A Little Late For When I Actually Made It, But This Sketch Represents My Love For This Heart-tinglin’

🇺🇸 MINDLESS - “And that is how you remove the brain. A-thank you.”
🇧🇷 MENTE-LESS - “E é assim que se remove o cérebro. Muito obrigado.” (Forçou na tradução, mas quem nunca, né, galera?)

🇺🇸 Badicature of a friend too. 🇧🇷 Baraticatura de um amigo de novo.

Craig, thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this cartoon, which has become my absolute favorite of your productions! It had me at first sight—or, well, watch—just like it happened with Hater and Dominator.

Wander Over Yonder has earned its place among my most beloved cartoons in no time and I can’t see many other shows surpassing it. Even though I really support the new focus that cartoons are taking today—deeper lore, emotionally captivating stories and characters, more realistic logic and character designs—, WOY stands out to me for being able to do emotions, character development and continuity while also bringing back that fun, laid-back, beautiful, all-over-the-place cartoony animation, pacing and all-around feel that I felt, admittedly, lacking in today’s shows (not that I hold that against them, as they weren’t trying to be what Wander is). Also worth mentioning the awesome and hilarious writing that left me smiling and laughing out loud alone for days, creeping out a lot of people around me.

You guys are the best, and I will always have fond memories of our favorite orange furry spoon fella, his trusty steed and best friend zbornak, the greatest electric skeleton man in the galaxy and his loyal and visionary right-hand man!

To you, sirs, a tip of my magical green hat.

Wander over Yonder over?

I’ve been seeing a lot of speculation lately on whether or not Wander will be returning for a 3rd season. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

About a year ago we presented a pitch for a season 3 arc that promised to bring our characters together in new, unexpected, and hilarious ways. And just as S2 evolved from S1, we had a really exciting approach to evolving S3 even further. We had plans for new characters, the return of old characters, and even a bit of backstory! We were all really excited about the new direction and so were our bosses at DisneyXD and TVA. 

Unfortunately, the higher up bosses of bosses of bosses at Disney decided not to continue with the show. It’s not that they didn’t like Wander, they just felt that 2 seasons and 80 cartoons was enough and they didn’t see the need to produce any more.

For the record, this decision had nothing to do with the ratings performance of S2. Truth be told, we were informed that we wouldn’t be continuing before S2 even premiered. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the fans who spread the word about Wander and encouraged people to try and watch it on air.

I know this news is kind of a bummer, but the recent surge in fandom from My Fair Hatey along with our win at the Annie’s for Outstanding Children’s Series has really made me and the whole Wander team feel that we are ending on a high note!

So thanks, and as Wander says…

We gave it a go,

put on a heck of a show,

and did a lot of fun stuff we’ll get to laugh about after!

And for those keeping track we have 7 half hours left of S2 that will wrap up sometime in June. Thanks for watchin’ and wanderin’!

🇺🇸 More random doodles. One day I was watching a thesis presentation in college with my class and one of my friends was barefoot. So there you go, realistic drawing training of that day. Plus a caricature of a teacher of mine. 🇧🇷 Mais rabiscos aleatórios. Um dia eu estava assistindo uma apresentação de TCC na faculdade com minha turma e um dos meus amigos estava descalço. Então aí está, o treinamento de desenho realista daquele dia. E uma caricatura de um professor. #sketch #esboço #doodle #rabisco #sketchbook #sketchbook4 #realisticdrawingtraining #realisticdrawing #figuredrawing #caricature #college #MmmMuitobomFezsozinho https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NIaT5J8Gl/?igshid=1tuvzjxvvr4fw

🇺🇸 Another design that kept popping up again and again with time. 🇧🇷 Outro design que ficou voltando de novo e de novo com o tempo. #sketchbook #sketchbook1 #sketch #rascunho #characterstudy #characterdesign #old #OC #originalcharacter #antigo #designdepersonagem #personagemoriginal #characterposing #cartooncharacter #personagemdecartoon #bigheadbigeyesbigheart https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RSj9FD4DE/?igshid=1k6cauq8sm9dr

@butchhartman I accidentally drew a weird little man handling a weird little wand!

Folks, if you like them wiggly lines and some good ol’ sarcastic fun times, please check out the Cartoon Lampoon Podcast (be bold), hosted by the rumblin’, mumblin’, troublesome trio, Seth, Lenny and Sagan!

Their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CartoonLampoonPodcast

P.S.: I took some poetic liberties with their bodies; plus, i don’t know why Seth is being British. Just seemed right, I guess.

P.P.S.: Yeah, I know I’m posting all of these on the 4th, get off my case, MOM!

🇺🇸 After years of clamoring from the fans, here is Mr. Name’s enigmatic origin story: I wanted a blank character to try out cartoon faces and poses. He came to life and now looms over all my sketches. And the rest is history! 🇧🇷 Depois de anos de clamor dos fãs aqui está a enigmática história de origem do Sr. Nome: Eu queria um personagem genérico para testar caras e poses de cartoon. Ele criou vida e agora orbita todos os meus rascunhos. E o resto é história! #sketchbook #sketch #MrName #originstory #oldbutgold #OC #OriginalCharacter #cartooncharacter #cartoon #cartoonfaces #cartoonposing #characterposing #meta #Ijustcanthelpwantingtotellastiry https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YNPm7Jr30/?igshid=bqpoia8zbzhj

🇺🇸 Hoping for a truly happy New Year. 🌠 Good grief, sorry for the weird coloring… I’ve a lot to learn with these colored charcoal pencils. But here’s to trying new things, I guess! 🥂 I also tried putting it in grayscale to see if it faired any better. Which do you guys prefer? 👀 🇧🇷 Esperando que realmente seja um feliz Ano Novo. 🌠 Que puxa, foi mal pelas cores meio estranhas… Ainda tenho muito que aprender com esses lápis de carvão coloridos. Mas um brinde a tentar coisas novas, né? 🥂 Também tentei colocar em escala de cinza pra ver se melhorava. Qual vocês preferem? 👀 . . . @snoopygrams @wildbrainstudios @nintendoamerica @nintendo_brasil . #sketch #rascunho #rascunhocolorido #coloredsketch #sketchbook #colorpencil #lapisdecor #lapisdecarvao #charcoalpencil #animalcrossing #peanuts #snoopy #charliebrown #mashup #happynewyear #newyearseve #newyears #vesperadeanonovo #anonovo #felizanonovo #reveillon #fanart #Happinessishopeforthefuture #Felicidadeéaesperançaparaofuturo https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4RPV3uBbs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🇺🇸 I don’t think he’ll mind me being late as long as I take his shift. 
🇧🇷 Não acho que ele vai se importar com o meu atraso contanto que eu cubra o turno dele.
