I actually have a lot of art that I never posted because I was too lazy, yet I decided to do it now, so expect some other arts later. They're not the clean finished art, but it would be a shame to not share.
First art is what I made when I was in terrible cramp and just went yolo on the coloring in one layer
Second art is indeed Pressure reference, but I was hesitant to post about it because of serious allegations, yet I love of how I did shading and stuff. Just think of like Donald as a diver who is trying to survive.
Also check out renaseri's Teto English cover! It's so catchy.
Donald just being confused about his feelings towards his best friend, and Mickey (who also has feelings) tried to calm him down.
(My reason for liking this ship in Keep Reading)
DonMick art! I would love to give an explanation of why I ship these two, but in summary,
"The world kept treating me badly, but you always tried your best to improve things."
I leaned on the idea from Frank Angones that Mickey and Donald are college roommates. (Oh my god, they're roommates)
I like to think that Mickey is one of the good non-family people Donald ever met. With the combination of Donald's cynicism and having the universe hating on him, having someone to be optimistic like Mickey would help Donald to not get drowned in 'world is horrible' pessimism and allow Donald to try to believe in good things too.
And I feel like Mickey is very aware of how people gossiped that his optimism is fake. Him being a 'saint' hid malicious intent. I think Mickey likes Donald because Donald is unapologetically honest and actually talked back to him. It keeps Mickey from having his head in the clouds with Donald pulled him out.
(After all, in Ducktales 2017, Donald made a watermelon effigy of Mickey on the stranded island, and the isolation is becoming unbearable. He had chosen to have Mickey as his Wilson to say, 'Don't worry Donald! Your family will be here soon!' to war against Donald's cynicism. It allowed him to survive for another day.)
Fake Visual Novel (Need More Heat)
A bit late on posting this after sharing it on Discord. I absolutely love making fake stuff.
(I found this draft and I forgot to post lolllll)
"With the world is falling apart around me, I chose to fall down too."
Memory ending is... yeah...
If you have trigger towards suicidal stuff, be careful when playing Need More Heat's 'Fatality' and 'Memory' endings
Behold. Whatever doodles are these.
The parrot is my Disney Toon OC.
Timeskipped of Robert searching for machine parts and encountered the prototypes as someone is playing god and tried to replicate 'Beginning of Dreams' town on making toons to exist. Lore in 'Keep Reading' section.
Just think of Robert as adoptive father to Mickey and Oswald as he found them when Oswald is a kid, and Mickey is a baby before Oswald and Mickey grew up to be with Walt Disney.
Inspired from Amanda the Adventurer/Dora the Explorer, Outlast, FNATI/Abandoned by Disney/FNAF

There's this whole lore, but in short, there's a town called 'Dèbut de Rêves' or 'Beginning of Dreams'. A place of where drafts will appear when the creator began to dream up of ideas before they realized their own creative dreams.
They will ride on the Magical Train that leads to Real World when realization happens, and it's one-way. The moment when they leave, they will forget about this town.
The toons are capable to steal hearts, just like in Epic Mickey. And the Magical Train does not know. The Conductor does not know. Hearts are just tickets.
And also the moment when the toon used other's heart, the creator will forget their old toon and was replaced with new toon.
There are these kinds of toons.
Awakened - Toons with newly awakened hearts, newborns
Realized - Toons with creators finally accomplished their creativity talents and could leave the town.
Flickered - Toons with hearts slowly dimming as the creator might be doubting themselves.
Faded - Toons with faded hearts as the creator no longer believe in themselves.
Heartless - Toons who lacked heart or had their heart stolen.
That's where the Guide plays. Robert is the Guide toon, and he made sure everyone will ride on the train safely. And when he found Oswald and Mickey, he took them in after seeing bright potential in their hearts. He is the handyman and tinkerer in the community.
