Takemiya Keiko interview about Kazeki OVA (1987)
Here's another short interview from platypus's stack of old magazines with cool interviews: Takemiya Keiko talks about Kaze to Ki no Uta Sanctus: Sei Naru Kana in the 1987 December issue of Puff.
Translation is under the cut, and please let me know if you spot my mistakes.
Kaze to Ki no Uta – OVA is finally on sale!
Takemiya Keiko Interview
“It will not ruin your image of the work, so please watch it!”
Let us first hear your thoughts on finishing this project.
Mr. Yoshikazu was sitting at the director’s chair. That alone assured me that everything would go smoothly, and I left everything to him. He read the manga thoroughly and gave the work his own interpretation. I had nothing to worry about. I didn’t have to ask him not to do a certain part in a certain way, or to avoid including too many “risqué” scenes. I can feel that he gave the work the treatment it deserves. Even the animation style was not too flashy and anime-like. The movements were more orthodox. Everything worked out perfectly, so I have nothing to say.
The background art was amazing. Did you ask them to draw them that way?
Both Mr. Yoshikazu and I thought that she’d be a good fit, and suggested having the same person who was the art director for “Natsu e no Tobira”, but we couldn’t get a hold of her. We found out the reason later: The producer thought she was too slow, and we should give up on working with her (laughs). But when we said that she was the only person who could draw the backgrounds, she was hired to work in the project. However, she was too late to turn in the drafts. We really were in a tight spot. She might have been slow, but she really is an artist. When she can’t draw something, she just can’t. She gave it her all… Even though it was something that’d only be on screen for two seconds… If we couldn’t ask them to do something, I said I should go ahead and do it myself.
So, I gather that you drew some key animation yourself. Are manga and anime too different to draw for?
Both mediums are used basically to capture “movement,” so I think they are the same. You go with the flow, trying to capture “movement”… You think about how original you can express it. That’s a really fun undertaking. For example, even if it’s just a scene of a character turning to look back, if you strive to give it a little touch, you can really bring out an erotic feeling. That’s the stuff I’m talking about. If I had a lot of money, I would dabble more in in-between animation. I now understand why Otomo Katsuhiro-san was so obsessed with it (laughs).
I’ve seen the OVA. It felt like reading one of your works.
Do you think so? I didn’t ask him to do it, but to keep close to the atmosphere of the original work, Mr. Yoshikazu outlined the key points. He put the same things as my drawings in those scenes. But if you looked closely, you could tell that they were different. When I saw the whole thing, I thought “wow, it’s the same!” However, upon closer inspection, I found out that such scenes did not exist in the original. I even thought maybe something was wrong with me. The same also goes for the lines. “Did he ever say that? He might have said that…” But when I re-read, I see that no such line was uttered. I had so many moments like that.
What was the fans’ reaction to this OVA adaptation?
When I said it was happening, I received an equal amount of positive and negative reactions. Well, that’s only to be expected. So, like I thought, only when I said that Mr. Yoshikazu was the one directing it, I saw the real opposition. The animation director was decided on, but the VAs weren’t cast yet. When news of the production got out, I received letters saying “it’s too late, I give up!” (laughs) They said stuff like, “Here we are, so against this idea, but you still say that you’ll do it! I don’t care anymore!” I can say that there are people who definitely won’t watch it. It makes me happy to see the work being loved that much, but when people are that obsessed with it… It’s kind of scary. I sometimes go as far not seeing it as something I myself created. But well, there are still a lot of people who say “I might cry and whine, but I’ll still watch it.”
Can we have Ms.Takemiya, the creator herself, do some advertisement for the OVA?
The OVA didn’t embarrass me, so I’ll keep promoting it. I don’t think it’ll ruin your image of the work. But I know that there are people who are too nitpicky and say stuff like the lines of a character’s profile is kind of off and they hate it, or that their legs are too thin or that their feet look weird (laughs). In that sense, we paid extra attention to the movement itself and tried to animate the characters in a natural manner. “The Poem of the Wind and the Trees” makes you think of subtle movements, right? We can’t have them move too briskly, and even the fight scene is nothing too serious. Because Mr. Yoshikazu didn’t want to create too vivid of a scene. Rather, he didn’t want it to stink of “masculinity” that much. And people who’ve only seen the character designs might think that they look nothing like the manga, but when they are in motion, they do look like their manga counterparts. As for the voice of the characters, I don’t know the actress of Gilbert, but we have Nobita-kun for Serge (laughs)! People who are into anime will recognize her voice, so they might be a little bit of put off by that, but she doesn’t sound like Nobita-kun here. Not at all! The more you listen to her acting, the more you enjoy it! There are parts that reflect Serge’s character, so I’m really content with the result.
