Duck Armour 2008-08-07 06:50:00 Alright, as Jake posted a dragon and Oliver put a duck on his blog I couldn't resist but to follow in hot pursuit...
MS Seapunk 2008-08-01 16:27:00 I showed Mrs Potts once before, but did I show her neighbour's yacht? (Both designs are for a children's production led by writer and composer Henry Muldrow)Usually, I start drawing small sketches of the character / vehicle / bg I'm aiming at. Then I continue with sketches in the final scale.
Pencil 2008-07-30 04:06:00 I'm quite concerned with the quality of those new pencils.BTW: I'm featured in the August 2008 issue of the ImagineFX magazine, as I noticed today. Together with some brill wizards like Gabriele Pennacchioli (DreamWorks), Colin Fix (2K Games) et al. I think I'm in good company :) Read more:Pencil
Muzzle Flashes 2008-09-01 10:36:00 Sorry for the lack of updates and replies! We're terribly busy ('n still terribly far away) so I'm bad about answering e-mails and comments. Below you find two early sketches of some minor characters for the StarDucks project. I hope I can post some coloured/finished pieces, soon.After all, I'm thinking (and my dear pal Herrera is forcing me :) of doing a sketchbook sometime in the near future. Th
Slurp! 2008-08-22 20:45:00 Update (SUNDAY, August 24, 2008): One can draw pretty good here :) Currently, I'm preparing a couple of new sample drawings (some birdish critters - it's a good practice for me for the upcoming StarDucks project) for lectures I'll hold both at the IPES Institute for Advanced Studies and the Animation Campus Academy in Montevideo. I plan to post the finished pieces a little later.----Finally, I had
Alpine Switchbird 2008-08-18 08:53:00 I've switched continents and hemispheres for the next couple of weeks. I'll post more, soon...BTW: Tea is a brisk business here. They drink mate almost anywhere and all day long. Read more:Alpine
Pixel 3.0 Symposium, Vienna 2008-09-19 20:33:00 BTW: This October, we'll speak at the Pixel
3.0 Symposium
about our developmental work etc. I'll add some more information to this post a little later - I'm still abroad... Read more:Vienna
Colour Inspiration 2008-09-07 20:09:00 The trees still have no leaves on their branches. Well, it's still winter, here. Update (TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th): What I've forgotten to mention is that this "weaponish" horn up the front is a motor horn. The only thing it hurts is one's ears. A flying cheers from Cordoba (ARG)!

Rutger: Inspired A Little By Pelicans... 2008-10-09 13:34:00 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. Read more:Inspired
StarDucks: An Earthbird's Tales 2008-10-03 01:40:00 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. Read more:Tales
Done! 2008-09-29 11:26:00 ... and I'm going home. And I swear that I'll start answering my mail really soon now! Update (TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2008): I'm home and all run down after about 15 hours of flight. Read you soon!BTW: Did you see Jake's sub candy? It's definitely worth a look.
Geoscientist 2008-10-29 02:35:00 On my drawing desk, as we speak. Greatly inspired by my brother Valentin. I'll post the finished piece right tomorrow...The colours I'll work with:
Loopy 2008-10-22 13:29:00 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 2008-10-15 09:45:00 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 residen
Feather 2008-11-18 06:12:00 To be long in the leg...
Production Art: Freaks 2008-11-14 13:47:00 Another rough vis-dev piece from the same project. For the moment, the last one of that kind I'll have here. The next post will contain explicit... ducks! Read more:Production
Visual Development Roughs 2008-11-09 04:07:00 Here're some other vis-dev roughs and character designs I did, last year. I blueprinted some really wacko things back then...In this connection my compliments to my fellow co-heads of development, Robert and Andy. They're versatile wizzkids to the core. The same goes for our long distance trouper from Atlanta, Michael. 'Hope we'll set up another one of sorts in the near future...I for one have now Read more:Visual

Layout 2008-11-05 00:25:00 As I do not have any new stuff to show on this very day, I put this oldie on the blog. A rough animation layout test I did for a cartoon series pitch, some years ago. I posted this piece here once before. Sorry for the re-run.BTW: BG/layout work is quite important to my character designs. It is fair to say that I draw the place before I draw the characters. Or more philosophical: I form the charac
