Moana fan fic drawings part 3 (WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE FAN FIC. LOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK.)

So here are the last drawings for ‘Only a Voice’ which can be found on fan fiction.net under the name HolyMaiden24 (and these drawings can be found on Deviantart under the same tumblr name). These drawings cover the last chapters of the fic so… yeah, spoilers. Also possible trigger warning for blood.

1. So I drew this moment from chapter 12 long before I wrote it. In which Moana has a BIG regret when she realizes something from chapter 9 (If anyone was wondering, she was charmed more by Tamatoa’s charisma than looks at the time. Even then, I wasn’t clear on what he looked like for the reader’s interpretation). 2. So I tried to do this next drawing ‘tattoo’ style and I admit its not that good (and the background color was random choice) but I did it because.... I wanted to experiment and I wasn’t eager to try drawing realistic giant crabs anytime soon.

3. This was one of those things I knew I wanted for the fic but when I tried drawing it, it made me recall how small Moana was in comparison to Maui and I had to think on how I could get the visual I wanted and not have Moana covered up completely by Maui. So this drawing also helped influence how I wrote the scene in question. As you can tell, this is where I’m trying to make Maui look a little more closer to his design (I have a hard time with drawing lips, but I wanted to experiment with him in this round of drawings).

4. The chibi but not as bloody version of the scene from above in question. Again, some experimentation. Also I want to add that I like Moana’s ceremonial dress, but I like it a little more without the headdress.

5. Ok I admit this was my first attempt at drawing a slightly more full scale version of Tamatoa, so next time I might have better luck on drawing him in all his accurately sized and bioluminescent glory. I was aiming for a ‘Shadow of the Colossus’ type of visual, like how Moana’s fight with Tamatoa went down. This was a visual I had long before this chapter was actually written and I wanted to include it but you can tell its more concept art than anything (Maui wasn’t holding onto that rock when I finally wrote the moment out). Also in case you can’t find Moana, she is standing on the left rock. Actually a lot of these drawings were made long before I wrote out these chapters. Might as well just say it before I keep saying it.

6. We are getting into heavy spoiler territory so... yeah, bad doodle of writer to discourage those who are about to get too far in.

7. One of my favorite drawings from an otherwise depressing chapter. Originally there wasn’t blood and then I just went with it along with some bruising. I don’t even know what else to say about it to be honest but if you like looking at details, you might see something I didn’t write in this chapter because I thought it would be too silly to mention during this moment. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it.

8. The dream woman.... AKA Te Fiti. So the first drawing of her and the ocean was SUPPOSED to be in the last batch of drawings but I opted not to because I had a feeling people would quickly figure out who she was before I could reveal it. I opted to use gray colors from a green monochrome on photoshop to keep with the nature theme, in addition to giving her actual green eyes to hint at her divine status. This was when I knew how I wanted to bring Moana back to life, though at first I wanted Moana to be in the process of dying before I decided to completely kill her off first. I loved the idea of using the hongi as a way to bring someone back to life since its known as the ‘breath of life’ and there was something highly spiritual about using it in such a way. I almost regard it as the reverse of what happened in the film (you know what I’m talking about and I’m not going to spoil it if by some miracle you didn’t see the film).

9. My personal favorite of these drawings and one that was inspired by the ending of the Disney version of the Little Mermaid (its the moment where Ariel goes up to Eric in that purple dress and he spins her around in the air for a moment. I even used it as a reference for this drawing). Things like this make me happy. Also I don’t know what kind of tattoo Maui would have on the other side of his back instead of the one of Te Ka, so I also lucked out with this pose.

10. .... Maybe not the hug that was written out in the fan fic, but its still a hug and any image of Moana and Maui hugging makes me happy. Oh yeah, and she has lips in this drawing this time. *laughs* Any way, thanks for looking at these drawings and reading the fan fic. :)