Can we consider this as “episode 1” of a series? Do you have plans for a continuation?
If this OVA sells, it might happen. If this one gets a positive reaction, I think we can make another one. The producer said that’s what he thought would happen. If you ask Mr. Yoshikazu, he says it’ll be at least 6 episodes long, but I doubt that. I can’t bring myself to believe that we can make that many episodes. Anyway, to think that we won’t be working with the staff who brought it to life with such resemblance feels so sad. But I also think that if we ask them to do it again, they’ll simply run away (laughs). We’ve already done Yoshikazu-san’s favorite part right off the bat, so what remains is the hard part. He says he can’t decipher a character like Augu (laughs). Maybe another director might do better.
And what about the future of the story in manga?
There’s the stuff about marriage and children problems, how to reach enlightenment, and everything in-between until Serge’s death. But even if I drew that, that would have no meaning for people who are only here for what Gilbert and Serge had (laughs). I don’t have any plans to draw any continuation for the moment, but one day, if I ever get the chance… If the are conditions right, I think I’d like to draw it.
Can we have your final message for Puff readers?
Watch the OVA. Please do it. I believe that if you watch it once, all of your worries will be washed away.

Hi Vorthosjay! Until today, I had no idea you had a blog here! It's very fun to scroll through.
I have a question I'm unsure if you'd be able to answer: a character like Ashiok is unlikely to have gone through only one draft in creation, but that doesn't necessarily imply a certain amount of drafts or hands to have gone through. Through those drafts and hands, by the time a story comes out, how different is Ashiok (or any other big character in a story) from the original idea behind said character?
Thank you if you were able to answer, and thank you regardless if you weren't. Have a good day!
The answer is: it's really going to depend, and I'm not involved in most of it. It has also changed over time. This is just my educated guesswork, but I think I'd break it down like this:
Idea
Concept
Design
Character
Idea is "This set will have a Blue-Black planeswalker. We are calling it "Dark Jace"." I would imagine this is part of the design skeleton, although designing for planeswalkers has changed a lot over time.
Concept is giving that idea to the art/creative team (who were part of creating the idea, I'll note), probably during a creative push (usually like, a week where all the art concept decisions for a setting are made: clothing styles, architecture, broad categories of creature designs, that kind of thing based on the rough ideas the worldbuilding team put together). Worldbuilding Ikoria is a great article to read up on this.
Design is both the parallel and intertwined game design process and the hand off to the final artist to draw the pieces the public will see on cards.
Character is handing off the concept of a character for an author to, you know, characterize and write. Sometimes the creative team has strong feelings and a lot of guidance, sometimes the character is a broad sketch for the Author to fill in. For a new character, this can be tough because it can be where mismatches begin to arise as different writers (creative text or story authors) might take a concept in slightly different directions. Often (but not always) story, creative text, and art waves happen around the same time roughly a year out from release. This is likely what happened with Lukka, for instance, he got taken in two very slightly different directions.
That said, these things can vary a LOT. Ral Zarek, Kiora, and Nissa, for instance, were all designed for the Duels of the Planeswalkers games and had full concepts and designs and backstories before ever approaching an actual Magic card.

What the. What the actual hell. I- could somebody explain to me how the heck a throw-away blog made just over two months ago has somehow amassed 1,000 likes?
Just like last gratitude post, I’m so sorry if I seem like I’m dissatisfied or disappointed with this milestone, it’s simply because I’ve run out of ways to express how thankful I am.
😅😅😅😅😅
I’m really not sure how to express my gratitude anymore, so I’m going to begin listing all of my strongest supporters.
Yes, that’s you, @theducklord5, @aheartfullofquestions, @musicalmoritz, @frogwithaflowercrown, @blondesillyboylover, @itzyukoo, @lavender-peach-tea, @neversam, @nam-the-nacho and probably several others I am neglecting to mention (sorry! Please bear with me, my sanity’s hanging on my a thread- I’m basically running on caffeine and sugar)
I am so, so grateful to all of you for your help and patience with my spotty upload schedule, and generally low quality posts. Seriously, how do you people still support me despite my never ending struggle with constant reblogs, unoriginal ideas…
Nevertheless, I am still just in awe of this huge number. I think I’m going insane!
