#Maxim Tentrill

[thestalkerbunny]

I'd give that angry dog priest a grilled cheese and maybe he would calm down

The most alluring of treats...are the ones that are STOLEN.

Remember to administer the yearly medications to your pets. Or your very annoying local Dog Priests.

Hostile Work Environment; or Max just wants Yu-Ming to stop mooching off his fridge and his wallet.

[thestalkerbunny]

Continuation

Patches and Yu Ming Detective Agency will always get their man('s Wallet to buy hotted dogs.)

Sometimes I find old vintage pictures and I'm like 'I know who THAT is!'

TFW you have to teach your new secretary how to use a typewriter but she thinks it's purpose is to be funny little noise make machine.

[thestalkerbunny]

This one goes out to everyone who owns a cat who throws up in a Secret Spot that you don't find till several days later.

At least Miss Patches is apologetic about it.

Max learns the actor that gave him night terrors as a kid is actually his most favorite fantasy creature from when he was a kid.

I've spent about a week or so researching Asian roles in Cinema in the early 19th century because I love research and I love learning.

It's actually quite interesting, Asian actors would have to fight tooth and nail to get half decent parts only for the roles to be offensive or derogatory to their culture and heritage-and the reaction from the Asian American Community was so negative that they actually got up and made their OWN film company-Asian films made by Asian people. And it was a MASSIVE success across the board. Really said if you wanna do something right, you gotta do it yourself.

They were called The Great Wall Film Company, if you wanna glance at it's short wikipedia. They also pioneered some interesting animation.

There are a lot of Shrines in New Chicago; it's a real melting pot of every culture and faith you can think of. If you want somewhere to pray, experience religion, culture or pay tribute to an ancestor-you just gotta skip around a corner and it's gonna be there.

Max used to go to a public Shrine when he was a kid with his dad and his brother-but stopped after they died. He canonically used to pat their noses as they appeared as large stone dogs. And believe it or not-this couple is very excited that he's come back despite their faces

TFW you're a resting bitch face couple but you're VERY VERY HAPPY.

[thestalkerbunny]

I realize I never draw Maxim smiling and now that I've drawn him doing so-I realize I've been committing CRIMES by not letting him smile like the good boy he is.

[thestalkerbunny]

He's interviewing some tiny witnesses.

[thestalkerbunny]

max looks like hes going to make lesbians very disapoitned hes not butch

Lesbians seeing Max with his hair down: what a beautiful butch!

Lesbians seeing him dry his hair and it floof back up: A....a beautiful butch.

Lesbians watching as his deep ass masc voice starts swearing because the cat got underfoot again:.....Could still be butch.

[thestalkerbunny]

Anon: I wanna see Max dressed like a slut.

Me: Lmao, sure but it's gonna be period piece accurate.

Me: Wait hold on, you're on to something.

[thestalkerbunny]

Get you a woman who can both be a real KNOCK OUT when you first meet her and then nearly a year later will chase and catch bugs around the office cause they're too gross and fast for you.

(A Fox's diet include bugs, reptiles and birds. Chasing around a bug or two is just like chasing around a piece of popcorn for Yu Ming.)

[thestalkerbunny]

Being a detective requires many different skills I think, what you think are Max's strong suits? And the ones that he isn't as good at?

Well on his strong side; He's a very observant person. He notices and picks up on small things that people often overlook. He also is very approachable in his own way; you know how sometimes you can just start talking to someone and it's very comfortable? He's got that energy. He's a big puzzle guy, a Riddle Guy, he does a lot more thinking than you'd initially think. Not a whole lot of reading-but a lot of thinking. He also doesn't fly off the handle over things. He knows a lot of weird stuff that you don't think would be applicable but somehow it ends up being applicable to the situation.

On the Con; he doesn't drink which limits him in an era where the number one place to get info is at illegal bars-mainly due to the only two times he got black out drunk, was after his brother's funeral and the other time resulted in him being beaten up in his office and inducted into a magic world. He's clumsy, he's unlucky in romance up until the events of Induction, he's quick to blame himself for things he thinks he could have fixed or prevented, he's a bit of a push over (which is why Yu-Ming and Patches so easily take advantage of him constantly.) He can't drive well which is more of a 'I live in a big city with public transport why should I learn to drive' thing. He doesn't like guns and doesn't own one even though as a detective he SHOULD but he just doesn't-he's never been a fan of them, he'd probably fumble it out of his hand over how SWEATY using one makes him with the nerves.

Max within this image: I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I REALLY HATE THIS.

[thestalkerbunny]

The classical trope of the Detective and Police Officer Rivalry, but it's funnier cause an already short man found someone SHORTER than him.

How can you take someone who yells at you to 'stay off the case this is a police matter' seriously when you could probably pick him up and toss him into a trash can?

Everyone, this is Yu Ming. Yu Ming. This is everyone.

Recently I decided I wanna make a character who is a Huli Jing-a Chinese Fox Spirit (Cousin of the Kitsune, Kumiho and other Eastern fox entities.) They're sometimes helpful, sometimes not so helpful, creatures that coexist with mortals and are quite beautiful.

I want to try and avoid any kind of specific hard tropes related to Asian Women of the time period she's in-which has resulted in her sort of being a very beautiful woman who is also very very silly. She's like if Maxim actually got a real secretary to take calls and type down notes for him; except she's scared of the type writer cause it 'shrieked' at her and keeps telling people who call to 'stop calling'. She also does a number of fox like things; such as chase after bugs, make a sound to a car starting up when she's excited, and uses her big tail to keep herself warm.
