someone wanted to see my takes on their parents after my comic about them, soooo...
Ludwig, with his parents Johann and Helene von Koopa. They've already been named in the comic itself.
Obviously, Johann is based on the actual father of Ludwig van Beethoven.
Helene is based on Helene von Breuning, someone Ludwig van Beethoven referred to as his "second mother" because of how she shaped his career in a more favorable light.
Larry and his parents LonLon and Margaret Koopa.
Larry is lazy, so what better to model his parents after spoiled folk who rose to the top and generally made things worse for others?
Morton and his parents Morton Koopa Sr. and Mamorton.
It's basically how they're depicted in the comic, though with color added to them. Mamorton is pink because the two are designed to be ridiculously simple male/female palette swaps.
I'm sure they don't actually look like that if I didn't account for the comic, but this is a funnier outcome.
Iggy and his parents Murdoc and Ren Koopa.
Murdoc is modeled after... well, Murdoc from Gorillaz, while Ren is modeled after Ron Asheton from The Stooges, the band where Iggy's namesake, Iggy Pop, comes from.
Spiritually, I wanted Iggy's birth to feel like an accident between two band members who never really wanted a child but had to balance between him and their music career. Keyword "had."
Murdoc Koopa doesn't necessarily have to be a Koopa. He could just be the actual Murdoc from Gorillaz who fucked a turtle before abandoning his son for the army.
that's all i could design last night based on my comic. might add Roy soon.
not thinking of Wendy and Lemmy's parents at the moment because of them working at the circus in that comic. i'm leaning on the two being separate orphans who got adopted into the circus, but idk the circumstances.
