Description
While in Fix-It-Felix jr. 2013 Vanellope overhears the new Felix, Junior for short, hatching a plot not only to steal the original's hammer but to bring down the entire 8-bit game! She runs to Ralph explaining the danger Felix is in from his vendetta holding double. They grab Calhoun, explaining the situation to her on the way to find Felix.When they tell him what's going on he simply can't believe that a Fix-It could be anything but the soul of honor and is certain that they are simply overreacting or that possibly Vanellope misunderstood what she heard.
"Now, Little Missy." Felix shook a scolding finger at the little racer. "He would never do a thing like that."
Vanellope's dark eyebrows came together and her hands balled into fists. "I KNOW what I heard!"
"I'm sure you heard SOMETHING. But a Fix-It is the soul of honor. It's in our code to fix things not break things."
"Listen to the kid, Fix-It." Calhoun instisted. "The guy's a slimeball."
"Come on, Felix." Ralph gestured with his two giant hands. "We all know there's something wrong with the guy. Why can't you see it?"
The little handyman frowned and shoved both hands on his hips. "Frankly, I am downright riled at this uncouth and unaccommodating behavior. Now I am aware that my brother hasnβt exactly taken a shine to me but that is no justification for these cockeyed accusations. These folks were just plugged in. They need our support not our suspicion. I really thought you all were better than that.β

And this is about as mad as Felix can possibly get. And he feels terrible about it later. To anyone else it was just a mild scolding, but to Felix he feels he, heaven forbid, lost his temper!

Here's a little more backstory:
When Mr. Litwack announces that he is getting a brand new 1213 versian of Fix-It-Felix jr. Felix is beside himself. He just can't wait to meet the new characters he considers 'kin'.
But despite the arcade owner's overheard promise to keep the 'retro' game as well, many of the other Nicelanders are concerned about being shown up.
And the new game is indeed impressive. Niceland is no longer one apartment building. It's an entire city with slums, suburbs, a business district and even a bridge. And detail is everywhere, from random trash on the street to the seams on characters clothes.
Many more characters are involved as well. A second player has been added for the female gamers, a sister to Felix named 'Construction-Kate'. And Felix's father has been added as a non-playable character who can give information and new tools to the player. Ralph, too, has been given a family. Much like Bowser's kids in Mario, Ralph's wife and kids do his bidding in wrecking the city.
But it isn't a hunky dory, happy-go-lucky world like the Ralph and Felix we know have created. After the arcade closes Felix 2013 is no longer the good guy who's only out to help people. He is very much the boss of his game and with his sister by his side keeps tabs on the whole city.
Of course, our quartet of a welcome party doesn't know this when they show up at the new game with friendly greetings.
Felix is shocked to see his dad, a man he has never really seen but is programmed to miss dearly. His backstory has always told him that his father gave him his hammer on his deathbed. So to see him now...even a new versian of him get's the handyman a little choked up. The old man is quite happy to invite him into the family, as his other boy hasn't exactly lived up to the moral code set out for him.
The new Felix doesn't take this well. For one thing he simply can't stand that there is an 'outdated' and clearly inferior versian of himself. And what makes it worse HIS father seems to like him. And that hammer! In the new game the golden hammer is the prize for winning the game and is locked up in the game's code and is only released if someone wins. That this old, dinosaur of a character that has the audacity to impersonate him just carries that hammer around drives him nuts.
So. Why not kill two birds with one stone? He reasons. Get rid of that embarassment of a game AND get that hammer at the same time.
Ralph and Sgt. Calhoun get a bit suspicious early on. But Felix just can't believe that his new 'family' could possibly do him harm.
He was wrong.

I like the way you faded out the floor pattern in between Felix and the others, emphasizing the current disconnect.

You did quite well on this drawing visually. I should probably mention that I really appreciate how good you are getting little details like Ralph's shirt pattern to look right in your artworks - the pattern looks like it would be a bit confusing to depict properly, with the different shades of orange needing to be arranged just so, and the green lines needing to run along just the right places. Not to mention the work it must've taken to make Calhoun's body armor... I like the way Felix looks here especially, and the swirl you put into Vanellope's ponytail was a nice touch.
The dispute here is very in-character. It looks like you had a little fun with Felix's use of countryisms, and I think you put the emphasis on just the words he would. I also thinks it's interesting how you depicted a misty divider between Felix and his friends instead of just leaving the entirety of the brick floor visible - as one could easily interpret this as an additional symbolic representation of how their argument divides them.
Ralph and Calhoun look none-too-pleased with the way things are going, and Vanellope's pleading gestures and softer expression really show how she just wishes Felix would believe her. I can see an undertone of indignation in Felix's stance, but you did a really good job showing that this argument was not to an outright fiery degree. As much as Felix could strongly disagree with his friends, he would never have an argument with them that displayed the degree of anger that another character might - he's much too peaceful a soul for that.
Something else I noticed though, is that if you follow all of Felix's friends line of sight, they are looking right at his face, whereas Felix's line of sight isn't directed at any of his friend's faces - but through them as a whole. This could symbolize how Felix's friends really do understand his perspective, but Felix doesn't understand theirs. They know he likes to believe the best of others, but here he isn't trusting their ability to do the same and to discern when someone really is up to no good. So really, Felix isn't seeing eye to eye with his friends... both literally and figuratively here. You can see that Ralph and Calhoun have fallen silent and are feeling a bit defensive at his mistrust, whereas Vanellope is still just struggling to find the words to make him understand; to make him trust them... but Felix has already made up his mind. There's really a lot of depth to this artwork. Really very well done.
One thing I'm curious about though, is that a pivotal point of the argument seems to rest on Felix wanting to believe the best of the Fix-It-Felix Jr. 2013 citizens, and he feels that his friends are being too suspicious... but we know from the "Sour Milk Dud" artwork that Crash was also with Vanellope when she overheard New Felix plotting. If Crash was here to help make their case - being a citizen of the new game - it might get Felix to consider the validity of what his friends are saying because it would be more about New Felix as an individual, and less about the new game's citizens as a whole. Was Crash not able to go with Vanellope for some reason? Or is he simply not visible in the artwork?

