#Layton series spoilers

[jesterday00]

One thing I find very interesting about Des and Layton is the fact that their color palettes are almost identical. Everything about character design is intentional, so the creators knew what they were doing and setting up.

But there's a very minute difference that I've noticed as I've made the Layton Brothers stuff. Desmond's hair is a touch more blonde than Hershel's. Just the cherry on top of the shitty cake he was dealt, making him look that minute bit more like Leon. Bigger nose, large light brown eyes, and the barest hint of blonde.

Perhaps that is why Desmond prefers the appearance of Descole, the persona. Because it hides everything that ties him to Leon.

hello clive nation. i have doodled him way too many times in the last 7 days because i am normal.

forgive the bad quality, they were all so tiny on my canvas...

[speargpants]

For like a month now i've wanted to draw Clive sitting in a big fancy chair all mafia boss like and now i finally got around to it

Also a little doodle of the younger Clive from the photo in the ending didnt have time to colour it though

Now i will disappear once again until the Layton series takes a grip on my brain once more

Why is processor latent so sad 😢

band au now. Here it is. God damn it.

So anyways this is all Emmy’s fault. Girlie just wanted her own rock band and made it everyone else’s problem. Now there’s a group of mid-twenties to forty somethings trying to relive the glory days.

On another day:

And lastly:

And to top it all off I have a relationship sheet. Sometimes you think Desmond is baby girl, sometimes you remember that by curious village he’s a 43 year old man. Sometimes that doesn’t stop him from being babygirl. He’s like the trap of the group, where teens will see edits of him online and start stanning him. Bro doesn’t know what that means and is too scared to bother finding out. Emmy finds it hilarious.

In this au, Desmond works as a renowned archeology professor with a loving wife and a daughter under a fake identity. His relationship with his father is none-existent, having cut all contact in his teens. His brother, Theodore, was taken by child-protective services in his youth and doesn’t remember Des at all.

Emmy, is a journalist for the company, Targent. She used to travel the world in search of good stories, but recently settled down in the area to follow the story of a famous archeology professor, one Hershel Layton. She also recently connected with her cousin Desmond. He is unhappy about this.

Clive, is also a journalist for a competitor company, World Times. He and Emmy were fast friends due to their mutual love of compelling stories and teasing. They get drunk on Saturdays and complain/gossip to each other. He seems to have a vendetta against a local politician, Bill Hawks, but Emmy can’t quite pin down why.

Bloom is a local investigator on the force who keeps the police in line with Targent’s goals. He influences the top brass and the police’s young prodigy. He and Emmy see each other often during Targent briefings and are close workmates, though not entirely by his choice.

anyways that’s all from me idk man that original drawing of Clive wasn’t supposed to have lore

"Do you remember the time....."

He's as charming as the day she lost him

[flwrcrxwnlyon]

"Descole being a diva? IDK I never watched the movie/J"

silly screenshot redraw of this scene

[hiddens-studio]

Focus!

So I did a little redesign of The masked gentleman for fun, nothing too big because I already love his design.

Randall is my second favorite PL character next to Descole, I love them so much. 💕

Maybe the azran legacy was the friends we made along the way

[jesterday00]

The boys, Hershel and Teddy

[speargpants]

Alright now i've finished Azran Legacy, so i feel like i can finally make a side blog for Layton stuff so i can post about it without feeling like im bothering people on my main one lmao Just gonna dump all my recent art here (warning for spoilers for Unwound Future and Miracle Mask sort of)

And then this Clive i drew after having watched someone play through Unwound Future and realizing Clive is so much worse of a person than what i remembered from playing it when i was younger lmao + old art of him i made from around 5 or 6 years ago, you can probably still find it on the Layton amino somewhere lol

I'm glad i finally played through the prequel trilogy, because for some reason i just never got around to that back when i was really into the series, AND despite having owned a copy of Miracle Mask for like 3 years since i found it at a con for very cheap

[s68l]

i thought this was so funny and i was talking to @prisile about it as i created it HSDHDSAHBJDASHBJ

original: the vampire dies in no time (my favorite anime ever)

My contribution to the Professor Layton Big Bang 2024!!!! A bit late relative to when it first opened but I made it…!

What’s it about you ask…? Well this reminds me of a puzz— I’m kidding. If you’re interested click to find out :)

I also did an art for this which looks something like this…

Do check out the artists who’ve done art on this too. They are all ✨✨✨

Well anyway, happy reading ^^

Edit: I’d like to add that it was actually @inkzix and @lumivall that had the idea for the long flowing hair and I just made it longer ^^
