The StarDucks© Quake Protective Suit, Mod. Quilted Motor Goat

Voila, the finished piece. This sujet gives quite a wee bit away on the 1st StarDucks adventure's central theme, but it does not spoil it.



Alright, here's the work sheet - including some not used Quake Protective Suit vehicle thumbs - and...


...a sort of advanced colour palette "abstract painting":

Loopy

Didn't I tell you before? I'm a bit loopy... and affected with Steampunk disease.


Optional equipment: WiFi steering wheel.

I took the colours both from the Red Bull corporate colours and from this photo I made in Santiago de Chile.

StarDucks: Birdish Critter In Motorsuit

An antagonist of sorts.

There is no denying that the inspiration came from those photos I took at the city zoo of Cordoba, Argentina. I have quite a fixation on Pelicans, haven't I?

On a totally unrelated subject: Did I mention that I love Steve Lambe's work so much that it hurts my head? And the same goes for Martin Wittig and fellow Matt Williames, who, btw, recently became a "hand drawing resident nomad" at this tiny aspiring studio :)

Rutger: Inspired A Little By Pelicans...

This is another supporting birdish critter from the StarDucks' characters cosmos.

Pelicans are pretty cool birds, aren't they? I took those photos at the Pacific coast of Chile, two weeks ago.


Generally, I begin working with a particular colour concept in mind.

StarDucks: An Earthbird's Tales

I did that piece right after crossing the Andes, some weeks go. I'll tell you a little more about StarDucks really soon now...



The colour palette I worked with.





On the bottom right, that tiny thumbnail is for Flaviano. Talking of pals, Achdé (Lucky Luke) did a brill caricature of Lee Van Cleef.
