I’m putting the rest under the more sign because there’s kinda? S2 spoilers in here? BUT ALSO NOT EXACTLY? IT’S A BIG CANON DIVERGENCE/AU BUT I WANNA BE SAFE.
I apologize for how messy and unorganized some of these doodles will get btw. Also for my handwriting. I had an ADHD induced fever dream one day and woke up to all of THIS mess.
ALSO SOME DISCLAIMERS PLEASE READ:
1. There is some blood below, nothing insanely graphic but jsyk.
2. There will be a doc attached to this post that goes VERY in depth about the story connected here. The images are included on that as well to make following along a bit easier. You don’t have to read it, but you will def get more context lol.
3. There is not a lot of Leosagi or Rise stuff in general here! There’s some mild things in the doc abt them, but most of this is about Yuichi/Miyamoto Usagi bc I love him, yet also love to traumatize him. Sorry king <3. AAAAND it’s a set up to something I have planned in the future that WILL be very leosagi/rise heavy.
4. Welcome to the insanity that is my brain. I apologize now.
Okay, I gotta post this b4 I overthink it too much.
OH! And here’s the doc that explains way too much: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T99uGllPu08Unbq344KZu29Fbk2NjNN8Jz9ckmpa_lM/edit
Have been redesign usagi yojimbo characters to be in srtuc(more specificaly for my au)and here’s my favorite girl Tomoe Ame!!
She is working as a personal bodyguard for Lord Daiki(a descendent of Lord Noriyuki)and due to her job meets Yuichi and the gang when her Lord and Lord Kogane get togheter for a annual meeting with other politicians and Lords in the area(Kogane wanted to impress the others and used Usagi cuz the whole stopping an alien invasion thing made him kinda famous).She wanted to talk to and possibly befriend the son of the famous MIYAMOTO USAGI!!!But she acts professional(cuz bodyguards aren’t supposed to bring attention to themselve)and doesn’t try to talk to him,Usagi on the other hand was OVER THE MOON to family meet another samurai,who has the same name as one of his favorite characters AND has some mad skills!!(like c’mon it’s fateee-Usagi probably)and tries everything in his power to get her to notice him(especially if it embarrassed Kogane along the way)and to be fair it works!!They start spending a lot of time together training/going on missions together/playing games in the arcade/reading and discussing usagi yojimbo comics always having a thing for eachother but never really doing anything about it cuz they’re stubborn.And for my au she helps Yuchi beat Jei’s second form and technecly his third(her and Yuchi using there infinite UY knowledge and finding “The blade of the Gods”and using it to get rid of his soul for good)
Me and @papyrjams did a button swap and it was literally so fun! He sent me a drawing of our clown boys together so I absolutely had to draw one for him as well. I did this with watercolors I made myself so I'm so happy it turned out so well even if it smudged some.
One of my favorite Leosagi drawings I've done
I also made this Sunita button design just for him as well!
firm believer in chizu being the only one with an ounce of impluse control lmao

AND HERES THE END OF THE INTRO COMIC!!!
from here i plan to make shorter comics that continue the story but aren’t completed connected if that makes sense? i know what i’m doing for the next one so maybe it’ll make more sense when i post that one
anyway!!! thank you everyone for the support :D it means a lot to me and gives me motivation, i’m glad people enjoy this story and my art :)
and since they know abt this acc now, ty to my irl friend who listened to me ramble abt this au and encouraged me to create it!!! ily bff i am cringe but i am free
I'm so upset that I may have drawn my best Yuichi face for a fuckin meme
Anyway, people with brown eyes vs people with blue/green eyes

奈 - Red apple. The name of a fruit tree called "kara-nashi". A word expressing a question or antonym.
I saw that the fandom likes to give her pink so that's her color palette, and the design is based off a mix of the neko ninja uniform, Auntie's outfit and Yuichi's
Also to derail from Hanna
This is one of Chizu's peers, she's a Siamese cat
Her design is based off of the grey(?) and blue eyed neko ninja, Kaiyo/Fumiko's discarded outfit and Usagi Yojimbo's Tomoe Ame
