  1. Hey Florian! Great, as always! you're an amazing artist, really really love your sketchy looking style.
    Wich size of intuos are you using? I always used the small ones, never got the chance to try one of the middle or large ones, but I think that since my currnet Wacom is pretty new, the next step should be a Cintiq.

  2. Hi Florian,

    ahhh it´s sooo good to see you working traditional again. All your work is awesome. But the strokes of prismacolor pencil are so rough and that´s what I like. Hope you upload this crazy critter in a desktop res. This would be awesome ;).
    Besten Dank. Dein Stil ist eine wahnsinns Inspiration für mich. Beste Grüße Zapf.

    Brian, hahaha, sorry for stealing your time :o) BTW, StarDucks' "things" delayed a bit because of some operational reasons but they will come - a little bit more slowly than we all expected - but they will come... strong!
