It has taken me far too long to colour and clean up this animation buuuuut it's done!! (for now)🧩
Trying to fit this around work and other projects was a nightmare but I will have more free time after Christmas to start animating more Layton stuff!! Plus add some needed backgrounds to this project and finish off the rest of the song ( I have it sketched out and roughed)
ALRIGHT SO. Experimental piece except it goes really well and turned out really good. Yeah that's basically this thang idk what happened but I'm really happy nonetheless!! This piece was inspired by. Guess what. No I'll let you guess. THAT'S RIGHT, ME RIDING THE BUS! Like the simple bitch I am <333
AU where 25-year-old Luke from the LMJ anime gets sent back in time and winds up in Future London. He has to subtly convince Layton and his younger self that he is the real Future Luke..
Either he keeps his identity a secret from Clive or he ends up arguing with Clive over who the real Future Luke is.
Older Luke: He’s the fake! Do you really think I’d still be wearing shorts and the same type of hat in my twenties?
Clive: Excuse me! Do YOU really think I’d wear the same outfit my father wore decades ago? And what even is that FEDORA HAT? It’s totally not my style—
Older Luke: I never had ‘style’! Mum bought all of our— I mean, MY— clothes! And now my wife—
Clive: Who exactly did I marry?
Older Luke: This amazing girl I met in America—
Clive: A likely story! He’s so obviously a fraud, Professor!
(Set in the middle of unwound future. Think that one official art with Clive holding the wrapped rose. Its Clive trying to teach Luke how to do that.)
[Image description: Clive is teaching Luke how to wrap a rose. Luke says "Thanks, Dad!" while smiling, then proceeds to realize that he just called what he knows to be his future self, his dad. Clive is looking at Luke while having A Moment™ because he has many parental issues, is entirely unprepared to be a father figure, and is about to try and level London. He says "ah". Clive then has an early life crisis while Luke hides behind his hat in embarrassment. End Description]