It is almost impossible for Felix to get truly furious with his friends. This is probably as mad as we will ever see him.
I don't think it would matter that much if Crash was there or not. He is convinced his brother and sister wouldn't possibly want to hurt him. So the children must have misunderstood something.

ShimmeringDewdrops In reply to chill13 [2016-12-10 05:51:40 +0000 UTC]
Well, Crash is a part of New Felix's game though, so wouldn't it give our Felix possibly just a little bit of a pause if he knew Vanellope and someone who knew New Felix longer than himself might think that they heard something - even if he believes it's not as bad as they think it is, he might want to ask New Felix about it - if only to clear up what he perceives to be a misunderstanding. Was the New Wreck-it Ralph game in another arcade, and then moved to Litwack's, or was it brand new and started up for the first time there (in which case there wouldn't be much time for the characters in it to get to know New Felix better than the 8-bit Wreck-it residents).
Does Felix go to see New Felix right after this confrontation at it is? Maybe to figure out what it was he was saying that Vanellope overheard, with the intention of telling his friends what it really was all about in the hopes that they'll drop their suspicions?

chill13 In reply to ShimmeringDewdrops [2016-12-10 05:57:02 +0000 UTC]
Yes. That is exactly where he goes after this. He is certain there is some kind of misunderstanding because nobody can be that bad. Surely they simply doesn't hear right or didn't remember all the pertinent information. He would have to talk to his brother to clear everything up.
Which is of course the worst move he could have made.

I've got to say I love your art style. I like how still managed to captured the standard Disney style which is extremely difficult to achieve.
I have to know, was this story ever written? The characters are strong and fun. I love the character development of Felix as we can see another side of him with the 2013 Felix. The introduction of Felix's family as support characters is genius, I like how you explain their inclusion in the context of the game which is important and also interesting. I think the idea that the magic hammer is a reward at the end of the game is a great way to create conflict between Felix and Junior. I wonder if Felix Sr. refusal to give it to Junior for being selfish isn't an added point of contention.
I'd actually like to play Fix-it-Felix Jr. 2013, but for the time being I'm going to call it: "Fix-it-Felix Jr.- Ralph's Revenge".
I hope that you write it soon. Looking forward to it!

Thanks so much! I love Disney's style. It's so fun to work with.
No I haven't actually written this story yet. I'm not sure if I will get around to it or not. But I'm having fun with these pictures and chunks of plot.
I really wanted to give Felix parents but they didn't seem like the kind of characters that would be players, but I couldn't put them in the game with no purpose. I have to admit I was happy with Mother's pie idea.
Yes! The fact that Fix-It Sr. clearly doesn't think Junior is living up to his 'nice guy' code, and how quickly he takes to Felix is certainly a hot spot. Junior has no respect for his father but he also doesn't like him paying attention to someone else. ESPECIALLY an 'infirior' version of him. He really isn't much more than a spoiled kid.
'Ralph's Revenge', I like that. Great game title!!!

Skele In reply to chill13 [2013-05-04 04:36:07 +0000 UTC]
Well I'll defiantly be following eagerly to see anymore pictures and chunks of plot.
I like that you can visualize the parents in their respective shops in the Niceland over-world map, giving Felix and Katie upgrades for tools. I love the concept because it works for a game, which is integral to keep it in the same universe of the film. That's why I'd love to see the story because it blends so well, I'd almost be disappointed if this wasn't "Wreck-it-Ralph 2."
The other amazing thing you've managed is to parallel current game trends to revitalize characters in a new fashion. When you compare this to any Nintendo sequel it's genius that you drew those parallels.
I'm glad you like 'Ralph's Revenge.' I think it's a title that a game company would use. It sets this game up as a sequel to the first without making it a direct sequel, like "Super Mario Sunshine."
I'd love to see more art of Construct-it-Katie if you're going to do more story chunks. I find her addition as a player two so intriguing. What is her character and motivations? Is she a Luigi character who's sick of Felix's shadow? Or is she only following Junior because she's the player 2?
Watching eagerly!

Hmmm . . . . interesting idea, and I could see Felix being sweet and optimistic about the new characters. But I'm not sure if Ralph would buy into having a new family just given to him like that. If the movie proved anything, he's the kind of guy that will fight to control his fate.

I would agree with that. And he is pretty wary at first. But when there are two little kids that think he's the best thing since sliced bread. I mean he's the ORIGINAL Wreck-It-Ralph, how cool is that?? He warms up to them pretty quickly.

Hero worship never hurt to create a strong bond. Especially if the hero worship is for a guy who until recently has been treated like junk all his life. But the wife would still take a lot of getting used to. And what about the new Ralph?
