I did this piece last Christmas while doing some Toby Skybuckle vis-dev work. I dedicate this to fellow colleague Didier "Crisse" Christpeels.

Drawn Rope Course
"Don't touch the floor!" (That reminds me of one of the funniest sports-games in PE/school sport: The Piratenspiel, a risky tag game of sorts)

My (Blue) Style...
...well, not really. I'm more from the nice-ducks-side of the drawing world but in this very project (where this critter is from) the goal is is not to be nice. And I'm enjoying that a lot.
I suppose Eric (who is a big inspiration to me) may like it. Hopefully anyway.

Old Style
This is not from me. I bought this wonderfully watercoloured piece in an antiquarian bookshop in Milano, last week. I'm not sure if this drawing is just an old children's book illustration or maybe something related to animation. Unfortunately, the artist left no signature or date on it. Anyway, I really like its early animation style and warm colouring.

Blue Pencils
Update (Friday, March 21, 2008): I used to like going for walks.
---- previous post (SAT, March 15, 2008) ----
Alright, I set off now (as the boys* above). It's time for some work-related things abroad and a few days of relax over Easter. Happy Easter!
*Those roughs were for an ad agency's pitch to their client... 'hope they liked it.

Steampunk Copter; Referee
Uh oh... the literally dark side of my concept art.
These are "older" (2007) concept pieces. They fit nicely with the friedly alien below, don't they?

The Friendly Alien
Apropos Royal Styrian Drawing Jam: This is the well-mannered extra-terrestrial I did at the 1st jam.

Rough Piece
Managed to make it back to my drawing desk in one piece after a lot of travelling. Anyway, here is an older rough concept piece I still like very much. I think it's inspired by one of those cardboard box spaceships my brother and I were building when we were kids...

StarDucks: Pan American Racer
It's a peach! StarDucks' Steampunk Duck appears on/sponsors Lars Kroiss' stunningly beautiful Volvo 122S on this year's La Carrera Panamericana. What you can see above are the approved rough designs. I'll post the finished designs later this month. (BTW: The photo above shows not Kroiss' racer but it is basically the same)
Photo above: L. Spurzem
Update: Alright, this just came in from Lars. This is the actual car, where the designs will be displayed:
