Niet slecht! But ALL those Duck poses remind me of specific Barks poses. The 2 Nephews in front have heads that are too big (moving towards the back).
Scarp
Thanks! I composed them of several Barks Ducks, trying to pick up the way of inking. It was the first time I used nibs. I see the faults in the hands and the somewhat unluckily way the second nephew runs away. I don't think their heads are too big though, I like those (old) proportions (?), although in the second duck it is a bit disturbing, whereas I did the lower body part really too small. But I still like the drawing, cause I do remember the effort I put in it!
Scarp
Here's one without reference. Except for the reeds, of course.

I also recognise the Barks poses in this second drawing.

I like that. The Ducks acting within a very realistic background has something fascinating, I find. There were those "Mickey Mouse Super Secret Agent" stories where Mickey and Goofy were drawn by Paul Murry and everything else (in a realistic manner) by Dan Spiegle. Also Barks' work around 1950 comes in parts close to that with humanoid characters and that all (and looks a bit more harmonical than the Murry/Spiegle experiment).

Here are the first attempts (I did it a while ago). First I did the reeds. I sketched out how I wanted the duck.

Then I did this.

Then I tried to copy a few Barks, to pick up the right way to do it. After a month I did it again.

The thing most difficult in this drawing was to get the whatsitcalled of his sailor suit falling over his shoulders correctly. I am still not satisfied about that. So I guess it's Barkish, but not Barks. You like it?

I've never read them. At home we only had some old weeklies and Mickey's Monthly. I liked those old Barkes too.

Very nice work!
Did you ink the background as well? You should show this at www.McDrake.nl too :)
Robb_K
Are you a poster on McDrake.NL, Scarp? If so, what is your forum name? Yes, you should show the drawings there, too. There are a lot of Nederlandse posters who don't come to this forum, who would be interested in your work.

I don't know if he is, but I just remembered Daniël is temporarily not allowing new forum users to register, because of spam-attacks..
Robb_K
New posters can start with McDrake. They just have to send an e-mail to Daniël, telling him their proposed user name. He then sends them back a password.

The first charachter is Doctor Static, while the second and the third are my versions of Pete's cousin Portis (Plottigat), do you like more the first or the second one?

Thanks for the kind responses and criticism people!
It's a long time ago I read a Doc Static story! Don't know the second one though?

Plottikat. He appears in some pockets. In 11 stories in the Netherlands, that is. Pockets 1, 46, 56, 61, 113, 126, 146, 148, 169, 171 and in Dubbelpocket 4.