Now, onto the blogs that are the standard I hope to live up to, the people that are so kind, passionate, respectful, intelligent, and charismatic you sort of have to question if they’re real. (I mean that in a good way.)
I hope to have reflected some of your wonderful qualities in my own posts, and I sincerely hope you understand my pure admiration for you all.
To @god-damnit-vinne, how could I start this dedication with anybody else? The amount of charm and enthusiasm that pours out of your posts is astounding, and you are actually my first Tumblr… friend(?) Mutual? I still remember when you replied to my post, the first I had ever received- it made me so happy I spent the rest of the day smiling until my face hurt. Honestly, you are the one of the nicest guys I’ve met, period.
To @pollen-blogs, we probably aren’t exactly friends, but I do hope you remember my username. Your writing style is so clear and crisp, it makes your posts and fanfics simply fun to read! Also, your art is impeccable- truly, the whole package.
To @sakuraswifee, I am simply in awe of the amount of passion in your posts. I’m not sure if passion is the right word, but reading your posts always brings a smile to my face since you always seem to love what you’re talking about :).
To @thelunarfairy, I realize that you definitely don’t know me, but I certainly know you. Your posts and analyses are the gold standard in my mind, something all my other posts should live up to, and the way you state things makes it so easy to understand.
To @itzprismosblog, you were the second interaction I’ve had on Tumblr. You probably don’t remember, but it gave me motivation to keep posting, since at the time I was getting used to an extremely demanding new routine. Your art is stunning, and your blog never fails to make me laugh :)
To @cupidsappllie, even if your blog wasn’t one of the most entertaining I’ve seen here on Tumblr, you would probably make it here on kindness alone. If I had to shoot a guy every time you single handedly pulled me out of a posting slump, I would be arrested for murder.
To @saturnssky, my second Mutual on Tumblr. Everything on your blog feels so genuine, like I’m sitting across from you at a cafe having coffee together, and it’s this wonderful feeling of closeness that I feel really makes your blog special, and it’s something I can only hope to replicate. Additionally, you’re one of my greatest supporters, so I’m so thankful for your unending patience.
To @ocelotlesbian, merely interacting with you online has sometimes made me happier than I have been during the entire week. The way you write feels like I can hear your voice flowing through your posts, and you just seem like a nice person I’d be lucky to befriend in person.
And to all the people that didn’t get specific mentions but have still supported my blog in any way, please know I am still so thankful for everything you’ve done.
My head is still spinning from the realization that I’m not just screaming into the void anymore, people are actually seeing what I’m writing.
As always, here’s to more poor writing, badly constructed theories, and character analyses that make no sense.

![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/18dc8870f5124a83543da1150a680893/5c2d58644d8f6457-8f/s540x810/34ed065183167d41332b3bc1ca0249e21c166f16.jpg)
How does this Shakespeare Big Bang work?
A Big Bang is a fandom creation event where writers and artists collaborate to create new fanworks. Classic Big Bangs often require a minimum word count of around 50.000 words for writers, with artists claiming writing projects once first drafts or outlines exist - our Big (or Mini) Bang is going to work a little bit differently.
We want to center fun, lower the barrier for participation and spark collaboration more than anything, so:
* no minimum word count or minimum anything
* no drafts/outlines needed for the “claiming” process
* both artists and writers will put themselves out there (personal ad style) with as little or as many ideas or wishes as they have.
They can approach each other in the matching period. We might suggest matches and help where we can to make sure everyone ends up with a match.
We haven’t done this before and this setup is a bit experimental, but given that we’re a relatively small group of people, we trust that it will work out somehow and be fun.
Timeline
(subject to change as we go)
Sign-Ups Open: NOW - February 22nd
Matching Period: February 23rd - March 8th
Creation Period: March 8th - May 1st (not a hard deadline) + Regular Check-Ins
Posting: First week(s) of May
The Stages
SIGN-UP
Fill out the Google Form and let us know what you want to work on and how many projects you have time and capacity for as an artist and/or writer. All this information will be channeled into an overview over everyone who has signed up and made available to the other participants. It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist or a writer - matching will be possible in both directions. Maybe you have a concrete idea for a great image you want to draw and it inspires a writer who didn’t have a prompt so far?
Don’t worry about making your responses perfect - if you want to edit them at a later point, because you got a great new idea or you have less time than you originally thought, you can always message us and we’ll adjust!
