PLEASE NOTE, the displayed parody artworks of classical cartoon characters are not copies but distinct satiric imitations/caricatures, by exaggerating and transforming the original characters and their related indica (see 'Coat of Smiles') in a way that creates new originals and new meanings, different from the intentions of the originals.

By the way, sometimes it can become quite a task to get an appealing photo of such an in-the-works sketch, particulary when - out of nowhere - some delicate and distracting hands are involved, as in this very case.

Birdish Creature: Bone Structure

In (more or less loose) connection with my current work I added the bone structure to the "Drachenvogel" sketch, which is part of the blog's header illustration. You can also reveal the bone-structure of the creature by moving the mouse cursor over the header illustration.

Roll-(Mouse-)Over Effect

...just this minute, I added a roll-over effect to the new Paperwalker Weblog header. I'm trying to keep the "tradition" of the work-in-progress blog header effect here going.

Is There Anybody There?

By the way, it seems that only a few people leave comments here anymore, compared to the past. Well, there is still a lot of traffic here on my weblog, even more than before actually, but all the very commenting kind of shifted to Facebook etc, didn't it?

Anyways, I'll keep posting here, thanks everyone!
