Panda Duck From Mars

Update (DEC 04, 2007): Shane, Spike! Here you are...

Panda Duck, version 1.1 (May 2007)

I tried to enhance this kipper into a more oddish character.

Panda Duck, cast off version 1.0 (March, 2005)

I drew this smarty 2005... but we were not that happy with it for various reasons. I'll show you the "2007 version" another time.

Not happy with this? I love it! In fact, I think that a "panda duck from Mars" is my new favorite animal. This is great... I'd love to see the new one.

Always outstanding. What I love even more than the characters sometimes is the poses themselves.

I like this second one even more. The squatter shape and the headgun rally make it sing. Nicely done.

«Florian Satzinger has a drawing style with a snap and verve that harken back to the best of classic Disney and mid 20th Century Warner Brothers animation. The lines with which he delineates his characters zing, bounce and swoop so delightfully that they suggest lively motion even before they’re animated. Satzinger credits Southworth as his major influence, and his work in the style of great classic hand-drawn animation shows his continuation of that tradition.»
