R O Y A L T Y

This one's been a long time coming. Two years I spent working on these character renders and these pieces and that's two years between other commission work and life's curveballs. And to say I'm beyond happy I finished is an understatement.

These five characters are the Royals, a set of characters from the Main Triverse iteration of my massive Disney fan project, "Stitch Triverse". Within Main Triverse, the Royals are considered (obviously by the name) royalty and the concept hails from the Auros system, a sister system to that of Turo. The princes, princesses and even just royalty who are seen as this have been aligned with the Federation via treaty and therefore serve as higher figures of authority within the canon (in a similar order to, say, the Grand Councilwoman).

Also in a way, the Royals also represent a big slice of my fandom journey within the "Lilo & Stitch" franchise. Yaiko Galaxia (the flaxen hair) is one of my main OCs, even prevalent as my main blog's avatar (as per a Skeb commission by @/ningukt) and if it wasn't for creating my moody flaxen haired kid, I think I wouldn't have Triverse as massively sprawled out and as intricately developed as I would have.

So this is a tribute to five of the characters I consider closest to me. Five pieces of me given to the L&S masses alongside an even bigger project intended for many to create within its realms:

To Yaiko Galaxia, the intrepid "Innoventor". ✨

To Mako Eikochino, the shy heart alive in the sea. 🌊

To Mimi Hiromi, the powerhouse of flowers. 🌸

To Elle Vulcania, the tomboy heart ablaze. 🔥

To Keiko Hubrect, imaginative idol and creative soul. 🐉

This one's for you. Included is a merged poster and then five individual character posters~

Why are lesbian ships just so dang heartwarming to me? Like, seriously, you make one of your own and then all you wanna do is just draw them together and make them happy. A lot.

Mako Eikochino and Mimi Hiromi are one such pairing for me from the expansive “Stitch Triverse” fan series, two Royals (in Main Triverse, what are a form of a galactic royalty from the Auros system, a sister star system nearby Turo’s own) who start their journey as good friends on their own, but over time, develop feelings for one another as strong as the Jadesunian’s strength. Mako is a shy, but impulsive princess who hails from water planet Neptus, harbouring a love for the deep briny blue unlike anyone. Her ability in and with water’s unlike most youngsters, but this is widely due to her upbringing as a Neptusian. Meanwhile, Mimi is an uppity and peppy soul from Jadesun, a rainforest planet. Mimi is a soul who always loves adventure and is most akin to Pleakley with how much Earth media she’s consumed. Jadesunians are known for their strength, while they may look incredibly pudgy and big boned (yes, it is a throwback to Chris Sanders’ original art style in a way), don’t be alarmed when they can level skyscrapers and mountains with their hands. It’s always been a mission statement of mine within Triverse to expand out the alien life in the L&S realms and some of the humanoid races the Royals take on have been helping me do that 100%. And yes, your honor, this does include Mako and Mimi here.

Here’s three pieces of these two together from this and last year: one’s a nice date scene, one a beach scene and the last an 80s-themed piece~
