Sorry for not submitting anything in a while. A mixture of work, me not feeling well, and some personal issues have gotten in the way of my art. To make up for it, have a gander at my sketchbook, which is filled with an embarrassing amount of King Candy as a hideous, 15 foot bug monster because that design was amazing and is oddly inspiring.
...and some Sour Bill and some baby Cy-Bugs.
I also threw in the lineart of the fanart I did in November, because I really did like the pencilwork in that sketch and because there was a hidden baby cy-bug in the original drawing.
A lot of these are three minute exercise sketches so don't expect the anatomy to be solid. XD I kind of fudge his hands a lot.
It seems whenever I become a fan of something I usually end up drawing only one character out of the entire cast, and Wreck-it Ralph was no exception. I just loved that bug design so, so much that for some reason when I draw King Candy, he has to be a freak of nature. My personal headcanon is that, due to Turbo's leet hacking skills, he is now considered a part of the game and regenerates...as the Cy-Bug monster since the bug's now embedded in his code. This sounds like it would mean the end for Sugar Rush, but since there's no giant Cy-Bug swarm and President Vanellope anticipated that this would happen, there's defenses prepared for one singular bug monster and King Candy's forced into hiding. He also sort of recruited but mostly kidnapped Sour Bill because giant candy monsters get lonely. Now they lie in wait until the best possible moment to get back into the code room and reinstate King Candy as king of Sugar Rush and later the entire arcade, but mostly they're just minor annoyances that occasionally get beaten up by Duncan and Wynchell, who have received Hero's Duty training and can now take out a giant insect with just a baton and some tasers.
I'm obviously running on rule of funny with that possible idea (my other idea was some sort of glitchy scramble of Turbo, King Candy, and the Cy-Bug, but that's already been done by other people and I don't want to be an idea thief), but there's already plenty of people that can pull off the scary, intimidating Candybug better than I. MY Candybug's a giant psychotic doof with sharp teeth and homicidal tendencies he's trying to suppress (key word: trying; several sentient pieces of candy have already gone missing), if only because no king would devour his subjects. That's just unkingly.
These were drawn between November 6th and just a couple days ago, which would explain why some of the Candybugs look wonkier than others and change in styles.
The one right next to the big lineart actually has some fun backstory; it is actually my very first attempt at drawing King Candy as a Cy-Bug. It was after November 6th when I first saw the movie, and I was at work, gushing with other people that saw the movie. Then, the topic came up of "Hey, you're an artist, draw some Wreck-it Ralph fanart!". So, during my 15 minute break, I drew that King Candybug without any references (this was before people started posting screens of his form up, hence why it doesn't look right) and wrote "Be more specific next time" because I'm sure that's not what he had in mind when he asked for Wreck-it Ralph art.
Not much more to say about this, other than I need to seek some help if this is my favorite character from the movie.
Oh man this is awesome! I think aside from the large sketch on the top left the smaller sketch of him reading the book on insect anatomy cracks me up!^^ depending on the headcanon you have going here his response to what he finds in that book could be sooooo many different things. -dies- I know some people who draw him like this have a headcanon where the cybug which originally ate him was a Queen so in their version he has the ability to lay eggs. I just can't help but laugh myself to death at what his intital reaction to finding out he could do that would be.
Well at least the cybugs aren't based off mantises...otherwise the second he found a female cybug she'd chomp his head right off. XP Terrible way to go.
And Sour Bill's little comment if I'm reading that right about 'for starters you're too big to fit in the castle' is perfect. XD
Ha ha, that's why I left that sketch up for interpretation. XD Because, as you said, there's so many different things King Candy could learn and they'd all disgust him in different ways.
Yeah, I've seen that headcanon. My personal one is due to the fact that Turbo is one big fat virus, eating him pretty much destroyed both the egg-laying capability and the ability to absorb stuff, so King Candy's a neutered cy-bug lacking in most of the cool powers, say, some of the Hero's Duty bosses would get. Since it's all but confirmed in the movie that the same cy-bug that eats King Candy is the same one that hitched a ride with Ralph from Hero's Duty, I like to think that even if he can't lay eggs, King Candy would have a strong paternal attachment to baby cy-bugs.
But still thinking about how he'd react makes for some funny mental images. Same with the female cy-bug thing. (And King Candy swears an oath of chastity for his own sake)
And you read that right. My handwriting just sucks. XD
Poor guy....depending on what the draw backs are [aside from the whole...oooo pretty light -gets incinerated-] he'd probably start wishing he was his older self and that being a cybug wasn't worth it. XD I wonder if he has an inbred fear of flyswatters.....hmmmmm...-shot-
I had to do that I'm sorry. XD
Neutered cybug....wow....XD Did not think it was possible to neuter a bug! -shot again- Alright I'll behave myself. XDDD
That is a pretty neat headcanon. Though I thought cybugs themselves were viruses? Then again certain viruses don't mess too well together and can sometimes burn one another out. Turbo would probably be a stronger virus than the programmed one of the cybugs so it does make sense. Especially in the knowledge that with the two viruses clashing into one being it would remove a lot of the fancy abilities but who's to say it wouldn't create some nifty [and horrific] new ones?^^
Well even if he can't lay eggs the cybug programming would probably dictate he needs to protect his hive, his brood...so the paternal attachment to baby cybugs is both adorable, scary, and awesome.^^
Oh god what if female cybugs were like mantis?! Yeah I don't blame him for not wanting to find out XD
Nah your handwriting doesn't suck, you should see mine...looks like the stereotypical doctor hand writing XDDD
King Candy gets to the part about the spiracles, the tracheal system, and the pheromone communication and just throws his hands up in the air and gives up...
He looks INCREDIBLE in your style!
