Description
Hey look, typography!I thought I'd try to expand my design repetoire a bit by using type and framing and stuff. "Le Dolce Vita" was the first MP3 I came across that I liked, so that's why it says that.
Hope this is random enough for ya.

Damn, the coloring on this is flawless. The Rescue Rangers takes me way back, it had one of the theme songs.

That it did, I only wish modern TV shows had theme songs as good.

Gadget is one of my favorite characters... it's so nice to see fan art of her that is truly art <3
You did a beautiful job on this, not just the take on the characters, but also the boldness of the graphic design!

A quick note to let you know your picture is now up at

Since the calendar has grown over the years to now average about 10 pages, we eat up memory space very quickly and have to keep adding new sites. Not that I'm complaining!
Thank you again for your permission!

I just rediscovered Ducktales on Toon Disney. They don't always air the old shows, so I want to catch it while I can. Nice work. Sassy.

I love the way her clothes look, the shading is very well done. You should be proud of yourself for this one.

Thank you very much. It seemed right to give her a red undershirt, although it was probably white in the cartoon. I like how red works against purple.

Gadget and Zipper!!
Nice illustration, it has that WW II patriotic look to it

Yup. When all the men, women, and children are sent off to fight Nazis, we must rely on house vermin to stand up and uphold America's industry and commerce. Wow, that would be a funny and ridiculous story!

It would probably fit right in. I seen some WHOPPERS!

Oh, Gadget. A childhood hero <3
Mm, your work is starting to have a real "videogame" aesthetic (the slick, 3D colouring + outlines, I guess 
Great job

If you're not already familiar with him, you might be interested in the work of Alphonse Mucha. A great deal of his work is done like this, except he does a lot more with the decorative linework he weaves around his realistic and semi-realistic characters. It's impossible to over-exaggerate the influence his work has on current art, particularly comic and manga art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow... his work is gorgeous. Thanks for pointing him out to me
His work does have a very graphic novel aesthetic to it, though.

Excellent coloring, excellent. Like the background too. Would probably make a good advertisement. She's from ducktails, if memory serves me correctly.

Rescue Rangers, but close, they came on back to back way back when. Thanks for the kindly words good sir.

Say, I put together the monthly "Chip n Dale's Rescue Rangers fan art Calendar" (we're just starting our seventh year of collecting RR art):

Ah, yes, Gadget. One of the many mandatory crushes on cartoons from the childhood.
Superb!

stunning airbrushing, that coke bottle looks real.

Thanks! I used a reference photo to get all the gleams and highlights looking proper. I exaggerated some of the shape and grooves though.

i vaguely remember that show...wonder if its out on dvd like so many others?

It definitely is, and I think Volume 2 is out or coming out soon.

What show is this character from? I feel like I should remember it, and it's right on the top of my brain, but it won't come to me! **is frustrated!**
I like this piece.

She's from Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, came on around '87 or '88 I suspect. So's that pair of yellow eyes above her, they belong to their fly friend Zipper.
I remember being very disappointed as a kid whenever some talkshow host said they were going to have Chip 'n' Dale on their show, and it ended up being the Chippendale Dancers. Very very disappointed.

I love it! Although I remember Gadget with a little bigger bustline...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, she may well have had one, but I was already uncomfortable endowing her as much as I did. I didn't want this to become some kinda furry thing, which admittedly it already sorta has. But thanks a lot for the comps!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh... I can understand that. And I blame Disney for all the furry thing...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess you'd have to blame Disney for that. There would have been others had Disney not made it so big though. Did you know Betty Boop was originally a dog woman? They replaced her ears and black nose with human features a couple years after creating her. And of course there were the underground comix artists like R. Crumb drawing cat people having sex and whatnot. I thik it was destined to happen no matter how you look at it.

Sweet deal, I remember that cartoon.

Gadget looks great and the bottle does too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep yep. I used your drawing of her as my main reference. It was perfectly on-model, and also the biggest and cleanest image on the entire internet of her. I can't believe it's so hard to find decent reference for some of these characters. But at least Coke bottles are easy to find

Thanks a plenty! Hopefully this isn't skating too close to furry territory (yes, I read your journal, they creep me out too), but sometimes it's unavoidable.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no for me its nothing like the stuff i was on about...more like a character you'd get in an animation. Good stuff

Awesome, great style for Gadget! Love the smudged effect, gives the character a great sense of depth ;^)
