Summertime

Illustration: Summertime 1
I've been recently asked to do an odd job , completing a Don Rosa's illustration !!!

WOW !!! no pressure there ... no sweat at all ! ( why is the world suddenly spinning around ?! )

A french magazine wanted to publish a summer illustration by Don but the illustration they had in mind was very small and half hidden by a huge duck
so they asked me if I can just keep the original drawing but make it bigger and complete the missing parts ( hidden by the duck )
so I did !
And since Gus Goose was not a very famous or popular character , he was removed and replaced by Donald .

I tried to do my best to preserve Don Rosa's original style by re-reading his stories a lot and in basing my drawings on his stuff

( as you can see , it always gets a lot darker when its printed grrrr )

I hope you like it folks !

You've done a great job on this, Mac! It's a shame that Don Rosa don't do any more Duck stories.

there are other excellent Disney comic drawers like Marco Rota ( though the plots are not as thick as Don Rosa's were )

He retired and is in a quarell with Di$ney

He only sells stuff on conventions in the US ( fan arts etc) and sometimes comes in europe when he's invited

You'll never read another story from him i'm afraid

I like it very much. smile.gif
You captured his style well. I wouldn't have noticed a difference.

Btw, is Don Rosa doing new stuff or is he retired?
