The chemistry just wasn't right.

2Q3: The Creating Dragons Formula




Update: The sketch above shows the local (in the 2Q3 story) UPS man. And a pretty unusual means of transportation.





This is an early character sample of Dr. Viggo Haidenstaadt.

Rough Piece



I just found this old rough piece.

Green Alien



He is as stupid as you choose.
Update: Michael Fleming writes in that this is the look his son gets when he is chasing him. So, this friendly green alien is as playful as you choose!

Star Ducks: The Duckworm



Well, I don't know what to say. Poor thing?

Mary Ghost


This was just a quick sketch. (Blue pencil and a wee bit Photoshop for the hair)

Gavin, King of the DarkDucks



I'm the duckman (according to expert Uli Meyer), to cut the matter short.

Dark Ducks








This kipper is part of the StarDucks cosmos, too.

Star Ducks Sketches






A few days ago, I finished my dissertation on methodology of de-constructing ducks ;) More of those ducks, among other things, will be shown attached to my interview at Randall Sly's Character Design Blog, soon.

Update: The interview is online now (Many thanks, Randall)

"The kids wanted a pet and I get stuck walking it."

Reinhard





Well, Reinhard has become pretty adept at outfoxing somebody.

An aquarium for his thoughts.

The Devil of a Toothache



Monsters usually don't consult dentists. But they do eat them, at least on occasion.

Live Wolf Sketch











"Overhead-live-drawing"

Yesterday, at the Royal English Cinema. Wacom, Photoshop and me. (It was the audience's wish that I should do a wolf that grins like a Cheshire cat or the like.)

Rosy Future





A dear old friend of mine asked me to be his wedding invitation card designer. (I mean, what else could it be other than ducks with mad gimmicks!)

Soap-Bubble Bogey

He does not spend his life for scaring children out of their wits, but only for what he really loves to do.


Update: And this is the rough sketch to the image above:

Greetings



Happy Easter! (BTW: This is an old sketch I did about two years ago. I particularly like the desperation in his eyes.)

Gemini Starduck



I am on a short vacation till the 9th of April. So there may not be any postings till then. Cheers and Happy Easter! (This is exactly the right time, I am absolutely overworked and feeling quite jaded.)

Update: The matchless Uli Meyer made a duck for me! What a beauty! Thanks a bunch, sir!

Pet Ape



Well, he seems to be a mix of Animaniacs meets Ren & Stimpy, or so. Whatever, I like the colours.

Barnabe Chicken

"Yes, I'm a happy chicken."
He is so impressed with his new intergalactic ACME cell phone peer3000 that he decides to marry it.