MATCHING PERIOD
We make the “personal ads” of everyone available to all participants. Message each other on tumblr and see if you want to work together - as soon as a match is formed, let us know and we’ll lower your number of available matches or mark your “personal ad” as taken entirely and log your match. Congratulations! You’re welcome to start working on your projects whenever you’d like to!
Towards the end of the matching period we might start to talk to people individually, suggest matches or (with your consent) shout out your ideas and wishes to see if additional people want to get involved or existing participants want to take on another project. Maybe an unconventional artist-artist match makes two people happy? The world is (y)our oyster.
CREATION PERIOD
Time to write, draw, paint, collage, embroider… We’ll check in with everyone frequently on Discord and Tumblr.
If you need to drop out or lower the amount of matches you’ve committed to, let us know as early as possible so we can find new matches for people or get pinch hitters involved. Or let us know that it will simply take you a bit longer. The deadlines are supposed to help all of us have something to work towards, they’re not supposed to be an obstacle or source of stress!
POSTING
The results of our hard work will be posted on ao3 and added to a Big Bang specific collection. You’re obviously welcome to post fic links and art on tumblr as well so we can share and promote each others’ work!
We’re currently planning a posting schedule spread out over 1-3 weeks, depending on how many works we’ll end up with, but this is still subject to change.
What can I write/make art about?
Any Shakespeare play is game! Closely related stuff (like Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, Motive and the Cue) is allowed as well. It doesn’t have to be directly related to a role DT has played, but keep in mind the more obscure it gets the harder it might be to find a match!
If you’re unsure feel free to shoot us an ask or DM one of the admins (see end of post) before signing up and if you don’t have any concrete ideas yet, don’t worry! You might just find the idea you want to work on in the “personal ads” during the matching period, or you can brainstorm from scratch with your match once you’ve found each other!
We’re also hoping to get a bit of a prompt and idea economy going on this blog… Stay tuned!
How do I get on the discord server?
Once you’ve signed up via the form, send us an ask with your discord name on tumblr or DM one of the admins (see end of post) with the same account you’ve put into the sign up sheet and we’ll send you a link!
Please change your server specific name to your tumblr handle as soon as possible, so we can all find each other!
Who is behind this?
@tinysartorius, @elsinore-and-inverness, @thedemonraym @halfaninchofwater, @ancient-lesbian and @geese-villain at your service!!

more phoenix wright situations
#ace attorney tag#maybe i should tag this narumitsu or something. but i dont really care.#gearing up to rereading/illustrating bits of my fic i suppose...i think nick really is too dense to realise he's in love with edgeworth#without some scheming fop trying to intrude. i love villains like kristoph..villains can be fun..witnessing their pathetic folly..#or more like edgeworth would never have mentioned his feelings ever in his life if he wasn't sure phoenix reciprocates.#i want to see it this way because Falling in love during childhood with the person you're going to end up with. is not relatable#there have to be Situations that make you Realise.#as with orufrey i adore the idea of people not working out their romance with that person until their 30s+#but... i mean. even with orufrey i often think how alaira could be qifrey's ex. and oru having been pursued by noble fops through his work#there is that delicate sliver of time before orufrey start living together that such believable situations could have happened.#Then the relief of politely and amicably extricating themselves from those untenable situations#the idea of falling in love age 7 and saving your first kiss for age 35 or something is all very well but more relatable is#people realising how they really feel whilst trying something that ends up feeling wrong.#The comfort and joy of living with your dearest one as if it's platonic - much preferable to trying anything more with anyone else.#But i doubt i will ever portray that or mention it further. it is indeed very delicate to me.#and i really am an OTP FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kind of person who can barely bear to consider this anyway...NOT a polyshipper i'm afraid !#so i wouldn't mind either if they do have their first kiss in their lives age 35 with each other either. I would not mind that at all.#i love bi/gay couples apparently... bi father figures & their grumpy gay men waiting for them to work it all out...#not used to using colour in comic-style drawings..or at all..so this is messy and awkward looking..but colour is refreshing#i imagine i will go back to witch hat art soon btw. my destiny in life.#i still remember writing my nrmt fic expecting to write their first kiss & then partway through twas like Umm No. They have kissed prior.#does that really line up with this comic though... i think i had their early dinner dates/first kiss BEFORE disbarment.#so i guess this comic doesn't line up with my ficverse.... No..... U___U Oh well. sorry kris! <3

honestly the only difference you need to know about mirror’s edge versus mirror’s edge: catalyst is that in order to play mirror’s edge, i have to dig out my xbox 360, cords and cables, hook it up, hit it a few times to get it running, and hope the disc still reads. and to play catalyst, i just pull it up on my ps4. and i still feel the urge to replay mirror’s edge a dozen times a year while i haven’t touched catalyst since i finished it.
