I’m so mad at myself, I can’t believe I forgot to post this on here😭. I originally made this remake of the “Go for it, Nakamura!” In AUGUST 2021, but oh well.. ALSO, the girl in the pic is my self insert <3

Press for better quality

(this progress post won't be as in-depth as I wanted to present it, as it still won't let me upload the blog I worked on for whatever godforsaken reason:'( it is what it is)

I've gotten around Once-ler's fedora, a step in was almost dreading because I've only tailored miniature clothing before.

Before going on a rampage, I made a miniature prototype to test the waters. It's ugly as hell but that's expected

Yes, the inner structure is made of paper AND I sew on through it. I have my ways 🙃

The amount of reference pictures I gathered for this one step is unmatched. The shape of his hat is weird to understand, let alone replicate. For a first attempt, I can't say I'm too unsatisfied:

Of course, I'll need to fix that ugly brim of cloth that still sticks out, but I digress.

Oh well 🤭

Here's the goofy little side-by-side comparison:

I honestly couldn't care less about how crusty his skin looks, blame illumination for leaving me the task to produce a physically holdable figure of the hipster Once-ler (though I should almost be grateful that they didn't capitalise off this fellow. Quite a delightful irony)

Regardless, I adore him to the moon and back and to the moon and back and to the moon and back and to the moon and back-

Also yes I did erase his mum from the reference picture. She doesn't deserve the title of a (positively influencing and supportive) mother...

Hi folks! 😭 Buckle up, it's a long one.

Life's been treating me well, but unfortunately I got distracted to post as per usual. Here's a couple of highlights from my current Once-ler progress:

I had to redo his pants twice. Both times I made them too thick, but the first time I had a mental breakdown because of how bad they fit so I tore them apart. Ahem.

Here's something else: I had to change the hair shape before at first it was too flat looking

I was so darn tempted to let him keep the mullet, you have no idea.

I was getting awkward having this dude be naked longer so the next day I started sewing the white shirt. It took me a solid two hours but luckily my measurements were flawless. I love the end result, though there's still things to fix.

What I screwed up on was the vest. I wanted to give it a sewn trim which the original design doesn't have. This made it look aged, like his grandfather has lend it to him or something. I was upset about the time I wasted but I put it on him nonetheless... Photoshoot time !

Me obsessing over his face. 💞

The original has very subtle freckles, but for mine are intentionally made more visible. I find them so much more attractive

Goofy side by side compassion... It's so weird. They look alike but at the same time not. Till now I hadn't realised how mine has his eyes more wide apart. I guess it's just embedded in me, the need to make his features "humane." Them again, let's not talk about the painterly texture of mine's skin... Leave him alone, not everyone ages like wine.

🤭💋

Oh, if I had a tiny mouth

I love this derpy fella to bits. His skin has been coated with primer which makes it smooth and shiny. If I hold his tiny hand for long enough it starts to get warm as well :')

As of now, I started to make his new vest as well as the hat.

Thank you all for your support. I genuinely didn't expect but to remain a little obscure blog - take care everyone 💐💞💞

"Oncie, who has time to chop down trees, if love is what you truly need?"

Just to establish that I CAN make competent artworks. I swear 😭

This frame always annoyed me because it was the prime example of his mom's manipulative way of getting whatever she wants out of her son, even if it turn into breaking a promise.

Here's the unedited version by the way

ONCE-LER VALENTINE'S SPECIAL:

It's been another long day. Despite the celebration that's intended for lovers, there's still plenty of hustle just like in any other occasion. The hustles, the usual come-and-go. An unsolicited feeling of boredom with the burden of mundanity is lingering throughout. You're lost in the Limbo of your mind.

After the eternal has subsided, it is finally time to be off from your part-time job at an instrument repair... A few hesitant taps catch your attention.

Before you, The Once-ler himself - albeit it might as well be a statue of him considering his petrified state. The gaze of his azure irises dart all over, occasionally meeting your own, the sanguine blush of his cheeks make his freckles more prominent

The guy has been lingering in the back of your mind for a couple of hours and even days prior, though given that you two aren't much more than working partners it could feel unwarranted to have made the approach yourself. You can't dwell on thought too long before he begins

Once-ler's brows curl up as he hands you the bouquet he didn't bother hiding well at all.

His speech is tender yet thrilled as he makes the confession:

If it hasn't been clear enough with the amount of personal issues he's been sharing recently, he's had feelings for you for a while. There's a lot of hustle in his life as well, having to get around various part-time jobs to sustain himself; the disapproval and mockery of the townsfolk upon him offering his Thneed publicly haven't exactly been a source of comfort. But you have. There's still plenty to consider, and he makes it clear that understanding his feelings―platonic or romantic―for you is rather confusing. Yet there's no denial that his affection is genuine.

You don't notice, but the palpitations of his heart bursts and flutter underneath his clothes. The soothing scent of roses flutters about too, gently scattering the two of you as you stand in proximity...

Eight roses, carefully picked... There's a chance that he might been the one who gathered them from a bush... He's been known for cutting on plants anyway. Their petals bend and twist in an endless twirl, their spines have been thoughtfully cut away. You lean closer to inhale their enchanting perfume. Your eyes glistening at the sight...

Huh, what's that?

He's also brought chocolates?

You're aware that Once-ler tends to be short on money to spend, you know, given that his Thneeds are currently very disregarded...

Once-ler's face begins to brighten up, not only from a smile but as he's slowly getting confident with this interaction. He tries to control his timid grin as you receive the golden box. They're not the cheapest kind. He's certainly giving a lot here.

For a while, you're left speechless... What could be said anyway? You've gotten too caught up with your own worries, and now him pouring out his heart in that way just makes it all hard to process.

You begin by expressing gratitude: not only for the devoted gesture, but for his determination too. It's definitely a bold move and, of course, there's the need to consider whether you could work out well together. Neither of you are familiar with closeness. Regardless, you're willing to give it a go. You express that this all feels like the plot of a carefully constructed dream.....

In that case, YOU must really be the guy of my dreams!!

...

That was the last straw. He hides away as you chuckle at his dorkiness. It's all so corny, but the way you compliment Once-ler's essence it makes it completely worthwhile.

End 🌹

Wow that was goofy. Anyways, here's some extras!!

~ You two decide to go out for the day. You offered to take a photo of him along with his gifts. The moment of his smitten gesture is now forever sealed in time.

Oh, that derpy little smile is what was missing !

~ You invite him to have a couple of chocolates. He refused and was adamant about you having all of them. In the end, he did try one or two...

~ After teasing him jokingly about the vast amount of times he stuttered whilst expressing his feelings, you pucker up and lean closer... He gets more flustered than ever

Perhaps, in the possible future you too might share together, a full-on lipstick kiss attack would be an appropriate way to proceed - after all, his silly reaction is to die for !

(quite literally. Bro looks unhinged yo)

Happy late valentine's to all my folks 💞

my 6th thneedmas!!

holiday themed greedler for @buyourthneeds

with the 10 yr anniversary of the fandom coming up i was feeling particularly nostalgic this thneedmas, so this was a bit of a revamp/redraw of the first thneedmas related thing i ever drew from way back in 2014! i wasn't openly active in the fandom at that time since i have weenie hut jr disease but i was still lurking and still drawing.

here's the 2014 version! :
