Wu and Garmadon

Design notes below:

Beyond the fact that it should be common fucking sense that it was a tragedy that was no one’s fault but the Overlord’s, it’s also because I have two younger brothers myself. Whom are now basically the same age Wu and Garmadon were when the bite happened.

It’s so easy for me to imagine that same incident happening to them. I can picture it happening in our backyard. The boys innocently messing around, loosing a toy over the wall, the older brother going to get it while the younger stays behind in fear of disobeying and angering our father (who can be strict when it comes to rules).

And just- the thought of my youngest brother being called a coward, a pussy, lazy, for a tragedy he couldn’t possibly anticipate, for acting like the CHILD he is, has me SEETHING with rage.

Now every time I see someone unironically blame Wu for the bite -labeling him the root cause of Garmadon’s evil and using degrading language while doing so- for a moment, I imagine my baby brother in his place. And it only reinforces how fucking stupid (and quite frankly appalling) it is to blame Wu, a child who had absolutely no way of knowing what would happen, who simply acted the way a child does, who simply wanted to obey his father’s rules and never asked Garmadon to get the sword for him.

ESPECIALLY when Crystalized gave us a SOLID BLAMEWORTHY PARTY in form of the Overlord. Who literally bragged about controlling the Devourer and making Garmadon evil for his own ends. Literally had a whole "IT WAS ME BARRY" moment.

With his pose I took more inspiration from movie Wu, specifically Wu playing his staff like a flute and I was going to do a more serious one as well but I thought this was just the right amount of goofy for Wu so here he is with the color gold, I know it’s not really a color but humor me