#im touching it now obviously because I Want Trophy#but if not for that very external motivator. no. i dont think i would.#its not even a Bad game its just sort of. well! okay! cool experience! i don’t want to have it again that much!#the open world is. nice i guess? it really is impressive that they put all of that together and you can basically run from any point on the#map to another without losing your flow. but like. okay. i dont want to be doing that though.#i want to be playing mirror’s edge not freestyle parkour simulator.#the level design in the original mirror’s edge is so fucking fantastic it really boggles the mind. and then catalyst is. well. some of the#levels are pretty cool i guess.#cannot emphasize enoufh how much this game is just Fine. its just Fine. its a Fine game. i want to kill whoever made the dashes and the#random missions in the open world though.#that might just be a personal thing but they’re just not fun. they’re too disconnected too open. mirror’s edge one is Tight.#mirror’s edge catalyst is loose enough that i keep getting lost even when i have runner vision on.#which probably would not be a problem in any other game that didnt have the art style of mirror’s edge. where everything looks the same On#Purpose to draw attention to your rebellion against the corporate status quo. nice idea! great in game 1! a fucking nightmare in an open#world where i can’t find any fucking landmarks to orient myself by! all the buildings look the same!!!!!

How was their first kiss like?
(huge fan of you AU and art style<3)

First kiss? Spidey's (and Wade's) brain go out the window.
Unfortunately, most of Peter's body is poison. :(
I decided to combo the questions and there's an explanation under the cut.
Peter produces venom both on demand but also unconsciously when he's excited/high on adrenaline etc.
When he's producing venom, it mixes into his saliva and acts like a neurotoxin, which can produce intense highs that can quickly tip over into oversensitivity and pain.
His mouth is EXTREMELY sensitive because of this. Wade's skin is like the fourth of july for his brain.
Prolonged internal exposure (kissing/oral/licking a cut/etc) creates a headrush that leaves most normal people unconscious. Skin to saliva contact is just tingly.
(Making out for long periods of time/oral with MJ was NOT on the table- which had MJ coming to wrong conclusions.)
His blood is straight up poison. Would not recommend ingesting. (Don't eat brightly colored spiders, kids!)
His sweat is so negligible as to be be unnoticeable- unless you're wringing towels into your mouth.
His semen also produces intense sensation- mostly oversensitivity, that can be incredibly pleasurable, but can also tip into pain and paralysis for most people. Peter has no idea his semen can do this- because he's never experimented with it (always a condom. ALWAYS).
Because Wade has an incredible healing factor, as well as extensive nerve damage and scarring, he doesn't experience the negative aspects of Peter's venom. A big enough dosage could cause paralysis and death, but it's also going to have to be a WAY bigger hit than Spiderman would normally apply.
This is a super fun learning experience for them both!
Once again, thank you so much for all the support and the asks, it's been so fun figuring Peter's venom out and finding ways to play with him!

hi, i ireally love your work and i don't know if you've answered this before but, what kinds of studies do you do or how did you learn color theory? i wanna get better at rendering and anatomy but im having trouble TT TT
Hi! Long answer alert. Once a chatterbox, always a chatterbox.
When I started actively learning how to draw about 10 1/2 years ago, I exclusively did graphite studies in sketchbooks. Here's a few examples—I mostly stuck to doing line drawings to drill basic shapes/contours and proportions into my brain. The more rendered sketches helped me practice edge control & basic values, and they were REALLY good for learning the actual 3D structure behind what I was drawing.
I'd use reference images that I grabbed from fitness forums, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, and some NSFW places, but you could find adequate ref material from figure drawing sites like Line of Action. LoA has refs for people (you can filter by clothed/unclothed, age, & gender), animals, expressions, hands/feet, and a few other useful things as well. Love them.
Learning how to render digitally was a similar story; it helped a lot that I had a pretty strong foundation for value/anatomy going in. I basically didn't touch color at all for ~2 years (except for a few attempts at bad digital or acrylic paint studies), which may not have been the best idea. I learned color from a lot of trial and error, honestly, and I'm pretty sure this process involved a lot of imitation—there were a number of digital/traditional painters whose styles I really wanted to emulate (notably their edge control, color choices, value distributions, and shape design), so I kiiind of did a mixture of that + my own experimentation.
