Sorry to anyone who apparently came here from vastly different videos. Making a thumbnail and title like this was a mistake that shall not happen again unless it's really funny.
Also if you've left a comment and it hasn't shown up it's probably not because I've deleted it. UA-cam is hiding comments I made on this video myself too, and they're not even showing up in "held for review" so I don't know what's up with that.
I was going to comment about Gyro's feet before you mentioned it in the video, and in the end I think it just comes down to creating characters with visually distinct silhouettes. If too many characters used the same body template (like Donald, Scrooge and Daisy) it'll may end up looking too generic. That said, there's no excuse in Rosa's case since he works with already established characters, and goes to great lengths not to change their looks, so I guess it was just a shorthand for "sexy". Also I didn't know Barks had had boobs censored in his comics before, so thanks for that little tidbit!
Yeah, I think if I were to give a genuine reasoning behind the human leg and feet thing it could partially be about distinctive character designs. I think people also desire different things when it comes to the designs for these characters. Personally, I'd love to see more variants of bird designs rather than humanoid creatures with beaks, but there are sometimes where I'd call that a stylistic choice rather than a net negative. I do think there's still a habit of going for the "sexy" humanoid option for the women more so than the men, and I think sometimes that's exactly what gets a little boring to me. And yeah! "Lifeguard Daze" by Barks was censored and he was asked to remove the boobs which I think is a little funny.
@@lucentleaves I think the "sexy ducks" seem to stem mostly from the Italian comics, which are typically more cartoony and caricatured than the American or Egmont produced ones. They also did a fairly good redesign of Quackfaster, even if I can't bring myself to think of it as the "canon" version of her.
I wonder if UA-cam recommended me this for being a duck character owner. Yes, the duck has the B's, pft. I think it could be related to "appeal". The female body draws more attention, thus increasing the potential new public for a work. That won't stop for certain, and that's not a bad thing. Neither will the duckies without the B's cease to exist, so it's nice to know there will always be something for anyone to enjoy!
Not strange at all. They are meant to resemble humans partially. No ducks are billionaires either, speaking english, drive cars or live in houses or watch TV :)
First off excellent video and honestly I think to a degree duck artists unconsciously add the boobs in but there are some cases words definitely not unconscious decision There's one example I can think of that is duck comic related but not exactly disney duck comic related, well technically now it's disney duck comic related cuz they bought the company but that's just going into semantics of the whole thing Well basically in the '70s Marvel introduced the character Howard the duck within their title man thing who is alien alternate dimensional duck brought to the main Marvel Universe through the Nexus point of all realities which just so happens to be located within Louisiana swamp In his original appearance he appeared to die but eventually came back and had a surprisingly successful comic series where he eventually became iron duck and fought a villain named Dr bong, I am not kidding Anyways Howard the duck was popular enough for Marvel to license the character out and Howard eventually going on to get his own feature film, directed by little known talent George Lucas Anyways in this film his origin is changed significantly to being randomly listed out of his duck universe and plopped into our human universe, in the sequence Howard flies through his apartment building and crashes through a bathroom, where there is a duck woman completely naked singing in the bathtub And pardon my language but duck tits are on full display and some actual thought and effort had to go in to making that costume and there is not any way shape or form they didn't realize what they were doing And that part always made me my mother and my sister laughed abrariously when we saw it when I was younger, them doing it out of she will bewilderment and me because duck boobies Anyways I just remembered that was a thing thanks to this video and now I can't stop giggling to myself thinking about it
Lol great video! I agree with all your points, but I still like the boobed ducks :P Pear-shaped boobed ducks are of course very stupid - but Sciarrone's more humanoid ducks are different in my mind for some reason...? To me they're in the same category as furries, basically. :P In a world where some ducks are humanoid (like Gyro), I think it's not such a braindead design decision to add boobs to the super-spy ultra-sexy robot lady. Her being the only female character in your comic is of course another story. :P But yeah, the point about children's animation doing this all the time is valid. That's why we love Kung Fu Panda y'all!! P.S. To be fair to Rosa, he did add disturbing pectoral muscles to his male ducks as well... 😵💫

We learned so much about the historical anatomy of duck art. Your takes are amazing, keep up the amazing work

There's a reason why Rosa and Sciarrone are my 2 all time favourite XD

I really like your videos
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Well basically in the '70s Marvel introduced the character Howard the duck within their title man thing who is alien alternate dimensional duck brought to the main Marvel Universe through the Nexus point of all realities which just so happens to be located within Louisiana swamp
In his original appearance he appeared to die but eventually came back and had a surprisingly successful comic series where he eventually became iron duck and fought a villain named Dr bong, I am not kidding
Anyways Howard the duck was popular enough for Marvel to license the character out and Howard eventually going on to get his own feature film, directed by little known talent George Lucas
Anyways in this film his origin is changed significantly to being randomly listed out of his duck universe and plopped into our human universe, in the sequence Howard flies through his apartment building and crashes through a bathroom, where there is a duck woman completely naked singing in the bathtub
And pardon my language but duck tits are on full display and some actual thought and effort had to go in to making that costume and there is not any way shape or form they didn't realize what they were doing
And that part always made me my mother and my sister laughed abrariously when we saw it when I was younger, them doing it out of she will bewilderment and me because duck boobies
Anyways I just remembered that was a thing thanks to this video and now I can't stop giggling to myself thinking about it
I honestly find boobs on ducks kinda hilarious. XD
Still doesn't look as bad as those human-bird women we talked about in that other video. 0_0
