New Zo Duck

June 1, 2018 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

After years of waiting, fans of my Zo Duck cartoon no longer have to wait for the next work in the series. A lot of what I do has taken me away from doodling the duck. Months ago, however, I did another sketch. I am sad to report that the original was lost. I left it behind at a training, of which I was called away from for other business. Retrieving the name tent on which it was drawn was not possible. Thankfully, I had taken a picture with my phone. That’s the best that I have of this one. Unless someone, for some reason, kept it. We’ll never know.

This new piece is one that I will likely try to recreate by hand in the near future. Such loss is traditionally met with hysterics and a sense of doom, as if it were the last I’d ever have drawn. Somehow, this particular drawing reignited my drive to do more Zo. It’s my hope to sketch my wily, feathered imp much more frequently.
