Well, here goes; my contribution to the already mind-blowing art I've witnessed here on the forum. First up (and only - so far) are a few sketches done in my free time. Scanner borrowed from friend because, unfortunately, I am lacking in one! i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll155/JDecandia/Untitled-2.jpgWhy the random signatures, you ask? Good question! While sketching my one friend needed my artistic skills to forge a certain signature. An interesting bit of history: she hails from Germany where only the insanely rich and/or lovers of superfluous attractions actually drive. But while she's here in America, she's attempting to learn to drive IN A WEEK. Unfortunately, her parents are currently residing out of the country and, well, she just needed a bit of extra help in securing their permission. Anyway, as you can see, Igor sparkles (apparently from an Edward Cullen complex), the Count is obviously none too satisfied about tonight's dinner, and oddly enough is playing the guitar. So, hmm...that's about all I have. Though, you can look forward to more, I have two more drawings in mind/half-completed and intend to post them here as well. That is, if I can get my hands on a scanner.

I simply love how Igor sparkles, as well as Duckula's disgust about dinner. I love how you drew the fowls. I wished I could draw beaks well...

AWESOME! xD homg, totally post more, shame about that scanner! I love your depiction of Duckula, he looks so refined x) Especially with the guitar, that looks so cool <3 Sparkly Igor makes me retardedly happy xDDD Cullen Jokes, lol Much as I love Twilight, sparkly vampire cracks will likely NEVER get old, haha That's really awesome though that you used Igor, since when I have abused the sparkles doodled Duckula to make fun of Twilight, it's usually the Count himself that gets tortured xD Mmm, and yeah, you'll find out soon enough, if not already, that I have a fairly unhealthy obsession with Igor 8) <3 <3 If it's wrong to love him so much, then I surely do NOT WANT to be right! oooh, haha, and the signatures, lol Be careful! Livin' on the wild side xD

Is that Duckula playing the guitar? Because I like that one... May I also guess these were done with watercolour pencil?

Elegant? Antique? AWESOME? My oh my! You guys flatter me! Really, I'm quite overwhelmed right now and ridiculously gleeful at the positive (and may I add swift!) response! Steffie: The beaks are my favorite part! And I'm sure you'll get there. This is how I see it: - If you can write your name then you have the motor ability to draw. Think about it - all a drawing is composed of are lines on a paper. So then, how does a drawing exactly come about? Well, it's truly all a matter of thinking. Really, that's all. A thought and then you're there!
It may seem odd, but I'll let you think on that. Juno: I'm glad you liked the guitar; I actually felt most unsure with that one. About the scanner? Well I actually have good news: because I'm moving into a dorm my parting gift is...wait for it... a brand new laptop WITH a wireless printer/fax/scanner. *Dances* So I'm real happy about that and I'll be able to pick it up sometime soon! That's just one of the advantages of having a summer birthday. Secondly: I, too, suffer enjoy an obsession with Igor. His voice is pure love! Also, you can NEVER abuse sparkles! Stacy:Why yes, that is a guitar! I'm attempting to teach myself how to play it - with some mild success. I'm really more of a violinist. Always have been, always will be. Watercolor pencil? I wish, just a regular one. I messed with the contrast in photobucket though (no Photoshop!). Lourdes:God, I'll never get over your screename! It's just too cool. I must say you are surely overdoing the praise! These are just sketches, I plan on posting more finished pieces here. But I thank you ALL for your wonderful words and kind appraisal. I'm most certainly looking forward to giving you more. And with that...off I go!

Oh my. I LOVE sparkling Igor. XD I can just hear him asking, "Do I dazzle you?" in that dry voice of his. I can also hear him saying, "The very idea. Your great grandfather would be so disgusted."

Okay, you two are torturing me xD Igor, ahaha... ahem, hooo 8) He dazzles me ALL the time! COUGH YEAH.
I am always glad to meet another Igor fan though! Oh yesss, you and I are gonna be total BFFs now xDD His voice, hooomg, yeah. I could rant on that forever and a decade, I will spare you! Suffice to say, he's my dream manbird come true 8) Congrats on getting a scanner and stuff though, awesome! And a happy late birthday, by the way!
I look so forward to seeing more of your stuff! =)

Spotty scan but here you go anyway: I always thought that Count Duckula's scottish relative was fairly reminiscent of another famous Scottish duck. And, before you ask, yes I am a Carl Barks/Don Rosa fan.

UNCA $CROOGE! great pic ^^ Hah! Judging by your avatar I would say you're a fan as well? Juno: Oh! That's his name! I completely forgot and was not at all willing to take the 5 seconds needed to look it up! But, yeah, I love Count Duckula and I love Scotland; need I say more?
