I think I'm going to shit my pants. How long are there guys taking you? Amazing. I swear I will finish the Knight. I'll strive to match some of Lysistrata's stuff, but I dono if I can. :wink: I guess it's not as addictive as it used to be.
Ducks for everyone!

:lol: hehe. I started making icons over a year ago. Inspired by Laura herself. Take a look at my stuff (homepage.mac.com/wunderwood). It's good, and I'm pleased with most of it, but I have not been able to reach the level of detail and realistic shading Lysteria has. It takes practice and experience. :wink:

Yes, and at first he didn't think he could finish the mountie by himself, but look at him now! Your Mountain Dew Duck is lookin' pretty cool, too.

I knew you could do it. :D Just takes patience.

And you know me, Wunderwood. I start on one of these and can't stop until it's finished. I get obssessed. :twisted:

yeah, i was really frustrated at the beginning. and like wunderwood (i really like your ducks!), i think i will not become that perfect like you.

maybe i don´t have the talent for it and i am also not a graphic artist or a design student...i am a kinesiology student. :D

does anybody know, where i could get darth vadder duck. wunderwood has it on his homepage...he used the duck for one of the wallpapers...

hang loose.

rocky duck...(inspired by lys and the shoes for marvin)

Post by the mountie »

hi lys, hi everybody,

the shoes for marvin the martian are pretty cool!
i really like them. i think it doesn't matter that he is a little smaller than normal. therefor he is amazing.

i wanted to know how a duck would look like with feet...so that's what happend...rocky-duck!

Image

i am not really happy with it right now...maybe anybody can help me what to do better...


keep on rockin'
