Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: man I love your alternate Gladstone design- I know you don't do requests and your hands are recovering, but would you ever contemplate doing something similar for Gyro and Glomgold? Only my heart is still majorly bruised from their personalities being changed so much. I actually feel like I can't watch the show because I just see what has been removed or flattened out, not the good stuff which I know is there :C

aw anon I’m sorry to hear that, and a part of me does relate- if it’s hurting you to watch it, perhaps it is best to just say ‘this isn’t for me’ and stop, which is okay! as for the request, a) you’re right I don’t really take them but also b) I actually really like the new designs for them, but as I’ve said before I see these as two completely different characters. They are not the Gyro and Glomgold from the comics, either visually or in terms of personality, so I don’t really feel moved to make them look like it. Also I already feel kinda bad for making an alternate Gladstone design in case people from the show take offence, but really that was just a personal fun/vent project thing- I don’t really want to get known as the go-to person for redesigning Ducktales characters!

Maybe one day I’ll try ‘Ducktales-ifying’ the comic versions for fun, like- try drawing the originals in the new form/line style, but I kind of need to want to do it for fun for that to happen!
