commission for toonqueen! they asked for Gladstone and Magica as Epic Mickey animatronics! Really fun to do, I always loved the aesthetic of those games :D
Gladstone’s entire lower jaw is missing, but he can still talk via the speaker in his bowtie! It’s a bit crackly though. I like to imagine Magica can breath fire like the giant robot Maleficent dragon from the parks but it goes wrong a lot so she just ends up coughing out black smoke and sparks…
Reblogging this just now but will reblog again with the three different headcanon ideas I have for their backstories because WHY NOT.
Thank you @modmad !!!! They look great. You did a wonderful job translating my terribad sketches!!! Love the color and detail. I also love your headcanon of Magica breathing fire and Gladstone having a limp.
I’ll write all my headcanon later but the one thing I must share now is the idea of Gladstone having that voice box which I have to explain my train of thought on lol.
From the moment I saw the early trailers for Epic Mickey I took it as Disney making their version of survival horror but Disneyfied. My favorite survival horror is Silent Hill. One of the things in most Silent Hill games is a radio you carry with you that statics when monsters are near as a warning. Since Animatronic Gladstone wouldn’t technically have the luck real Gladstone has it would sure be handy to know when trouble is near so you can avoid it via the voice box getting worse static if a threat is near. That’s kinda a form of luck. And that doesn’t mean this Gladstone is a coward either, but he rather not be a side quest for a mouse to gather his parts to put him back together.
that is an amazing addition! I love how much you thought the designs through and I’m so glad you like how the picture came out (also shush your sketches were great and very helpful!)- p.s. check out who else liked your idea!
you know. just. the dude. who made the games. that’s all
