in grinch 2018 he tells max he's "the best dog a grinch could hope for." this insinuates his name is not the grinch; while some would assume this is his race or ethnicity, I raise you another interpretation. a guy using this phrase might say "you're the best dog a man could hope for," which means grinch is not a name or a race but actually a gender. on the other hand, the whos seem to be names (cindy lou who, whoville, etc) and therefore I'd like to propose the grinch is some unique, messed up who and that's why he was outcast--cause everybody freaked out.

"Everybody needs a Thneed!"

I was just sketching for fun a few days ago when I drew this little Once-ler. I feel like recently I've been trying really hard to have my art look a certain way (less cutesy, slightly more mature, more gentle, etc). So it was nice to just draw something (this Once-ler) the way my hand just naturally wants to draw. This is the same way I drew my Once-lers when me and my friend Monique did our drawing game.

I love this style dearly but I still can't help but feel the need to draw less cutesy sometimes. I've honestly been feeling very artistically insecure recently and have been trying to learn so many drawing techniques at once that I feel like I don't remember how to draw at the moment.

This was my last drawing of 2024 and also quite possibly my favourite thing drawing I've ever drawn. :'3 Unlike lots of my art (esspecially sketchbook stuff) I'm not just like "that's cute hehe", but I am actually proud of this one. JUST LOOK AT MY DEAR ONCE-KINS IN HIS LITTLE BAKERY 😭

I accidentally doubled the shadow layer and that was like the best thing that could have possibly happened to this artwork, my Once-kins looks so 3D 😭😭 I also spend lots of time drawing his expression and pose to create the energy I wanted. The thing I think really took this drawing to the next level for me was the background. At first I was just gonna draw a basic colored block background but then I decided to suffer instead :'D I wanted to take the time to make this image look as close as possible to how it did in my imagination. Also I discovered drawing food just feels so cozy and wholesome and is so weirdly relaxing and satisfying \(^-^)/💕

This is my darling Once-ler OC for an AU I’ve been creating called “Once-ler-pon A Time”. I’m not 100% what to call him as he doesn’t really have a theme or any defining characteristics, but I’ve been affectionately calling him “Once” and or “Oncekins” (same things I’ll call canon 2012 Once-ler) so maybe one of those could be his name/what he’s known as on Tumblr?

About my AU: In my Once-ler-pon A Time AU (which I’m gonna write as a fanfic) I squished down the movie’s timeline a lot so that Once will get a happy ending while he is still very young. He’ll still spend time alone (I still want him to be tragic) but not as much. And I’m gonna have him, Audrey and Ted team up against O’Hare who is dictating Thneedville. I’m also gonna explore Once-ler as a character a lot, like his thoughts, feelings, backstory, what he did after his company failed, and all that jazz!!

About my OC: my Once-ler is almost exactly like the Once-ler in the 2012 movie. The main difference is I made all my head-canons about movie Once-ler FOR REAL CANON for my Once-ler!!! My Oncekins is a burnt out given, highly sensitive person who’s extremely creative. He’s constantly belittled, ridiculed, ignored and made to work too hard by his family causing him to crave validation, admiration, love and success. He’s extremely clumsy, can be reckless, a free spirit, and tries being tougher than he is sometimes (because of his upbringing) but he’s really just a hugggeee softie. He can be a bit of a space cadet and he’s very talented.

About this drawing: this is supposed to be Once at the very end of the story where he’s living happily. I gave him a new outfit combining elements of vestler and Greedler and gave him flowers to show he protects nature now (plus it’s cute). I’m not 100% on his ending yet, I feel like he’d give almost all his money away, take care of the earth and spend time on his passions like art and music but maybe he’ll run a nonprofit bakery? I don’t know, something wholesome and heartfelt that can feel healing and comforting to him after all he’s been through. ❤️‍🩹💚 (Also his vest pattern is the same pattern Miru667 used for her Audrey’s dress, just wanted to point that out, that pattern isn’t mine)

Some Grinch sketches to welcome the festive season ✨. I watched the 2018 Grinch for the first time since 2021 and I weirdly don’t remember seeing it in 2021 at all. So it was kind of my first time watching it in a way. Me and my mom loved it! It’s so cute and silly and so undeserving of all the hate!! My mom thought the little Grinch was so adorable and I thought the Grinch emotional eating was such a mood so obviously I had to draw both those things.

You know that one (potentially kinda odd) childhood crush you had on a character or actor that just never really went away for some reason? Cus mine’s the young Once-ler from the Lorax movie 💀💀💀 and I always thought I was just weird but then I found out HE HAD A FANDOM??? And there were more dorks like me?!? I was so happy 😅🫶🖤

I rewatched this movie again recently for the first time in probably like five years?? and I’ve been obsessed with it. It’s so cute and goofy and colorful. Soooo here is my Lorax/Once-ler art 🫶🧡🖤 I tried my best to copy the animation style of the movie instead of drawing them in my original art style, but I’ll probably draw him again in my own style cus I love this goofy bean and it appears the people of Tumblr do as well 🖤

You CANNOT tell me they arnt the same people.
