The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Tribute to Don Rosa
I wanted to post this back in July, but for some reason it happened that I finished it until recently. Yes, I drew one before that, which you can see here:
This is my redraw of it, but in a different way and I'm posting it for reasons considering the censorship of Don Rosa comics that has been going on lately. It just needed a warning message about it, not censoring and deleting comics for stupid reasons. Overall, yes I have read The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa and I can tell you that it is one of the best comics I have read so far. You have online available to read and if you have time for it. It's just a shame we won't be getting an animated adaptation of this, as today's standards don't allow it. :(
All in all, I drew this again, but differently, through the life of Scrooge McDuck from childhood, through the Klondike period to the period of old age. And around him are people who helped him a lot in his life starting with his parents Fergus and Downy, then his sisters Matilda and Hortense, his ancestor Sir Quackly McDuck, Ratchet Gearloose (Gyro's grandfather), Casey Coot (son of Clinton Coot and brother of Grandma Duck), Goldie O'Gilt (his love from the Klondike days), Donald Duck, Gyro Gearloose (with Little Helper) and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. I wanted to add more characters, but unfortunately not all of them would fit in one place. Yes, plus his first coin he ever earned.
I hope you like this drawing and I hope more people know about Don Rosa comics and read them. Also this is a tribute and related to Scrooge's 75th anniversary of his first appearance as well as his birthday which is in November. Yes, and also my gift for my friend @pick-and-shovel-laborer as well as other Scrooge McDuck fans and fans of Don Rosa comics. This is what this song is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWwSVOo5K_k

Scrooge McDuck and his sisters at their parents' graveyard.
Although I'm already late, I'm definitely posting this on the occasion of All Souls' Day, that is, Remembrance Day, which honors the memory of deceased persons at the beginning of November. Yes, a lot of people died this year, both famous and unknown, and I don't have enough time to pay tribute to all of them, certainly eternal glory to them and may they rest in peace. Amen.
I did a redraw from last year where Scrooge mourns his parents (more about this there: https://www.tumblr.com/ducktoonsfanart/678109418403086336/i-miss-you-mcpapa-and-mcmama-scrooge-mcduck ), but I tweaked my style a bit and added his sisters, Matilda and Hortense who mourn their parents Fergus McDuck and Downy McDuck (née O' Drake). Yes buried at the McDuck Clan family castle in Scotland. Otherwise drawn as if they were living in the time of the 1920s era when Scrooge reached his greatest wealth and when he still had a good relationship with his sisters before he fell out with them. I definitely took inspiration from Don Rosa comics and his collection called "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". The parents of Scrooge, Fergus and Downy look down from another world (probably from heaven) on their children and are glad for what they have achieved in their lives. Scrooge achieved his fortune, Matilda married scientist Ludwig von Drake and Hortense married Quackmore of the famous Duck family. However, it is sad that they are no longer in this world and will be missed by their children, until their children reach a very old age and go to them in the other world. But it depends on the Creator what will happen.
Yes, I drew them wearing black clothes, because black clothes are usually worn at funerals and when visiting a cemetery.
All in all, may their souls rest in peace as well as all the people who died from the beginning of November last year until now. Eternal glory to them and peace to their souls! Rest in peace! Amen.
