Description Castle Duckula...
Home for many centuries to a dreadful dynasty of vicious vampire ducks – the Counts of DUCKULA. Legend has it that these fowl beings can be destroyed by a stake through the heart, or exposure to sunlight. This does not suffice, however, for they may be brought back to life by means of a secret rite, which can be performed once a century, when the moon is in the eighth house of Aquarius...

The latest reincarnation did not run according to plan...

I've done a bunch of Dangermouse fanart pics, I figured it was time for a Count Duckula one(I like Duckula cause it had a theme that I've loved ever since: What if an evil monster wasn't actually a bad person- just that they were an evil monster... Look up my Joey the Basalisk stuff for more info on my thoughts of this.). This drawing came out so well(Usually, they have mistakes that I have to edit out which is why they are usually in pure black and white) that I desided to scan it in color... even though it's just ink. Just in case you never seen the show, first smack yourself in the face and say "I am a bad person who missed out on one of the funniest cartoons in history."... Now, here's the lowdown on the characters:

Count Duckula(The duck): Star of the show. Like the introductary says, there was a mistake with his latest reincarnation involving ketchup instead of blood. As a result, Duckula's lastest self is not the bloodsucking demon his predecessors were- in fact, he's a nice guy who's a vegetarian. He's still a vampire, however, and that fact sometimes puts a damper on his plans to become rich and famous. He's also what inspired ME at one point to be a vegetarian(I quit that because every vegetarian dish at the time had something that I hated, like raw tomatoes, or waterchestnuts.)

Dr Von Goosewing(The goose in the hat): A famous "Wampire hunter" who is not convinced that Duckula has gone streight. In fact, he thinks that the only good wampire is a staked wampire... er... I mean, VAMPIRE... Sorry, he talks like that a lot.

Igor(the hunchbacked vulture): Count Duckula's right hand man, and butler. Igor pretty much does whatever Duckula wants him to do. Still, after formally serving only evil blood-suckers, Igor hopes that one day, Duckula will go back to his neck-biting roots and quit all this "Nice guy" stuff.

Nanny(The giant chicken): Nanny is Duckula's maid. Gigantic body, microscopic face, and no brain- she doesn't know her own strength, and usually ends up smashing things: (Ring "-I'll get it." SMASH. "Order a new front door, Igor...") She babies her "Little Duckyboos" a lot to the point of spoiling him.

Well, there you go: Oh, and does anyone who was a fan of the show have info on if they ever revealed why Nanny always has her arm in a sling? I have a theory that might make a good fanfic(It also explains why Goosewing's got his lisp.) if it hasn't been explained.

XD In a lot of ways, Duckula is very kid-like... Just consider Nanny his overly loving mother, and Igor as his realistic "M'Lord- I am disappoint" father, and you've got it.

Lol... Now I wanna see Igor say "M'Lord- I am disappoint".

Thanks. I was actually just recently looking at the first episode, and I found out he made a cameo in it even though he had nothing to do otherwise with the rest of the story.
But I liked Goosewing, he was kind of like if Elmer Fudd gave up Wabbit hunting, turned into a bird, and became a vampire hunter... or specifically, a Wampire unter.

Look around 4:38. He's walking around in the background and it's kind of hard to see him cause he's so far away, but yeah- it surprised me that he's there.

I rightfully remember an episode that showed Nanny asleep in her bed, and you saw a photo of her family on the wall. All of them had their arm in a sling. Which got a laugh and that's why I remember it so fondly.

And I love your style, especially Goosewing peeking out over Nanny's shoulder.

Ok so Duckula is actually the son of the reincarnation before him who was Dangermouse's enemy. That's basicly it. all of his reincarnations are related to him..and I guess none of them have first names. o.O

battybuddy In reply to blahdiddy2003 [2005-11-01 20:36:11 +0000 UTC]

Actually, the way I see it, it was him... Just an earlier, more bloodthirsty version.

The whole consept of sons, and decendents and stuff gets kinda wierd when you're dealing with both vampires and reincarnation...

Very recently I saw some video clips of the intro and credits of that show, and they reminded me of how deathly in love I was with Duckula back in 1995! Deathly as in so obsessed I was spoiling it for everyone! Looking at it now it's still looking good for a cartoon that's as old as I am. I'd swap that one episode of Dangermouse I have for an episode of Duckula anyday!

Looking at the art here now, it seems to have come out very well. Yes, it does need colour, and maybe you should thicken the lines maybe? I'm only making suggestions here. Also, shouldn't Nanny's arms be a bit thicker? She is a pretty strong character after all.

But it's still awesome to see Duckula fanart around this site

You should consider doing a background of the castle in your style, as well as colouring it in.
But this is a good style for them, nonetheless.

In the heart of Transylvania,
In the Vampire Hall of Fang-yia,
There's not a vampire zanier than Duckula.
He won't bite beast or man,
'Cos he's a vegetarian,
And things never run to plan for Duckula.
If you're looking for some fun,
You can always count upon,
The wild and wacky one they call Duckula.
(Count Duckula - he he he heeh!)


That show was cool. Plus it had one of the best theme songs in a cartoon EVER!

I'm honestly not sure which I like more.

I mean, Dangermouse was the first fanart I've ever drawn(and it was at a time when I believed in a Roger Rabbit world), but Count Duckula- he reminded me more of myself... Also, he made me a vegitarian for a short time.

Great work!
I believe I've seen every episode of this show... but it was long ago, I was a mere kid and I barely remember anything, so I don't know if Nanny's arm was ever explained. But I do still remember that the Polish version was dubbed and remember all the main character's Polish voices.

battybuddy In reply to JSZ-JaZz [2005-08-09 19:48:56 +0000 UTC]

I never heard the polish version(I've kind of recently got into the whole "Voice acting around the world" bit from animated DVDs... For example, the French Roger Rabbit is, in my opinion, the best sounding.). How do they sound?... Assuming you can describe the voice work(It's kind of hard to do that kind of thing.)

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

JSZ-JaZz In reply to battybuddy [2005-08-10 10:40:21 +0000 UTC]

I'll try...
Count Duckula had this nose voise (when you don't plug your nose but you feel it does something with your voice... yah, I don't know how to describe THAT), but I assume the voice actor was quite young. A teenager maybe.
However Igor had a very adult and intelligent voice. I think his voice actor usually played as a narrator... Yes, I think I even heard his voice recently.
Nanny's voice sounded like female Goofy. As long as it was perfectly chosen I can't say anything more about it.
Goosewing's voice was something between Igor, Donald Duck and obsessed lunatic. I don't remember what did the accent do in Polish language...
