Inking!

Stuff that I inked (or was supposed to ink). Then I said “the hell with this!” and stopped. Behold of head shots and almost-finished-drawings-of-full-bodies-and-stuff!

You know what? I kinda like the inked version more than the sketch.

Apparently that snow leopard is thinking about pie or making one... of humans!

I'm pretty sure someone has created a character that looks something like this. I'll call it "ötökkä" (= "a bug") for now on.

A bear.

A female mandrill.

I don't draw monsters anymore because I keep repeating the same ideas over and over again. Plus, I always think that every monster I create is a rip-off of someone elses drawing.

This was supposed to be a cave inside a waterfall but I couldn't draw.. well, the waterfall. Now it's just a random unfinished cave.

This was something random, never meant to be actually inked or coloured in serious matter. Just a doodle done during a break. And yes, I don't know how to draw griffins because I never draw them. And.. oh, shoot, the front legs are in wrong position, I just realised that.

Noo, more griffins! How did this happen?!

A giant kitty! Looks quite bland, though..

This sketch has been haunting me since 2011. And that is a mask that the girl is holding, not an actual animal head. Well, if it was an actual animal head, I wouldn't know what animal that is even supposed to be. Some sort of mandrill-god or something neat like that.

In case you were wondering what the lineart of NegaDuck looked like without the colours. Coloured version can be found here.

Yeah, no dynamic or very interesting drawings this time. All the work is taking so much energy right now.

Sweet cartoon villains, Part 2

Oh yeah! Now we are talking!

Ah, NegaDuck. What could be more evil than an archnemesis from the alternate universe? Many things, but in Darkwing Duck series there's nothing more evil than that!

Probably because he is Darkwing's greatest enemy, he is my favorite villain in the show. I'm not saying that other villains are useless and boring. Oh no, they are great and cleverly created (think about Liquidator, he's an ex-salesman who had a horrible accident and now his whole body is made of water). The thing is that because NegaDuck and Darkwing are opposites of themselves, they can bring out their best and worst in them. I'm not sure if I was clear enough but simply saying only Darkwing can make NegaDuck incredibly mad, and only NegaDuck can force Darkwing to use his greatest knowledge and skills to beat him. It is fascinating and funny at the same time.

The voice of NegaDuck has to mentioned. Even though he is a cartoon villain, he has an incredible voice. A deep, sinister and sarcastic voice. He is voiced by the same guy who voices also Darkwing Duck, Jim Cummings. Oh, and the Finnish voice also rocks! If I remember correctly, it was Antti Pääkkönen who voiced him. That guy voices everything in Finnish Disney dubs.

Everyone who is familiar with NegaDuck has probably noticed that there's a small crack in his cape in this picture. You can read an explanation for that from deviantART. Let's just say that everything started from a mistake and ended horribly.
