Even though that's just plain on-model Gangle engaging in plain, canon-compliant Gangle behaviour, this piece was quite tricky to pull off! Turns out that making Digital Circus fanart is more challenging than drawing paper bears - who would have guessed?

First time dipping my toes in MD territory - which of course calls for a study drawing to get a hang of characters, as well as to begin getting mistakes out of my system. I have no idea where this rabbit hole might lead me, but I'm eager to find out!

A squad of disassembly drones trying their best to meet their quota, but their pilot seems to have wandered off somewhere. Again. N's part of this setup had been inspired by a charity stream held by TADC's original voice actors on January 21st 2025.

Sometimes your best bet is to just cut out that bad influence from your everyday interactions and hope it didn't take hold of your impressionable mind.

Three times a charm, as they say - hopefully by now I've managed to identify all the common errors I've kept making while drawing V. Eyes displayed on a curved surface look somewhat weird when drawn in a more dynamic perspective, so I went for a downgrade and drew them according to the logic from pilot episode where eyes were animated as radiant objects sitting on a flat plane on the inside of drone heads.

Who would have thought that something so ferocious would quickly turn out to be one of the most sympathetic characters ever made? Feel free to rationalize away this piece as an old cautionary poster within WDF quarters. After all, it was heavily inspired by Leslie Illingworth's WW2 era illustration.

A full-sized payoff to all the colour practice pieces - and one of the very few cases where final artwork more or less aligns with what I expected from it on conceptualization stage.
