Community Spotlight Little Duck

Duck, quick to remind us that he is neither little nor an aquatic bird, is a 23-year-old architecture student student based out of Plymouth and a big fan of The Escapist‘s content. He spends his nonexistent free time doing things like creating the aforementioned sigils, which we hope will someday be available for purchase. We asked Duck to share his artistic process and his personal life with us, and here’s how he replied: How long have you been a member of The Escapist, and what about the site brought you here? What is your favorite current The Escapist feature? You have created sigils for the crew members of the The Escapist‘s Podcast. Tell us a little about doing that. What gave you that inspiration? How did you go about making them? Do you do other artwork, too? What types? I then researched their names, their origins, and tried to figure out a way to represent both in game of thrones and in our world. I don’t think there were that many sketches between actual final product and original and I did want to do others, but I study architecture and it doesn’t leave me a lot of time during the week to do stuff. Are there any tips you can give to other artists? Side note, the avatar I use actually came from my uni course as they were teaching me to use some drawing programs. What has your job experience been like? Any interesting stories? In your free time, apart from browsing The Escapist, what do you do with yourself? Do you have any pets? What are they and what are their names? Do you have a favorite game/movie/band/painting/etc. that you’d like more people to be aware of? His goal in life is to find the biggest stick in the world and chew it. A goal he has problems with as he barely reaches people’s shins.
