm curious to know how many there are and how many I actually still have the original images for.

After seeing how much effort and how long you worked on this it's so awesome to see the finished piece~ <3 It turned out fantastic. Congratulations on finishing it! So much effort~ I admire your dedication. owo
Fran is forever my favourite but thanks to this I discovered Ms. Chubbybutt and co. at the front and I love those three too. :3 Mustanthrothemsometime~
Congratulations and Happy Holidays~ *w*

Incidentally, having worked in the radio/television industry for a while, my first thought upon seeing the title "-30-" was The End, because production scripts usually have "-30-" at the bottom to indicate the end of the script. But I figured it had to do with a birthday.
Happy late one, lol :D

Nobody really knows where it came from, but those are a few theories. I think the telegraph shorthand theory is most plausible.
