I decided to create a copy of this painting as this is one of the rarest oil paintings that perfectly captures my exact idea of the Biblical Horsemen, I hope you are going to like it <3

Plus, back in 2023 I also wanted to draw the Dalton brothers as the four horsemen in the desert, it's my very first drawing on procreate

what are your thoughts on the new Lucky Luke series

⚠️⚠️WARNING, CONTAINS SPOILERS ON THE LUCKY LUKE LIVE ACTION SERIES⚠️⚠️

I couldn't wait to see the new Lucky Luke series, I honestly was so impatient to see the newest scenes with the Dalton brothers, the costumes look more "realistic" than the ones from the "Les Dalton" live action (2004), even the actors seemed to be more acccurate.

The plot is interesting, I really have appreciated every single scene as there was a plot twist every five minutes, I love that this series is fundamentally a love story between Luke and Charlie, and if we consider Joe too it might look like a love triangle.

Louise's character had so much potential and it got used really really well, I always shipped her with Billy.

I loved the third episode not just because the Daltons and their Ma' appeared, but also because it took some details from the albums, like the Joe's amnesia that comes from the Daltons amnesia (l'amnesie Des Dalton) and the birthday's flashback is too adorable, I felt the feminine urge to draw them fighting with the cake, my precious boys <3333. I genuinely did not expect Joe pretending to be Louise's father, but the moment when he confesses all the truth to Louise melts my heart, and when Louise asks Joe if he misses his brothers melts me, as it shows that Joe and his brothers bond is literally unbreakable. They should have taken all the brothers together for the entire series, they would have had an enormous potential and possibly the scenes might have been funnier.

Joe Dalton best character by the way, he loved Charlie but he respects the fact that she loves another man (his enemy), honourable man.

The fifth episode genuinely broke my heart for every single memories that it is shown

I didn't not expect so much swears from the characters, in my opinion they weren't necessary, I honestly believed they wanted to seem more mature or something else, I didn't really appreciate that.

Calamity Jane best woman in the entire Lucky Luke universe. Change my mind.

I also wanted Jesse James to be there, it's also one of the most known characters of the comics too!

I watched the entire series In only two days and every single Instant gave me goosebumps, I totally advice it.

Thoughts on Go West?

The first time I saw Go West was the December 25th 2014, when I was 9 years old, I couldn't wait to finally see my very first animated Lucky Luke movie.

It is animated perfectly, the expressions and the goofy and exaggerated poses of characters are something else! In my opinion Xilam did well to add the Daltons too (in the original comic, "la caravane" they weren't present), cuz they knew their immense and magnificent potential, everything they do is literally a cartoony and goofy work of art. To be brutally honest my favorite part of the movie is when they rob the Wall Street banks and the crazy escape from the whole police of NYC on the Brooklyn Bridge. Ah yes, and I also adore the soap gun scene too. Absolute cinema.

The other characters are unforgettable, like Piotr, Ugly Barrow, the french barber, Bones and the teacher, and the moment when she kicks Joe getting insane is literal girl power🎀✨.

Talking about the mythical Jolly Jumper, I always shipped him with Louise (the brown mare).

Talking about Crook and Bartleby, I initially didn't like them as I found them pretty irritating, but rewatching the movie again, again and again I appreciated them more as they have an immense potential.

The musics capture perfectly the animation too, the backgrounds are spectacular; some animations are so exaggerated that look almost "brutal", like the mine scene where Joe goes against the rocks, when I saw that scene I was laughing my ass off for the absurdity and """"violence"""" of that moment, like damn my Dalton boys literally survive ANYTHING.

Talking about the Daltons, I think they are the best characters of the entire saga, they are a literal mine of gold, they're creative, amusing, explosive, goofy, unpredictable, mythical and never fail to make me smile and laugh; there's only one thing I didn't appreciate: Joe's outrage and Averell's clumsiness and stupidity were too exaggerated, too charicatural, and Joe is literally insane, unlike the first movies where he could control himself more, while William and Jack got forgotten as usual, bruh they deserve a personality and more attention too (I loved the scene where Jack lends his iron ball to the Italian woman lol, poor man).

This is not one of the most important or the greatest animated movies for sure, but it's monstrously underrated, but most importantly it's

WILD AND CRAZY AS HELL.

I totally advice this movie for people who love comedies, animation and adventure movie, if I had to rate this movie it would be a 8/10.

Howdy, this is my very first post on Tumblr, I wanted to start posting my artworks and all my passions here! These are the most hilarious and legendary bandits in the whole West! The Dalton brothers from the Lucky Luke comics! I am so lucky to be hyperfixated with them since I was 8 years old, they are my source of inspiration and joy, my comfort characters.

This pictures portrays them from the animated movie Daisy Town (1971) in my favorite scene of all: the duel with Lucky Luke, that scene made me fall in love with the western genre, it's History and aesthetic.

I hope you are going to appreciate this humble fanart of them <3

I'm watching some of the original older Lucky Luke movies/media (yes, I fear the hyperfixation won't leave easily, if ever at this point lmao) and not only is the animation really good for the years these were made in (pretty sure it got remastered, but even without the newer extra work it's impressive), but it's also a great source of canon information, even if sometimes the canon is wobbly (and you might say "yeah no shit" and. Yes, you're right).

Spolier alert I guess? Even if this stuff is older than most people on this site probably lmao.

The 1971 Daisy Town movie shows how all four Daltons are actually really good marksmen, even if they don't ever stand a chance against Luke's speed. Also, I know it's just supposed to be a sketch to display the brothers' stupidity, but it was really interesting to see Averell hold his own in a shootout against his three brothers (I'm assuming they weren't really aiming at each other directly since, you know, they're a team and care about each other). They do end up fistfighting with each other for a moment which is funny (and also shows that Averell isn't always a complete pushover, especially since the reason they started fighting in the first place was Luke making him notice the others were "underestimating" him).

Am I taking them too seriously? Probably.

Can you expect me to post again about these media? Very likely.

"Daisy Town" is interesting because it's one of the few -perhaps the ony- times where the Daltons are shown to be capable outlaws and actually a bit intimidating.

Design-wise their black and blue outfits standing against Luke's yellow shirt and the warm tones of the settings and especially the cartoon villain trademark of the eyeshadows.

Moreover, Joe's hair-trigger temper and Averell's stupidity are there but are somewhat toned down. And like you pointed out they are actually good glunslinger like they were in the comics. They also keep the fact that Averell *is* the physically strongest out of the four also shown in the comics.

I always thought it had a nice balance of comedy and dread. Which is completly gone by "The Ballad of the Daltons" and subsequent adaptations.