For example, I really found Benjamin Björklund's style appealing, especially his softened/lost edges & vibrant pops of saturated color, so here's a study I did from some photograph that I'm *pretty* sure was painted with him in mind.
Learning how to detail was definitely a slow process, and like all the aforementioned things (anatomy/color/edge control/values/etc.) I'm still figuring it out. Focusing on edge control first (that is, deciding on where to place hard/soft edges for emphasizing/de-emphasizing certain areas of the image) is super useful, because you can honestly fool a viewer into thinking there's more detail in a piece than there actually is if you're very economical about where you place your hard edges.
The most important part, to me, is probably just doing this stuff over and over again. You're likely not going to see improvement in a few weeks or even a few months, so don't fret about not getting the exact results you want and just keep studying + making art. I like to think about learning art as a process where you *need* to fail and make crappy art/studies—there's literally no way around it—so you might as well fail right now. See, by making bad art you're actually moving forward—isn't that a fun prospect!!
It's useful to have a folder with art you admire, especially if you can dissect the pieces and understand why you like them so much. You can study those aspects (like, you can redraw or repaint that person's work) and break down whether this is art that you just like to look at, or if it's the kind of art that you want to *make.* There's a LOT of art out there that I love looking at, probably tens of thousands of styles/mediums, but there's a very narrow range that I want to make myself.
I've mentioned it in some ask reply in the past, but I really do think looking at other artist's work is such a cheat code for improving your own skills—the other artist does the work to filter reality/ideas for you, and this sort of allows you to contact the subject matter more directly. I can think of so many examples where an artist I admired exaggerated, like, the way sunlight rested on a face and created that orange fringe around its edge, or the greys/dull blues in a wheat field, or the bright indigo in a cast shadow, or the red along the outside of a person's eye, and it just clicked for me that this was a very available & observable aspect of reality, which had up until that point gone completely unnoticed! If you're really perceptive about the art you look at, it's shocking how much it can teach you about how to see the world (in this particular case I mean this literally, in that the art I looked at fully changed the way I visually processed the world, but of course it has had a strong effect on my worldviews/relationships/beliefs).
Thanks so much for sending in a question (& for reading, if you got this far)! I read every single ask I receive, including the kind words & compliments, which I genuinely always appreciate. Best of luck with learning, my friend :)

The Princes
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cb3d3b23bc896eb1473a7ada7ca9854b/2df906f42177029a-c6/s540x810/2de9e24e130f6567adce2787b3b122a63465820c.jpg)
Ten years later. When marrying a Prince turns a Queen and a Servant into actual Royalties.
Because Vil deserves a real crown and Jamil deserves to be treated better.
NOW I'M GONNA RANT ABOUT MY CHARA DESIGNS CHOICES AND ALL THE DISCOVERIES I MADE WHILE LOOKING FOR REFS! If you only care about art and funny doodles, you can scroll down for a handful of slices of life.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5ba535a75cdca783fa64357ed20d7395/2df906f42177029a-8f/s540x810/4ac175e4e4c921e1986c095fcd04917698a885de.jpg)
(Don't worry if you can't read my notes, I'm repeating myself better right under this)
Leona
-Lion: As you may know, one of my grievances with Leona is how his hair doesn't look like an actual mane despite being a lion. While I don't want to stray too far from the canon design with the usual drawings, that's the occasion for me to have some fun with a future version. Give that lion a beard and voluminous hair!
-Hair: First, get those bangs out of his face. Despite Leona being very confident, he still has bangs covering his scarred eye. I wanted him to finally own the aspects of him that may be scary to others (his UM, his scar, etc). I actually went with bangs framing his face similar to the ones he had during his Overblot. I wasn't sure whether to give him dreadlocks or curly hair, but I ended up choosing the free curls decorated with some atebas and braids so that Vil could have more fun styling them.
-Eye: Thanks @aria-faye for the idea, I decided to have his eye gradually lose its capacities with time. From a headcanon that, while the eye wasn't directly touched by whatever attack scarred him, the process of healing still had an impact on it and he gradually lost sight in his left eye years after years.
-Body: Not giving him a dad bod (yet, maybe in another ten years), but definitely giving him more voluminous yet casual muscles. Practical muscles with a healthy dose of fat and tissues. Also giving him two full sleeves of tattoos because I decided he should have much more than just his lion tattoo.
