We are family ~

Sometimes you just gotta draw a family tree for your OC because you just have too many dang links in between them.

No but seriously this was a fun exercise, and now I really want to explore more of the family I had to design for this lol

And the portraits on their own because it's fun !

 

Yet another challenger enters the arena

Long time no Renaissance folks 'comic', this time we're dipping our feet into some hot hot realisations about Luca, but not too much.

Honestly this whole thing is just a teaser and I'm sorry, one day I'll actually go into detail about what happened.

mythological monsters are just furries for cowards

 Of course even in the Mythos AU Vieri is not too happy to be sharing his home with Luca. And yes this is totally a 'Vieri let him sit on the chair he's injured' and Vieri being a petty bitch because it's HIS chair and he now has a mighty need to be sitting.

And some drama because you know I can never get enough. Ofc if you didn't understand it by Luca's reaction to Marsilio in the little two page comic of the mythos AU, humans are pretty scared of monster and you know what happens when humans are scared.

 Speaking of scared humans, there's basically two choices for monsters: staying pacific and far from humans, or terrorizing them so they leave you alone. When Emilio got turned into a gorgon he ran with option two, hence why HE doesn't come back looking like a porcupine when venturing outside (stone-turning gaze helps with this too tbh).

Well he was also feeling vengeful as fuck, but that's a detail.

And some baby cow Marsilio hanging out with Leo, who's most likely gushing about his mermaid gf.

do mythological monsters count as furries

 I suddenly felt like doing more of the Mythos AU because greek mythology is fun and this AU makes no sense at all, which I love

 Also Emilio is much sassier with Marsilio in this AU, they kind of dance around each other a bit more aggressively than in the canon, and I love that too. It's a bit of a 'do you really want to kiss me or are you going to bite me' relationship if you will.

Now, asking the real questions:

 Marsilio sees anyone under 25 as a baby pretty much.

 Baby Luca in this AU is a simple human shepherd, because all mythology stories need a human to balance out the weird shit.

Which also mean I want to torture him even more than normally, hence why this happened:

 Luca is that kind of shepherd who goes back to save the one sheepy who got lost. Except that it's not always a good idea.

This actually turned into a 'how Luca met everyone in the Mythos AU' mini comic, but it's more like two out-of-context pages than anything.

 tfw you're just a simple boy and you suddenly see a tons of the monsters your grandma told you about.

Then Luca gets to stay there until his leg heals (which will take actual months so Vieri better get used to this human and his sheep stealing his bed) and makes friends with all the monsters (except Vieri, who of course hates him with a burning passion for no other reasons than misplaced jealousy and fear of being replaced, like in canon)

and that's how Luca got involved with all these monsters shenanigans.

Yep, still my own fandom

I wanted to do some more AUs so I asked instagram and they delivered (I might do some more because there were A LOT)

Cute that in his fantasies Joaquin is taller than Amabel (Joa totally gets dragged on a crazy dangerous adventure in this AU)(also you bet your ass the baby is also there, he's just waiting in the car)

Lars with a ponytail I very important, Miguel agrees.

The closest to a modern AU we're getting I think. I gotta say I had this image in my head for a LONG time, and you can bet your ass they meet again at one of Marsilio's gallery opening for extra awkward points.

 Emilio totally is the femme fatale he doesn't care about your gender roles.

That's just free suffering for you bUT it was actually asked so. I'm not to blame.

 The little spots on Maffeo's pants are actually glittery, because you can't do late seventies/early eighties without sequins and glitters

everyone when thinking of 20s AU: flapper girls, cute bobs, classy speakeasies, big parties

me: vintage prison mugshots

Someone suggested a model AU where Amabel specifically is a leg model and I approve (Joaquin does too)

Gay mythological monsters and dumb looking boys with fruits

I realized I never posted the sticker designs I made for both of my original characters sticker sets, which is a shame because I made a few bonus pics of the Mythos one

Next set featuring the Renaissance folks should be themed around greek gods ! But I might do something not Ren folks themed in between, just to break it up a bit.

monkey business

I was lacking Cosima content compared to the amount of doodles of the boys and that was unacceptable

Cosima never misses the boys on her travels because the monkeys act the same.

I often talk about Cosima being pressured into marriage and this strip was in my head since pretty much her introduction. Tfw you're scared your only daughter might be in love with good-for-nothing jobless boys

And some baby Cosima content. Her and Vieri have actually known each other for a while now, tho their relationship slightly changes (and by that I mean that Vieri went through puberty and stopped thinking girls were icky. Cosima still will chokehold him)

and some AU's on a non-Cosima specific note

Kingsman AU, because the idea seemed fun and I wanted to draw Italian dogs. Cosima's dog is a Bergamoso Shepherd, Vieri's a Bracco Italiano, Maffeo's a Cane Croso and Luca's an Italian Greyhound, and they're all good boy. 

I like to imagine that Cosima is the one who wins.

And because I re-read Sugar Sugar Rune (if you only ever watched the anime and liked it please pLEASE read the manga ! The manga is like a more condensed, less-filler episode filled, more serious but still charming version of it) I wanted to draw my characters in the universe, which means they needed more Universe appropriate names.

So in this AU Vieri is called Gingembre (Ginger)(pun intended), Maffeo Éclair (which is both the name of a french pastry and the name for lightning), Emilio Meringue (because he's sweet) & Marsilio Réglisse (licorice)(pretty self-explanatory 

And Lucia (named Dulce in the AU) & Maffeo's mom (named Macaron), who were the two queen candidates (Dulce won)

valentines, but make it gay

As much as I loathe Valentine's day as a commercial holiday, you know what I like ?

Drawing my characters being mushy in the name of celebrating love. 

So I asked peeps over on instagram to suggest cute couple things for my OC to do, and boy do the people delivered.

Suggestion #1: Miguel and Lars at pride. How fucking CUTE it that idea. 10/10

Suggestion #2: the western trio doing some target practice. More like pretending to refine revolver skills as an excuse to get waaaay too close (Georgie is the only one being serious about it)

Suggestion #3: Pia & Lucia bathing. Which, once more, hello ? Yes I stan. 

Suggestion #4: Gladiator AU Emilio teaching Marsilio how to sword fight (and a little more). There's just no way to draw people wrestling without it looking horny.

Suggestion #5: Luca giving Cosima flowers, feat. Vieri ready to kill a man.

Suggestion #6: Miguel & Lars having a pizza date. Yes you'll see that I was in a big Miguel/Lars mood while doing these

Suggestion #7 & #8: Gracília doing Carina's makeup and Vieri's dad teaching Marsilio how to kiss, because you take what you can when you have a crush.

Suggestion #9: Miguel and Lars sleeping together (+morning smooches).

Suggestion #10: Gracília & Carina making a love spell/potion. Gracília is mostly assisting here but someone's gotta hold the pot.

Suggestion #11: Lars & Samira's first valentine's day. You bet your ass Sami is the one doing the gifting here, she's just giving him a smooch first.

Suggestion #12: Maffeo, Vieri & Cosima going for a night swim. Cheating a bit here because Cosima is not in couple with those two but hey, Valentines is also about loving your friends.

Suggestion #13: Miguel wearing Lars' clothes. He's probably calling him out on how he only owns plain t-shirt but Lars is not listening.

Suggestion #14: Marsilio & Emilio sleeping together (or trying to)

Suggestion #15: the western trio exchanging some smooches.

That was your daily dose of sugar and love.

Vieri no

Somebody save Luca

and some bonus random doodles of Cosima because I don't draw her enough
