Big Zeus Update! I’ve been making improvements on Jupiter Zeus’s design. It’s taking its time, but it’s worth it!

Choose Your Mythical Monster Help!
I'm thinking of a big scene in my story in a steampunk/bronzepunk world where the main character would have to fight a monster in the Colosseum that the Roman Empire got their hands on. If anyone has any ideas to consider for ideas, I'm all ears! Please let it be a monster that wasn't killed in Mythology already. I'll do a poll for the top choice.

Odysseus, Telemachus, and their descendent, Ulysses, in Legendary Fugitives be like...
Odysseus: Then I'll become the Monster
I will deal the blow
And I'll become the Monster
Like none they've ever known
Telemachus: Give me sirens and a cyclops
Give me giants and a hydra
I know life and fate are scary
But I wanna be legendary
Ulysses: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Get ready for the compare and contrast coming up for Gremlin Jamface! It’s a ride!
Okay, I want to make one final post for tonight by making a theory to leave in your heads.
Theory: The Gremlin Jamface we see in Epic Mickey Two is not the Gremlin Jamface from the original The Gremlins book. The Jamface we see is Gremlin Jamface the Second as his original father died in the Thinner Disaster. It’s why Gremlin Gus treats Gremlin Jamface as the golden child and leaving others Gus probably adopted like Gremlin Prescott to feel left out.
I’ll let that fester in everyone’s heads…

I just want to post some Malton and Walton quotes for American Arcadia because I've been absent for a while, and you all deserve something. Let me know if you guys want more.
Willow Malton, hungover from brainwashing (maybe): Please tell me I'm imagining that I claimed I was king of the ducks. Elijah Walton: I would, but then I would be lying to the King of All Ducks.

Funny idea for Legendary Fugitives. Any of the Roman Empire Soldiers will be based on Roman Empire Soldiers from old cartoons. They could be from an animated short or episode, Christian tv shows for kids (due to the fact the Roman Empire was featured in the New Testament), educational cartoons and more. If you got any suggestions from something you seen as a kid or something you think is funny as long it doesn’t cross any lines that offends anyone, please share! We’re cursing Jupiter Zeus with the most stormtrooper army from Star Wars who are terrible at hitting their targets!

hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

As a history nerd I got to ask this. Is anyone going to make a documentary of the final days of the Tropicana in Las Vegas? I saw a documentary of the Riviera’s final days and I hope someone will do the same with the Tropicana.

WOW! I never imagined that my Amanda the Adventurer post would still be heavily AGREED on! Especially after Quiet on Set came out from the clips I’ve seen. Creators of the game if you got Tumblr, please keep up with this trend to bring awareness to this horrible abuse!

I think I figured out how a younger version of Prometheus would’ve looked like pre-Prometheus Bound and pre-Legendary Fugitives. In Legendary Fugitives, Prometheus will play a huge role in what I would consider a first season of the story. Due to his powers, Prometheus knows something awful is coming that a lot of people and gods will die. Whatever is going to happen, Prometheus is going to make sure he paves the way where his family, friends, and love ones will survive this mess no matter the cost.

Disney's The Gremlins Over the Years
Chapter 1: Gremlins (Part 2)
This is Part 2 to Chapter 1. If you want to read Part 1 first, it's in the link below.
Due to the recent events with Epic Mickey Rebrushed, I thought of making a series of posts dedicated to Disney's infamous characters from the canceled WWII movie The Gremlins. The character designs of these guys have changed many times during the concept art process and over the years. Today, this is a collection of male Gremlin designs. The female Gremlins were called the Fifinellas, which I will get to them in the next post. For those discovering this, in summary, Disney was making WWII movies and shorts for the war effort. They were going to adapt Roald Dahl's first book about these guys, and several things like people getting tired of war movies and figuring out how to make the movie, which was canceled. I'm making these posts for fun and to help give artists ideas for their OCs and fanart. I would post some sample pictures and a minor breakdown in each post. I might miss some because there is so much, so this is just a handful of pictures and photos I collected over the years. We really need to make a Disney Gremlin's Wiki.
Anyways, let's jump into THE FUTURE!
Canceled Live Action/Animated Project (1992): Jumping forward into the future, Jerry Rees, director of The Brave Little Toaster, and Steve Leiva were trying to make a feature based on the original story with live action with animated gremlins like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The illustrators for the project were Steve Moore and Frans Vischer. Again, GLAD they didn't we didn't get this style of the characters since they're far from the original designs. Here are two samples by Steve Moore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Return of the Gremlins (2008): When Disney made those terrible DVD sequels, Dark Horse and Disney made a deal to reprint the original book, make merchandise, and release a three-part comic sequel in 2008. The first cartoonist was Dean Yeagle, but he could not finish, so DreamWorks artist Fabio Laguna came in to do the final issue. In this story, Old Pilot Gus's grandson, Young Gus, goes to Old Gus's home in Brittan to handle the property sale. But SURPRISE! It's inhabited by the Gremlins that Old Gus befriended during WWII. Chaos ensues...
Tumblr media
Epic Mickey (2010): Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the game that introduced most of us to Disney’s Gremlins. Here are the variants we remember split into two groups: 3D Gameplay and 2D Cutscenes. Going forward, some of these pictures are from the Epic Mickey Wiki.
3D Gameplay
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2D Cutscenes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Epic Mickey Comic (2010): In the 64 page-long graphic novel, the only Gremlin character who appeared in the comic was Gremlin Gus.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Epic Mickey (2012): In the sequel, we get more variants of the Gremlins and a Gremlin Prescott redesign.
3D Gameplay
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2D Cutscenes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Epic Mickey Comic (2012): Gremlin Gus was joined by Gremlin Prescott and Gremlin Jamface.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Donald Duck #18 Comic (2015 IDW): This is the crossover we have wanted since the Comic Cover. In a translated European Swedish comic of 'Rue Brittania!', Donald and Fethry get a new assignment: travel back in time to WWII and face the Gremlins to de-gremlin the airfield. Artists: Pencils and Ink by Flemming Andersen and Colors by Digikore Studios.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's a lot more I could add, but we would be here all day. If this post gets popular enough, I will do more on the side before the game comes out. If there are changes to the Gremlins in the Reboot, I'll make a Part 3. Hope this post is a helpful source for old and new Gremlin and Epic Mickey fans alike!

