It Is A Tale, A Tale Of A Man…………and A Monster.

Hey king you dropped this 👑

So, SO honoured to have been part of @hmosexymanzine !! For my piece I wanted to make a ref to sexyman character tournament polls, so here is our beloved Once-ler, the OG tumblr sexyman, going back in for the fight while being supported by a few notable colleagues..😇

Download the zine for free [HERE!] Keep reading below for my process vid and commentary!

As a total departure from the warm tones of my previous Once-ler zine pieces [link] [link], I decided to do a piece with cool tones this time :3

Admittedly I didn't have many ideas, except that I had been wanting to draw a beaten up Once-ler again for YEARS now and I figured this would be a perfect opportunity because this is a SEXYman zine and he's HOT like that...and that I also wanted to make a comfort piece (beyond just beating him up). And what I remembered was how shocking the infamous 2022 Sexyman Tournament poll on twit had been for us in the onceler fandom...because the Once-ler had lost SO early on?? In the very first round, to Megamind!!

We were so sad.

So I thought, what if, instead of pitting characters against each other, they supported each other instead? Let's show some respect for the original, very first tumblr sexyman! So then I drew this self-indulgent piece.

Apart from the Once-ler, I included 5 other sexymen: the 4 from the semifinals of the 2022 poll, and Megamind who was the one who had won directly against Once-ler. You've gotta look very closely to see Bill Cipher.

I gave Once-ler a signet ring, along with the crown and cigar, to make it feel like he's of high status - because he is! He's an important figure in fandom history.

The other sexymen (other than Bill Cipher) were drawn only as their arms as a nod to the original Lorax book where the Once-ler is only shown as a pair of arms. But I still tried to keep everyone in-character! One of my favourite decisions was to make Sans' lighter flame blue, just like how a lot of people like to draw him with a flaming blue eye in fanart ;) The lighter being pink was also a nod to his pink slippers.

And of course, a tumblr brand cigar, to stick with the theme of respecting our origins.

I think there's not much else to say...I played it safe by not being too ambitious this time with my zine piece for the sake of my health haha but I think I still like how it turned out! I was so lucky to have been asked to be a guest artist for this zine, I'm very humbled to have my art be placed alongside so many other amazing creators and all the mods were so lovely too! And I guess this piece has another meaning in that the Once-ler fandom will keep coming back again and again no matter how much we get beaten up. You'll never see the last of us. 😌

Much love to everyone in and out of the fandom who are genuine and thank you for reading if you did!

Es perfecto,Siempre debió ser así,nunca me llego a convencer del todo el castillo que tenía ://.

It,s perfect,It should always have been like this, I never fully convinced myself of the castle I had.

twilight's castle redesign! 👑🌳🩷

finally cleaned up that sketch i did like 2 years ago now lol

i always wished for a scene where twilight would step into this new castle grown from the ashes of her old home, & see that not only were all her books saved, but the tree had added even more :"")

THE WARDEN

Hace un tiempo comencé a pensar en… entonces, ¿qué pasa con Ted y los árboles que cambiaron por completo si tomamos en cuenta la historia que estoy haciendo? Ahora no puedo dejar de pensar en eso… ¿qué pasará o qué pasó?

Bueno,se supone que cambió por lo de Once-ler llegando a Superjail(aunque me estoy refiriendo más al cómic y a lo que tengo escrito,más que la actual versión).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A while ago I started thinking about…so what about Ted and the trees changed completely if we take into account the story I'm doing? Now I can't stop thinking about it…what will happen or what happened?

Well, it's supposed to have changed because of the Once-ler coming to Superjail (although I'm referring more to the comic and what I have written, more than the current version).

Ya mencione que amo a Once-ler?

Did I mention that I love Once-ler?
