After winning a mini-fortune during the Spring (southern hemisphere) Carnival several months ago I thought I'd back up again for the Autumn Carnival. Unfortunately, this time around I sustained a small loss. Alas my time of late has been consumed by punting and fantasy football and not creative endeavours, maybe with all those distractions partially out of the way I'll get back to drawing sometime soon.
But in the meantime this old drawing of a 1996 Victorian Racing Club Derby winner - Portland Player - beating Alfa and Ebony Grosve (dead heat for second) will have to suffice. Yep I was there that day, decidedly hot day if I recall correctly and collected on the trifecta as well. OK that's enough for now, more fantasy football numbers to crunch. <<Older Main Newer>>

At last, I’ve found your blog! Now that I have, I hope the betting doesn’t win over the creativity! Great drawing!

The silk on the shirts and the muscle structure/veins/texture on the horse muzzles are spectacular…my vote is put your roto clubs on self-manage for a while and get back to drawing…

Another great one Detlef! Especially like the texture differences. All the gambling jokes have been said. Oh that’s right, you’re a punter .. there is supposed to be a difference

The details astound me. Where do you get the patience?

I missed this when you posted it but naturally I love it! I would love to see you try colour or, like in some of your work, just add touches of it.