-Clothes: Went full Maasai dressing and Kenyan fabrics and beadworks. If you're not familiar with it, please go check it out, it's GORGEOUS!! Crown is beadwork too. He also has one Arabic styled foot jewellery.
Jamil
-Hair: My first order was to remove his double-faced hairstyle and also remove his bangs from his eye. Make him confident enough to show his whole face. Unlike Leona and Vil, he doesn't really want a crown though (he still feels weird about becoming royalty) so instead he uses a braid as crown. Also gave him a little goatee because I like facial hair and Jafar has a beard too.
-Body: He grew up! While he didn't quite catch up with Leona and Vil, he is now closer to their sizes than before, sitting at around 180cm. He kept his breakdancer/martial artist lean muscles but developed a bit of shoulders.
-Clothes: Went full Arabic dressing and fabrics (once more, go check the fabrics, they are pieces of arts). I gave him floral motifs instead of his usual fire/snake motifs (though he does have a snake earring and a fangs necklace) to symbolise his rebirth/blooming. Like Leona, he has one piece of jewellery that is beadwork.
Vil
-Hair: Here it was a bit tricky. Considering Vil's work, he likely changes hairstyles a lot, going from long to short for his roles instead of his wants. So I leaned into the little things he could add to his hair despite their constant changes, mostly jewelleries, beadworks and wool decorations he stole from his husbands. He also cares a bit less about them looking perfect and is allowing himself to be more natural. He doesn't have any facial hair (yet), keeping a youthful appearance for as long as he can. In another ten years though, he might start looking more and more like his father, beard included.
-Clothes: For Leona and Jamil's mental states, the three of them most likely started living in Sunset Savanna so they wouldn't freeze to death. Vil is well traveled so he can handle most temperatures without trouble, and he is used to dressing up in the local get ups. Here I decided to give him both African dress and Arabic fabric, and likewise both beadwork and golden jewellery. I gave him crown and heart motifs so he can keep being himself despite borrowing a lot from his husbands.
There, I'm done rambling. Here's some doodles, followed by some random headcanons.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/90908706c9130817adae328e54e6c039/2df906f42177029a-8b/s540x810/1a1104f952b331a33186f1f06609ee3d46aa5410.jpg)

![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/57f1e8abbe0d1cd13db49916e46ad9c7/2df906f42177029a-09/s540x810/dd001edc0943c66664a2e64056ed3bd1c444ba46.jpg)

-Vil does his husbands hair every morning and keeps giving them more and more intricate hairstyles. He developed a whole haircare and beard-care products set for them.
-When Vil is away for a movie, Jamil keeps his hair mostly down save for a few accessories.
-Jamil and Falena get along surprisingly well (to Leona's despair). Vil gets along very well with Falena's wife.
-Jamil acts as a Scalding Sands ambassador and still is the one to care for Kalim when he comes to visit, though this time he's doing it because he wants to and not because he has to.
-Vil got used to his new title immediately but Jamil struggles with it a lot. He still has a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that he is no longer a servant.
-The servants at the palace love Jamil because he always makes their job easier.
-Leona finally decided to put his wits to good use and became Falena's advisor. He still fights a lot with Kifaji about the direction to take with the country, but he managed to make some of his ideas heard to help with the staggering inequalities in the country.
That's all for now!
#so... that's officially my longest piece to date#this one took me nearly 10 hours#and I'm considering doing a colored version because Arabic and Kenyan fabrics are so beautiful I swear#won't happen in a while tho#mello's drawings#n2 squad#jamil viper#leona kingscholar#vil schoenheit#javil#leojami#leovil#twisted wonderland#twst#art#my art#analysis#Future!N2

Venus ♀ Conjunct Planets/Points
Venus Conjunct Ascendant
You have a pleasant and friendly personality that other people find attractive and alluring. You possess physical appeal, a charming nature, sophistication and a good fashion sense; all of which favor you socially. You may have artistic talents; you will certainly have an appreciation of the arts and culture. You have good taste and an eye for style and design.
Venus Conjunct Sun
You have a natural charm that others find attractive. Your warmth and affection are contagious and endearing to other people. You have strong powers of personal attraction and welcome the intimacy of individual relationships. Innately creative, you have the ability to develop artistic flair and an aesthetic sense. You appreciate beauty and refinement in all its forms.
