It looks official!!!
I love the rare moments I pull this kind of things out. X3
I've learned a bunch in my art class and feel motivated by my teacher who loves Wonka as much as me. I needed someone in real life to talk to that shared the same obsession.
Thank you Mr. Flores, I dedicate this to you!

And oooh! Finally and update in the categories. Always found the whole cartoon/comics seccion a bit too general and confusing.
Sketched in pencil, inked with a fine tip and bold tip pens, but ran out of ink for the fine tip one so it really isn't finished. Wonka's face in the first panel is the only part I could finish.

This strip is based in a fanfic I'm writing called "Ask Wonka", although is still a tentative tittle, inspired by Greatest Journal's AskWonka account.

The story behind it.
My tesis of Loompa Land is that Wonka was the first and only person who found about it. I do believe it is in maps (In Wonka's verse of course, but the day I see an Oompa-shaped island I'd go berserk) it's only one of those tiny little island concidered deserted or simply left untouched to preserve it.
In that fragment of the story Wonka is at Charlie's school. So he simply shows him the little island and lets the boy figure it out on his own, rather than making a scene with the teacher about it like it happens in many fanfics I've read.
Of course, I'm not against them. We'll just say my view of 'written' Depp!Wonka is different in some ways. :P

YAY! :w00t: They found Loompa land! *shouts like Braveheart* FREEEEDOM! :giggle:

This is very... subtle. Although I would have liked it if you had used an older Wonka, (ie Wilder or book Wonka), this is still pretty good. Nice concept. Faved.

Oh, but I like Depp's version better. He's got so many things wrong with him that I love to figure out~

Wilder and book Wonka are both pretty much normal guys with wicked ideas, but this one, there's just something not completely "right" in there. And I just love figuring out people and understanding how they work.

And now that I see this again I find so many things wrong with that lineart. ^^;

That's wonderful! How unique. I do very much like both the art and the concept of how Charlie finds out about the island. I have to agree when you say it turned out well, because it really is magnificent! I like the style. Ooh! I just noticed, and thought to comment. The hands look perfectly natural in their positions, which is very well done indeed. Again, marvelous work!

Oh, I really, REALLY needed to read this. I've been feeling dreaful today so this cheered me up somewhat. Thank you for being insightful and commenting in something no one else seemed to notice. I tend to make the gestures with my own hands to get them right.
Welcome to DA. :]

Good lord, a wonka-obsessed art teacher.
Is that a real island that you randomly named Loompa Land, or you just made it up (probably the latter :D)

Loompa Land as an island? Never thought of that. Hmm, as long as it's an island somewhere in the congo, I can dig (so it fits into my whole Emela-ntouka/Hornswoggler theory)! XD

I love Willy's 'Mmmhmm' face. <3

Do you have a fic where I can know more about your theory?

chikajin Featured By Owner Feb 27, 2006  Hobbyist General Artist
Naw, no fic. It's just that the congo has so many weird, grumpy unknown animals (the *shudders* "living dinosaurs", if you will) that could be passed for the Oompa Loompas' monsters and I always felt Loompa Land had to be somewhere in Africa (gah, did that sentence even make sense?). I just like mixing truth/could be truth with fiction. Might doodle some picture soon, I'm just lazy. XD
