The Nutcracker in the Duckverse - Gyro Gearloose as Nutcracker and Drosselmeyer's nephew and Dickie Duck as Marie - Drawcember - Books, Music and Stories - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Cosplay, Ballet and Literature - Donald Duck Comics - Duckverse - My Style - A Gift for My Friends
This time I drew something related to cosplay from famous musical and literary works, and since the Christmas and New Year holidays are underway, I drew something related to one of my favorite Christmas works, which is the fairy tale about The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is a fairy tale written by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann in 1816 under the name "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", and then the famous writer Alexandre Dumas wrote this into his story by publishing The Nutcracker in 1844. Many years later, in 1892, one of the best composers of all time, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed it for a ballet called "The Nutcracker", which is why the Nutcracker is known to be the most famous and is mostly associated with Christmas stories.
It is about a German family Stahlbaum who celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas and on that occasion their old friend Herr Drosselmeyer came and gave one of the Stahlbaum children, especially daughter Marie (in some versions Louise or Clara) a soldier who crunches nuts and nuts. That is why he was nicknamed The Nutcracker. Her brother Fritz broke the toy, which made Marie cry. Marie fell in love with him and one day an army of mice attacked their house, but the toy soldiers led by the Nutcracker managed to defend themselves. The Nutcracker defeated the king of mice who had seven heads. Then he took Marie to his kingdom of sweets and fairy tales and turned into a real prince. It was all just a dream, until on Christmas, Drosselmeyer's nephew came who looked a lot like a prince, which made Marie fall in love even more and they became friends and fell in love.
So I decided to draw this, only it stars the famous ducks from the Donald Duck comics. I wanted to draw Donald as the Nutcracker and Daisy as Marie, but for some reason I drew a different one with Gyro Gearloose as the Nutcracker and the nephew of Drosselmeyer and Dickie Duck as Marie. Gyro is a famous inventor from Duckburg, but it's very interesting that he's one of the toys and that Dickie saved him in the end and that they got married in the end. I love the two of them as a couple, so that's why I drew them in those roles. Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck play the role of Marie's brother Fritz, and Donald and Daisy Duck play Marie's parents. Scrooge McDuck plays Herr Drosselmeyer since he likes to travel a lot, although he does it for his business. Fethry Duck is disguised as a rabbit because in that ballet the rabbit has a really good role, and at the end he added an owl who also has a role in that story. The main villain is the seven-headed mouse king played by Emil Eagle, one of the great villains from the Donald Duck comics and Gyro's greatest opponent. Yes, I drew the two of them sword fighting and fighting over Nutcracker's land. In the end, the Nutcracker won. I drew in my own style, using styles from Italian and European comics and I drew them wearing clothes from the 1820s, or rather from the 19th century, as they were worn then, since the story takes place then. Yes, there is a Mickey Mouse short from Mickey Mouse Works related to that topic, although I'm not a fan of Donald Duck playing the mouse king, and not Mortimer or Phantom Blot. So I drew my version more as I like it.
I hope you like this drawing and this idea and feel free to like and reblog this, just don't copy the same ideas without mentioning me. Thanks! Also, although it's been a while I wish a happy birthday to Dickie Duck who usually celebrates on December 18th every year so I wish her a happy birthday and sorry for the delay! Also this is a gift for my friend @flowervanband who loves this couple very much, as well as a gift for my friend @boingodigitalart, who had a hard time this year, but tried a lot with his drawings and managed to put everything together during the 366 days of this year. I hope you like it! Also I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
