Part two of two! This was a nice break, thanks for being so patient I think my hands will be able to get back to my usual slog from tomorrow but yeah, how ‘bout them ducks hey. Can’t wait for the genuine new Ducktales to throw all these headcanons out the window but y’know, taking advantage of that lead.
Part one can be read here!
this was fun! trying to guess what the new Ducktales kids would behave like from the trailer and a more cynical/mean Gladstone from the good ole’ days- might be totally off the mark as to what they’ll turn out like but hey
part one of two! Part two can be read here!
So I have folks asking about my process/what I count as a doodle comic a fair bit, and the answer is it kind of changes? mostly I guess doodle comics are a) fan comics of some sort and b) not ‘finished’ finished they usually have scribbly bgs or structure lines left in them. Mostly my drawing process is like above- a loose silhouette or line sketch, then some blocking in and refinement, complicated objects/establishing shots, and then line art last if I can be bothered ahaha um.
Generally I do thumbnails for all the pages and then work the dialogue over it, which I usually have a vague idea for but I always change it and try to streamline it as I go; I’m more visually driven, so I almost always start with image and then move on to the words. Sometimes (like the bottom image here) there are panels that I want to get down on the paper/screen before they melt out of my brain, so I just start and let the energy bubble out while it’s there.
I have a whole heap of short stories on the back burner ready for when I finally finish TPatJ; the one I think I might do first is a little coffee-shop love story bc I have actually never done one of those, shockingly.
anyway here’s some concept art for one of the leading ladies
kids won on the doodle comic poll but I wanted to doodle these two together anyway because I’m not the boss of me
morally dubious sass pals judge locals while sharing latest gossip on hexes
looks like the kids are winning on that poll so tried to figure out their make so I can abuse it and make a hideous hybrid with my own style
some more new!Ducktales doodles for warm up bc reluctant babysitter antics
(I know I only have the first trailer to go on but I can really see Louie and Gladstone being snarky ‘dead-inside’ friends…)
attempt at drawing in the new Ducktales style? I have no idea what these characters will actually look like but I really hope they all make a showing :’D
