🦂The Apple Trend, but with BlitzNut

Wheelie taught Gnaw a new trick

[ilmeshka]

🦂The species that Gantu represents (I don't know the name of his species) is somehow associated with northern peoples such as the Sakha (Yakuts), Nenets, Chukchi, and other peoples of Siberia and the Far East

🦂One day, I will find some free time and draw a national costume of Gantu's species inspired by the northern peoples

[ilmeshka]

🦂I found a meme on Pinterest that reminded me of Gantu and Ilem -p

[ilmeshka]

🦂I recently rewatched Lilo & Stitch and noticed that Gantu's eyes were purple-blue in the first full-length cartoon, while they were pure blue in other L&S projects. Thanks to my friend, I have a headcanon that Gantu's eyes change depending on the lighting. They are blue during the day and purple-blue in the evening and at night

🦂It's hard to be a Gantu fan, let alone a selfshipper

"Captain Gantu, take him away." "With pleasure."

[Grand Councilwoman and] Gantu - Lilo and Stitch (2002)

In Loving memory of Gantu

For the record, besides modern Disney execs being the ones who effectively call the shots on story in their films despite being hacks, I'm not unconvinced that the reason they didn't want to do Gantu in the remake is because Gantu is huge and that would be too much for the budget.

Still, it sucks that they axed Gantu and gutted Jumba as a result...

Honestly, Gantu had it goin on.

He was a bad cop who was called out and fired for being a bad cop.

He then was a lacky for a criminal basically as revenge before turning on said criminal when he remembered what he's actually about. Then, when given his position back by the Grand Council Woman, he accepts on the condition that his stoner Rob Paulson friend whom he abandoned on Earth be there to keep him in check:

Everyone talks about Anastasia Tremaine and Iago in terms of 'Disney villains who did a character development' and got 'reformed' into good guys, but no one mentions Gantu enough and you should be ashamed.

Currently on a quest to find that one Disney Adventure magazine comic where he was at a barbecue with the other main leads in a Hawaiian shirt just hangin out. I know it happened. I saw it. It existed. Don't gaslight me and tell me it didn't happen...

🦂I took Feltno with me so that I wouldn't feel anxious during my diploma defense

[ilmeshka]

🦂It's called watching Shrek, and then redrawing the scene where the Dragon catches the bride's bouquet and gives it to the Donkey, but it's fem!Gantu and male!Ilema

[ilmeshka]

Some of the guys

[ilmeshka]

Lemme just exaggerate how things went for the bit

[ilmeshka]

🦂Fem!Gantu/Male!Ilema

🦂It looks strange, but I just decided to draw it for myself, because at the time I was preparing for my thesis defense, and I needed to distract myself from bad thoughts

🦂Fortunately, I defended my diploma (studied to be a designer) -p

[ilmeshka]

🦂I have completed my diploma. Now I am free

🦂Here's a sketch with a semi-render of Victory (Lugnut and Blitzwing's daughter)

[ilmeshka]

💜Hello everyone I decided to make a quick sketch with Victory

💚I drew a Victory to the Sabaton song "Night Witches", as this particular song is associated with her
