#meiwaku : the geneva conspiracy

Is it still a fanart if there's no canon characters? 🤔

Christmas gift for my friend and partner in literary crimes, @whosayscrimedoesntpay! This is a fake poster for a hypothetical movie starring our Lupin III OCs!

🦊The Secret of the Fox🦊

The Meiwaku Gang, lead by Goemon's pupil Naomi, is targeting a duo of mystical fox-shaped statues that supposedly lead to a hidden treasure. On the way, they butt heads with a mysterious masked thief and his gang, who stole the second statue and challenges them to a thieving duel. Unbeknowst to either gang, Naomi and the fox thief know each other very well...

Renjiro Jigen-Ishikawa: Jigen and Goemon's adopted son. He leads a gang of conmen and thieves. He's sly and very creative, and takes after his parents when it comes to causing problems on purpose.

Naomi Jigen-Benson (alias Motosuki): Jigen's niece, and Goemon's pupil. She is part of a group of thieves called Meiwaku. She's adventurous and hides a love of shenanigans behind her obsession for Bushido.

Ren and Naomi are aware of their relation, and although not very close, they have a friendly rivalry (and a shared tendency to keep their family history a secret from their friends).

Renjiro's gang!

Axel: the translator and puzzle geek. Is always learning a new language.

Sammi: the tech guy, a genius with an uncanny ability to find any information.

Kasumi: Keiko's twin. The muscles and occasional face of the group when Ren is busy.

Keiko: Kasumi's twin. A fashion major who specializes in making the gang's disguises.

Naomi's gang!

Kanako: Naomi's girlfriend. Expert with explosives, with a personality to match.

Hiro: Milo's boyfriend. Hacker from a long line of ninjas.

Milo: Hiro's boyfriend. Medic with a punch, a human golden retriever.

Renjiro, his gang, and Milo belong to @whosayscrimedoesntpay, the rest are mine!

You can also learn more about this bevy of idiots (affectionate) from my other fake movie projects: Lupin the Fourth, and The Geneva Conspiracy!

Current level of nerdery: inventing a fake movie about my Lupin III OCs

Meiwaku - The Geneva Conspiracy

After stealing a fake painting from an auction in Switzerland, the Meiwaku gang is dragged into the search for a mysterious treasure sought-out by the Free-Masons. They uncover forgery after forgery, as the ghost of a mad painter hovers over them all.

💥This movie involves a genius art forger, a chase on skis, a painting made in blood, and canon gays!
