Fanart - Hey Arnold! - As Things Collide

ART

Fandom/Universe: Hey Arnold!
Character(s): Helga, Arnold









a/n: I put this up at DA as well.

Was watching HA! eps today and just... I missed them. And it's been like FOREVER since I've drawn Helga and Arnold being just... Helga and Arnold.

But really, as perfect as Arnold seems to be, there's also this undercurrent of intense sadness to him. I think a lot of his light is banking on his parent's being alive. He's looking on the bright side, because he can't bring himself to stop believing that they'll come back one day.

But sometimes even the heroes need saving.

I really missed drawing these guys. Helga/Arnold is still my most fav ship ever.

That's so cute. ^_^

(Also, Arnold has a very lemon-shaped head, doesn't he?)

Haha, yeah. Helga spends the whole series calling him Football-head (sometimes it comes off as mean and sometimes sort of endearing). He gets it from his mother, Stella.

Aww, poor Arnold. Whatever happened to his parents? I watched some of the show, but i have like NO recollection of what happened.

I love that Helga's sitting in his lap, she's fresh.

They had to leave him when a little after he turned one to go and save the Green-Eyed People from a terrible sleeping sickness. They were only supposed to be gone for a week or so, but then they never came back.

However, at the end of 'The Journal' Arnold finds a map of his parents route into San Lorenzo. The episode was supposed to lead into a movie in which Arnold wins a contest and wins his whole class a trip to San Lorenzo and he begins an epic search for his parents.

It's pretty much assumed that he'd find them alive and kicking, because it's a kids show and because Miles and Stella are too awesome to be dead. But there's no definite answer, because the show was cancelled (abruptly and for totally dickhead reasons).

She IS pretty fresh. But Arnold grows to like it, I'm sure. :3
