Fujiko forms! Whipped these up tonight. Might be WIPs forever, but i especially like the harpy one (biased) so i might come back to these.

[generalhamsterdancer]

A line-up for the monster/fantasy au! (This'll be in WIP hell forever!!)

I finally figured out Goemon's, Lupin's and Zenigata's monsters:

Goemon: Insect-folk

Lupin: Dullahan (not pictured)

Zenigata: Lizard-folk (in a human disguise)

Everyone else is the same, Shapeshifter Fujiko and Dragon Jigen. Can't wait to solidify/clean up these designs but I bit off more than I can chew drawing this in two days so

[generalhamsterdancer]

Lupgoe angst probably

[generalhamsterdancer]

Omg this EATS

my favorite goemon (dead or alive) x my favorite lupin (the fuma conspiracy) 💝

[generalhamsterdancer]

I love that lupin fans are also: Sonic fans or Ace Attorney fans or Dungeon Meshi fans or My Little Pony fans, or

Lemme know if I missed one

[generalhamsterdancer]

I'm still playing around with this idea, but I thought I'd share.

In the fantasy au, Lupin (might) be a Faun instead of a human now.

I'm changing this because, to be VERY brief and explaining with BROAD STROKES here (*checks tvtropes & wiki article*), Fauns in Greek mythology were depicted as peaceful and gentle, whereas Satyrs were depicted as lovers of sex, wine, women and salacious comedy. See where I'm going with this?

So Lupin will look like a smiling, innocent Faun until he robs you blind and sleeps with your wife/husband like a Satyr. Satyrs and Fauns are usually lumped together anyway, so he embodies both by having a gentlemanly personality and a boisterous personality. Plus, he fits with the monster/creature vibe everyone else in the gang has! (Minus Zenigata... and maybe Goemon? I'm still chewing on that bug idea)

Lupin fools people with a switcheroo all the time so I thought this would fit. Then again it might be too on the nose to be interesting, or too OOC to make sense.

Dragon Jigen teeth and dragon noodle bodies omg im tired

[generalhamsterdancer]

Jigen's cold-blooded. He can't blush. So his horns glow and make a quiet humming sound when he would be blushing i guess. oh yeah, the elusive 'Bangs Jigen' is back! give it up for 'Bangs Jigen!'

Jigen teeth. I was referencing orc tusks. I'd've added more teeth but there was no space. i love cool monster teeth. I feel like they look... gross? its definitely the shading.

the colors... i need to work on the colors. posted the sketch cuz it looked better.

Oh yeah happy belated New Year everybody! I should draw his looong dragon form since its year of the snake, huh?

[generalhamsterdancer]

Lupin design! The silly guy!

My first attempts. IDK why I went for the cravat for these, other than it looks fancy... but he's not that fancy, yk? The slit in the cape is supposed to emulate a tailcoat. I like that.

Went more toward a thief outfit with this one. I think I like the pink one on the far right the best.

Just drew this today! I went full "mage" outfit w/ the hat and robe and idk! It works I guess. Still not sold on it bc it looks so generic. Green magic bc part 1!

The meteorite he popped out of was purple so he got magic (scars?) that are purple too!

Here it is! The Lupin Fantasy AU lore/info dump!

The Premise/Setting:

So in this au, Lupin and the gang live in a magical fantasy world. A thousand years ago(?), two meteorites crashed into earth, containing magical technology. They were said to be blessings sent from the gods. Last year, a third meteorite hit, and inside was Lupin.

Because of the magic tech, the medieval fantasy world began accelerating toward steampunk-ish fantasy.

The Characters:

Lupin's a magician-thief who uses his magic to steal stuff.

Jigen's a dragon and he's a fortune teller/psychic on the side when he isn't guarding his(/lupin's) horde.

Goemon is just Goemon...? (I haven't fully decided what fantasy flair I want to give him. I like the bug/mothmon idea from the "halloween" art but I'm still iffy on keeping it or changing it.) All I can say is he was a dragon-hunter and bodyguard for a princess before he met Lupin.

Fujiko is an eldritch shapeshifter creature but she usually stays in a Harpy form. (She has other forms that I'll draw later!) She's a shapeshifter for hire when she's not with Lupin.

Zenigata is I guess whatever counts as a lawman in fantasy medieval worlds? (knight/guard?) And he has a life sustaining device implanted in his chest so he'll be alive to chase Lupin forever!! (I gotta figure out something cooler for zeni too but that's all I got rn)

The Plot:

TL;DR: The meteorite trip made Lupin's magic go haywire, go figure. Four legendary rings can help fix his problem. The Lupgroup might as well get them before they get into the wrong --Pycal's -- hands. And so begins Lupin’s adventure of a lifetime. 

Lifetime? Lifetimes? It's hard to keep track when you’re an immortal amnesiac.

(Note: If any of this sounds familiar and you read the description for "Memoirs of the Great Magician, Lupin III" on Ao3, No you didn't.)

Me:*approaches you and taps your shoulder* "what if I... what if I told you there was lore? 👉👈"

💥 Thats right! Christmas came early, we got Dragon Jigen lore! 💥

But I gotta know:

I wanna make multiple lore posts about this on the blog but couldn't decide how to start sooo... Y'all pick one! 🫣 I made this about specific aspects of the au bc I don't have the whole thing figured out yet 😅 but I need to yap about this!

(and if I'm lying and decide to make a lore post before all the results are in, you can tar and feather me 🪶🕳️)

[generalhamsterdancer]

Op... This is so cool. Omg. I AM IN LOVE

It’s him…. Goe dragon…. Colored n old sketch

[generalhamsterdancer]

Lupin candy gore + another drawing (but I burnt myself out drawing all day so) consider this still a WIP but at least the original drawing is done and the gummy worm guts look decent. 🤷

IDK composition. This looks wack.

[generalhamsterdancer]

stoning goemon

Another Dragon Jigen design update!/random art

I finally cracked the code! He just needed face spines! Also I turned those tusks upward and they look sooo much cooler now (imo).

In the second image I was going for a Dragonborn look? I think I might keep the purple on blue color scheme, I like it.

Third image: yeah, thats a chibi dragon version. I was inspired by the Rayquaza pose (IYKYK).

BTW! I'm working on the old Goemon WIP tonight so maybe I'll finish and post that! But I just needed to post this first.

Eat up Dragon Jigen enjoyers!
