Long post!
An 8-page zine I made about Tuffy and his family. He is a special little guy, I couldn't let him be alone out there!
This was super fun, I love getting to know my OC's through building their background story.
I'll bring the zine with me to Dokomi and other cons! It's also gonna come to the shop when all the plush Tuffys arrives :)
Who are Sam and Gab’s boyfriends??? I is VERY curious
Me if being silly with my friends' OCs was a job: 💰💰💰💰💰💰
Noc and Gab met while on the job and things got sillayyy 🤭 Noc thinks Gab is rly cool and inspiring and Gab just loves this teddy bear of a man
Hue is Sammy's roommate and bad influence akfhjsf He gets on Sam's nerves sometimes but he knows Hue just want him to have fun more. Oh and Cinder keeps those two in line lmaoo
Noc and Cin belongs to @sleepyeule, Hue belongs to @oriiduckko
“They walk by every day with their nose buried in those silly little papers. They don't even say hello! The nerve of them, ignoring me like that.” -Lucio, probably.
Not me grave digging the @/glimmerblossoms Aquarium AU from years and years ago. No siree. 😋
I ramble a bit under the cut.
Lucio's design is based on a Clearfin Lionfish, because I thought the transparent fins and flashy little white accents would be a nice callback to his ghostly form c: please excuse the fact that I literally never draw merpeople or fish /sob. This was such a struggle for me 😭
So, research institute that doubles as an aquarium AU!! It's stuck in my head, it's eating my brain. I plan to make a text post about the details at a later date, but the gist of it is: due to some experiment gone wrong (the fault lies with our dear scientist Dr. Asra Alnazar, whose obsessed with merfolk and their ability to cast magic) his research assistant, Velle, is slowly turning into a merperson and Asra is racing against the clock to find a cure for them.
Lucio is there recovering after the incident that caused his arm to need to be amputated. Since he knows his mother is currently out there trying to hunt him down and bring him to justice, well, he's not in any hurry to leave this convenient safe place where no one recognizes him as Montag Morgasson.
The merfolk at the aquarium are all there either as patients, or as researchers themselves. No one is in captivity here because that's just a bit too much angst for my poor little heart ^_^
