Draw a character you like!

This was done in between work and I finished it last night on a whim. I meant to do this back in December w/ a different set of characters but I took too long lmao

Original template below:

Here's a close up of everyone with a lil yap session-

PLUMPY!! THE OLD MAN IS BACK!! His candy's been changed from Sugar Plums to Candied Apples, which I suppose makes sense since no one really knows what Sugar Plums are now and days except for those who've seen the Nutcracker or been read Twas the Night Before Christmas (btw; this is what they are-):

I do have to wonder why he was gone for so many years though, it can't be because of public domain because the Lorax is still under copyright (2067). But again... with no talk of it online except for the listings on the Hasbro site and 2 TikToks, I wonder if he's why. Or it's because it was announced 2 weeks ago at a convention, idk-

Putting these 3 together bc they share the same space now, and wow... I did not realize how geographically splotchy the games were. Like, the two climates that are cold and the two climates often combined to make a sweet aren't near each other, but split? I mean, not much of an issue with Grandma Nutt and Gloppy since they were like, seperated by one land, but look at the others!

And the last three games had the cold climates polar to each other and the Grandma Nut/Gloppy being cut out!

Ik this is a Baby's First Game, but it's intresting to point out the lil details that get left behind. Then again, I'm not a geo-expert, so maybe this can happen IRL where similar climates can be split in the same region?

Anyway, who's next?

... Oh! Lord Licorice! I wanted to avoid talking abt Mint and Frostine till later, but since they followed under the same change, I'd figure to get both in one stone; the layout of the areas been changed. Anyway, Licorice! He looks so sweet (pun intended) here! Cutie patootie... my shayla... Oh wait, Licorice Lagoon and Choclate Swamp are on top of each other now.. must feel like Punk Hazard crossing this part.

King Kandy, back to his beautiful pinky-glory! Ik all the other designs are meant to be like "Wow, he's very old, must've been ruling for some time" but I'M SUCH A SUCKER FOR HIS PINK BEARD AND HIS WRAPPER-LIKE ATTIRE HE LOOKS LIKE A CUTE GRANDPA!!

It seems that much like Grandma Nutt, he's decided to step down from the throne and take over Ice Cream Float, or Ice Cream Beach as it's now called, which he fits very well with his new Ice Cream crown. I also love his otter friend.

No Jolly this time around (weird, you'd think with Plumpy being back it'd cause a ha-loo, but maybe Jolly was the price for Plumpy) but instead these two bears!! I want to bring up the players/lore later, but apparently according to the listing they're Sweety and Soury, tho tbh I think they're names should be Gumm and Grumm. Other than that... um.. next character!

Nothing much to comment on Lolly since she's basically her OG design but with brown eyes and darker skin. But she's equally adorable, def has King Kandy (actually.. is that his name now?? With the ice cream theming? idk)

so i remembered that i love mr mint from candyland 80s design. and then i made him gay. oops.
