Canadian Honeymoon
Last Saturday I was at the wedding of my good old friend Detlef, whom I know since ever. A couple of other good old friends were invited as well. But when it came to make a greeting card or some kind of gift everybody suddenly turned out to have two left hands - as always. So the task came to me - as always. But that's the burden you have to carry if you are the guy who draws the funny pictures I suppose. I'm quite busy at work at he moment, not to mention the other job I had to finish last week. But damn it was his wedding! So I spent the the nights doing this picture. Well, I could have done it earlier - as always - but sometimes I need the pressure I guess. Detlef and his wonderful wife loved it, so I think it was worth the long hours. And the wedding was great, which weddings are not necessarily are! We had loads of fun. Well, I think you have already guessed, where their honeymoon trip takes them to ...

These are some of the inked sketches I did. I decided to do them seperately to be able to move them around later on. For some unknown reason I skipped the moose.

I like too much about this to put into words so...nice job. It's gorgeous.
I love this. I also love people's interpretation of Canada ;) being from Canada and all.
Really nice. Thanks for including the separate inked elements, its cool to see how you built it up!
Beautiful! And thanks a lot for all those different steps and close-ups - really useful and inspiring. |^^|
Nice :-)

Really a great one, Dr. Kurth!
But beware of the biting midges.
Just wonderful. Ein wunderbar komponiertes Teil. Wui.
Thanks a lot for your comments, I really appreciate it!
@Kevin: I'm flattered! Thanks a lot.
@Koyote & McT421: You're welcome! Those seperate elements always make it much more complicated but give you the chance to play around with the layout.
@Tooninator: I've never been to Canada so I hope it's not too zany! Btw, People's interpretation of Germany is always quite interesting too :)
@Thies: Those midges can't be worse than in Scandinavia!
@Florian: Herzlichen Dank!
