Starpowder Petz



I'm sure I will not surprise you in saying that I did master space-bruin the same day I did Lancelot Britannica, the Younger.

We put up a teaser page at our website. The StarDucks ship is expected to sail later this year or so...

J.M. Yardlove



"A giant stride towards the final design." Hehe, no. That's just a soft makeover of the hero. I tried to make him more "bonny".

Horace Duck



Let's just say, this is the blog's Monday morning bird. (Taken out right from the Skybuckle character ensemble)

The Shadwell



Even though he looks like an evildoer, he's not one. By the by, that ugly somewhat-thing on him isn't a sort of exosymbiont or parasite, but a pretty individual decoration. Well, good character and good taste may not be mutually dependent.

Racketeer Hare



This is Jack Racketeer Hare, a highly gifted villain by trade, and a most dangerous one at that. So, beware of the hare...

Lancelot Britannica, the Younger



So, to complete the distinguished dragonslayer family, here is Lancelot Britannica, the Younger - also known as "Lance, the Unlucky". (BTW: The beast to the right is Sorgenkindworm's pet nephew Serpentworm)

Algernon Starduck, the Director



Since last week, I'm at the StarDucks production again. This is a rough colour prev of the duck with the "background job".

Lancelot Britannica, the Elder



Apropos uber-talented brits, this is Sir Lancelot Britannica, the Elder. He's an exquisite dragonslayer, a sore loser extraordinare and - this comes as no real surprise - part of the Toby Skybuckle character-cosmos.

Kerchever Shockboot



Well, there are a lot of strange fellas in Toby's first adventure...

Hooded Crow



Here in Austria, even the birds have a sort of corporate image awareness, or, as I should better say, a sort of corporate cliche awareness. This one for instance stops right in front of my window, every morning. Sad to say, he is resolutely not musical.

Red Bull



Last summer, we were commissioned by Red Bull to do some character designs. With the view to doing a variation on the original Red Bull logo for the use with young generation athletes (Rookie Bulls). Well, and here is the fruit.
They (RB) really liked it. In this context, I was doing a lot of different bull characters, fathoming the right look. Some of them were really just for play. As you can see with this sample:



The Retro-Futurism Space Bull (he would fit in nicely to the Supertaft Bear team)

The Sorgenkindworm



We totally understand that this mon causes some inconvenience, particularly for Toby Skybuckle.

Cat Thing




This is Alfred. He is prepared for life-long creative learning (and for a beastly cold with that peculiar pelt). · Update: BTW, that's an earlier version of Alfie, without that hairdo monstrosity:
