It is issue #376, I think.

Hey guys. Well - the latest backup story that I drew for Sonic the Hedghehog is out, so I figured I'd post some artwork.

The stuff here is kind of old - two pieces that I'd scrapped drawing on for various reasons. They'll remain unfinished pieces unless I can decide on whatever new thing it is that I want to do with them. The first is a collage of Mickey and the gang surrounded by a large portion of the many villains from the classic American newspaper serials/Italian continuity. I did this some time last year, but decided not to continue it.

Keep in mind that this was originally drawn in nothing but blue pencil - hence the stray pencil marks as I had not gone through a proper clean up process on it. I chose not to continue this piece largely because I didn't really think the layout through after I'd gotten to the point with Mickey and company. The center needs more than that and I did have something in mind, but anything else I'd do would really only clutter it more so...eh, this one will remain "unfinished" as far as I'm concerned.

For those that want a breakdown however...here is a handy little guide for who's who in Mickey villains. Starting from the bottom left and going up:

* Everybody knows Pegleg Pete
* Above him is Trudy Von Tubb - his girlfriend in the Italian continuity
* Sylvester Shyster - Mickey Mouse's oldest villain next to Pete himself
* Then Eli Squinch - the miser who used Mickey's elephant to power a sawmill and tried to steal Clarabelle Cow's inheritance among other things
* To the left of Squinch - the guy holding the gun is Trigger Hawkes, international counterspy
* To the immediate right of Squinch is Idgit the Midget and directly above him, the guy with the moustache is his partner Dangerous Dan - Mickey's generic gangster type villains introduced in the late 60's
* Above Trigger and Dan are Professor Doublex (left) and Professor Ecks (right)
* Above them is Professor Triplex - leader of the mad scientist trio.
* Above Triplex is an Aberzombie and next to it is its leader - Doctor Grut from Floyd Gottfredson's "Mickey Mouse and the 'Lectro Box" serial
* Above the Aberzombie and to the left is Emil Eagle the evil inventor (rival and slightly incompetent rival/nemesis to Mickey, Gyro Gearloose, and Doc Static respectively)
* To the right of him, the guy with the permed hair is The Rhyming Man
* Above Emil and the left of The Rhyming Man is Doctor Vulter - orangutan commander of the Nuclear Pirate Submarine fleet.
* Above him is Portis Plottigat, Pete's older cousin mad scientist cousin also from Italian continuity
* Above him is The Black Crow, a nemesis from another newspaper serial
* Above the crow are Drusilla - an insane and immortal woman who lives on a youth serum - and her creepy leprechaun-ish valet Jeremiah Jemson [/LIST]

* To the right at the bottom: of course everybody knows The Phantom Blot.
* To the left of the Blot we have Mickey Junior - Mickey Mouse's robotic duplicate from the "World of Tomorrow" serial.
* To his right is Miklos Mouse AKA The Grey Mouse AKA "Mickey's Dangerous Double"
* Above he and Miklos is Professor Doom AKA The Crooked Man. Creepy looking character.
* Just above and to the left are The Gleam (master hypnotist) and his wife was never given a name outside of Martha Mousegomery.
* Above them is Duke Varlott - the lead villain in "The Monarch of Medioka", one of Floyd Gottfredson's longest and most complex Mickey Mouse stories.
* Above Varlott and to the right is Joe Piper. To his left is Mister Dibble, his accomplice. Piper is known for his obscenely huge lips and Dibble for his Chico Marx look.
* Directly above Dibble is Kali (Hindu God of Death I think). Kali is actually a one shot villain but comes from a very well done Italian Mickey story ("Kali's Nail" - hence the focus on her fingernail in the picture) that's often remembered fondly by many people stateside. Her alterego, Richard Hogg is not pictured.
* Above Kali is Doctor Syclocks who is actually a well remembered Super Goof villain.
* To the right of Syclocks and down just a little bit (across from Kali) is Iron Mask - dictator of Mousepotamia
* Above Syclocks and to the left is The Aint King (AINT not ant)
* To the right of The Aint King is Lucius Lamb, well liked philanthropist, millionaire and leader of Mouseton's largest crime syndicate.
* Above Lucius and the king is the miniaturized Golden Goddess who is riding on her flying tiger steed Xephus.
* The Golden Goddess's staff separates Lawyer Willy Beamish and his partner in crime, the outlaw named Two-Finger Frank. Two western-type villains from the same Mickey serial.
* Above them is Atomo Bloop-Bloop, the evil counterpart to Mickey's sidekick Atomo Bleep-Bleep from the Italian continuity.
* Just above him is The Bat Bandit of Inferno Gulch, one of the early inspirations for the Phantom Blot.
* To the right of him, a generic Mekka-Man, commanded by Mickey Junior and Pegleg Pete in the "World of Tomorrow" serial.
* Above the Bat Bandit to the left is the interstellar bounty hunter who wishes to marry Goofy, Hoosat of Planet Unnlax
* And to the left of Hoosat is sorceress of the Island of Death, The Pink Princess. Her familiar Birdie is not pictured.

This picture I just plain don't like. I think it was my original attempt at trying to do the picture above, but by the time I got to Einmug (who you can see remains unfinished), Emil Eagle, and Doc Static - I'd decided that this piece just wasn't going to work.

So what do you think? Maybe I'll post some more eventually.

Quote from user: Roger NorthThank you Quackberg. I don't know how I could have gotten the issue numbers mixed up. I have both issues.
I looked it up and it is #376, thanks. (And no worries, Roger. :) )

Quote from user: Lars JensenOr white sheep, perhaps. :)
That's true!

That's amazing that you have a picture of bad guy in the Mickey Mouse Universe. Can you do one of the bad guys in the Donald Duck Universe.

Thank you. :)

I was thinking about it to tell you the truth. Donald/Scrooge would be a bit harder seeing as their rogues galleries are iconic, but not as numerous and repeating as Mickey's. We've got the Beagles, Magica, Glomgold, Arpin Lusene, Emil Eagle...

And I suppose I could count the one shot villains from the many Barks, Rosa, or Van Horn stories. It'd take a lot of work and research though but I think it could be done.
You did a great job on the Mickey Mouse characters! I'm looking forward to the Donald Duck characters! Perhaps you can add Slackjaw Snorehead as well, if you want. If you don't know what he looks like you can see him on one of my pictures at: http://slackjawsnoremore.deviantart.com/art/Slackjaw-Snoremore-81352451

Quote from user: Lars JensenQuote from user: QuackbergPerhaps you can add Slackjaw Snorehead as well, if you want.
Slackjaw isn't a villain, though.
Yes, you are right, he's one of the good guys, but there wasn't only villains on his pictures so I thought it would be fun to see how another artist would draw him. :)

Splendid! I love the first one, especially because it features those great Gottfredson characters, from stories stories which have unfortunately not been reprinted for years for the silly reasons we know.
