Happy Holidays!

Enough is enough. I stop drawing for this year and relax a little. This is my last post this year. Thank you for being with me here. I wish you Happy Holidays and the best in the New Year. CHEERS!

Yet in a way this is a self portrait - in a critterish sense... :o)

Mon-Day

I wish you a wonderful week. BTW, I dedicate this piece to Andrey, who I missed this time due to not making it to London. It's such a shame... the same goes for Uli, a real pity.

Wolf Bros.

I really like this vehicle's silhouette and the sketchy roughness of the whole piece...

Btw, the problems with my blog are solved already. Everything works as it should again... nice.

StarDucks: Creature Design

Time is running...

"When the creatures come
out at night to play
with the clocks, blast
the alarm and get
into your socks..."

The Chilly Cans

Speaking of those very penguins, the original (design-)idea was inspired by the famous Red Bull cans (colours and shape). It was not for release. We thought it was too crazed or too alien of sorts. Anyway, I thought it would be nice to share the story behind...

BTW, thank you so much for all the many, many wonderful comments on those fogies! Thanks a bunch! Oh, some more, a recent post on Steve Ogden's blog pointed me to the terrific works of Andrew Severynko. Truly amazing pieces.

... And With Horns

Executive: "Nice. There you go."

Toby Skybuckle: Colour Design Piece

This still's muddy colours are right from those photos of an old tree I took by the side of my town's river, today afternoon.

At the moment, I'm working on a kind of colour bible for each scenery of TS1. And in this instance, I generated a nice bark pattern, too, no?

Update: Btw, nice find on BoDoi: "Lucky Luke version canard" - Hey, I'm from down under yet again... :)

Toby's New Year

I wish you all a Happy New Year! I for one will start working on Toby Skybuckle I (besides StarDucks of course), in January. Cheers and big thanks to Crisse and the good girls 'n' boys from Soleil Productions for letting this boy's adventures begin...

...I call this, btw, a Swiss sword. And I've had a few optional Austrian-Salzburgian extras installed ;)

Big Christmas Stocking

Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year!

StarDucks Design Work By Degrees

By this example (I showed the finished piece "birdish critter on horse" once before) a great inspiring key element was a sort of external component, a design driven clay figurine of a horse bought at a crafts shop while I was in Montevideo some months ago...

Btw, much more about the StarDucks project and its influences and thoughts behind will follow in the next issue of the GOmotion Magazine... (Cheers to Marta)
