Tanja Dannecker Blog Entry |

June 14, 2024, 12:00:27 AM 6/14/24: r/SketchDaily theme, "Free Draw Friday." This week's characters from my anthro WWII storyline are Bernhard and Tanja Dannecker, younger siblings of Margarethe and Christof Dannecker, children of Else Dannecker, stepchildren of Ernst Dannecker. (I haven't drawn Else's unnamed/deceased first husband yet.) I don't know much about them as they and Else are estranged from Gret throughout most of the story; only Christof shows Gret any sympathy for what she went through. There'll be more about them later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se. Regarding their design, they're white Pomeranians. TUMBLR EDIT: I'm not 100% certain but I estimate that Christof is maybe two years younger than Gret; Bernhard is two years younger than Christof; and Tanja is a year younger than Bernhard. Thus one reason they all look around the same age in my art, despite Gret being around 20 or so, meaning Bernhard and Tanja would be around 16 and 15 in this art. (Their father was a poor, low-ranking member of the Wehrmacht and Nazi Party--cannon fodder, Ernst Dannecker calls him, even though he was once such a soldier himself in the Great War--who was killed on the Eastern Front pretty early on. Else's children were born in relatively quick succession, and in one adult WIP I make passing mention that there were a few miscarriages and a stillbirth in among them.) Another reason they all look the same age is that they're purebred Pomeranians--compare them to their mother, who also looks the same. (Whenever I draw their biological father, he too will look the same.) They're all relatively petite in size--people keep mistaking 5' tall Gret for a child when she's full grown--and so always look pretty youthful compared to the Danneckers, who are purebred Siberian huskies (and are pretty tall in general, Walther isn't as tall as his son but he and Margit are both taller than average and I estimate Dannecker himself is probably around 6'4"). The rest of this will be truncated in Tanja's entry to save repetition. Please see Bernhard's entry for more info on these characters. [Tanja Dannecker 2024 [Friday, June 14, 2024, 12:00:27 AM]] |
