CatCFember - Day 10 - Veruca Salt

CatCFember - Day 10 - Veruca Salt

We only found out about CatCFember three days ago, so we're a little late to the challenge.

'05 Veruca & Post-Factory Veruca, by Dolly.

'the Personifications' - Fortuna // 'Luck'

'O' Fortuna, Lady Luck. At least, she tells people she's the Personification of Luck, but the other gods know what she really is.

Some gods lay low whilst governing their jurisdictions, and then some run a highly-exclusive Las Vegas casino, run around in a copy of 39-year old middle aged man's body, and keep a collection of human workers who've lost their free will in a bet.

As one does.'

based on an rp moment in which chai-nuzz genuinely accidentally (because i didn't realise the bunny suit unequipped them) walked out in front of two random WoLs with no trousers on

there's extra effort into today's catcfember because we're at a convention tomorrow and probably won't have time to do it?? i dunno

maybe we'll finally listen to view from here and doodle something. Like, I know Atticus has wanted to listen to the OBC, but I think he's been waiting for the Prime Slime Time, yknow?

he's gonna have thoughts; there's a lotta changes he hates in theory, and i've never seen a person hate a design with so much scorn as he hates Ethel Teavee lmaoo

also unrelated to the above, but if anyone asks: my full name is now Mycicle Twitch Dot Television. Stream knows what's up. Thanks chat.~

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but having finally drawn the West-End Oompa Loompa...

Not a fan of the design that much.

The actual FX of the outfits are fantastic- that's such a Great way to get around the height issue- but their actual designs don't really stand out in a way you'd expect from an Oompa Loompa. 1971? Iconic. 2005? Very memorable. Musical? honestly quite forgettable. The same goes for the book too: despite CatCF being our lifetime special interest, I had to google it to remember what they looked like.

The musical feels like it tried to keep its designs closer to the book, but... maybe it shouldn't have? We love Quentin Blake's illustrations- an English treasure is he- but other than Willy Wonka himself, none of his CatCF designs are that memorable.

It might just be an unpopular personal opinion- although we did specialise in character design/concept art during our art degree, if that gives us any credibility- but sometimes, when the source material is lacking, it's better to diverge and play about and be inventive, than glue yourself to the idea of faithfulness.
