Realized I never posted this one: @octokracken, @thesandlorde and I made a Lupin OC together and it's Jigen's mom!

I just answered an ask about her on my personal so I had to be sure these sketches were up!

Have some boys

Back at it with some new sketchdumps of Lupin art after collecting all of the stuff I’ve done since June. I’ve been on a roll for a few months and haven’t been able to stop.

Does jigen’s mum know he’s a criminal or does she think he’s just like a bodyguard or something?

She knows but doesn't bring it up.

He left when he was in his late teens and she had no idea if he was alive beyond getting weird lumps of money in the mail occasionally, these never had return addresses.

25 years later she sees him while watching a live broadcast of one of Lupin's heists. He's got a new name and facial hair but she knows it's him.

She gets in contact with Zenigata immediately after and gets him to give her every bit of information he has about Jigen.

-chinhands- Got thoughts about Jigen's mom, you said?

Yes! Okay so a few years ago @octokracken, @thesandlorde and I were brainstorming about Jigen's mom and now she has so much lore.

I posted some art and doodles of her over on my art blog

We had been thinking about transJigen which led to us wanting him to have family who was supportive as trans people ourselves we gotta fantasize y'know?

So Jigen's mom: - Is a Japanese immigrant who moved to New York - Married Jigen's dad, who was American-Italian - Dad left early on, Jigen doesn't remember him - She became a single mother to Jigen & his sister (who's mentioned briefly in the manga) - I like to think Jigen's sister is older than he is - They lived in a tiny house in New York City - Jigen left when he was in his late teens - Mom didn't know if he was alive or not - Jigen came back home with Lupin in tow at some point - Reconnected with his mom - She's supportive of him being trans and got used calling him "son" right away - She calls him every week and they get along well - They're very similar personality-wise - Stoic and tries not to show her feelings too often - Is very intimidating despite her small stature - Takes judo classes every week - Dislikes Lupin but tolerates him for Jigen's sake - Likes Goemon, Zenigata and Fujiko a lot!
