@@nathanlongs how to make this feel like cookie run but isn't cookie run I mean this world wasn't created but born natural by its magics of it's realm aka candland like how the wonderland or fairytale world or toyland, etc. because humans can exist in this world and the dessert races like jib to cookie has actually name and not just jib cookie because like it's movie makes feel special
@@SaiacDraws thank you so much! That was so intentional, shortly before starting this video I had just watched the boy and the heron by Miyazaki, so a lot of those old women were very influential when I was drawing grannma nut 🤍✨
The first Candy Land design of Princess Lolly & Queen Frostine were my favorite candy characters & their design is just gorgeous. Grandma Nutt looks nice, her very first design including her house looked great, Plumpy looks perfect as he is. Princess Lolly in letter A looks cute but it gives our MLP EQG and spaghetti dolls, don't get me wrong it does look cute, but maybe for for Pinkie Pie's fashion. Now it makes me want to make up my own Candy characters based from the board game. Now all that's left is Jolly, Gloppy, & King Kandy. See you on the next Candyland Characters.
I mean, personally. Always been fond of fairies, so that's a win in my book. Though the scary god mother inspiration to have the gannyNut pouring chocolate on the peanuts is pretty cute
@@darkmatterbuildrplays 0h 100% as the youngest child for 14 years, I know what it is like to be a little girl in a tutu being made fun of by the bullies at large! I especially loved the vampires and bugaboo
GO DOGS GO MENTION!! that book captivated me a LOT as a child and i think the impossible architecture was a huge part of it. when my mom would read it to me we would stop on each page and look at everything in detail, because that's how i liked to do it lol
FWIW, my bank gave us lollipops as kids so that legit happened, lol. I'm so happy you made another Candyland video. I had a very long day at work and hearing your bright, excited voice along with watching your whimsical redesigns come to life really lifted my spirit. Thank you so much.
Omg I also watched Scary Godmother's Halloween Spooktacular growing up! It makes me so happy to hear someone else who liked the whimsy of it - most people I know both didn't grow up with it and don't like the visual style but it's so fun!
I really like the way the lollipop forest and also the gumdrops look after the final fancy-up-ing - you've GOTTA have some secrets for adding texture to things, right?? Someday, I'd love to see the secrets in action, tutorial style! I am also very appreciative of the Scandinavian Piscines, since we had a bag of super-old, super-dry ones in a class in my elementary school, and it was a tradition to throw one at someone who was talking too much/loud to shut them up and shout "SWEDISH FISH" to interrupt them as it was in the air LOL
@@cjschnyder legit I was in such a fugue state; because, I recorded this entire video in one take, and boy, oh boy did I enjoy not thinking when all was said and done.
My bank always gave me lollipops, even when my mom when through the drive-through ATM. Also I love how you did Princess Lolly!! Her dress is so cute!!!
as much as you didn't like drawing/painting the lolipop forest, i gotta say i am in love with what you did. You always make the background so detailed in a way that just grabs me and makes me want to know more about the worlds you paint. Plus the character designs are just lovely, you use such fun shapes and it has so much personality in them. Personally i never grew with candyland so i don't have nostalgia for it, but it's super cool to see how you draw it and developt ideas(also it helps me enjoy the art process again, because sometimes drawing is so much thinking that one goes a bit tired haha)
DUDE I LOVE SCARY GODMOTHER SO MUCH!! Favorite childhood Halloween media by far. Another awesome video! You totally did pulled off the jelly bean river with the Swedish fish, that whole scene is definitely my favorite of the video. Great work Nathan!! Would love to see Gloppy and Jolly the Dino if you were up for a third!
Grandma nut was my favorite! I just loved the peanutbutter cup idea! I think doing 3 more would be a lot of fun. idk if you have done this before but it'd be interesting to see you redesign Magic the Gathering cards.
@@hannahh7903 unlike magic the gathering, I actually know A LOT about tarot, I did a drawfee tarot video, but it would be fun to reinterpret the Rider-Waite cards
@@Alexalicious that’s amazing! The Candyland video game is so mysterious to me, I’ve really only interact with the concept through these videos. I had to include the gingerbread plum trees because that image is just so great. Thank you for sharing!
okay so...apparently in Candyland lore: King Candy (Kandy? idk) is Married to Queen frostine (one version changed it to where she was his daughter and Princess Lolly's older sister and her name was princess Frostine but the 2021 release changed Frostine back to King Candy's wife...idk why they changed it to daughter) and princess Lolly is their child (again, in the version where Frostine was made into King Candy's daughter she is Lolly's older sister) so...yeah...also I have no idea how a (presumably human) and a mermaid would have a fairy as a child but they did...and I'm not questioning it since its fantasy
8:30 - yooo, I was actually THINKING OF THAT right before you said it!! It's definitely real, I was JUST old enough to get those as they were going out of fashion!! My sister would be given them too, but my parents said she was too young for em, or she was really picky about flavors or smth, so I usually got to have both. :3 Every family has the designated 'trash disposal' child XD They would sometimes have loops for sticks instead of straight sticks, cuz maybe that was more child-friendly?? IDK. They definitely felt very UNfriendly with the way they would always give me bleeding cuts on my tongue from the friggin sharp edges of air bubbles... You have to be SO careful eating lollies, they're more trouble than they're worth imo. That was circa 2001, so if you're a younger Millennial, you might have missed the era
