"Long time no see, huh? You look like you've seen a ghost~
L-Lewis...?
Oh no, he's... unavailable right now. You'll be calling me Reverb~"
Wanted to mess around with a Reverb using Lewis's face to freak Arthur out :3 while sketching I realized I drew his pose very similarly to Lewis at the beginning of The Future and I decided to lean into it :3
Below the cut are the flats, an alternative version, and a concept sketch :3
Resending this because I legit do not know if it sent the first time I did this ask. If it did, ignore this! ...the wording is obviously different if it did send for obvious reasons lol-
Hello! I have recently learned of your Mystery Moon AU, love the name by the way, and as a MSA fan, I have some world building questions!
First off, is Music Man just an animatronic, or is he some sort of supernatural creature residing in an animatronic? ...mainly because either way, it can make his relationship with the potential Shiromori equivalent very interesting because it's potentially a fellow animatronic with abandonment issues, or just a supernatural being lol-
Next is Y/N magic like Vivi is because if so that's just cool, but if not then that's fine as well!
And third, before the accident, what was the relationship between Sun, Moon and Y/N? Were they just friends, was their pining, were they in a relationship, was it just Moon and Y/N or just Sun and Y/N, that sort of thing.
Oh hi!!!! I never got the ask before but I’m SO glad you sent it again, thank you!
1.) Honestly, I’m not too sure yet lol. On the one hand, I’d like to keep it an animatronic and focus the supernatural elements towards the *main* villain. But on the other hand, it would make more sense, since the Shiromori was supposedly made from a piece of Mystery (physical or spiritual? Who knows), if they were formed through ghostly nonsense too. I’ve been toying with the idea of not including the Shiromori at all, but in the end I just haven’t dedicated too much thought to it yet.
2.) This one I can answer. Yes, Y/N has magical abilities! But who would their ancestor be, I wonder?
3.) This one is my favorite and the one I’ve been focusing on the most. Back in the day, the crew had been working with each other for a long time, and what started as a coincidental acquaintanceship soon blossomed into a friendship, and eventually a romance. Sun and Moon, while not particularly romantic towards each other, still greatly cared for the other, and were more than happy to start a poly relationship with Y/N.
Even still, the animatronic pair had their differences, and there are always bound to be issues when you put others needs before your own…
A lot of things have been going on lately, so I haven't been able to post much. In the end, February seemed like a free month, but it was full of busy days. It might be less not busy in March. I want to draw more of my beloved Arthur.
Like I said before, I didn't change much, just the colors, flames, and his anchor. I especially wanted to change his anchor because in The Future it becomes gray and cracked, so it didn't really make sense for it to suddenly be lively again :/ plus I wanted to show off Reverb's possession through it sense that is how Lewis gets possessed in the first place. (Fun Fact: his anchor is so sharp now, you could cut yourself on it :))
Dreadbeats! Little guys! Will steal your wallet if you aren't careful! (Fun Fact: their smiles are permanent :))
It is a story about a father named Mystery and a mother named Sisa who care for and raise their young daughters: Shiromori and P'ata kiska or "Kiska".
Shiromori is a first-time teenager and loves to put on makeup, something her father doesn't like, but Mystery is influenced by Sisa. She believes that she is already Big girl and that she can handle big people's issues like "going out at night to concerts." "Kiska" on the other hand, she is calm and loves to draw and read, she also likes to act, these are topics that she and Mystery can interact with, since he is a teacher at a high school.
Sisa, on the other hand, loves her new family, since it was just her and Kiska at first. There was a moment when Mystery and Sisa met and decided to join their families and now we see them together!!!
Ren is Shiromori's cat (he is the garden shears) while Kiska's dog is Chun (the living prickly pear).
Owo!!!
Been thinking about a Selkie!Arthur AU, here lately. I really like this idea. <3
Some info on this AU below the read more! I can't decide if it should be a LewThur AU or a LewViThur AU, rn, though. xD
• His vest is actually his coat.
• Only Uncle Lance and Mystery know that he's a selkie living in Tempo; Artie and Mystery are the only ones that know about Lance being a selkie, as well. Well, Duet might know, too.
• The rest of the Kingsmen family are alive! They just live closer to the sea than Arthur and Lance do since Arthur and Lance ventured further inland to satisfy Artie's curiosity; they settled in Tempo after Artie befriended Vivi and Lewis. They do still visit with the rest of their family pretty often, though - they'd lose their marbles being so far from the sea, otherwise.
• He has started numerous fights with people over folks almost touching his "vest" and will absolutely bite people over it. Trying to touch his vest will make him go absolutely feral and is the fastest way to start a fight with him.
• He's pretty distrustful of others but does trust a handful of the people in Tempo. Namely his uncle, Vivi, Lewis, Mystery, and Lewis' family. He does like Vivi's parents despite not really trusting them and he's civil towards grandma Yukino...sorta. Things are a bit tense between the two of them, to be honest. He just struggles to trust people he knows used to hunt supernatural beings in the past. Duet unnerves him and he hasn't been able to figure out why, just yet.
• The why is that Duet is actually a whale-shifter. Them being a whale-shifter is also why they have an idea as to what Arthur might be but they're not planning on telling him that any time here soon. He's already skittish enough around them, as is.
• Since the others don't know he's a selkie the possessiveness over his vest confuses them a little but they just assume it's because it must be sentimental to him so try to be understanding of it.
• Vivi has absolutely punched someone for trying to touch/take his vest when Arthur wasn't around despite not knowing why it's actually so important to him and Lewis has gotten involved with Arthur's fights a couple of times after seeing him start to panic/cry. This is part of why they're the only people he's comfortable leaving his coat with other than his uncle.
• Lewis tried to hand Arthur's vest to him once before he knew how protective Artie was of it. He was extremely confused by how flustered Artie got at first but ended up concerned after Artie started begging him to drop his vest. It was a whole thing. The incident actually led to Lewis himself becoming a bit over-protective of Artie's vest, himself, but he doesn't like to admit as much.
• That incident is actually what led to Mystery figuring out Arthur is a selkie - Mystery could tell he wasn't exactly human from the get-go but didn't know what he was before that point. Mystery teases him about it whenever he gets the chance, too - after all, who wouldn't tease someone about the time they had to reject an accidental proposal from their crush who wasn't aware they were even proposing to them? Arthur hates it - the whole thing is just super embarrassing to him, now.
• Arthur hasn't tried to revert back to his seal form since losing his arm - he's not ready to see how it will change his coat, just yet.
