Haunted Mansion Color Palettes for October 2020

This post comes a bit late for Halloween, but I wanted to share with you all some drawings I did for the month of October.  Months ago, I tried my hand at color palettes, the theme being the amazing game, Hollow Knight, that I had recently had the pleasure of playing.  Since I had so much fun with this style of drawing, I decided to do a whole set of Haunted Mansion pictures in this style for the spookiest month of the year.  Behold!

Listmas 2019: Amusement Parks I’ve Visited

Since most of my Listmas topics revolve around gaming, a topic largely reserved for Virtual Bastion, I sometimes have a bit of trouble thinking up Listmas topics to discuss here on my own, personal blog.  Scratching my head and thinking long and hard, I thought it might be fun to list the amusement parks I’ve visited over the years.  Because why not?  So, in no particular order…

Tales from the Haunted Mansion Book Review

By now, it must be ever so obvious that the Duck is a big fan of Disney’s Haunted Mansion.  I’ve got Haunted Mansion pins and figures and all manner of other cool goodies.  Heck, I even attended the 50th anniversary!  More recently, my obsession has leaked over into books, more specifically the four-part Tales from the Haunted Mansion series.  I bought them for the obvious reasons…and because they are an exceptionally attractive set of books, and I’ve always fantasized about having a grand library filled with beautiful tomes.(Now I just need about a bijillion more.)

Inktober 2019 Summary

Now that Inktober is over, I decided to create a summary picture for all 31 of the inked drawings I did.  This was my first Inktober, and admittedly, it was a rather exhausting affair.  I usually do just a drawing or two a month, and this time, I was drawing nearly every day starting September 1.  Needless to say, it made me…tired.  And I look forward to taking a short break from drawing for the time being.

Inktober 2019 Highlights Week 4

Inktober is nearly over, and I’ve got yet another group of drawings to show you guys.  Since last week’s Highlights post, I got some grey pens, which you’ll be seeing occasionally.  I still haven’t quite gotten the hang of them, but they look kind of cool when I actually use them properly.  While I’m only showing my best pictures here in these Highlights posts, keep in mind that you can always find all of my pictures over on Deviant Art.

Inktober 2019 Highlights Week 3

That’s right, I’ve got another batch of Inktober drawings to share with you guys!  Or rather, the top drawings I did this past week (all of them can be found on Deviant Art).  One of my pens is drying up, but it comes in handy for shadows now….

Inktober 2019 Highlights Week 1

Good day, dear readers!  I decided to do Inktober this year, which is a little drawing event where you get a topic for every day in October to draw and ink, either digitally or in the traditional way.  You can start the first day of September, which means I have been giving myself two days per picture.  And let me tell you, I am feeling extremely tired from drawing far more than I’m used to….

The Duck’s Disneyland Attraction Tour 2019 Part 2

Last time, I discussed Disneyland rides ranking from #11-21.  Now it’s time to get to the good stuff, the Duck’s top 10 Disneyland rides!  Let’s just get on with it!

The Duck’s Disneyland Attraction Tour 2019 Part 1

I’ve already discussed my most recent Disneyland trip in a 3-part post.  And I’ve ranked all of the food and desserts we have had so far last week, as well.  All that leaves now is the best part of all, the rides.  As I always do, I like to create a grand list of every ride (and show, as the Enchanted Tiki Room is now getting a place in this list) we’ve ever been on, including those we haven’t done recently.  Keep in mind that this list is going to be generally as unbiased as I can make it.  I mean, of course a list ranking Disneyland’s attractions in order of my preference is going to be biased, but I’m at least not going to let my terror during a few of them cloud my judgement.  (Also, italics mean I didn’t visit the attraction during our most recent trip.)  So, from least great to most great, read on to discover the Duck’s Disney rides ranking from 11-21!
