Y’all!

I just discovered a new Wreck it Ralph x Turbo/King Candy ship name:

Carcrash or WiR Carcrash

This ship isn’t super new, but also not super old compared to ships from older fandoms like Darkwing Duck. Because of this, I was not expecting this ship to have so many ship names:

Demolition Derby (First ship name I saw and is also written on the fandom wiki. Usually seen alone, but is also accompanied by WiR like WiR Demolition Derby)

Wrecktastic (Second ship name I saw while browsing Tumblr’s ship tags. Also seen with and/or without WiR added on.)

Bara Beacon (The third name tag I found on Tumblr and probably the oldest ship name of this pairing as it seems to be linked to ship posts ranging from 2013-2018.)

Carcrash (The most recent ship name I found of the two and is mainly seen with WiR added on. Most likely for safety reasons)

This is not a rant post at all. I’m actually fascinated by the handful of ship names these two have and they’re all pretty spot on. I wish the WiR fandom wiki included the other names for this pairing too like how the TF2 fandom wiki named out all the ship names they could find of each pairing.

The next Demolition Derby/Bara Beacon post I wanted to make is taking a bit of time to finish, so I decided to post my recent wholesome doodle of the two in the meantime. It may or may not also be because I wanted to revive their ship tags on Tumblr. 🫣

Its funny how not only is this one of the first King Candy drawings I made, but its also my attempt to draw both characters without references. I got more use to drawing Ralph, but I did have a feeling that I did King Candy wrong halfway through inking the doodle lmao. The doodle was sketched with pencil first, then outlined with artist pens and colored with those multi-colored pens that have like 8-10 different pens in one.

I made another fanart based on one of the Wreck it Ralph x Turbo/King Candy fanfics I read on Ao3! :D

This time its based on “Why Bother Play? (When Its Unfair)” by BugBot (DragonQueenTessa)

This artwork also has a bit more spoilers in it, so I rearrange the image and desc. of this post so anyone who wants to read it won’t be spoiled instantly.

The scene here is based off of multiple scenes in the fic such as their first encounter and a conversation between the two.

I experimented with my mediums more on this one. I used alcohol markers for the backgrounds and color pencils for the characters and background details. I also used a B Graphite pencil for the outlines, white ink to color in Turbo (big and small) and Ralph’s corneas, and black ink for the outlines dividing the 1/3 closeups and the center picture.

What do you guys think? Art critics are welcome since this was the first time I used alcohol markers. The set didn’t come with a blender so I had to make do.

If the artists sees this, I can’t wait to see this fanfic continue! :)

This artwork is based on one of the Ao3 fanfics that got me interested in the Demolition Derby/Wrecktastic/Bara Beacon ship:

Hello Old Friend by Orbo on Ao3

Beforehand, I didn’t know that this ship (Wreck It Ralph x Turbo/King Candy) was a rarepair in the fandom. Even to this day this ship doesn’t have a lot of content.

Yet, when I read this fic along with Bugbot’s “Why Bother Play (When It’s Unfair)”, it got me loving this ship almost instantly. So much so that I decided to draw Demo Derby fanart based on these works.

This artwork in particular is based on a scene where Turbo and Ralph start to get along for the first time. I don’t want to spoil too much, but I thought it was a really sweet chapter. I made this using a pencil to sketch out the forms and color pencils to color in the details.

If the author is seeing this post: Hope you like it! Can’t wait for the next chapter :)
