Part 3 "The boy from Nowhere"
Headcanon
Dusty isn't a good swearer, but he's a good analyst, so in arguments he simply copies the swearing style of those around him, and only the most effective ones. He was that very child around whom you absolutely mustn't say "bad words." He'll remember everything and then write it down in a secret notebook. For future.
I can't draw realistically, but I keep trying. And also...I love Phos, I love Phos, I love Phos, I'm Dia kinnie
PS: While I was drawing, at one point I accidentally made a mistake in the layers and... damn, it looked so cool that I couldn't resist and took a screen
The boy from nowhere.Part 2
Prologue. The Boy from Nowhere.
PS: I was a little late because of my school graduation, but I'm back in the game. This AU is going to live!
Old times
Survey
I'm thinking about how to further develop my AU
Continue posting random short sketches, memes and dialogues
Start developing the storyline. It will center around Thrax and his life journey
Today's art is not ready yet. I'm in the middle of rendering and now I'm really stuck :'(
About growing up
Young viruses emerge in large groups and are independent from their very first days. They are small and somewhat awkward-looking, but they already possess sharp claws and a dangerous toxin that is in no way inferior to that of adult viruses.
It's also worth noting that the lifespan of viruses differs significantly from that of other inhabitants of the microbiome. They mature at roughly the same rate, but after reaching maturity, they show virtually no aging.
Therefore, virus populations are regulated by strict natural selection. Of several hundred, only a dozen will survive to maturity, and of those, only one will be able to reproduce.
In the dark
In my AU, Thrax has softened up a bit, but he's still a virus and looks terrifying.
Have you noticed something? His eyes always stay bright no matter the lighting, except for a couple of scenes where they're dimmed slightly to emphasize the glow of his claw. They glow! I just added some light reflection to make them look more like real predators.

I saw a meme on TikTok and couldn't ignore it.
It will also help me better understand my characters from Thrax's backstory.
Mr. Hepatitis (real name — Samuel) isn't a sprinter—leave that to the others. He doesn't aim to kill as quickly as possible; no, he lives in the body for years, strengthening his influence. He's not a killer per se; he's a businessman who takes everything from life, and even more than he needs. Together with his sister, he owns a an elite club in liver, gradually depleting its resources with their extravagance.
However, let's not forget that it is still a rather dangerous virus that bribed police officers, could go too far with employees, and caused many problems for the body.
Mrs. Hepatitis (real name Marionella), despite being unable to travel from person to person on her own, without her brother's help, is more aggressive. Just like with him, her goal isn't to kill a person; she doesn't care at all. She's less tolerant of cells, bacteria, and other organisms than her brother, preferring the company of viruses exclusively. In their tandem, he negotiates, she threatens.
Thrax's mentor. HIV. (Real name: Lefou). Killing is a job for him. He's usually hired by viruses or bacteria to eliminate immune cells, and less often, competitors. He doesn't care who he shoots; what matters is the difficulty of the task and how much they're willing to pay him. However, he also has principles. He doesn't kill without reason or for his own benefit. Not for reputation, not for fame, not for fun.
This is the adult version of Thrax, and there are significant differences from the child version. Yes, of course, he will have a redemption arc, but... if you look at it that way, this assessment is absolutely fair. His main goal was to gain fame and reputation. He is a 100% sprinter, focused solely on killing people and causing as many casualties as possible. He literally enjoyed killing and seeing death. However, he still falls a little short of the mark. He lacks... perversion.
And finally, the top of the list. Rabies. (Real name – Ies). He simply enjoys bringing suffering to the world. Over his long life, and he's already elderly even by viral standards, Ies has gained considerable influence and authority and used it to the fullest. This is the same guy who deliberately provokes other pathogens to attack, and then runs first to surrender his "friends" to the immune system. The same guy who, in an alley, whispers to a young white blood cell that somewhere between the lobes of the spleen there's a small cache of glucose that adults don't tell children about so as not to share. The same guy who changes his interests and opinions only to lull the vigilance of his interlocutor.
He was born with serious mental disorder, and those around him turned a blind eye to his progressive inclinations.

Trust him. "He's a good man now. There's no point in handcuffing him."
Reflections
I keep pondering the details of Osmosis Jones universe. Yes, we know that cells and bacteria can age, and pills have expiration dates. But what about viruses? On the one hand, I want to write how all four heroes (Ozzy, Drix, Leah, and Thrax) will grow old happily together. (Yes, in my AU, Thrax survives, a near-death experience changes Frank for the better and he begins to care more about himself for the sake of his daughter, and Ozzy and Drix don't get into Hector via a mosquito.) However, on the other...more realistic and sadder side, Thrax will likely outlive all his friends...
What do you think?
Comic: "Meet Mr. Pure Evil"
I: Hi, Leah! Oh, what a beauty has graced me with her presence again. Come in, I'll bring something for the table, you know my door is always open for you.
L: Thank you for your hospitality, but I'm in a hurry today.
I: What a pity, have you been overloaded with work again? It's time you learned to stand up for your own interests, otherwise they'll profit from you.
L: I know, I know.
I: By the way, are you wearing a new necklace? I haven't seen it on you before. Nice choice, it accentuates your neck nicely.
L: Really? I bought it at a boutique in the heart area not long ago. You're the first to notice. Are you planning on leaving anytime soon? Your visa is valid until the end of the year.
I: No, I'm planning on staying here for now.
L: Great. Then sign the briefing. The rules haven't changed much. Flu season is approaching, have you noticed any suspicious activity?
I: Not really, a rhinovirus friend of mine said they'll be a bit late this year, there have been some... minor differences between strains, but I still recommend stepping up your security. Yesterday, when I was returning home from shopping, a strange guy followed me down an alley...
I: The clock was around 10 pm...
I: Then I heard someone's footsteps behind me.
L: And what happened next..?
I: I got home, cooked something to eat, ate it with pleasure, and then started sorting out my new things.
I: Look at this wonderful belt! What do you say?
L: Hmm...pretty...high-quality work, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Of course, it's a bit creepy for my taste, or maybe I'm just clueless about viral fashion trends... I think...it would go well with the shirt.
Okay, I have to go now. Bye.
The door closed, leaving the virus alone.
I: Poor girl, such a hard worker, but she still has so much to learn to finally enter the elite circle. Me... wearing a fake? - Never.
