I got this wonderful reply from @futicovii on this drawing I did of the gang as kids/teens and I needed more space than a simple tumblr reply to, well, reply!
I drew that piece back in 2019 so a lot has changed about my headcanons since, especially after Lupin Zero came out.
My headcanon ages for them right now: Lupin: 38 Jigen: 38 Goemon: 29 Fujiko: 41 Zenigata: 43
There was a movie or tv special where Zenigata had said he'd been chasing Lupin for 20 years and I really latched on to that, thinking well if say Lupin was 18 when Zenigata was first assigned to his case then Lupin's in his late 30s now. I'm completely content that Zenigata wasn't in Zero and I really love the idea that there's been some time between Zero and Zenigata.
Goemon's always going to be the youngest of the group to me, so my drawings of him as a child will always be small and cute!
I'm still drawing a lot of Lupin and posting art weekly here for free! And while I can't usually take free requests, here's a really quick sketch of Lupin II holding babyArsène for ya!
I'll draw Niisei but I probably won't ever draw any other parents, that just doesn't interest me. But I did really like Lupin II in Zero! He was really fun!
Thank you for your kind words, it's comments like this that really keep me going and making fun art!
