Backers requested I draw more animation and comics characters, so here's a little of both: my take on the new designs for the upcoming DuckTales reboot!

I enjoyed the 80s show well enough when I was a kid, but the Scrooge McDuck comics (by the legendary Carl Barks and other great duck artists like Don Rosa) are some of my favourite comics ever. Carl Barks' Scrooge is an all-time great comic character -- I hope the new show doesn't soften his rough edges as much as the previous one did.

One change the new show is definitely making is giving the nephews distinct personalities, rather than presenting them as a singular hivemind. I tried to work a bit of that into this, although to be honest, I'm not really sure what their distinct personalities are actually going to be, outside of some minor indications in the trailer and key art. I guess we'll see!

I'm excited for the show! The voice casting is very good (David Tennant nails it as Scrooge), and the nephews' designs and voices don't do anything crazy. Their voices sound natural, sincere; nothing about them feels forced. Also really cool that Donald is gonna be a more prominent character as opposed to only showing up every now and then.
