Hello 2014!

Yet another year.. Guess I will start 2014 with some late 2013 leftover scraps. The first 2 are self portraits, kinda (Well all those angry faces are self-reflections, of sorts) 

More scraps scattered on the walls of my brain

 My interpretation of Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax, my favorite character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Character belongs to Terry Pratchett (and propably some publisher) etcetrah, etcetrah...

 Flintheart Glomgold, the second richest (but most vicious) duck in the world, arch nemesis of Scrooge Mc Duck (as seen above), richest duck in the world.

Mickey Mouse and all depicted Duck characters belong to Disney Inc. Flintheart Glomgold (Pic 3) was created by Carl Barks (He's been dead for 13 years and didn't own the character anyway (Disney, again), but if I'm paying credit to all those corporate owners, I'll damn well pay credit to this master). Rufus (pic 4) belongs to Daedalic Entertainment). Batman belongs to DC Comics, (maybe even Warner Bros.? Damn, referencing existing Characters is fun, but I'm scared shitless that some of those Big Companies might come down hard on my... ah well.

Ducks and other stuff

Who knows me is aware of my obsession with Disney Ducks, mainly due to the great comics by legendary "Duck man" Carl Barks, as well as many other artists who followed in his footsteps (though I like a lot of the classic Donald cartoons as well). In this post I show some Duck sketches I did and pinned casually on my wall. (All depicted characters belong to Disney Inc.)

 Sketches in the following picture are my own interpretations of poses found in the classic Carl Barks comics:

 And some more of random scribbles and smearings  clustered alls over my walls, cupboard and Door:

This is my own version of a Head found in a book about sequential art and character design ("Framed Ink")

From my sketchbook

Scanned a few sketches from my current sketchbook that I thought were showable. Those were smeared in with some thick marker :)

Donald Duck and Gladstone Gander are property of Disney Inc.

"animal" sketches

What I define as "cute"

Tree in Pot

Did a little tree practice while I was outside, later at home spontaneously turned it into some kind of Bonsai Thing :)

More sketches

Don't get much to draw except random sketching. Thought I'd post some of those (old and new) I'm not ashamed of.
This one I did last Semester. Though those guys might be some "professional" hitmen or something.

 

"Self Portrait" sketch in front of the bathroom mirror:

 

A very reduced sketch of the Eisenhower Rotunda at Goethe University, Frankfurt

 

While watching Donald Cartoons, I stopped the DVD and smeared around a bit.. (Donald Duck belongs to the Disney Company...)

 

This one's pretty new. I did a conceptual sketch which sums up the Basic idea behind my mad scientist characters. I hope some time I will find the time and Courage to reakize this idea...

So Long :)
