Many, many, many, many, many hours later, my capstone project is complete: a mall full of my favorite guys!
Not gonna wax too poetic about my creative process because that's what the artist statement is for, but I will say that this was the most involved, ambitious, and creatively fulfilling piece I've ever gotten to do. OCs, cartoon characters, video game protagonists, DnD player characters, we've got it all here! Each of these characters is special to me in one way or another, and I had an absolute blast cramming them all into one canvas.
Tumblr got nowhere near displaying the full image so I had to condense the hell out of it to get the whole thing on there. If you want a closeup of any character in full resolution just sent me an ask! I would love to hold my little guys up to the camera for you :)
And yeah I'm gonna tag every piece of media represented. If you're seeing this in your tag, one of your fellas is in here somewhere!

Apple tv is making a WondLa show and as a fan of the books, I have to say I feel a slight bit of dissapointment!
The art style is extremely clean and scifi, it's that smooth CG look and I think I just would have loved to see it in the dark Crystal, lotr animated movie, high fantasy style that I know!
And disclaimer let me make some things clear:
1. The art for the show is not BAD. It is not Wrong, artists also made that and I hope they were compensated well for work well done. This is me expressing a personal preference for a different art style.
2. My GOD this is not about Eva Nine redesign.
Just putting that in the appropriate sized font, but no yeah Eva was like synthetically made she can be any ethnicity. And those are the types of changes that should be made!
There's actually a whole plotline of Eva infiltrating this city and having to conform and all that, and I think it will hit way harder with a non-white protagonist.
But yes once again I would have loved to see a new 2024 Eva redesigned in that high fantasy style! This Eva with original Eva's braids and baggy, off shoulder comfy looking outfits that made me Feral as a kid I'd love to see it.
And yeah those are the choices I feel dissapointment about!
Eva's wand becoming a sci-fi bracelet?
Muthr robot losing all those crazy panels and mechanical pieces for a smooth floating Alexa looking design.
I know there is certainly very practical reasons they couldn't reproduce this but I feel like it's the mindset of making just a sci-fi show that is the issue!
WondLa is a sci fi story, TOLD like a fairytale of a girl leaving her wood home, straying from the forest. At first look it just really feels like they sacrificed all the fun tactile storybook stuff for this very clean aesthetic that is just different to what I love about WondLa.
I think something like how Wolfwalkers or Klaus was styled would be much more suitable! And appletv produced Wolfwalkers I think!
So once again there is no moral failing happening here, I'm just saying I'm a fan of the original art and would have Preferred if we leaned harder that direction.
#also wanted to get ahead and say here is the opinion of a fan#and if racists try to claim Eva's new design as why this show might not appeal to old fans#just want you to know they're dumb and wrong and suck and it's not because of that#honestly seeing Eva with my hair texture as a kid might have Changed my Life😭👏#search for WondLa#wondla#animation#eva nine#books#tv shows

WondLa Trailer
After living her entire life in a bunker, Eva feels ready to venture beyond her walls and meet other humans. An attack on her bunker forces Eva to the surface of the Earth...now inhabited by non-humans, covered in alien-looking fauna, and called Orbona. Eva is joined by new friends as she searches for other humans, her home, and her destiny.
WondLa, based on Tony DiTerlizzi's The Search for WondLa book series, stars the voice talents of Jeanine Mason (Eva), Teri Hatcher (Muthr), Brad Garrett (Otto), Gary Anthony Williams (Rovender), Chiké Okonkwo (Besteel), D.C. Douglas (Omnipod), and Alan Tudyk (Cadmus Pryde). Bobs Gannaway serves as showrunner and an executive producer. Animation is by Skydance Animation. Other executive producers include DiTerlizzi, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, Julie Kane-Ritsch, and Skydance Animation's John Lasseter, David Ellison, and Dana Goldberg.
WondLa premieres on Apple TV+ on June 28, 2024.

Based off this particular bit from Search (chapter 12) that always gives me a really funny mental image.
Don't have the book on me right now so I had to do my best to transcribe from the audio book lmao. I apologize for any incorrect paragraph breaks in my transcription.
reblogs are highly appreciated, and please do not repost my art

These are not the same character. I refuse to believe these are supposed to be the same character. They've turned her into a funko pop. Why does she look like that.
#the search for wondla#wondla#i keep seeing people on twitter calling it a fallout ripoff and MAYBE they wouldn't be SAYING THAT#if skydance had ACTUALLY INCLUDED ANY OF THE THINGS THAT MADE WONDLA UNIQUE

Gang I fear I'm not loving what they're doing with the aesthetics of this show. They de yassified Muthr. But at the same time Rovender looks great so there's that at least. But what I'm really confused by is the fact that they spoil one of the biggest twists on the first book in the press release????
#im lowkey unimpressed 😭😭#Alan Tudyk is playing Cadmus though so thats pretty cool#tldr im feeling very mixed emotions#wondla#the search for wondla

Honestly, the Muthr and Eva designs for the WONDLA tv show are. So disappointing.
Muthr got completely overhauled, and in such a disappointing way. She’s got the most bland design I’ve ever seen. She’s not unique at all, she barely even registers as a robot. Her original design (right picture) is so iconic and worked so well, artistically I have no idea why you’d abandon her more alien form (though I imagine it’s cheaper to animate a smooth ovoid blob than a machine that’s so complex it’s practically organic).
Eva-9 is now the most unremarkable person ever. She’s got no iconic visual character traits at all. They don’t give her any of the braids or beads that Eva has in the early books (right picture) , and honestly that’s a shame, her hair did a lot to communicate her personality and it changed as she progressed through her adventures so it evolved to reflect how Eva grew up in her new alien environment. Her clothing does at least appear to emulate the functionality of the utilitunic of the books, so I appreciate that, but otherwise Eva doesn’t stand out from a crowd of protagonists at all.
It’s so underwhelming, and while nothing can compare to the book illustrations for their detail and designs, I feel like Eva and Muthr deserved far more care in the way they were adapted to animation, because their current designs pale in comparison to their originals. Perhaps there were budget constraints, maybe Muthr was too unsettling in her original form, I’ve no clue why they ended up this bland. I hope the rest of the show at least has better designs and story to make up for this. Rovender and Otto looked perfectly fine and clearly inspired from the books, so it’s really jarring to see how much Eva and Muthr have diverged.

I read the first book of Wondla when I was like 12 and finally got around to reading the whole trilogy now as an adult and still absolutely love it! I decided to redraw a screenshot from the show with the book designs because .. well .. everyone kinda agrees that the show designs are a massive downgrade 🥲 the disneyfication does not suit wondla at all and I still mourn the artstyle loss … but hey, at least some people on here care about the books as much as I do! Which is why I‘m posting this lol I‘m barely active on here otherwise

Apple TV let me in so I can redesign the WondLa cast and give them their souls back-
Anyway. Have a show Eva redesign because what the fuck is this soulless plastic shit. Ultimately went with a mixture of book and show but made sure to give her her complicated hairdo back 🫡
please do not repost my art
