Disney Multiverse

Black History Month Art Challenge

Featuring characters made by Barks (Gyro & Lil Helper), Rosa (Fulton), Gervasio (Copernicus, Cartesius, etc), Mastantuono (Mad Ducktor) and others .

This was mostly based on the trees made by Marco Gervasio and Gilles Maurice .

As you can see, I made a lot of liberties on their designs .

Other characters that you might not know include :

•Prof. Pardalto - Gyro's maternal grandfather originating from the totally contradictory "History of Duckburg" series .

•Sonia Pardalto - Gyro's aunt, originating from Brazil .

•Uncle Euclid - Gyro's uncle, a bungling inventor according to INDUCKS . First appearance is on a Strobl story .

•Dana Data - Gyro's girlfriend, first appearance is on a story written by Janet Gilbert . Appeared on 2 stories, the other by Lars Jensen .

•Gadget Gearloose - Ratchet's twin, appeared in "The McDuck Journals" by Kari Korhonen in 2019 . Described as slightly odd, feels better to make him Euclid's father . I knew him in a scanlation which I forgot where I read it from (though I took a screenshot of it for reference) .

Note : I didn't include the other characters here since I don't know them to begin with and that they don't have a INDUCKS page or don't appear in any wikis .

The three Fates sharing an eye.

Hades’ flaming hair. 

The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.

The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.

And the opening sequence

This last decade has shown such amazing growth in the field of animated television! It will be sad to see the era that had so many loveable series come to an end.

final version:

And the kid Anna is based off of is actually this sweet peasant girl who is rescuing her best friend whom everyone else thought drowned and whom no one cared for because mirror shards got in his eyes and he only saw beauty in snowflakes while everything else was just disgustingly foul to him. Except he didn’t drown because he was whisked away by the snow queen.

Like this girl gives her shoes to the river to find out he didn’t drown. Her hair ribbons to the birds to find out who took him. Works her hands raw to get to him and has to suffer a mental breakdown because she got SO FUCKING CLOSE to saving him and he won’t even look at her because he wants to solve this puzzle the snow queen gave him.

There was a Soviet animated movie from 1957, that doesn’t brush over any of the things you just listed.

You get Gerda on her journey, meeting all of those people that both hinder her quest and help her, with older women from different regions of northern europe, as well as several princesses who aid her

also the art style and animation is absolutely gorgeous and I always feel like it’s a shame that older Soviet animation is barely recognized around the world 

Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck by ~CarlosMota

The video says it's a Pepper's Ghost effect. It basically means the riders are viewing this scene through an angled piece of glass. Out of sight of the riders is the Beast animatronic, which is lit up with much brighter lighting, that the glass is angled towards. The image of it ends up reflected in the glass due to the light bouncing off it.

The Beast disappears when it stops being lit up, revealing the Prince animatronic that was there the whole time.
