dynamic pose practice but make it gay
Here are some old beat boards @banannerbread and I did when we were making this fan-baby!
The first few explored Varian meeting Yong and making his first friend, completing the first trial of the seven kingdoms. In the nighttime one- Anna had a cool idea that Princess Nuru’s dress was an active star chart and that she could act as the group navigator, using it to guide them. The last few were just some group interactions and Varian coming face to face with his mother.
The super short story is: we imagined each of the seven kingdoms would teach one of the seven alchemical stages of transformation and reveal a totem. With all seven totems acquired, Varian would be able to use them to reunite with his long-lost mother (we’d called her Ulla) who was trapped somewhere unreachable by her former partner, Donella, long ago. Donella was after the totems as well to prevent Ulla’s release and sent Hugo to collect them as a double-agent within the group. Hugo would later betray Donella in service of helping Varian reach Ulla. We viewed Hugo and Varian’s relationship evolving from a sort of Pinocchio/ Lampwick situation (literally what that drawing is from) to that of an equal one. In a way, their bond repaired the partnership that frayed between Ulla and Donella.
Middle school me thought this guy was the shit
Yeah when them Sleep Boys
I really love the amount of platonic love Tangled the series shows.. These three have my heart? Team Awesome of course includes Lance too. Who fell asleep first? Your guess is as good as mine.
I doodled this at 4am when I couldn’t sleep! So naturally made it into a full blown piece… Yes, I winged the background, please don’t mention it.
The Tangled the Series cast if they were characters in Hades !
Varian: if I had a nickel for every time a blond with green eyes betrayed me to their authority figure who had a history with one of my parents, I’d have two nickels
Varian: ...which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
Its been a while, huh?
Don’t touch that. (Again)
Constant stress.
What do you want now?

Diversity win! I’m bisexual and I’m going to kill you!
How are you feeling about Varian growing tall?
OH MY GOSH!!! It was so cool that the artists and writers remembered that he was literally just 14 😭 seeing him basically taller than Rapunzel in season 3 was so funny!!
I LOVE THIS GUY!
