Dugly Uckling in: Treasure Quest

Treasure Hunters Ho! As I continue to pen and sketch the adventure of Dugly the treasure happy fowl, I thought I’d give you a sneak peak at Quiggums, the mystic guinea pig. Dugly’s spiritual chum.
To compliment Dugly’s feisty personality I was looking for a character that was more reserved- his voice of reason. Quiggums likes to toss out little “fortune cookie-isms” of wisdom that may or may not apply to the matter at hand.

Visually, his pudgy, round shape works nicely against Dugly’s sharp edges. I’m thinking of natural brown tones for him but I’ll have to experiment with the color backgrounds.

Quiggums’ thought for the day: “When life gives you lemons- make bathroom deodorizer!”

Next time
More sketches and perhaps a rough layout or two.
I’ll stay in touch.

I remember scribbling a few ideas down last year about a kool world that involves riddles, treasures, and creatures. I was searching for an awesome, adventure-seeking, kick-butt kind of character who had the stealth of Batman, the power of the Hulk, and the dynamic posing of Spiderman.

Instead I came up with a duck. [The mind is a complex thing]

Hence the birth of Dugly, an ugly duck with gumption and a sense of humor. Check out some of my early sketches.

Thanks to Fred, Nick and the gang, I was able to bring this little guy with an indomitable spirit to life on the small screen.
