Scrooge McDuck. I didn't paint him a whole lot in 2023, at least not until the holiday season when I realized "Hm, this might be a good time to start painting him", lol.

Referenced mostly from comics, I love the Italian comics. The first few are from Don Rosa comics, while the many after are a mix of Carl Barks and Giorgio Cavazzano.

DuckTales icons because i don't see many of those

Sometimes I may feel a little down, but then I remember that a sea monster ate Scrooge's ice cream, and I feel better because I maybe I was having a relatively bad day, but he got it objectively worse.

Goldie needs to be able to one up Scrooge (it’s practically an addiction). So when the twins arrived and she hated them she needed a new approach. And she already had stocks in Scrooges business and maybe she’s been neglecting them sooo perhaps she should pay some special attention.

Ppl really parted with those amazing matching Dimeshipping Pins on ebay.

And thanks to my friend Stanislao I was able to get them /^0^/

Funko Minis for scale

obsessed with how David Tennant talks about his roles like he didn't just deliver 2 wildly different characters and he I s so nonchalant about it

He's done all of those, and then some. And, impressively, manages to fit those jobs in at the same time as some of his heavier on-screen work, such as when he was filming Broadchurch (along with Les Misérables star Olivia Colman) and DuckTales simultaneously. When asked by IndieWire in 2017 about bouncing back and forth between the two very different series, he simply answered: “Well you know, you just sort of do it, don’t you? You just kind of do the job that’s in front of you I suppose. You just find the tone. It’s all about finding the tone, I think.”

Okay so me and my sister got into a debate and since you like ducktales, what sounds more legit:

F.O.W.L went to the lengthy process of changing Scrooge's chromosomes when cloning Webby, May AND June to make them girls FOR NO REASON, something F.O.W.L does NOT DO (sisters incompetent idea)

or

Scrooge is trans (my CLEARLY superior idea)

Btw gonna be sending the message to a bunch of people for majority rules type stuff

Scrooge is trans

[wazzuppy]

small handful of scrooge icons i made the other day. feel free to use <3!

[michimonie]

A ton of duck lockscreens and homescreens I painted last year. I don't know if anyone wants any of these, but just in case, here you go. I mainly just paint them for my own use, then post them, because if I want one, there might be someone else out there who wants one, too.

The first two are Italian comic and Ducktales 2017 versions of Scrooge on a christmas-themed background.

The next two home screens are made with Daffy Duck (It's easier for me to see the icons when the screen is in black and white...)

The last two are a Donald Duck one based on Chuck Jones concept art for the piano scene from Roger Rabbit, and a spooky Count Duckula the 18th wallpaper based on the Danger Mouse reboot version with his vegetable minions. The last one also comes with a matching icon.

These are all open for anyone to use (though don't steal them and claim them as your own, yadda yadda...), it's not like I created any of these characters, and I like when people can get things of characters they like.

i do think that specifically david tennant being very openly supportive of the trans community has had an interesting effect -- because usually im kinda like "it is nice to know that people whose work i enjoy don't want me dead" and that's kinda my level of (at this point) quite cynical engagement with what a celebrity or artist does or does not think about transness, because these days it feels like it's almost fashionable for well-known (or post-well-known) people to come out of the wordwork and say what they think about trans people, which can get very stressful in its own way (the amount of headlines that try to be misleading or just plain don't say and so you're just like "ok i guess this week i have to find out if [spins wheel] thinks i deserve rights")

but david tennant has a different feeling to it. and to be fair, there are plenty of people with skin in the game, who absolutely deserve to and ought to speak out on behalf of their children/partners/community/friends/family/etc. and im always happy to see these people speak, and dt is included in that list as well

but david tennant is veeery specific in this here country of terf island, in which the labour party will openly state that it will allow certain book writers to affect their policies on trans people, and that's partly because of the effect above in which "having opinions on trans rights seems to be a celebrity game that keeps you relevant, which includes ex prime minister tony blair making his opinion known (hint, it wasn't a good one)" but also because david tennant is known as a national icon to rival that of whatsherface

he was the main actor on doctor who, in the top three, if not very top of british broadcasting iconography that exists. he's one of this generation's most famous shakespearian actors, the other thing that this country-as-culture is most proud of. he's a mainstay in children's film and tv, a standout in modern british crime drama (broadchurch, des), and that's not mentioning things like jessica jones, good omens, and star wars

this guy has no social media, and some of the biggest cultural capital in the uk today -- labour i believe it was made a twitter joke about him ousting the current prime minister as the doctor ahead of this week's election, because that's an iconic scene from doctor who

which means that when he openly calls transphobes whingy and asks them to shut up, there's a bit of a ripple... i mean what are you gonna do, get angry with the doctor? from doctor who??? the man who played a definitive hamlet????? the man who's just done rave reviewed performances of macbeth???? scrooge mcduck????????? this man who occasionally guests on cbeebies???????????

said prime minister and his party and hosts of transphobes go absolutely crazy every time he makes an appearance wearing new trans ally apparel, as if a. he sees any of that and b. it's a dignified response to a man saying, in essence, "i would like my kid to be safe and happy"

david tennant constantly making these statements, again and again, is a powerful voice in the modern fight for trans rights in the UK, in some ways unfortunately, because you wish trans people could have been heard before it got to this state and that it wasn't about being famous, but to be fair, he's also making that point again and again

it kind of feels like the first time in a long time that there's been proper pushback against transphobia in this country from a perspective that the transphobes can't dismiss so easily -- they can try but like. again, one side is a bunch of raving nonsense-spouters on a joke website who mostly belong to a party that's about to get decidedly ousted from the political scene, the other is beloved national icon and star of stage and screen, mr david tennant

of course, it doesn't hurt that the three main actors of harry potter and everyone else who's majorly involved in doctor who, past and present, is also supportive of trans rights, which maybe there's a separate point to be made about the strangeness of a mainstream tv show becoming a cultural battleground for peoples opinions on equal rights, especially now with ncuti gatwa at the helm, because i think some of what ive seen in relation to dw is more extreme than any piece of cultural media ive been alive to witness bigoted reactions to (including star trek), and ncuti gatwa as a black queer man is taking a hell of a lot of flack that is racist and homophobic

but labour... if you're inviting random artists to give you opinions on trans rights, david tennant is right there, and you know he'd make sure to bring along trans rights activists and professionals to get the space in the room they ought to have had all along

