Do You Have A Gyat??? I Don't See A Sigma In Your Finger

Do you have a gyat??? I don't see a sigma in your finger

i love you guys 😭😭😭😭😭😭 (i don't know what to answer to this JALSJKAJJAJASJA)

Roses are fallin' for you

The whole Once-ler family is working full tilt!

Here's my full piece for the VK Onceler Zine! I was very lucky to get to be a part of it...🥹 I used concept art as my inspiration this time: [link] Keep reading below for my process vid and all my director's commentary!

Thank you for being curious! Here's a video of my WIPs:

Deadlines were TIGHT for this zine! We were given only 2 months (compared to the 6 months I had on the previous onceler zine), so to make sure I could finish on time, I decided to do only base colours and lighting, with almost no shading anywhere. Still, trying to balance all the colours took the longest for me, as you can see in the vid. xP

Also idk if anyone noticed, but for the face I chose to use an already existing onceler doodle: [link] Why? Well, why not! I really liked that doodle and I didn't want it to go to waste. 😆

Things that I enjoyed sneaking in:

-the golden spiral! Vaguely, at least! At the very least I hope your eyes can follow the order of thneed production, from the fallen tree at the window to the tuft harvesting to the thread spinning, to knitting the thneed and then drawing up plans for bigger and better things, and then ending with him pulling on his iconic glove to show he's going to take control now

-15 cents, a nail, and a great great great grandfather snail, as well as a tin pail since that's where you're supposed to deposit your payment

-combining things from the 2012 movie and concept art, the 1972 movie, and the 1971 book (e.g. that funny wrench he uses to fix pipes)

-Miss O'Schmunce-ler! You can see from the vid that I added the bracelet pretty late, because it was a late decision to have a Miss O'Schumunce-ler somewhere. I chose her to be the one picking up the pencil in the end, since she's pretty good with a pencil in the movie hehe

-a thneed, a seed, and a (grickle grass) weed on the floor. The thneed is just the first of many that will soon create a giant pile. The seed lies forgotten in the corner. The weed is foreshadowing the future.

-hinting that Lorax and Once-ler were actually good friends, like they were in the Lorax musical stageplay. 🥺 I kept this part of the script in my mind for this piece:

This was aftermath Once-ler talking to the Lorax, reminiscing on their good times...and also being stupid and inconsiderate because the Lorax was in fact there all along as his friend, trying to warn him of what was going to happen. 😔

So in my zine piece we're witnessing a peaceful time before all the real biggering really starts. I like to think that in this scene, the Lorax had been sitting on the Once-ler's lap, holding his gloves for him and having a nice chat together with maybe some harmless bickering, but then the Once-ler gets a phone call so he cuts their convo short and rolls his chair over to the window to answer it. Putting business over friendship as usual, of course. Inspo for the lap sitting comes from this fanart by Emi that I love: [link]

What else...the parts that I'm proud of the most are the stool (I spent 2 days just drawing this stool), the curtains, and the Once-ler's pose. I was close to giving up on that pose because I had no idea how to draw it but I'm glad that I tried again. I wanted to show him at ease during a stage in his life that we never got to see much: the happier and more innocent days of his biggering when he only had a small shop. 😊

That's all, I think! Thanks for reading if you did! Once again it was an honour to be part of this zine!!

oo nene lo siento tanto dime si en tu corazón hallarás perdón lo siento tanto, deah nada q ver, aprovecho para decirte que AMO tu arte, mucho apoyo Shakoo

JAKAJAKAJ GRACIAAAAAS🥹🫶 significa mucho eso para mi y me alegra banda que puedas decir que amas mi arte 😭💖

BTW GUYS!!! it's the first time i'm going to make a poll here and it's to ask you something that i've been thinking about for a while and it's about what i want to do to thank you and celebrate 1k followers here without your help k wouldn't be here like, i've never gotten this far on any art account JSKSJA (only on tiktok but we all know how numbers work on tiktok) BUT WHATEVER here are the options, which i haven't been able to decide on

DTIYS- well, obviously this would consist of doing a "draw this in your style", although i'm not really a fan of qualify the drawings(?? i don't think i'm capable of doing it yk

Magma- a magma canvas where some of us can draw together ^v^ i would love to do this one, but i hesitated because i don't really know how to moderate magma JAKSJAK

AND FINALLY

THE DRAWING-this last option was the one that made me think about doing the poll in the first place, since it would consist of a drawing (ofc about the onceler JSKSJSJ) where if you choose this option, you could make a cameo, you would give me your oc or your sona and i would draw them!! but, first of all, i needed know how many people would like to participate

BUT THAT!!, whoever you choose will be fine, after all, it's something i want to do to interact more with you guys!!

art-block and anxiety finally let me breathe
