Wonderful Nerd - Blog Posts

The Ducktales 2017 art book has me back on my bullshit once again-

I found this concept design for Gyro, and I noticed this little detail I just love where he has a little pocket chain. Just a small detail, Y’know? Well I thought “Oh! That’s actually a cute little detail! Maybe I could incorporate that whenever I draw this nerd!” …Then it all kinda snowballed from there.

Because then I thought- What if it was a watch? Because I have a feeling he’d be the exact nerd to carry around a fancy little pocket watch with him.

So my whole headcanon I somehow gathered from this is: Gyro has this little pocket watch that he usually has on him. He wouldn’t typically admit it, but it’s a pretty sentimental item to him. Well, That’s all because it’s a gift that his father Fulton crafted and made for him back when he was younger. (I wanna say as a “good luck charm” before Gyro left for his Tokyolk internship. Y’know. Because.)

Am I pulling things out of thin air? Probably! Is this nerd on my mind way too much? Also probably. But is this fun? Hell yes.
