introducing..... MY VENTURE BROS OCS: A butterfly-themed villain and and her sidekick who are TOTALLY CRAMPING THE MONARCH'S STYLE!!!!! 🦋

Red Admiral has an origin story as ridiculous and unnecessary as any supervillain worth their salt. once an accomplished entomologist studying carnivorous lepidoptera, a bite from a mutated specimen gave her the ability to dissolve into a swarm of vampire butterflies the same way a typical vampire transforms into a swarm of bats. with her new power, she's turned to a life of crime simply for the novelty of it, and believes her claim to the butterfly-based villain niche is more legitimate than the Monarch's. (voice: Helen Mirren)

Swallowtail doesn't have powers, but makes up for it with her sick butterfly knife skills. she was a bit disappointed to discover that serving as a supervillain's right-hand woman is basically a glorified internship, but hey, it's still kinda cool. by day, Aditi Tallavarjula works at a hole-in-the-wall comic book shop frequented by one Gary Fischer. eventually he works up the nerve to ask her out, but hilarity ensues as both parties try to hide their henchman double-life from the other. (voice: Aparna Nancherla)

so, here’s something i’ve been working on for a while…. my vbros self-insert 😁💕💕

more character description: an androgynous, 19th-century nurse-themed character with a Clara Bow charm. nonchalant and not uncouth, but still flirtatious and spontaneous. despite the invasiveness of their threats, they try to make sure their enemies are comfortable and enthusiastic about being arched. bountiful source of medical references. sleeps around, but has a persistent crush on Pete White and Billy Whalen. naps frequently, loves sweets, and is known to take prescription medication for fun. (legal name is Yuri Estrada; a part Peruvian-Quechuan independent artist and kinkster.)

any pronouns are okay, they use they/them for theirself but i imagine pete and billy would default to she/her most of the time X)

tried out a more retro style to fit that whole 60's tokusatsu vibe I'm going for with my Venture Bros OC Maple

[irraydiate]

An OC, he’s a Hank clone that survived when both twins were caught in a cave-in when they were 14.

(Further lore ↓)

Apologies for being overly verbose for parts of this, I’m just like that sometimes

Dean died and Hank was hit in the head and knocked out. Because his watch (and by extension his wrist) was crushed, he was assumed to be dead. He survived but was forced to live with his brother’s rotting corpse, and only ate/drank bugs, moss, tree roots, and underground spring water, effectively becoming severely malnourished. The only “company” he had was a small colony of bats that came and went through a vent in the cave’s ceiling. This led to more delusion and detachment, as well as further fuelling his obsession with Batman. I know scientifically he’d probably just die from all this but whatever..

He’s found after like 6 years and does not take the news about them being clones very well, but he’s very happy to see his family, and ends up liking the current Hank. He gets surgery to deal with his broken bones that healed horrifically wrong, but nothing seems to really fix him mentally.

Also the “Allen” is the normal/replacement Hank, as everyone agreed this cave Hank was Hank first and got to keep his name. Idk what I’m doing

I only made this character as a sort of hypothetical crisis for Hank, and also wanted to make my own take on a D-19 type character

I was inspired by Alphonse Elric and Riku from Kemu Voxx’s books for the (minimally transformative) design, but it’s mostly just Hank.. It was hard to restrain myself from drawing dicks on that cast both because innate urge and it actually being in-character

(Also ik that this design ever being animated at this level of detail would be some form of abuse, but I ain’t animating his ass, and I also have little restraint when it comes to adding pointless details.)

Buckaroo Banzai

Faster Pussycat Kill Kill

The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T

Forbidden Zone

Frankenhooker

Lord Love A Duck

Meet the Feebles

Mondo Cane

Xanadu

Withnail and I

Valley Girl

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Didn't think I could get away using the FREAKS (1932) poster with the thematically relevant but unfortunately worded tagline...

ICYMI—

A Conjectural Technologies backstory story (circa '95-'96ish) Billy has a crush on the mean grrrl who works the video store. Pete suddenly finds himself ever-popular with a whole new fan base
