urgh, the most galling thing about my hands still being wrecked is I was SO CLOSE to finishing this next doodle comic (if I was able to work normally I’d finish it in like, 4 days max) and I have cold too now?!?! weak. anyway here’s some costume design/colour prep for the next NEXT doodle comic
also bonus super scribble deleted scene from the end which has changed now but heck I still think it’s cute even without context so fight me
Happy Valentine’s day!
There’s an old Carl Barks comic with Gladstone in it which opens with: “if this was a fairytale, it would probably start like this; Once upon a time there was a Great King of Luck…” or something along those lines. It’s such an unusual intro and I always thought that was a cute idea- Gladstone being a lonely king or prince of luck, but what if one day a ‘wicked’ witch came to the kingdom to shake things up… and then he wasn’t quite so lucky, or so lonely, ever after?
Also I mean. There’s this damned ancient cheesy earworm which I’ll never stop loving and you have to suffer with me.
I been working really hard lately SO time for magicstone doodle reward! I seem to remember reading that witches have to brush their hair 100 times every morning or something? dunno if the same applies to sorceresses but it would be a cute thing to help out with =v=
bonus bc why would I not-
I don’t have any consoles that can play this game thank heaven for commentary free let’s plays
I LOVE THEM THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD AND COOL p.s. please don’t tag/post spoilers w’ this I’m only at the Toy Story world :’D
so I’ve been basically avoiding? learning to draw Gladstone’s hat properly for 2 years and there ain’t no excuse for that (also it is sort of important in the next comic so time to Sit Down and Study) I’m nearly there I think but for those interested in the process (which is similar to how I learn to draw Most Stuff):
a) figure out what kind of hat it is - either a homburg or a fedora (NOT A TRILBY DON’T YOU M’LADY ME) in most comics or at least some sort of crazy hybrid. a homdora. fedburg… a ferg. then like, try drawing real ones of those a while and start edging towards stylising them for comic usage.
b) quickly realize the comics know how to do this much better than I do so look at those real hard and figure out how to break them down for drawing/start blending the notes I had on Real Hats with those to get the look I want
c) get some sort of semblance of understanding of the drawing of hats which is not at all perfect but is at least less bad and uninformed than I was 24 hours ago and I can use to build on and hopefully get better at it as I keep drawing lots and lots of hats forever and ever and eeever
no time for new drawings today but here’s some old patreon rewards of Young Gladstone for ya
the bottom was my attempt at coming up with a cohesive style for the white balloon which I absolutely failed to stick to :Tb
