"Megawatt Saves the Prom!" (Or ATTEMPTS to, anyway...)
This picture is an illustration for my second Darkwing story, "Reversed Polarity" (hopefully coming soon to a website or two near you.) The picture actually came first, THEN the story, but both were inspired by a comment that somebody said about my _first_ Darkwing story ("Phantom Hero (The Innocents)") at Fanfiction.net...something about how, at some point, in the _Negaverse_ timeline, Negaduck must have made _his_ first appearance at his senior prom and tried to DESTROY it! (As opposed to the "normalverse" version, in which the _good_ guy Drake Mallard becomes _Darkwing_ Duck for the first time at _his_ prom, and tries to SAVE everybody--from the newly-created Megavolt.) Well, that comment suddenly sparked off (no electricity pun intended) my creative tendencies, and I thought, "Hey, that's right, Negaduck _would_ have tried to destroy the prom...and who...exactly...would be the one who tried to _stop_ him, in that universe? Why...MEGAVOLT, of course! In the _Negaverse_, he's a GOOD guy, after all! Whoah, what a cool idea!" So I instantly had to draw a picture of that opposite-version fateful first fight. (I sounded like Darkwing for a second there...)
So, here we have the GOOD guy Megavolt facing off against the newly-created Negaduck, both of them only 17. (Aww. :P) I've drawn Megsy before many times and in many forms, of course (hey, what can I say...he's just plain fun to draw. Very expressive face, and you can CUT LOOSE with special-effects when it comes to showing his powers...) but this is my first time drawing Negaduck, it seems. (Not counting his "Switchverse" counterpart, Nemesis.) I apologise for the chainsaw--I couldn't find a screenshot of him carrying one so I had to completely make something up. Oh, well. At least you get the impression that what he's holding is designed to cause _harm_, anyway. I also consider it to be something of a triumph that I managed to make him come across as menacing, even while wearing THAT outfit. (giggle)
