WANDER AAAARRRTTTT

[wandersoul8]

Despite loving this show to bits, I always struggled with drawing Wander, one of the main protagonists from "Wander Over Yonder" So I thought I'd give it another go, especially since its been a few years since I last did fanart for this cool show! I wanna do Hater and Peepers next-

I wasn't too proud on how he first came out, so I redesigned him.

The more spikes, the better.

It's been way to heckin' long since I drew these two together.

Wander(s)

[narfin-frood]

i've been itching to share my swap au since i thought it up, but i think i now finally have an actual baseline to introduce it with!!

the idea isn't that it's a personality swap, but a role swap, with wander and sylvia as antagonists and hater and peepers as the protags, and i have a whole lot to say about it so im gonna go ahead and infodump below the cut

so i've renamed these two, at least, since hater's story has become less about getting over himself and more about how he sees the world Now That He's Gotten Over Himself. i'm calling him The Great (and absent) Lord Lackadaisical right now, but i don't think that's what he'd like to be called, since he's an absent ruler who doesn't really care to be in a position of so much power and would rather fuck off to all the planets with really nice hot tubs. he and Sir Peepers (his loyal knight who cannot be convinced to leave his side) travel the galaxy with hater's sweet ride (i'm not too good at designing motorcycles yet. pending).

i haven't thought of new names/titles for wander and sylvia just yet (i cannot just call him Sitter Over Therer) but i do know what their deal is, and it's the main reason i made this au (i feel like if wander were a villain he would not in fact be a villain like lord hater or dominator because i think that kinda disregards wander's whole Shit, he'd be like screwball, and even then he'd have very strong convictions that he's doing the right thing): wander has a cult (a hivemind, kinda) and sylvia is his priest.

i think wander comes along this mushroom during a time in his life when everything seems to have been torn asunder, and instead of continuing his adventures and learning and growing as a person, the mushroom offers a solution that doesn't require much effort on his behalf. the mushroom links people together borg-style, makes them share a brain and a purpose. wander not only thinks it's super neat, but he's in such a poor state of mind when he finds it, he convinces himself it's the only way to make the galaxy a better place.

sylvia is the only person in his Ring of Friends who isn't hooked up to the mushroom, because she's actually wander's friend, and she's his ride or die. she does the things she does out of free will and dedication to her best friend, including preaching and fisticuffs.

^^^ here's some more of my initial concept art. originally the mushroom was gonna be a tree, but i had a vision of an upside down mushroom (or several, to take the place of watchdogs) scuttling around and by god is it easy to make that look like his hat.

the thing that really really pushes wander over the edge is the sheer boredom of it all. when he's connected to the mushroom, he's very little more than the brain they all share. he can't move around, and that KILLS him (see: the hole lotta nuthin). so when hater (name pending) comes along and refuses to join him and annoys him enough, he gets suuuuper stoked about having something to really DO for once.

anyway. this is what i've got for now. do you like it. you can be honest if you dont like it

Some months into their friendship, Wander offers to help Sylvia relax after a very rough string of days.

They find a small waterfall with a little rock cave, making it feel cozy and private.

There he uses a big scrub brush on her, which Sylvia LOVES even though she was unsure about the entire thing.

He uses it to scrub her neck, back, tail, legs, feet, and even some of her face!

But when that's done, he takes to sitting on her back and washing her feathers for her, taking his time.

Sylvia remarks how wonderful he is at what he does, and assumes out loud that whoever taught him how to massage and wash so well was a saint.

Following this, Wander answers cheerily that he only does "what he imagines he would want."

This helps Sylvia understand that no one's ever done this for Wander, either, and yet he is still so tender.

She's quiet while he compliments her pretty mane, and then happily washes the feathers on her tail.

Sylvia can't help but feel a tad guilty, but brushes it aside and decides to show her new friend appreciation rather than dousing him with negativity.

This. Shit. Was. WORK. >8l

My dedication to the water drops and streaks and bghficdjn xdiuhfiwndxmskde

BUT IT WAS ALSO FUN!! :la:

This was such a challenging piece, finding the right background and stitching that all together was surprisingly difficult, as was assigning the right color and lighting.

There was a very very very specific aura i wanted to have about it and i think i got what i was looking for, for the most part!

Also admittedly i'm a little frustrated because just last night i found a new way i wanna start drawing Wander's head to make it more functional...

*inhaaaaaaale* SOOO now all the works with his ultra round head are sslightly outdated...🤦🏽‍♀️

But idt imma change them, they're already done and up and they're still good regardless!!

Lemme know what you like about this piece, if anything!

Enjoy! :D
