Love, tears and pigs

It's been a really long time since the last 'main story' renaissance strip, so here's some deep dive into Massimo (Maffeo's older brother) and Donatello's (Massimo's best friend who was supposed to marry Maffeo) relationship

The angst with these two is like *chef's kiss*. I love chidlhood best friends, unrequited love, being blinded by rage and unable to see the other's feelings, the cruel irony of Massimo frantically searching for Maffeo to make this wedding happen when all Donatello wishes for is to be with him ? Good shit, good shit

And a little Cosima dressed in savafid period clothing. Since she travels a lot I would really love to draw her in clothing from all over the world but finding references can be a real challenge.

And now for some 18th century cuteness to wash away the sad bois

Loosely based on Renoir's portrait of Julie Manet as brilliantly suggested by one of my friends.

It made me want to draw Eugénie and Godefroy more so I did those two doodles of them too.

I love my dumb girl and her pig, living her best life

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.

du sang et des homos

 I was craving some Knight AU content and it cames back gayer than ever. That one is obviously based on John Keats' 'La belle dame sans merci'

 Runaway Maffeo in the Knight AU, I just really wanted to draw those beautiful yet simple Medieval dresses.

 No homo just a king and his knight sitting in the garden smooching like bros do.

And then my hand slipped and I drew some fratricide, oops.

Pretty much like in canon, Maffeo's family is pretty crossed at him for running away from his duties, so in the Knight AU when he refuses to come back home, his father orders his brother Massimo to go kill him since he wants to play knight so bad. Drama ensue.

if my brother was here he would make you eat your teeth

It's Maffeo time ! Here is him pre-meeting Vieri, playing music at the Bordello after being taken in (maybe a year or so later)

That one moment where you get unwanted attention for the first time and the three stages of getting to terms with it (but never stop playing while you do)

and some more happy childhood time Maffeo, with best big bro Massimo !

 Based on 'the dizzy spell' by Emile Levy. Maffeo likes to run in the forest and you can so quickly twist your ankle when you're young and not looking down, luckily Massimo is there to get him back home safely (this must actually not be very long before Maffeo ran away, so Maffeo is 13 there).

Each time I draw scenes that showcase how close Massimo and Maffeo were I cry inside. Also based on 'the murder of the sons of Edward IV' by Theodor Hildebrandt.

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.

yes the bob cut is hereditary

I think I talked about Maffeo going to see his little brother in secret from time to time but I never actually drew it so, have some brotherly time.

Marino is such a cutie no matter the universe. He's a soft soul alright.

One day I'll draw what'll happen when Massimo catch Maffeo coming home in secret ;) For now enjoy the semi happy times

I am my own fandom 2: the AUning

I can't get enough of AUs so I brought back some lately

I just HAD to do a version of the Dragon Age AU with Lars & co just because Lars fits so much as a Qunari. Sami is ofc a dwarf and Carmelo is an Elf necromancer (more of a 'city' elf but he actually was brought up in an upper class family)(it's a long story that kind of takes inspiration from his actual backstory so I'm not gonna spoil too much)

Miguel in this AU is a pirate/mercenary from Rivain (which is, for the non DA nerds, a place which is close to the Qunari homelands, so there's a lot of exchange/crossing between them), and he actually met Lars waaay before Sami did (the world is all upside down).

This AU is basically the 'everyone wants Lars' AU, and with dem horns I can understand them.

I also wanted to bring back the Mafia AU and draw Marino in it because cute 20-30s children clothes ? Hello ? Look at this cutie pie wandering in places he shouldn't be.

I had talked a bit about Leonello (Vieri's dad) being the Don of the rival family, but I didn't draw it then. I picture him being the kind of Don who like, buy orphanages to launder money, but also it actually funds the orphanage and kids get to have better childhoods ? But he would also probably shoot someone in cold blood if there was good reason to.

Marsilio is just a painter being hit hard by the global post-WW1 crisis and struggling to make a buck. Leo just decided he likes him so now they're friend and Marsilio gets to eat more than once a day.

Also Leonello means I had to draw the Mafia AU version of that scene™

I like to imagine that the guy who shot him is nicknamed The Boar, as a throwback to the canon.

And I wanted to draw the big ass mafia funeral following it. Sorry folks.

playing with the boys the boyening

More ren folks stuff (mostly childhood edition)

open to unlock dark backstory