Disney's The Gremlins Over the Years
Chapter 1: Gremlins (Part 1)
Due to the recent events with Epic Mickey Rebrushed, I thought of making a series of posts dedicated to Disney's infamous characters from the canceled WWII movie The Gremlins. The character designs of these guys have changed many times during the concept art process and over the years. Today, this is a collection of male Gremlin designs. The female Gremlins were called the Fifinellas, which I will get to them in the next post. For those discovering this, in summary, Disney was making WWII movies and shorts for the war effort. They were going to adapt Roald Dahl's first book about these guys, and several things like people getting tired of war movies and figuring out how to make the movie, which was canceled. I'm making these posts for fun and to help give artists ideas for their OCs and fanart. I would post some sample pictures and a minor breakdown in each post. I might miss some because there is so much, so this is just a handful of pictures and photos I collected over the years. We really need to make a Disney Gremlin's Wiki.
Fun Fact: Bill Justice, a Disney animator and engineer, created many concept art and book illustrations. These posts are dedicated to him. Anyway, let's get started!
Early Concept Art: Bill Justice's early versions of the Gremlins that were later used for the Cosmopolitan version of the story. Shout out for ZOLTAR'S FORTUNE on eBay posting the Photocopies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cosmopolitan Magazine (1942): The earliest release of "The Gremlin" story was in the December 1942 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. Someone posted the full article on the site, but I might do another post for each illustration. So stay tuned for that!
Tumblr media
Concept Art of the guys we recognize: These would eventually be the final book and promotion designs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The (Controversial) Life-Saver Ad (1943): AKA the ad Roald Dahl hated, but Walt Disney thought differently.
Tumblr media
Dell War Heroes (April 1943): This is a sample from a six page adaptation of the story that was featured in a Dell War Heroes comic book. The writer and artist are unknown.
Tumblr media
Disney's The Gremlins Book (June 1943): Here is one of Bill Justice's colored paintings from the book. I highly recommend looking through all the paintings from the book because Bill Justice does justice to these guys!
Tumblr media
Walt Disney Comics and Stories #33 (June 1943): In this two page adaptation, a new group of pilots believed the Gremlins were fairytales. Jokes on them since what they said enraged the Gremlins that they mess with the guys.
Tumblr media
King Features Syndicate: In this one page story, this comic is a quick introduction to the characters, the Gremlin, and why they're attacking the Royal Air Force setting up the story. (Comic found in chroniquedisney)
Tumblr media
Donald Vs. The Gremlins (July 1943): The Crossover we would get years later by Walt Kelly.
Tumblr media
Walt Kelly's Comics (July 1943-1944): For a year, Walt Kelly would make 8 comics about Gremlin Gus or both Gremlin Gus and two widgets getting in trouble at the airfield.
Tumblr media
Storyboard Short (1943): This is a sample of a 1943 storyboard when the production went from feature film to short film.
Tumblr media
Disneyfied Gremlin: This is a Model Drawing showing how far into production they were getting before getting scrapped. Later on, concept art was made of the Gremlins to have more of a Disney style. I even noticed the design in the storyboard, too. I'm glad we didn't get this style of characters. But I do love the poses.
Tumblr media
Part 2 Coming Soon...
