Unfinished sketch of katakuri with tiny Luffy in his pocket from @botan-kiri 's fic where my sunshine goes that I prolly won't finish because I cannot draw katakuri for the life of me and I just realized that after I start drawing his abs

Beetle Brothers Comic

Chapter 1

WOW!!!! this took a long-ass time, literally ive been working on it on and off for over a year now, and i have a lot more for it, but i wanted to post this on my biiirthdayyyy!!! Eveyone has to wish me a happy birthday or else im not making the upcoming chapters~

i dont know when im gonna get the rest of it posted, but this comic is the main reason why a couple wittb hiatuses happened lol

I'm gonna work on the next part of this little by little so that my attention is focused on wittb for now. i prob couldve gotten more of this done if i hadn't went on vaca but whhhatevaaa~ (or if i didnt have to work but i dont have control over that) besides, I'm sure if i had used that full time draw it, my hand would be attatched to my wrist with duct tape, a dream and a prayer. Even with what i have now, it look me about 51 hours to complete, crasy.

Most of the time I spent working on this went to figuring out angles of hats, pipes, background, and face angles. Bashing my head against a wall over those.

I'm takin it easy now however! i am bummed that i didn't get to The Goods in this post though.

Everyday of my life. I appreciate those ones that make me happy.

really lazy quick sketches of luffy and his parents bc i haven’t posted in forever lol (yes i believe in the crocomom theory) i hc luffy actually looks a lot like crocodile so

also i think dragon would have been a good father

Y'know this scene in Lion King where they hold Simba to show him to everyone? It's Sabo with Luffy in the baby luffy au. Don't matter if Luffy is 1, 5, 7 or even 10 years old, he WILL do this so everyone see this extremely cute child who he calls baby brother. (He definitely did it to show Luffy to Koala, Hack and Ivankov at some point)

YEAH. YES

oooo have you considered makino or dadan carrying babylu around in one of those baby wraps (for convenience's sake, of course) and ace and sabo seeing that and wanting to try it out?

i think they'd demand (beg) makino to teach them how to safely carry baby luffy in a sling, but i dunno how good of an idea it is to have ten year olds carry a ten month old with no handswhwkaakswvnkshmwk

assuming nothing terrible happens to a certain noble boy, maybe once they're a little older they can. a prelude to the endless piggyback rides :]

my goodness. they don’t know what they’re doing but they’re sure as hell gonna try

The baby luffy au has a safe spot on my heart already omygoood 😭❤

I have 2 younger siblings, one being born when I was 6 years old and the other when I was 11 yo. Seeing luffy being so much younger than Ace and Sabo just makes me remember my baby brothers when toddlers <333

So I am here to drop some hc that are based on thing my brothers did!

• my brothers used to make drawing of me with "I love you" write on the paper, they were hard to discover what the drawing was but everytime they would say "Sis! It's you!" and my heart would melt

• they used to talk in the way that only toddlers can, hard as hell to understand but totally cute, and always hugging me while talking

• my youngest brother is totally cling even if he's now 12, and always have been, to a point where he would hug my leg and not let me walk properly, laughing as if I wasn't almost stumbling

hey, i also have a big sister that’s six years older than me !!!!

thank u very much for the headcanons. im cradling them so close in my arms

Think if the Grey Terminal fire still happens in the baby luffy au, but Sabo manages to come back for his brothers.

Sabo, with a burn scar/mark in almost half of his face. Sabo, who fears that baby Luffy will be afraid of him after this new "thing" in his face. Sabo, who does not expected to Luffy just put his little hand on his now burned cheek, smiling so brightly as if his old brother was the same.

im dead on the floor. btw

I feel like big spoon/little spoon cuddling asl would be really cute in your style 🥺

Just a suggestion if you like hehe

thank u for giving me this opportunity

wing au

Baby lu au thought: what was lu's first word? Ace? Sabo? Makino? (Y'know what's funnier? If his first word is "brother!", making Ace and Sabo melt & fight to know who he called)

technically it was none of them

Dragodile family for pride month 💞

Since we are following the theme, I’ll share some hcs:

Dragon is pan/demi

Croc is trans (afab) & homoromantic/bisexual

And Luffy will discover he’s aroace

Yes the sketch is incomplete, but idc haha

Dadodile

He melted their hearts, but who can resist?

And happy (late) father’s day! I’ve made this draw for that day.

Bonus:

If you asked why they felt so ooc, Iva explained it haha

Just a little guy.

More thoughts on this.

Do you know any fanfics about protective Ace and Sabo over their little brother? (either because he's in a relationship or that he's hurt or something?)

yknow i don’t think i’ve actually yet read what you’re looking for specifically, but i have read stuff with loving ace and sabo? these might satisfy a bit of that desire lmao

a box of matches for a new life by fingersfallingupwards - this one might not be to most people’s tastes since it’s about luffy and ace dying together during marineford arc and reborn as harry and ron from HP, but lemme tell you it really has a fantastic luffy and ace who love each other SO MUCH, like it is WILD lol! (it is also wip but honestly it’s worth reading!)

two and a half pirates by pirate_trafalguy - au where luffy is born 16 years after ace and sabo, and garp leaves him for the teenage boys to raise. EXTREMELY cute doting big bros

i guess that’s it huh, well IM STILL LOOKING for more fic like what you’re looking for too haha

AU in which everything is the same apart from Boa not wanting to marry Luffy but instead adopt him.

just rewatched demon slayer…you know what that means 😈

au’s are my passion

Me when they are the sisters ever: 😭😭😭 They came out soooo freaking well. I won’t lie, they took me a thousand years to finish but through the constant support from all of my buds (and my latent bisexuality), we made it 😤

Hopefully you guys know the deal by now: design choices, easter eggs, and (NEW!) closeup shots below the read more. ⬇️

I wanted Ace to have a very down-to-earth vibe and looked at Aussie beach-girls, coastal cowgirls, and vaqueras for reference. (IDK, I’ve just always envisioned Ace as part-Australian🌺 and Mexican 🏴‍☠️) Her clothing choices are mostly natural or utilitarian materials like the painted wooden beads on her top, her woven fabric and leather belts, and her denim jumpsuit. I gave her bikini top a zen-garden kind of feel because I read the first Ace’s Story Novel and I loved how idyllic and peaceful they made Sixis Island sound so I wanted to invoke that in some way.

