Mortimer Mouse

He my favorite villain of the Mickey mouse character but to be honest I don’t really see him as that much of a villains except that one cartoon were her framed Mickey for stealing. I never got around to drawing him until now. And I’ve not just drawn one but many version of him from left to right;

Mr. Slicker- Mickey Mouse Dailies 1930

Mortimer- Mickey's Rival 1936

Montmorency (Monty) Rodent-Mickey comics 1941

Mortimer Mouse-Mickey Mouse Works 1999

Mortimer Mouse-Mickey Mouse Works Episode "Mickey and the Goatman"2000

Mortimer Mouse- House of Mouse 2001



---------------------------
Little Trivia
Walt was originally going to name Mickey, Mortimer, but his wife insisted on a new name. Mortimer also appeared in many Mickey Mouse comic in different regions but under another name Montmorency Rodent but the name didn't stick so he got his name Mortimer back and in animated series Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse, Mortimer got his catchphrase, "Ha-cha-cha!"

Their’s more trivia but this is all I'll give you.
-------------------------------

My Thoughts
Personally I love the House of Mouse version of Mortimer so much better his buck teeth and hat are removed and I believe he still has his tail it's probably tucked it in his pants like Mickey dose so I just drawn him a tail cause he looked good with it, pulse when ever he isn't tiring to put the move on Minnie, he's tiring to flirt with ever woman in the club with funny result he even tried to hit on Daisy Duck in the first episode!

This is a character who deserve a stronger role and I’d weird that there’s isn't much fanart or fanfics of him he's a pretty cool character. Sure he's a jerk but that's what I like about him it's like he's the opposite of Mickey.

Their is so much thing Disney can do with this guy but they are really neglecting him.

He can be Mickey allie which was shown in House of Mouse Episode "Mickey and the Culture Clash" even if it's so he can trick both Mickey a Minnie, plus their was an episode of Mickey's Mouse Works "Mickey Mix up" Mickey faxing Minnie a love letter but it went to Mortimer instead and he becomes friendly to Mickey only to be a jerk again when Mickey told him the fax was a mistake. LOL. But it's episode like these that makes you think of that what if scenario.

My what if scenario.
He may be a secondary rival to Mickey but stop and think about this one thought I have, what if he became a good guy and quite being a villain, how would the other villains of Mickey Mouse would take it? And more importantly how would Mickey take it? Seeing as how he never liked him to start with? That has been running in my head for a long time now of course in this idea I would have The Phantom Blot(not the Shadow Blot for Epic) and Pete uses Mortimer needs to be a good guy against him and to get Mickey.

Pairing and other thoughts on Mortimer
Mortimer can be paired with someone like Clarabelle Cow since their are three episodes of House of Mouse that shows their can be a relationship between them. I also thought of creating a Disney character to pair up with him.

I also wonder what he dose in he's spare time when he's not flirting with ladies and teasing Mickey or what would happen if he dog sits Pluto, heck he can have his own cartoon short.

Also I notice that he can just as well be a character for Kingdom Harts like a character who can be in-between good and evil or in this case the light and darkness.

I'm just so tempted to experiment with this character to see what I can do with him. Every one ells should too. this is a Disney toon who deserves attention.

Wow I really did allot of thought into this and you know I like it:)

Zaltag Animation 4 of 4

The last test, this one is dealing with Zaltags expressions and the transition from one face pose to the other.

I use a Mirror to look at my expression then draw it on Zaltag and exaggerate on some of them. Then I animate them. There are 20 different expressions I done on this there was more but I cut it down to 20.

This one took two weeks to do.
195 frame used to extending the pictures so you can see each of the expressions.
140 frame for the animation of the face changes from one expression to the other.

In total that 335 frames used.

Despicable Me

My first Despicable Me fanart, Margo, Edith, and Agnes tackles Gru to the ground, and I couldn’t resist put Gru’s creepy dog Kyle.

I did this pic after I came back from seeing the 2D version of the movie yesterday, And yes I like it’s very well made film I’m planning to see the 3D one Monday.

I just couldn’t stop laughing at the jokes in this film and Gru and the Minions stole the show for me.

This film made it to number 3 of my top favorite animated films.

Nestor gets pranked

This is an concept art of that comic I was working on titled “A Prank to Far”

The smaller character in this next to Mayum the gorilla is a baboon name Brandon who’s sort of like the trouble making clown of the jungle and loves to pull practical jokes.

The plot
The plot of this story is that Brandon was pulling a prank but Nestor stopped him so now Brandon targets him for some pranks for revenge.

Later that day Nestor and Mayum got into a bit of an argument end in Nestor in insulting Mayum this was the perfect opportunity for Brandon plans and he talks Mayum into assisting him in pranking Nestor, agents his better judgment he agree to help unaware of Brandon revenge.

So basically though out the days Brandon and Mayum fallows Nestor everywhere pulling pranks on everyone Nestor is with and the victims blames him for it.

This Scene
In this pic Nestor got pelted with mangos by some female orangutans as a result of one of Brandon’s pranks. After he got away he went over to a near by pound to wash off, not knowing that Brandon and Mayum Were there and they took his clothes.

Nestor soon finds that his clothes are gone and gets mad after realizing it was Brandon, now he has to go home without being seen.

Brandon and Mayum are hiding behind a tree and some bushes watching the whole scene, Brandon was trying so hard not to laugh out load and Mayum was at all pleased with this prank but couldn’t resist laughing.

I decided to post all three parts of the art from sketch to finish.
