Description So here's my villain for my story, along with Ratigan of course , Captain Doran. Like Mademoiselle Relda, Doran is actually a character from the book series by Eve Titus based on Sebastian Moran. My version of Doran was that he was the lieutenant of Ratigan. About a year after Ratigan's defeat, Doran has become the criminal mastermind in the underworld and Basil is working himself to death to catch this dangerous rat.

I based Doran from Clayton from Tarzan, General Zaroff from "The Most Dangerous Game", and Professor Higgins from "My Fair Lady".

Little bio on Doran: He once served in Her Majesty's Regiment in British India but he eventually went "mad" in the Indian jungles. He always had a passion for hunting predators such as snakes, birds-of-prey, and so on, but he then desired to hunt a more intelligent creature: his own kind (not just rats mind you). His military and marksman skills made him a valuable asset for Ratigan's criminal organization and quickly rose the ranks as his lieutenant. With Ratigan providing him funds to live a lavish lifestyle and the thrill hunting and assassinating, Doran was very loyal to Ratigan and did whatever he commanded. Now Doran seeks revenge on Basil for ridding his employer which forced him to leave his comfortable lifestyle and earn a living by cheating at cards at gentlemen's clubs.

On the top left corner 1) is the general appearance of Doran, little bit iffy his his hands but ehh.. In the far top right corner 2) is a profile view of Doran looking quite angry. Under it 3) is a 3/4 view of Doran looking quite smug. Under it 4) is a front view of Doran without his monocle and cigar, holding his shotgun looking very enraged (I don't know about you but I do not want to meet this guy in a dark alley ).

Beside that 5) is Doran dressed quite nicely in his evening suit and top hat with his cigar and monocle in place. Down in the corner 6) is Doran checking out the tracks of a snake or something. Above that 7) is a body chart I made of Ratigan (left) and Doran (right).

Doran was an interesting challenge for I had to draw him in a way where he doesn't look like Ratigan, so I made his body leaner, gave him a rough appearance (the notch on his right ear), his hands and feet are slightly bigger than Ratigan's, gave him a small mustache, a grey stripe in his hair, and he's always seen with a monocle and cigar except when he's hunting (the latter when he's in the presence of a lady). My style of him is a little inconsistent but I'm learning.

The words around the first pic of Doran are notes of his colors and personality traits. I'll explain more fully once I get a character sheet for him going.

I already have the perfect voice Doran: TIM CURRY!

EDIT: Got a better scan for the pic so it should be better than before.

He does resemble more to Clayton, Clayton was a big rat in the Tarzan movie, and I meant it figuratively. Doran fits the bill! Man, he doesn't seem to be bother others referring him as rat like Ratigan Which is good because he isn't in denial lol! Can't believe he is a chauvinist, I mean thinking so lowly of the fair sex doesn't make him a good target for perfect ladies, of course his only true love is hunting I wonder if no one loved as a child that made him such a bastard? Love your Doran design, very original

Lol, that's who I used. Sebastian Moran was basically a hunter in the Sherlock stories and since Disney is known for recycling their characters - I thought Clayton was the perfect Disney villain as a source of inspiration for Doran.

The fact that he doesn't mind being called a rat is just one of the things that makes him different than Ratigan, heck Doran even cracks jokes about it (of course never in front of Ratigan ).

His chauvinism is a reflection of Professor Higgins's contempt of women, only Doran's contempt is much more than Higgins.

And thank you very much!

Ah, I definitely see the resemblance to Clayton! That was the first thing I thought when I saw him! He looks VERY dangerous, definitely a guy I would be afraid of! Wonderful work, I love your design for him!

Thank you I'm glad you like him! Since Doran is based on Sebastian Moran - a hunter - and GMD is a Disney movie, I thought it would be cool for Doran to be based on Clayton (plus he's one of my favorite villains, behind Ratigan of course )
