mp100 age swap au comic as part of my contractual obligation to @jascurka. I actually thought of this joke ages ago but needed an excuse to make this. My only regret is that I couldn't work in the phrase "Mob-omobile"
comic script under the cut!
panel 1
[Adult Mob in a dark gray suit and dark blue tie walks side-by-side with young Reigen, who wears a middle school uniform]
Reigen: It would be like a mobile office. We could keep salt and other supplies in the trunk. And it would look super
Mob: [cutting him off] We're not getting a company car
panel 2
[Reigen looking pout-y]
panel 3
Reigen: Well why not!
panel 4
[panel shows Reigen's text bubble slightly obscured by Mob holding a neutral expression]
Reigen: We did that job for Ms. Asagiri and I know she's rich because I saw her house. I don't know what you do with all the money we make because it's definitely not going into my paycheck and I know you don't have a girlfriend.
panel 5
Mob: [slightly smiling] I suppose I could make some room in the budget.
panel 6
Reigen: [bouncing up and down with excitement] REALLY?
panel 7
[panel shows Mob's speech bubble over Reigen looking crestfallen]
Mob: I'd just need to stop buying snacks for the office. And we'd have to stop going out to eat.
panel 8
[panel shows Mob and Reigen side by side again. Reigen is smiling with his eyes closed and talking with his hands while Mob looks on with a soft smile]
Reigen: Y'know I actually don't mind the train! Plus cars require a lot of expensive upkeep, and the gas is terrible for the enviroment.

study of chris bachalo鈥檚 art style (plus some other artists who popped in also)
[Image Description: digital sketches of deadpool, spider-man, and a random girl. top left corner has two colored sketches of spider-man, one from the front and the other a side profile. both show his head and half of his arm only. he looks angry and confused in the first one, and angry and thoughtful in the second one. top right corner is a colored sketch of deadpool with his mask halfway up. by his side, there鈥檚 a little blonde girl with a purple beanie. bottom left corner has two colored sketches of deadpool, both a headshot. first one is an angry looking deadpool from a 3/4 view. second one shows him lurking and peeking into something from a side profile. bottom right corner is a colored sketch of deadpool looking sideways in confusion. he鈥檚 drawn from his face to half of his torso, but the arms have not been drawn. in the middle of the canvas, there is a little spider-man mask and a very open eye with a light blue pupil. the background is a solid white. the next picture is a collage of all the references used taken from the comics. /end ID]

it'd be interesting to see a version of that Beloathed Fanfic Terminology poll that skips all the general clumsy-writing foibles and focuses on shibboleths specific to fic culture (esp LJ/AO3 "house style"). blown pupils. toeing off shoes. italicized "oh." huffing a laugh. "fisted" as a synonym for "grabbed," often in contexts where The Author Should Damn Well Know That Raises Awkward Disambiguation Issues. entire clusters of statistically-improbable dialogue tags that i can't think up examples of offhand, but would absolutely clock if i saw them in the wild. scent X, scent Y, and something uniquely him. fill in your own; i'm sure there are tons more.
some of them i find kinda charming, and most of the ones above don't really bother me except that they sometimes ring a bit clich茅, and/or are so jarringly fanfic-specific that they can interfere with a narrative voice that's less so. but my stupid-ass hill to die on is that "blown pupils" drives me NUTS. I Have Never Fucking Noticed Someone's Eyes Doing That, let alone doing that from being turned on. let alone so dramatically as to be understood shorthand for "turned on," rather than "concussed" or "on the way back from the ophthalmologist's office" or "on So Many Drugs" or "having a fucking stroke." and if i - with an existing pet peeve about this phrase in fanfic - have never taken time out of a makeout session to note the relative pupil dilation of the person i'm sucking face with, i guaran-fuckin'-tee you that Emotional Constipation McManlyMan from your slash fics would not fucking say that even in internal narration, and definitely would not have that exact wording on hand as a stock turn of phrase. come the fuck on.

"Non paeniteo potitus."
+ details & process
And, process !!
The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished鉁笍
What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:
I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!
There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!
