Description
Slightly closer view of the zen duck in its natural habitat. Sketch on paper, paint in photoshop, seen in my imagination.Click on for closer view - the duck would want it that way.

I love this one so much, and how you did your watermark with the circles in the "hands"

Somehow a watermark seems the antithesis to the concept of being zen, but there you go
Glad you like!

Zen duck would say thanks, but we all know ducks dont talk. Tell them a joke and they will quack up though
Cheers!

Thanks my friend! Funny, it was done as a quick bit of self entertainment one night after tea, but I was pretty happy how it came out.

The ones I've posted not enough for you?
I'll get around to posting some more soonish, but the two I've put up already [link] and [link] pretty much show my current process. Oh, and Apologies for not getting back to you sooner - your message got kind of lost somewhere in there!
Cheers, my friend!

I am at one with the duck.
Delightful work as always! I especially like the rendering on the feet. Something about the way you made them look all shiny, and yet not plasticy. You are the texture master. I bow to you. Show me the path of the duck. lmao.
Also really cool feature having the circle theme appear visually throughout the illo. Sorta zen in and of itself. No beginning, no ending. Just the circle.
You rock my bill.

I am most pleased to help you on your journey to being one with your inner zen duckness!
Always been drawn (no pun intended) to the circular motif, but never rationalized it as well as you have. May have to borrow your thought process - it'll make me sound 'deeper'!
Cheers man

"Deeper" is always a good thing. Well, unless it's in regards to debt, or trouble, or quicksand, or some other such icky thing. lol.
I've always loved the circular motif in your work. Not only does it do a fantastic job as a visual effect of keeping the viewer's eye focused on the page itself, but it also really strikes that classic pin up glory that is present in all your work. Professional, powerful, and fun.
That is the zen of Dave.
