"Blathering Blatherskite!" As FURTHER proof
that I have gone off the deep end...here's the Switchverse version of
_Duckburg's_ local superhero--Gizmoduck! Er...Gizmo...gal?
The odd thing is, I HATED Gizmoduck when I first met him on Darkwing, but now
that I've met the REAL Fenton and the "real" Gizmoduck, in their original
environment on DuckTales, I _adore_ the character! His living situation is
just like my own, I'm just as poor as him, I KNOW what it's like to live in a
trailer...and he's a sad, pathetic little loser who thinks he is nothing as
himself. And other people (Scrooge especially) don't do much to alleviate
this impression. So he makes me really feel for him. On the other hand, he's
hysterically FUNNY, coming up with bizzarre wonky schemes and going into
"characters" to fool people--including disguises and accents--at the drop of
a hat. Gizmoduck's super-brave honourable "perfect knight" personality isn't
the REAL Fenton at all-it's a character he's putting on, and DuckTales rarely
lets you forget the real person inside the suit. On Darkwing, they treat that
role he plays as if it IS the real him. Anyway, I set out to draw him, and
somehow ended up Switching him instead--and I got Gizmochick as well! Two
identities for the price of one. I think Gizmochick turned out fairly cool,
considering I normally can't draw mechanical/robotic things AT ALL.
Again, as is the main thing I try for with my "Switchverse" characters, she
has the right EXPRESSION on her face to be Fenton--nervous, confused, and more
than a bit clueless. Whatever the adding machine and the calculator are telling
her about Scrooge's accounts, it appears to not be GOOD news...and she has NO
clue what to do about it. "Don't ask ME", her expression seems to say...