[godfrey-the-chaos-duck]

@nerdalmighty I see your tags and I AGREE

GIVE US THE BEHIND THE SCENES RECORDING FOOTAGE DISNEY, YOU COWARDS!

Because David Tennant probably had the MOST fun doing all those things with his voice, from the low mutterings of utmost suspicion to high shrieks of abject horror

Oh the questions i would ask if i ever got to meet him...

Yes, of course I’m alive, you idiot.

@i-am-but-a-beta-fish

I need you to know how much enjoyment I've been having imagining a cat getting into a fight with a betta fish, and it being on equal terms despite the size.

Although, if we went based on icons, I suppose it's Scrooge McDuck who's throwing hands.

Duck Comic Reading Club Week 9: Ducks on the Road

This one, I wanted to read it for some time now. It was my first time reading something with Dickie Duck, and it didn't disappoint.

In fact, I loved it. It was the kind of story that I enjoy the most, a fun slice-of-life style story, with and excelent cast.

We start, with the star… Dickie Duck.

I love her. She can be a bit annoying and selfish, but her positivism, her heart, her attitude, her passion, make her a lovable character. That's the most important thing in this kind of story.

The characters need to work, and Dickie does. She is the heart and soul of Ducks on the Road.

Daisy, on the other hand, is the voice of reason. Grounded, mature and supportive. She's like an older sister for Dickie.

Also, her design here is amazing. She looks so good. Is right there with her DT17 design.

Lastly, we have Gyro. This is the first time I read something with him as a protagonist. He was really likeable, someone you would definitely get behind. His design is also amazing.

Those three are the reason why this comic works.

Gyro, the great friend.

The plot, there's almost no plot. Dickie wants to go to a big audition and they're taking the road, all the way to California.

The first issue was an introduction to our main cast, and the preparations for the trip. Also, Dickie did some awesome paint job on the van.

I love what she did on it. But it was a rental...

For book 2 we had the group helping a couple of stranger that happen to be burglars.

I love that song.

This one use a formula, go to a place, the new guys steal whatever they can, the groups leave. Repeat.

Daisy expressions here are so funny.

The burglars manage to escape, and even take the van wheels with them. Thank God it was ensured.

For book three, our heroes are stuck in the snow and have to spend the night at a suspicious hotel.

I love that song even more.

This one has some Shining vibes, and you're so sure that they're in a ghost hotel. But, turns out that they're sentient holographics. I didn't expect that.

Oh God, she's gorgeous.

For book four, Dickie found a message in a bottle and decides she wants to help whoever wrote that message.

I love that song, but not as much as Hotel California.

In this one, I think we have Dickie at her worst, taking a dangerous detour and believing blindly in the word of some guy she found.

But, to give her credit, that decision helped two lonely souls. Good job Dickie.

And, for the final book, we made it to California.

I don't like that song.

When they're so close to their destination, the van breaks. Daisy and Dickie got in a truck, while Gyro fixes the van. The truck was a circus truck, and Daisy stays with them to help them with ther money problems.

That leaves Dickie by herself. She runs to the audition, but is too late. She missed it.

So, she does what she knows best. She sings. And of course, the Rocking Ducks ear her.

Not only that, they're so impress that they made her part of the band. That's it, Dickie Duck will be a star.

I loved that the owner of the circus, and manager of the Rocking Ducks turned out to be no other than Scrooge McDuck himself. I didn't knew he was on this one, so it was a good surprise.

Daisy is a fashion icon.

The group spent the night at Donald's house. Another nice surprise.

Daisy and Gyro are ready to return to Virginia, when suddenly…

Dickie is back. She decided to not join the band. Now, we all knew she was gonna reject the band. This stories are always this way.

Dickie started as a dreamer, that only cared about her goals. But the trip help her realizes that, what she really wanted was by her side all this time.

Gyro gives his final presentation, and is a success. But he has a final surprise…

I told you, Dickie was going to be a star.

Gyro, you smoth rascal.

Dickie got a bit overwhelmed, but, with John Lennon's Love in the background, she reaches Gyro.

What I can say? I loved this ending. I loved.

I'm sorry, but I love romance in my Duck media. This ending was made for me.

It was great. I loved the characters, I loved the art, the story was a bit plane, but I liked it.

I'm a Dickie Duck fan from now on.

All of the options for preparing entertain me so much 😂😂😅

Basic transcript:

Stephen Colbert: …Scrooge McDuck

David Tennant: I’m racking up the icons

SC: How do you prep to be Scrooge McDuck? I mean, as an actor, what do you do? Do you swim in a pool of gold coins? Do you walk around with no pants and a top hat? How do you prep to play a duck?

DT: Well, I only had a fortnight, so I nested with some mallards for a while. I sat on some eggs…There’s not a lot you can do. There’s not a lot of research. There’s not a lot of… uh, billionaire ducks.

SC: You’ve already got the McDuck accent. You’ve got the Scottish accent down.

DT: I do have. The accent does come free for me, so I did have that.
