Okay, I’ve been asked and ASKED by my friends and family to
finally „do something” with my work, so here it is. My first post and the Duck Family
I made with self-hardening clay. They’re all roughly the size of a toothpick,
if you’re wondering about the scale. Disney Ducks have been my obsession for a
solid year now and this is the effect.
Scrooge McDuck – my favourite character and first figurine I
made. I think it took me about a week to finish. Now I can speed up the process
to half a day, if I’m really motivated. But this remains the one I’m most proud
of.
Donald and Della. I went with comic design for Della, but
kept her Ducktales outfit (except pants). I can’t wait to learn more about
her!
Huey, Dewey and Louie. Those were really hard to made and
I’m still not entirely satisfied with how they turned out. I wanted to keep
classic comicverse designs for everybody, but I absolutely adore their
different personalities in the new show, so I couldn’t bring myself to make
them exact copies of each other.
Daisy, Gladstone and Fethry. For some reason, I JUST
COULDN’T GET DAISY RIGHT! This is like, third version of her body and
I-don’t-even-know which one of her face! Fun fact: Fethry actually started out
as her! But when I was molding the beak, I decided it’ll suit him better. I
think he turned out pretty cute.
Grandma Duck, Gus Goose and Gyro Gearloose. Grandma and Gus
were really quick to make, but Gyro was PAIN! I had no idea how to make his
hair, and don’t even get me started on Little Helper… A bit of fun trivia: in
Poland, where I’m form, Little Helper is called „Wolframik” which is like a pet
name of wolfram – polish name for tungsten – the element used in old light
bulbs. I think it’s so clever and cute! I didn’t even get it as a kid, I just
realized it recently!
Brigitta, Miss Quackfaster, Matilda and Goldie. This is
actually second version of Brigitta, as the first one I made turned out a
little too big compared to others. For some reason I really love Quackfaster
here. And this is also second head for Matilda – the first one I made was
SCARY! I really wanted to make Hortense as well, as I LOVE all McDucks
siblings, but in the comics she’s dead and I didn’t want to get started with
flashback characters – because then there will be no end. As for Goldie – I
worked really hard on her, trying to make her perfect. I’m really proud of the
hair. I didn’t make her in her iconic red dress because I made it before and
didn’t want to repeat myself.
And finally the Villians! Magica, Glomgold and Rockerduck.
Not much to say here. Glomgold reminds me a little of Angus McDuck with all of
this fluff. Magica looks a little thin here, but I kinda like it (or I‘m too
lazy to change it). Rockerduck’s glasses were a challenge.
Well, that’s all for now. I hope you all like it! Any
feedback is appreciated. :)
THESE ARE REALLY GREAT you’re super talented! all the details and the perfect poses, I hope you’re really proud of these cause man I love them
Part three! Thanks for reading, this was such a blast to make. Will be taking a breather before the next one but yeah deffo using this method again someday.
part two! final past should be up tomorrow evening- thanks for all the kind responses, you guys are so good to me and I’m really glad you enjoy these! as ever, full size in new tabs is best, or you can hang on to tomorrow when I’ll post the whole thing to my website!
Part one! This was a really fun way to draw this comic, I will very likely use the same method in the future! Thanks for always waiting so patiently for this and all my other art stuff. Open in new tabs for best reading experience.
