LATEtober - Day 10 : Parent by Szczurzyslawa

[tolstoy-the-fox]

Holy shit, I actually do art?! I’ve always loved the Adam Jensen look, and it actually inspired one of my first pieces of Konstantyn. Robotic arms, black trench coat, automatic sunglasses, and sword arms. What’s there not to like? Tried a different, more sketchy style with this one (as can clearly be seen). It was a short piece that I didn’t actually intend to color, but I was trying stuff out, and said ‘why not?’ More art soon. Definitely more Deus Ex-inspired stuff, too.

Konstantyn: 20, 87

20. Fears? -I guess his problem was he didn’t fear enough so

87. What is their age? -He was born around 1940s-50s!

Oh, can you answer #38? for any OC you like!

38. What would your character do with a million dollars?

Ah money - the maker and murderer of many. I guess I’ll use Yannic, Berric and Konstantyn (and we’ll just assume this is the 19th century equivalent to having 1 million dollars - or not and they’ve just become the richest mofos).

Yannic getting a million dollars would be an interesting for a whole host of reasons. There’s the fact that nominally, he’s a smuggler because of financial concerns, but the truth is he’s sort of a risk-taker. He could have, after all, abandoned his pride and gone home where he would have lived in luxury comparable to someone with 1M in change to their name but he turned to a life of crime instead.

He’s also very motivated to help people, however. So likely, he would leave the smuggling life (or, leave the actual smuggling bit and become a purveyor of smuggled goods) and integrate into the magic community as a benefactor of sorts.

Bring Dee into consideration, he might try and leave “the life” for a while but it wouldn’t last long and would probably end up as outlined above.

Berric would retire on the spot, return to England, buy the farm his family works and create some sort of exporting empire so his 7 children, wife and parents would never have to till the earth again. He would be very careful though, as he does have 7 children and so has to be practical about money.

The reason he wouldn’t be tempted back like Yannic due to how he became a smuggler - for Berric he left home very young to help cover his grandfather’s debts, and has never been able to get out. This would be the perfect exit for him for sure.

Lastly Konstantyn. Konstantyn could go so many ways. Either he immediately hired mercenaries and invades his brother to regain his Duchy; manages to somehow spend it all through a combination of drunken philanthropy, drunken investing and drunken gambling; some combination of the two or, more likely than you’d think; is convinced to wisely invest it and manages to accrue wealth enough to just buy a new Duchy; start some sort of school for magical children like an in-universe X-academy thing (but is more geared towards giving them any education at all).

Basically Konstantyn is very fiscally responsible...with other people’s money. With his own, he has a long standing inability to resist his own urges. He’s particularly bad about gambling - because I can effortlessly cheat at card games. Of the three, he’s the only one who cannot leave the magical community and thus leave criminality with ease, and he wouldn’t try. However, despite that he’s not as self centered as he was at one point. So really, I guess it depends on when he gets it. Right after losing the Duchy? Drunkness ahoy. A few years later? Army! After - hard to say, just that he’d likely spend it somehow.

Trying to get back into the swing of drawing and figured these two were a good choice of subject. Immovable Grump meets Unstoppable Optimist. Art and characters are mine :) P.S: Big shoutout to @roxirinart for her very helpful shading tutorial.
