I realize this is a bit late, but I'm back on the web *finally* I'm still sorting through the pics I need to review.

I never knew Disney had their own version of the Nutcracker. That looks pretty cool Mouselady, good work!

Thank you! Though it looks pretty sickly compared to your latest Von Drake picture!

Actually, in the film "Fantasia" there was a segment on The Nutcracker. But in "Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed In At The House of Mouse", there's more of a parody on it, with Mickey as the Nutcracker Prince, Minnie as Maria (Klara in the original story?), Donald as The Mouse King, Goofy
as either The Snowflake King or the King of the Sugar Plum Fairies, and Ludwig as Godpapa Drosselmeier. (At the end of the story, Ludwig insisted HE was King of the Sugar Plum Fairies! )

Nah, its not sickly at all, you're getting better at drawing Ludwig, don't give up. I like the coloring alot too, you don't see me making Traditional draws that much.

mouselady In reply to UncleLaurence [2007-12-29 00:56:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I don't have the hang of Digital drawing yet, so Traditional's easier for me.
Glad you like!

Awww, thank you! I'd really like to revamp both those Ludwig pictures, like maybe
put more stuff in the background. Now that I've got the main images up, I can relax and take
more time with them.

So was the Ducky---you know how adventurous pirates are---The Ducky just figured the adventures would be more exciting with a few of Megan's L.I. Iced Teas

Happy New Year!!

Oh, Lord. Bless your heart!!! Probably all that stress (that's partly how I'd gotten mine)---not to mention, there's no escaping all those nasty germs around ya, unless you go
around in a surgeon's mask! I better hurry up and mail that coffee for you, so
it can warm you up real nice!

LordNegaduck In reply to mouselady [2008-01-03 15:43:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! Me father can't understand the Ducky picking up colds and germs. He said with all the Jack Daniels that the Ducky drinks, all germs should have been executed on site.

Thank YOU so much for that coffee!! You are truly an Angel!!

There's something about it that just appeals to young people, but I think it was mostly written for them. Funny thing, Tchaikovsky thought it stunk, and it's really one of his most beloved works.

Oh totally! It's the only Classical stuff I can really sit through in its entirety, oddly enough. :./ Heh.

mouselady In reply to StephRatte [2007-12-28 18:45:23 +0000 UTC]

I've loved classical music most of my life. But "Nutcracker" just has a fun melody to it. I think the movie "Fantasia" helped it along, too.
