Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

natssketches:

so in the RPG That’ll Never Be, i wanted to draw some more NPCs to populate the world, right? helpful friends (friends?) to talk to. i asked around for some ideas because i mean there are so many ducks to choose from. I knew for sure I wanted to add Magica and Gladstone, and my wonderful companions gave me Gizmoduck and.. Dean McCoppin? 

so. fuck yes. Dean McCoppin is in my canon duckverse now. change my mind.

also: unlocked Magica as a playable character!

while reading through the barks archive i screencapped every non-standard duck outfit for reasons that are frankly beyond me and now i have all this data and no possible use for it? here’s some favourites, i guess. ducks are cute.

you’ll notice that most of the duck family’s costume changes are situational - befitting the weather or their job or some special occasion - while scrooge went through a lot of outfits before settling on his standard one - the transition from gowns worn by old men who just want to be comfortable to jackets worn in the streets matches his character evolution - while gladstone is the only main character to regularly change his clothes and colour scheme for no reason other than fa-fa-fa-fashion.

Gladstone probably doesn’t even wash his clothes he just throws them out after wearing them once.

this is the worst true thing anyone has ever said on any of my posts.

well of all the things I thought I’d spend my afternoon off doing

something I get asked about with unnerving regularity is what I think ducks without clothes would look like- which is hilarious to me as they are? ducks? but it’s good learning and good practice for me to make these notes. All of this is just how I do things so don’t take it as law! Also I’m always trying to improve and I promise you in a month’s time I will be horrified at how off model these are. The first pictures are examples from Carl Barks and I basically choose that as my default as to how the Disney Ducks look/behave without clothes… which is not very differently at all! Also I love that Scrooge is just a cuddly soft duck look at him don’t you just want to hug that grouchy old bazillionaire gosh

shucks! I am so glad, they’re really good stuff! also- yes! there’s a lot of instances where he gets used for his luck, but I can immediately think of this instance from The Secret of Hondorica by Carl Barks (fair warning- has your typical misrepresentation of native peoples and tribes, but it does have story merit, great art and Gladstone gets to be a Real Stinker in it and totally deserves what he gets!)

and for those interested- this is O Lucky Man as mentioned by anon!
