DID YOU KNOW: A spin-off game to the Epic Mickey franchise was planned called 'Epic Donald'.
Starring Donald in the titular role, the planned game would've been heavily based off of the old DuckTales comics.
A prototype remains lost.

Pro Tip; “Aspiring” “Eventual” and “Hopeful” are words to leave out of your twitter profile if you want to be taken seriously for gigs. As I’ve said before, if you draw you’re an artist. If you write you’re a writer. Don’t downplay it because you haven’t been paid yet
I know these are supposed to be all Disney Studios Animation characters but who should have been given a token place in the photo? (Marvel/Pixar/Star wars doesn’t count)
I’ll start…
Roger Rabbit.
Let’s learn how to draw proper cartoon hats. We’ll start with one of the ones I have experience in. Darkwing Duck wears an exaggerated wide brimmed fedora (or slouch hat.) The hat should look like it actually fits on the head so width of the crown should be as wide as the head.
You stuck around after Ewoks
You stuck around after Boba Fett went out like a punk
You stuck around after a SECOND Death Star
You stuck around after Jar Jar
You stuck around after “That’s so Wizard”
You stuck around after “I hate sand”
And THE LAST JEDI was your breaking point?
Aloha guys, Hawaii resident here.
Big favor to ask-Don’t come here right now. Please. Our ICU beds are full. We’re not so much worried you’re going to bring covid with you but if you get it while your here, or have some other reason to be hospitalized, there are no beds available
Hat Tutorial 8-
The peaked cap is worn with uniforms both military and civilian. It has a visor which is made from a shiny, leather type material and a soft fabric crown. An insignia or badge is worn on the front of the crown to show affiliation or rank.

To everyone in this thread saying Scrooge McDuck, you have never been more wrong about anything in your life. Just think about his nemesis-A two bit hustler that spends his life trying to discredit his betters
At SDCC in the men’s room. A line of 3 urinals. I was on the left, Nathan Fillion was in the center stall and an obviously nervous fanboy to his right. Nathan turned to him and said “It’s okay. You can look”
Hat Tutorial 6-
José Carioca wears a straw hat known as a Boater. It’s considered a semi-formal hat for outdoor events. A Boater has a stiff crown and brim featuring a patterned ribbon. José’s black ribbon and Brazilian style often misidentifies his hat as a Panama.
Darkwing Duck debuted 31 years ago today! I was lucky enough to work on his continuing adventure for a short time. Here’s a look at the process that went into creating the cover for issue one of the volume 2 run. Always ready to do more.
He is the terror that flaps in the night! They are St. Canard's most dangerous supervillains!

In tribute to the last
@DuckTales
I present to you my costume for the Disneyland 2019 Mickey’s Halloween Party. The sheer number of people who saw my costume and said “Hey, nice Popeye” is, in my opinion, the most on-brand Donald thing ever.

I live again-
I am vengeance-
I am the unwanted nose zit on the prom photo of crime-
SDCC commission preorders open June 1. No walk-up commissions this year so preorders will be the only way to get a custom piece. Details at
Mahalo for all the aloha and funds you are sending for Maui recovery. Currently Big Wow! Art is running art auctions on Facebook to further benefit the people of Maui. This is an original piece I've donated and it will go up for bidding on Monday 8/21. Good luck.
Up, up and AWAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!
Existing commissions will be mailed this week and holiday commissions orders will be open on Monday, November 15. Check out for details. International orders welcome but not guaranteed for Christmas delivery
Guys, after much debate and consideration, I’ve come to the conclusion I’m not ready for
@DuckTales
to end. If the entire cast and crew will drop what they’re doing and get to work on season 4 by 3 PM today I’d appreciate it.
Just finished
@fantagraphics
new edition of Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck and I can say without hesitation it is now my life’s goal... nay, DESTINY to draw the follow up/counterpoint-
The Life and Times Of Launchpad McQuack!
Who’s with me?
(Sound of crowds cheering)
(Hopefully)
As much as I’m looking forward to Across the Spider-verse, I humbly think we set a pretty high bar for multiverse superhero stories…

As you may have heard,
@Aaron_Sparrow
& I won’t be a part of the new DW comics from Dynamite. Thank you for the awesome run and stay tuned for new stuff!
One time I was discussing DW’s helmet with
@TadStones
I never drew him wearing the helmet while riding the Ratcatcher. I thought it made him seem more “Dangerous”. Tad’s response was an over-the-glasses look of disapproval.
“Let’s get dangerous!” The animated series “Darkwing Duck” premiered on The Disney Channel on this date in 1991. When average citizen Drake Mallard dons a mask, hat, and cape, he becomes the swashbuckling crimebuster…Darkwing Duck!
Hat Tutorial 3-
Scrooge McDuck wears a silk top hat to befit his station as the richest duck in the world. Not collapsable like an Opera hat or made of wool like a Coachman’s hat, the topper is acceptable for both day or nighttime formal wear and adventuring.
My one comment for now.
Nailed it. The DT crew captured the fun & heart from the original show. The voices and animation were spectacular.
And most importantly they share with me the core belief that Darkwing Duck looks like a noob if he wears a helmet while riding the Ratcatcher
Fasten your seatbelts, SDCC commission preorders open tomorrow, Wednesday June 1 at 12 noon PDT. There are no walk up commissions this year so this will be the only way to get a custom piece. Email me at silvaniart

Artist Pro Tip:
Never accept a Facebook friend request from the popular girl in high school who never talked to you back in the day. She wants you to illustrate her children’s book idea.
Spoiler alert- it’s horrible.
This was a new headshot style I was experimenting with before my time off from making new art. 5x7” on board finished in Copics. $90 shipped. Reply below if you want it.
