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!
Anonymous asked: what really gets me about your duck doodle comics is how warm and cosy and 'just like the Barks ones' they feel- like, if I had to say one example it's how you get Magica just right; she's not a pushover, can be stone cold badass, but we can empathize with her and there's a part of you that wants her to succeed! but you know she won't, and that's okay because she shouldn't- she's greedy and powerful but not evil, not toxic, just a not really 'bad' bad guy who's cute, fun, fallible and fantastic
(read more for rambling) oh my, anon this means an awful lot to me-
Kinda felt like making my own Magica? Her dress is made of shadowy stuff, so she can change its form at will. She can also shapeshift back into her shadow form anytime she wants! Actually just shapeshift into whatever she wants.
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
Anonymous asked: can I just say, thanks for showing me the potential of Gladstone and Magica as a double act? determined vs lazy, serious vs fun-loving, unlucky vs lucky- Like, shipping aside, they work SO WELL as a combination! they balance out and just spontaneously create great situations as characters, I'm really surprised the official comics haven't latched onto it outside of the few stories there are with them both- I could easily see a whole series of magic adventures with them!
AAA THANK YOU see I am glad you put that out there because I’m so obviously biased with shipping them, but I really do think that they work together as friends and adventure buddies first and foremost! Magica doesn’t need anyone to help execute her plans, but I think it’d be healthier for her to have someone to help her be more easy going once in a while and give her some self care lessons- and Gladstone might not admit it often but he loves and needs adventure, and wouldn’t it be nice for them both to have someone who really understood/was interested in the occult to talk to? you’re not alone in envisioning a side series of adventures with them- it’s practically what I’m doing with these doodle comics! but hey, we can dream, right? anyway sorry for lack of posting art lately I’m real busy working on things, but here’s a sketch for a cover of a possible future story for your trouble <3
I am a comedian
The jokes on me, I’m the lucky one