Venus Conjunct Moon
You have a refined nature, with an appreciation of the finer things in life including the arts and culture. You are charming with an instinct for the subtleties of social interaction. You have artistic potential, especially in painting, photography or music. You love beauty, have a good fashion sense and enjoy the good life (fine food and wine). Your home is likely to be tastefully decorated and artistically arranged. In love, you desire tenderness and the need to feel emotionally connected to your partner.
Venus Conjunct Mars
You have a sensual and passionate nature, with a strong need for emotional and sexual experiences. You express your feelings ardently, especially in personal relationships. You have strong desires and can be romantically assertive or even aggressive. In love, the thrill of the chase is often more exciting than the outcome. You are drawn to sexually magnetic people who are aware of their own sexuality and will occasionally form unions based solely on physical attraction. There can be a tendency to seek sexual gratification and then move on. A "love 'em and leave 'em" attitude is not unknown to people with this planetary pairing. Difficulties in love are possible through flirtatious behaviour or infidelity, obviously. Possibly, you may be creative or artistic.
Venus Conjunct Mercury
Your thoughts are more often than not on love and relationships. You need to share your ideas and affections with those who are close to you. You have a pleasant manner and easily interact with others. You enjoy social activity and are good company because of your sense of fun. You have a creative intellect and an eye for beauty and artistic design. You may also have talents as a speaker or writer.
Venus Conjunct Jupiter
This is a very desirable aspect to have in a chart because it brings social and worldly benefits and facilitates successful relationships with others. Warm-hearted and sociable, you are popular with other people because of your readiness to give generously. You have a pleasant and affectionate nature, which people find attractive and appealing. Romantic encounters are generally positive and happy and artistic ability is evident. You know how to enjoy yourself, however, you can be prone to self-indulgence, sensuality or wastefulness. There can also be an inclination toward laziness.
Venus Conjunct Saturn
Regarding matters of the heart, you are cautious and inclined to put practical considerations before romantic desires. You have a tendency to exercise self-control in love, perhaps at the expense of emotional satisfaction and spontaneity. People generally need to earn your trust before you allow them to get too close. Yet, once trust is established, you are very loyal and steadfast. You view relationships seriously and value stability and fidelity in love. You are attracted to people older than yourself and respect their life experience and maturity. At times, you enjoy time alone and are content in your own company. Alternatively, you can be emotionally cool and indifferent, even hardhearted and cold. There may be difficulties in expressing affection and discomfort with intimacy. You can be inhibited and lack self-confidence in love, resulting in periods of loneliness or forced abstinence. (Note: artistic excellence is sometimes found with this planetary pairing due to the discipline required for high art).
Venus Conjunct Uranus
Irrespective of how much you like or love another, you will not allow your independence to be compromised. You rebel against commitment and emotional pressure from others, or being made to feel obligated to meet their romantic expectations of you. Instead, you thrive on change and variety in love and are attracted to the unusual and exotic in others. Conventional and routine relationships tend to drive you to distraction. You are demonstrative and expressive in your feelings and spontaneous with your affections. Adventurous and receptive to new experiences, you are fun to be with and open to experimentation. Artistically, you appreciate anything that is modern, original and unique.
Venus Conjunct Neptune
Good taste, refinement and artistic appreciation or talent is the promise of this planetary pairing. You have a keen sense of beauty, coupled with creative imagination and inspiration. You may develop a talent for music, dance, drama, poetry, painting or photography. Emotionally, you are highly romantic and inclined to dream and wish for perfect love. In regard to matters of the heart, you are idealistic, a bit ungrounded and susceptible to seducing influences. There is a danger of poor judgement in love and difficulties in relationships caused through deception.
Venus Conjunct Pluto
There is no middle ground in your romantic life; you are either committed to another or not. So deep are your feelings that you can experience love and hate with equal force. In love, you expect to give and receive total loyalty. From time to time you enter into fateful unions. Serious problems can occur in relationships through power struggles, secretiveness and jealousy.
Venus Conjunct Rahu
It is important for you to establish and maintain harmony in your relationships. You have the ability to make others feel at ease and relaxed in your company. Possessing charm and good taste, you prefer the company of cultured and refined people. You tend to cultivate friendships with creative people and move in artistic circles. Popular and well-liked, you enjoy an active social life and have many opportunities for love.
Venus Conjunct Midheaven
You are a warm-hearted and loving individual. Status in your career is important to you and vocational successes are likely in creative occupations or the arts. You have a unique sense of style and have quite individualistic fashion tastes and preferences. You have high expectations in love and, at some point in your life, will experience a love union that all others are measured by.
