Yellow cartoon hand glove hat

The trick is to prepare a cartoon duck for its job at the earliest opportunity. It is impossible to start enthusing young ducks too early.

1. Look what I got in the mail the other day.
2. And this is how I feel, today.

Algorithms are merciless

Or, when the parody "outdoes" the original. The other day, Mesolithic Mouse took over Mickey Mouse's hashtag. At least on Instagram, for about 24 hours. I noticed that only because the stats went through the roof.

MM

Apropos of nothing. I added some facial colour to the rough draft sketch of Mesolithic Mouse.

Mini-Duck-Me

My first "atelier" was my parents' house's sitting room, late seventies, early eighties; under the giant glass block window, after having watched Disney's 'Robin Hood' at the old Schubert Kino. What a day that was.

A week with no weekend ended. Now comes Monday. Wohooo.

Anyways, here are now some rough duck sketches, for no particular purpose. Blending digital and analog sketching.

313 GTi

Another cast-out ride from Gearloose's garage, the 313 GTi. It indeed gives me great pleasure finding the finest locomotion for Donald Duck. Here, for this early development thingy, I even did a quick clean-up.

Gyro Gearloose's Garage

A few cast-out vis-dev sketches I did about two years ago, searching for the right visual tone or voice for the gadgetry.
