WHERE THE GOOD STUFF GOES (ART AND SUCH) MAIN BLOG: @duckduckington BLUESKY NEWGROUNDS

I now drift afloat... the Wayne comic is done and I have no immediate small scale purpose to fulfill. So I've just been scribbling and getting back to work on previous projects. Aaand getting ready for university.

Slank & Marx dressed as Lupin guys. Well. With Slank, you wouldn't REALLY be able to tell since he really is just wearing a suit, but y'know what this is.

I love how far out their legs will swing in Lupin, it's fun to exaggerate. Also, I really liked filling in the gradient of the smoke in the Jigen drawing, so I did the final pass with the sketch brush so I'd be able to retain that.

Captain Wayne - A Brute and his Boat (Page 12-13)

Thus concludes our Captain's tale! Ende gut, alles gut. Thanks for sticking around, I had fun making and uploading this.

Captain Wayne - A Brute and his Boat (Page 10-11)

Kablam!!! First time I've drawn an explosion like this.

Captain Wayne - A Brute and his Boat (Page 7-9)

This might be uncharacteristic of the Captain, but! Wayne got tricked!

Captain Wayne - A Brute and his Boat (Page 4-6)

It's not until later I realized that Wayne signing up to become a cop is absurd. But, y'know!

Captain Wayne - A Brute and his Boat (Page 1-3)

Captain Wayne - A Brute and his Boat is a fan comic, and finally seaborne! Created out of appreciation for the insanely wacky characters and countless hours of fun in Captain Wayne - Vacation Desparation.

I overscoped this one waaay too much to be done on any of the Christmas days (we've got two in Germany, and none in my home country!), so you're getting it now.

I didn't really expect it to be this big, since this comic followed my usual modus operandi of making these, which is that I have a much too vague idea in my head for a funny comic, start sketching it out then come up with a lot of jokes and the story itself as I go. I even started inking the first couple of panels before I even knew what Slank would gift Marx or what the final panel would be, and I kept adding more details to everything like form shadows, cast shadows and spotlights!! (How do you stop starting every sentence with "I"...)

The start of making this was a bit of trouble, since I've been in a bit of a funk with digital art for a hot bit now. I still make a bunch of it, I just tend to have trouble picking a good inking brush, what kind of texture it should have or if I even want it to be anything but perfectly smooth, but then I want it to still be kiind of textured, or if I should do multiple passes or somehow wing it all with pressure sensitivity... poor craftsman blames his tools blah blah, but this stuff tends to be easier on paper. Sketching also felt a bit weird, but that came a bit more naturally to me.

The background was supposed to be white, but the placeholder color I had actually looked quite nice, so I kept it like that. If you want it to look more like a traditional B&W comic book, turn up luminosity in an editing program of your choice (or check out my post on Newgrounds, where I included some alternate versions of the comic, including one in white and a bright red variant of the last panel, reminiscient of the Virtual Boy.)

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I thought it was a good occasion to make a comic anyway. Hope you like it!

I know I said this is self explanatory on other websites, but I'll clue you in on something: I'm not sure how he gets up to the window either

I think I made this a little while after I showed the show to one of my friends... I'm currently going through some of my old stuff to upload, so you get Baman Piderman fanart! GO WATCH IT IT'S ON THE CREATOR'S OWN YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW AFTER SOME ICKY STUFF WITH THE RIGHTS FOR IT AND IT'S BETTER NOW

A Brak for an upcoming character collab. He'd always wave on picture day.

A commission for Mark's newest video!

The way her fingers curl might not even be optimal for playing an ukulele, but I like interesting hand poses. Also, the uke's green, since the hair was already brown. Green uke

Art fight attack on @sameboot's Ripley!

If you were that rat, would you rather be turned into a minion or just be chewed up?

[duckingtonduck]

Gonna post some Art Fight drawings I did for people who are also on Tumblr!

An attack on @themutantspacedancer of the duo to be feared by everybody all around.

Might as well start the blog off with the current header image!

This was made for NebulaAurora's first VOD (https://youtu.be/2r7M-Ud2V1A?si=Di5oGwl5psfQQTqF) of our Rayman Origins playthrough. We streamed it and I was in there too and it was as loud and chaotic as you'd expect if you ever played the game.

The drawing initially had lines without anti-aliasing, but I like how the smooth downscale of it softens them, making it fit with the rendering too, so you get that. But it may very well not matter since Tumblr might downscale it anyway.

Me on the right as Rayman, @ryemanni as Globox, Mark as the Teensy on the right side of Globox's ass and Nebula on the left.

Also, I think it's the man's 30th birthday? Sheesh, talk about ooooold... who want's to play a crummy ol' PS1 game anyway?
