OOOOPS I FORGOT TO POST THIS BEFORE SEASON 2 š¦ Let them still be a bit lovey dovey in my fantasies before Netflix crushes my dreams...šæ
Also, big thanks to the lovely and talented @trinketiers who provided our server with this adorable t&b merch pic that I shamelessly used as reference!! š
Itās more of a concept than an AU, I guess? (I donāt want this to be an AU, I canāt imagine a Kotetsu without Tomoe and Kaede omg no. And without his old hero suit? NEVER.)
Anyway, I just thought it would be funny to swap their roles even though it ultimately doesnāt change their dynamic AT ALL bwahaha Guess I only wanted an excuse to draw Kotetsu beardless - I already miss it, honestly - as well as a veteran Barnaby, bitter and older. He ended up looking kinda evil tooā¦ but then young Barnaby also looked evil at times, didnāt he?
I saw this amazing Professor Layton parody of the āI want my hat backā book by afuturegentlemanĀ It was so great that I had to draw one with TB characters too.
big taibani dump of several months of doodles bc i cant be bothered to make separate posts lol
the last three images are an au where apollon doesnt buy out topmag and kotetsu becomes a free agent/vigilante. it involves a lot of nightly clandestine rooftop meetings :^)
