#RoobrickMarine

[canisalbus]

What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

Okay, so, anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan I am of @canisalbus and their gay dogs. For those not in the know, please go check them out! So, as many of you know, the fantastic RoobrikMarine wrote a phenomenal fic called Separation. Me and Jack read this. We pondered. We had Gay Dog Feelings. And then we went, well, it's about time we actually collaborated on something.

So, anyway. The phenomenally skilled @jackshvck is responsible for the foreground here, and I (RubiconArt) have done the background! It was a lot of fun, and I maaaaay have slipped in a little more symbolism than the fic actually said was in that painting but, well, y'know. Don't worry about it!

Anyway, here is our little Christmas present to you, CanisAlbus, we really do hope you like it!

Under the cut are the full version of the painting and of Jack's part too! I recommend opening it in a new image to see the details properly.

(canis, if you'd like the full size image of this it's 11k x 8k so I would have to email it to you, but you're welcome to it!)

I'm not much of a painter, but sometimes you read a fanfiction that's so good, art comes out.

Miserable Catholic Hound (and his Roommate) by @canisalbus, amazing fanfic by RoobrickMarine on ao3.

#I think the surest way to get the message to him is to leave comment on the fic itself! I'm sure he'd appreciate it #he spent months working on it and it shows #you can do it anonymously and without an AO3 account #answered #anonymous #roobrickmarine #fic Separation

“he also employs a very competent personal doctor” - does this doctor have a name, or breed, or perhaps reference pictures? I would like to know… for reasons, lol!

Doctor Matteo Frosini, I imagine him as a fiftysomething Bracco Italiano from Florence. He has a dignified and collected look to him, but he can be surprisingly jovial and good-natured as well. Above all he's pragmatic, confident in his abilities and unflappable in a time of crisis.

#I've been thinking of combining the character from RoobrickMarine's 'Separation' fic #with an ancient design I had for Machete's personal physician #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #Matteo Frosini #fic Separation #Vaschete lore

I would like Vittorio’s hand in marriage, please. He looks so cute!

#thank you! #RoobrickMarine who did majority of his character building surmised he might be ace and personally I'm thinking he could be aro as well #so probably not interested but he'd be flattered nonetheless #anonymous #answered
