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

Honestly, the Muthr and Eva designs for the WONDLA tv show are. So disappointing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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

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.

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????

In The Search for WondLa when Rovender and Eva are mourning Muthr and he says he should have died instead of her makes me SCREAM. He says it should've been him because Muthr had a child to take care of 😭 FUCK

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 🫡

For those of you who don't know, The Search for Wondla got turned into an animated trilogy on Apple TV and I'm kinda upset about some of the choices.
The main character has a robot care taker named Muthr. Here's her original design:

And here's her redesign in the show:
Tumblr media
ARE YOU JOKING.
the other creatures look good at least, but with Eva they literally just tried to make her a Disney princess instead of having fun with her hair and outfit like they did in the book. I like that she's a person of color now, though.
But the vibes are very much trying to replicate Pixar, and opting for simplicity over creativity. From what I can tell about the trailer, there's nothing bold or risky about it anymore, and it's become a cash grab.
I could be wrong since I haven't seen it, but those are my thoughts so far.

I tried to do a screencap edit for a slightly more book accurate Eva, even just little changes makes it look so much better… Amazon I’ll never forgive u for butchering my girl
