Hi! I love your magical boy Wander AU so much! Mind if I do a screenshot redraw based on your design? I want to ask you first! ^.^

go ahead and do it! ♥ (i'm so honored to have a fan of the au already :] )

wander....but he's a magical boy!!! (AU)

these are all drawings for my new au where wander becomes a magical boy :] keep reading below to know what it's all about, and I'll explain a bit of what you see above!

Story

(I actually don't have a lot of lore planned for this so bear with me if something doesn't make sense 😔)

Early on into his journeys through galaxies (like say maybe a few years after his big traumatic incident), Wander follows a shooting star to where it falls. Upon coming close to it, he's temporarily blinded by its strong flash of light. When he wakes up again, he realizes everything about him is.... different.

Soon enough, Wander realizes he has powers now, so he does what does best— help others out! Now with a cute fit on :]

What Would Wander Do.....In Battle?

Here's a quick segment to explain how Wander acts in battle! Because as you might know, some magical girls actively throw hands with their monster of the week. What would Wander do if he's a pacifist? The answer is that he's great at defending himself against attacks and strictly does purification attacks that don't hurt the enemy, they just cleanse the enemy of evil. Though, most of the time these purifications are more for like monsters of the week because the villains in control tend to just flee when Wander starts pulling out his banjo. (If you're familiar with Precure, you'd know this is literally just how the Wonderful team "fights".) On the topic of the banjo, you might have seen that alt text i put on the picture of it. The banjo can be turned into the staff you see there, used for the aforementioned purification attacks. Think of how he used the banjo against Screwball in "The Boy Wander". Those are basically his powers.

On the topic of Screwball, this all gets thrown out the window when it comes to him, though. Expect Wander to try and actively attack this guy.

Development

a while back, one of my favorite artists in the WOY community made a wander au, and I was like, "holy moly.....i wanna make a wander au too!!" so since may, I've been designing a magical boy outfit for wander! as I researched and referenced for the design, I was genuinely this close to just putting the guy in a cute skirt (we've seen him rock feminine outfits before, i wouldn't turn down the idea). the challenge of designing a magical boy outfit was entertaining, though, so I stuck to it. after a LOOOOT of trial and error, i finally landed on the one you see now, and i'm pretty satisfied with it (trying to design things around this guy's proportions is NUTS).

like always, i yapped what i needed to yap (I think)!! if you have any questions about the au feel free to ask me. i would have LOVED to shove every little detail in here but I think the post is already long enough as is, so yeah I hope you liked this concept for my AU :]

Spotlight on Justin Nichols

The other board artist on The Greater Hater Pt 1 was Justin Nichols. Last year Justin won the Annie Award for Individual Achievement in Character Animation for Television, for his work on, “The Party Animal.” And it was well deserved!

This is only a tiny part of what he did. He animated the entire dance. All of it. And this animation was done while STORYBOARDING THE EPISODE. No extra time was given. He just did it! 

He worked his same magic on the Greater Hater. 

And by the way, storyboards aren’t usually DRAWN this nice, let alone animated!

His full brilliance as a storyteller will be on display in, “The Breakfast,”which he boarded, airing with The Big Day (boarded by me!) Monday at 9PM on XD. Don’t miss it!

this is just for the few followers I have but here's a sort of sneak peek comparison of like one of my earliest wander drawings compared to the latest

oh god i forgot how bad the cure wonderful drawing was 😭 literally anything but "WANDERful" oh my god

[kaorucup]

this week I was drawing wander a lot for reasons that will be posted soon, and I feel like I've gotten better at drawing him. he's got a simple design but it's one you really gotta learn to get right. I've been drawing this guy pretty consistently for like a year now and I'm seeing a bit of improvement :] (although compared to some of my favorite woy artists I still have a long way to go)

How are we feeling ever after high nation

[kaorucup]

i actually love woy shitposting so much. it's always incredibly in character and it's just funny to see the characters do crazy things because they already do that in universe

hey guys. if these were ever posted onto the woy subreddit, would they do numbers

I’d be surprised if this wasn’t done before

sylvia we need to cook.....

(this explains wander's 420 personalities)

I am not finishing this so im sending it here

[kaorucup]

who the fuck was cooking so hard when they were composing ever after high's music like.

i'm not even talking about the intros anymore, who was composing the background music like??? it eats so hard??? when can I get it on spotify pls I really really need it, especially the spring unsprung soundtrack OH MY GOD it eats so hard you don't even get it.

[kaorucup]

i don't like labubus but if they just made marketable watchdog keychains where they use silly outfits like this I'd get one immediately. plus people outside of the woy fandom don't really care for the watchdogs so i think no one would scalp these

[kaorucup]

A thing that i spent too much time on. It was definitely worth it tho.
