Ok I quickly translated a few pages from the new comic before work. It seems like Goldie is gonna have a modern day appearance in the next (or maybe the one after that?) issue of Area 15 so obv I’m excited for that
And as always I’d like to remind everyone that in many non English speaking countries, Aunt/Uncle are terms used to describe any adult figure in a child’s life and do not necessarily imply blood relation. If I had to guess I’d say Goldie taught this guy the way of the theater cause she was already very old in that photo lol
Anyway ENJOY the Goldie content and there’s some of Gladstones country gf also
Веселого Рождества и счастливого Нового года! С Рождеством!
Donald and Daisy Duck in Russian folk costume and celebration of Orthodox Christmas.
Yes, to all who are Orthodox and celebrate according to the Julian calendar, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Sorry for the delay, I wanted to do this especially for this holiday, not to be forgotten, I also started a little about folk customs and folk costumes around the world. Although I need to study in detail about these things, and this was the most difficult thing for me when drawing, especially the details on various costumes. This time I wanted to talk about Russian folk costumes and customs because of the current holidays, so I drew Donald and Daisy Duck in Russian folk costumes. Admittedly, it was hard to catch the eye on the details on women’s folk costumes, but somehow I succeeded. Sorry in advance for some mistakes I made, I’m not exactly a specialist in small details.
Yes, they celebrate their Christmas in a traditional wooden house (in a warm room) during the Russian winter, which is usually celebrated on January 7 according to the Julian calendar (according to the Gregorian calendar, it is December 25, when most Christians celebrate Christmas). and the New Year is January 14. Yes, behind them is the Christmas tree (whose custom was imported from Germany) and traditional food (breads and cakes). I wanted to add and draw an icon, but I wouldn’t care about this drawing, and maybe better not, for some reason. I also wanted to add Donald’s nieces and Daisy’s nieces, but they wouldn’t stop at this drawing, so I just put Louie Duck (Donald’s nephew and Huey’s and Dewey’s brother) in a traditional Russian suit for boys with a hat and a flower on his hat. You have two of the same drawings where Louie wears a white shirt, while in the other two same drawings you have Louie where she has a green shirt as a combination. Maybe for the second time, Donald’s other nephews and Daisy’s nieces will be shown in Russian folk costumes or other costumes of other nationalities. Sorry about this. Some are illuminated photographs and some are not. And behind them you can see two “Matryoshka dolls” (wooden dolls that overlap from bigger to smaller) who are actually Santa Claus (according to them, Frost Father and Ded Moroz) and Snegurochka (The Snow Maiden). For those who don’t know, Donald is in Russian Дональд Дак , Daisy is Дейзи Дак, and Donald’s nephews are Billy, Willie and Dilly ( Билли, Вилли и Дилли - Хьюи, Дьюи и Луи). So similar names.
This is also my gift for my friend @aleksandertrondheim, who loves the couple between Donald and Daisy and I wish him happy holidays.
Sorry if this turned out badly, I try as hard as I can. I also wish everyone who celebrates it, albeit belatedly, happy holidays! And there may be some more surprises.
Thank you for your congratulations!) I am very pleased! Good job! Happy passed holidays to you too!)
