well okay or I could do this instead of starting actual work this morning- just an alternate take on the new Gladstone design! done kinda quick but I had fun (colours of last two are based off the old comics and the modern comics)
tried to smush the concepts from the other designs?
in all absolute honesty I do… feel the same, like they just missed the mark of what the essence of Gladstone’s look is- taking a new angle and using a new style is awesome, no problems with that at all! but especially that second anon there you kinda hit the nail on the head with the key features business, but it is very early days and we haven’t seen him in motion yet! perhaps the design will work better/we’ll get more used to it during the actual show? that said I have been itching to have a try at tweaking it… maybe I’ll try later
Without Donald, Gladstone feels safe and complains about his insecurities and fears of not being worthy of his luck, and about others finding he disgusting.
Fethry tries to help, as friendly as always but acting as he know the problem…
In the last pannel, Gladstone looking to Fethry is so… Touching. And sad (Isn’t it supposed to be funny? ¬¬).

#fRICKING dONALD #XXD#I’m laughing so much because Gladstone’s so in his own perfect little world that the kids just…bring down all his stuff and let him have his sunbath while everyone else is stressed the heck out #Child #It’s like when parents are freaking out over a serious issue and then their oblivious kid comes asking for a pack of hersheys #they just give it to him and let him eat in the corner while they go back to their shouting and anxiety
