pekkatopohanta asked: hey can i just say, it's nice to see how much effort you put only into the background characters in your stories? more often than i'd like i see duck artists take the easy way out and make everyone into a simple dog nose, but there's always so much variety in your comics! like the latest one, there was a bore, a beaver, i think i saw a bull in there?it's clear that you put a lot of thought into them. your work is amazing, i'd love to read it officially published someday!!

Thank you! I’ve been trying to improve on that and honestly I have found the best way to defeat the ‘urgghhhh ohhh maaaan why are there so many background characterssss’ feeling is to make them look like they have their own story! Like oh hey I wonder where this dude is going, where did they get that bike, how difficult is it to find nicely tailored pants that accommodate a beaver tail etc. etc.

Anonymous asked: damn, I love how you made Lady Luck and Fortuna so stunning and yet didn't make them feel secondary- like, they're the power in that picture and Gladstone is totally in their hands. Also, did you make Lady Luck look like a bubble on purpose?

Shucks man, thanks! I am really glad if that communicated because that’s really what I was aiming for- and yes I did! I don’t know if it’s a regional thing or just my family but I’ve been brought up with the association that a long lasting bubble means good luck; because luck is as fragile and rare as one of those.