Speaking of her painted wooden beads, they hang off the back of her top and represent her connection to Sabo and Luffy. They watch her back once she sets sail. She only wears one red glass bead earring because the other one got ripped out of her ear when a child, leaving her earlobe torn (don’t think about it too much 😢). Also, YES! she does wear a hibiscus flower just like Rouge (because I hate you and I want to make you cry, muhwahahahaha).

Also, I really wanted her to have super textured curly hair that licks behind her like flames. I am always considering whether or not a character should have long hair or not because I don’t want it to be a hindrance if they’re in a fight (or if they ARE a fighter with long hair, how to they avoid an enemy making use of that?). Ace is, of course, a Logia-type Devil Fruit User so I think she wouldn’t have trouble with people grabbing it LOL I get the feeling that she doesn’t take very good care of it even though it looks amazing. Like you’d think it would be soft and bouncy just by looking at it but if you ever get the chance to run your fingers through it, it’s a total rat’s nest and there’s sand and food all up in it. She still falls asleep while eating 😂 but she tries her best to only do it around people she can trust (woman moment 😔).

Honestly, her design is not that different from Ace’s canon look. It feels really vital to Ace’s character to have a lot of skin showing. And he’s always hanging all over himself with his hips all cocked like the weight of the world is too much to stand up straight. It is certainly not my OWN preference to make her an absolute smoke show. That’s just the character, okay? (I’m partially lying and the proof is that I turned the emblem on Ace’s hat strap into a sternum tattoo for no other reason than that it is sexy af.)

Here are some closeups of Ace:

Now for Sabo, I’ve made her very girly. I tried putting her in pants or something more militant but she told me that she’d wear the big poofy sleeves and hiked-up ruffled skirt. I think Sabo has always had a strong grasp on his fashion sense and individual flair and I truly believe that his personal style is one of the major influences for the rest of the Revolutionary Army resulting in the very flashy, queer, steampunk aesthetic (aside from Dragon’s plain-ass cloak). So of course I had to implement her nonconformist look when reimagining her as a woman and dress her up to the nines.

I’ve given her very ornate jewelry that is there to tell a story, even if she herself doesn’t know it. I like to think she picks up stuff from her travels that resonate with her, such as a damaged set of earrings with one stone missing or red cup-shaped shells featuring three nestled pearls. Another accessory that cannot go unmentioned is her dragon claw hat pin that keeps her top hat resting on top of her hair (and is definitely used as a weapon when the situation simply doesn’t call for trusty metal pipe). She also has a veil that obscures her prominent facial scar. I imagine she’s not very keen on the reminder of the incident from her childhood that took away her memories. I also kept her chipped toothed because 1) it’s fucking adorable and 2) is a visual reminder that she no longer aligns herself with the nobility who would have gotten such a thing fixed. She is so poised in almost every outward facet of her life from her dignified role as the Chief of Staff to the elegant materials in her clothing that it can be easy to forget she was also a rough and tumble forest dweller. Every time Koala remembers this, he lets out the biggest sigh.

Her hair is inspired by Gibson Girls and Elizabeth Swann from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I wanted it to be fussy and tidy but fall apart when she’s in moments of distress. For example, when she remembers her sisters, her hair starts to look like Ace’s flaming mane. I’m so in love with her, I think she looks like an adorable little porcelain doll that would fuck you up. I made an effort to keep her eyes a little bit manic. I get lost in her steely black orbs (and also Ace’s warm brown ones, but we’re talking about Sabo rn).

Here are her close-ups:

Plot notes for this AU:

For this series of character designs, I wanted the expressions and outfits to be aligned with the canon plot but I don’t know if I have the heart to kill fem!Ace in my AU. I’m too attached and ASL has suffered enough!!!!! But Ace’s death is also a major defining moment for Luffy so it feels disingenuous to completely avoid it. Also a huge aspect of Sabo’s character is carrying on Ace’s will and I have so many thoughts about how the Dressrosa Colosseum scene would play out if they were all women. Oh well, I’ll cross that tragic bridge when I get to it. I’m definitely going to draw some Modern AU Girl Piece ASL though. They deserve to hang out with no stakes 😭 They are sisters!!!

Check out the tag “girl piece” on my blog for my other One Piece genderbends! 🥰

I've seen this joke made already but I couldn't resist drawing it! original

So cute!

Done! -Dies-

"Cat boy" Au (I Just call it 'Meow 9 AU')

A universe where in large cities there is a overpopulation and breeding problem.

Which leads to abandoned feral kitten Luffy desperately attempts to steal from a high class restaurant after his two older brothers have dissapeared for several days.

The plate he choses to steal from happens to be Crocodile's, it goes about as well as you think it does.

It's only by luck that day someone had planned to poison the food served to the fat cat which resulted in Crocodile owing Luffy from a humiliating night as the he is well versed in poisons.

Taking in the kit there is a lot to work on due to Luffy being feral at his age. So, obvious shenaniganery is going to ensure.

Bonus: Months later... Soft moment in the chaos.
