“Okay, check out this one – what does it remind you of?”
“Mmm, tough one. ‘m feelin’ like a Truffula tree in the fall time,” Lorax explained calmly, squinting his eyes to get a better look at the cloud. “’s not exactly as naked as a winter one but it does have less tuft, if y’know what I’m sayin’.”
“Ooohh, good one,” Norma nodded, her sight focused onto the sky. “I was just gonna say a lollipop but maybe I’m just hungry. Hah, kinda like the ones from the sweetshops in Greenville, so cute.”
“Eeeh, I’d be on the fence. The edges are too rigged, kid.”
“Then it’s just on me then. Or you’ve never felt the joy of buying yourself huge candies as an adult.”
She shrugged, not trying to fight any of the other remarks from the forest guardian. Her eyes however went back to the man laying on her right. One who conspicuously has been quiet for a longer time than necessary. And Norma, knowing this man better than anyone, had the right idea to get worried about his lack of flowery language and all the oohs and ahs.
“Hey, big guy,” she nudged his slender arm much to his surprise. As his whole frame shook and when he brushed his jet black bangs from his sky blue eyes, Norma couldn’t lie, he was simply the most adorable person she’d ever seen. “Your turn, what do you see?”
I can’t believe I waited this long to post the illustration for the @oncelerzine that I did. I regret not posting it sooner, but I wanted to give people a chance to buy the full thing first and see it in there! ❤️ Feel free to check out the whole project before it’s too late!
Anyways, if you haven’t heard, this was a project dedicated to celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Lorax (2012) movie. As much as I love drawing the Once-ler in his iconic biggering phase, I knew from the moment I saw this project I wanted to dedicate a full piece to his aged design. And nothing struck to me more than the scene at the end of the movie. I worked on this on and off for months and I can happily say I’m very proud of it.
As odd as the fandom was in it’s peak, I have many fond experiences and still feel drawn to it. I see art on my dash sometimes or a new Once-ler ask blog pop up and get excited. Glad y’all still exist and are as chaotic as ever, ✌️
