Description
It is (as Gosalyn mentioned once) a bit sad that Darkwing has been fighting Megavolt since high school and still hasn't managed to beat him.
Here's a little tribute to my favourite DW-villain Elmo Sputterspark, a.k.a. Megavolt. :*)Graphite pencil and Photoshop / 2007

The sad thing for me is that when I fist watch the high school reunion episode I could very easily see Megavolt and Darkwing being friends through outΒ their school years and now they're enemies

Believe me... I felt the same.

Maybe that's why Darkwing doesn't beet Megavolt,Β subconsciously, he still see's Megsy as his friend

If he even recognizes Megavolt as Elmo...I mean I haven't seen the episode yet but I have a feeling that Megavolt is different from Elmo at least in personality. After all getting zapped by an electrical machine to the point that you gain electrical powers could mess up anyone's mind, and as far as I know Elmo was a lot shyer and more mellow than Megavolt is.
So maybe Drake didn't even know that Elmo had become Megavolt until the reunion, and before then assumed that Elmo had run away and was hurt that Elmo never contacted him. That could also explain why Darkwing was reluctant to have friends before meeting Gosalyn and Launchpad.
Then after the reunion Drake was still hurting from the past and decided to 'forget' about Megavolt and Elmo being the same person. Though I thought of a fanfic idea that forces Darkwing to confront Elmo. Megavolt, due to finding out that his powers are slowly killing him (turns out Elmo's memory getting worse was a symptom). Don't worry, thanks to Morgana Elmo is saved, and the situation also caused Elmo to decide to reform.

I'll grant you my view is a bit less realistic (but it's a cartoon, so sue me). I always preferred to view it as a genuine friendship between them, but with mutually exclusive goals. In some ways like a grand game (but with Drake more conscious of the real-world implications, while Megavolt is a little bit fuzzy on consequential cause-and-effect type stuff). I just want the status quo to not be sad (and I definately feel like they were school friends).

Hmm, I thought in the episode Megavolt makes his first appearance, Darkwing mentions that he sent him to the electric chair -twice. Anyway, this picture is a nic poirtrait shot of Darkwing, although Megavolt comes out a little squashed in. But the animosity is palpable.

Darkwing just tends to take in most of the picture-space whenever I draw him... pompous duck that.

"I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the clippers that cut your wires! I am... Darkwiiing Duck!" Oh, yeah!

Ah, yes. My FAVORITE eppy. It really inspired me to write my fic, 'Electric Phoenix.' Would you like to check it out sometime? Both it and Merani's own fic inspire me greatly for it.
Megavolt's story is a tragic one. I could go on and on about that...

Ah, I've heard about your fanfic... Merani mentioned it on her page - yes, would you mind sending me the link, please?

It's in the Darkwing Duck folder in my gallery. So far, there's 11 chapters of it. It's called 'Electric Phoenix.' It's also up on FF.net, where I'm also called Shychick.
I hope you enjoy it!

Ich habe nun sΓ€mtliche Folgen, die mindestens einen der FΓΌrchterlichen FΓΌnf enthalten, gesehen und habe das GefΓΌhl, das Wort "archenemy" in jeder von ihnen mindestens einmal gehΓΆrt zu haben, unabhΓ€ngig davon, ob es sich beim BΓΆsen dieser Folge um Megs, Veggie-Reggie, Quackerjack, Liquidator oder Negs gehandelt hat. O_o

Actually that's really neat to think of htem going all the way back to teenagers together... I'd never thought of it in that perspective. Somehow that makes it really even cooler. ^_^

For some reason, DW looks kinda annoyed. Must be because Megavolt is worse than dust, always coming back D:
Not that I complain >w>
I really like the little spark on Megs' finger, looks like he's focused on something. What are you trying to remember, Elmo? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess to DW Sparky is the most annoying person in the universe. xD For a villain he's a bit nutty, but just too dangerous to be ignored!

Darkwing's eyes and his expression! Wow! I think it's wonderful what you are able to do! Keep it up, pleeeeease

Thanks, I'll see what I can do...

The style, and colouring of this is really wonderful! I really like it. You really used photoshop? How did you manage to make it look so textured that way?
Megavolt was my favourite as well. I too enjoyed how Darkwing never managed to beat him.

Jupp, Photoshop. I don't have another programme, to be honest...
π: 0 β©: 1
That amazes me that you're able to do that. Are these downloadable textures, or do you make them up yourself?
π: 0 β©: 1
I downloaded these textures online, unfortunately the site doesn't exist anymore. But there are always artists, who create new ones. You just have to keep looking around. Some of the textures were also done by me with different Photoshop-brushes and a lot of patience.

Nice coloring. I always thought Darkwing had one of the best superhero suits out there and he looks great here.
π: 0 β©: 1
He most definitely has the nicest colours. xD

I love your shadings here. They make the picture look really cool...

Sad?! Bite your tongue! Don't forget - DW sent him to the electric chair...twice!
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, I remember that scene. I couldn't stop laughing, because it is sooo true. But who cares?
You did a very good job; the look on DW's face is marvelous!

Pardon me whilst I squeal at how awesome this is....
*EEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Wow! That is one awesome picture of Darkwing's anger with himself that he has been fighting

I tried to bring out DW's dark side here... I guess he's more like Negs than he'd like to admit, eh? *g*
π: 0 β©: 1
OH yes, there is alot of Negaduck in Darkwing Duck than he'd care to admit! That's why I love him so because he is just filled with all this emotion that everyone can relate to. He is definitely not a goodie goodie that's for sure. Like everyone, he has lots of great qualities, but he has his faults. And one big fault is not being able to trust anyone, but that probably comes from his early childhood.
I really admire your talent for drawing Darkwing Duck! You really capture his true personality and character. Your pictures are filled with all of his emotion.

I wish they'd shown us a bit more of DW's childhood. There was so much potential going down the drain when they didn't take the opportunity to elaborate on Drake's past and why he decided to become what he's now. Sure, there are about three different explanations for him becoming DW, but they're only scratching on the surface of what Drake's true reasons were.
