  1. For some reason your duck is way more sexual.

  2. Excellent. I have never been partial to Donald Duck but this version would make me want to read the comic. It's much funnier with this Duck in the rain. His annoyed expression is perfect.
    And Ted, that's weird but true.

  3. anthony vukojevich sez:

    I love it....much more cold and bleak in black and white.
    Those boots look extra-cute on a more naturalistic duck.
    Now I'd like to see you take on Howard the Duck Magazine cover #5.

  4. I went back to the well with this one. I was recently asked to contribute a drawing for an exhibition in Oslo celebrating Donald's 75th birthday. I thought I would do another cover, but this time in black and white.

  6. Love it! It's so well done. I'm a bit sad it's not in muted color or grey tones.

    Also, I just realized something... When I first came to this sight, I, of course, viewed all the previous entries. My very favorite was the Donald in a diver's mask. I was too new to notice that the creator of it and this site was one in the same! You kick ass, Robert!

  8. Thanks fellows. I do like giving this a try from time to time. It's a lot of fun. I didn't have time to paint this one.

    Ted - I'm pretty sure that you just violated your restraining order.

  9. Wow, I didn't realize you did this one! It's one of the first I've really loved enough to comment on! Nice work! I'd really love to see it with color if you ever get a chance!
