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 !

 

Oh no

I finally finished this Knight AU page from last september so. Enjoy aesthetic drama nonsense.

The kids are alright (mostly)

 Finally drew some modern AU for the renaissance folks, an it got mighty self-indulgent extremely fast don't look at me.

 Honestly I think I had just had my appointment to the endocrinologist confirmed to be at the end of April when I started this page, and it got me impatient because it seemed so far away, so I just decided fuck it I'm gonna draw Maffeo living his best life. But I also realized it's weirdly good to draw about subjects that are so close to me, even though it's scary as hell because y'all know how the internet can get.

 All friends are friends with benefits if you're hedonistic enough.

Aaand I'm gonna use the fact that I was finally able to scan those to post these older doodles. I didn't want to just post them on their own, and it's a 70s AU so it fits just right with a modern AU post.

 The idea behind the AU is that Marsilio, Leonello and Lucia are roommates in a shitty apartment during the 70s. So pretty much a sitcom level plot which makes me giggle.

And some cute Polaroids of their life together. Ofc Marsilio took the first one, and Leo the second (right before Marsilio probably smacked the camera out of his hands)

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.

PRIDE 2019

I actually did something pride themed this year so enjoy those doodles with not always so subtly hidden flag colors. Anyway be gay do crime and don't by from big corporation this month.

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.

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)
