The Sultan and Razoul - Commission

Hey guys I haven't just worked on the animation this Silent Summer, but also on this other commission from Rodney Talon about the wild and fascinating world of jumpchain. 

(BTW, here's how the Beettle Knight was received on Reddit)

This time the characters that got to be stripped from their status quo are part of my childhood, the Sultan and Razoul from Disney's Aladinn. Razoul is possessed by the "paranormality" of David Landers, a character from DP7, an alternative universe of the Marvel comics, characterized by a superhuman strength, superhuman muscularity and loss of hair. He.

The Sultan is instead possessed by a demon from the cartoon canon of Aladinn, which makes him edgier and more authoritative and currently the only constant in the distorted perception of reality that the transforming Razoul is experiencing.

Mixing so many things from different IPs might be confusing, but quite fascinating, and I happened to listen to the movie's soundtrack while drawing.

Some things have aged like milk, even in the music department. And never realized how Robbie Williams's performance dominated the entire movie.

Because, you know, I'm Italian and I've experienced the Italian dub. Genie's voice actor wasn't even the assigned Robbie's Williams voice actor, but another comedian, that at least put a good singing performance and kept voicing the genie even for the animated series.

Series that I've liked more than the movie itself. Even as a stupid kid I perceived that those orientalist stereotypes (c'mon, stumbling on three different fakirs in one row!) were too on the nose. And the series managed to round some of the flatter characters, especially the Sultan and Razoul.

Yeah, the fact that they all dress like Las Vegas's strippers remains, but is that actually a bad thing?
