HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 4

Keralis x Lupin the 3rd: Part 2

A drawing of Minecraft youtuber, Keralis, in the style of Lupin the 3rd. He is standing on a bright orange background, winking, and pointing his finger at you as if it is a gun. Above him is his own name in bold, blocky white text.

Lupin the 3rd is an adult comedy anime series about a charismatic thief who robs from the rich and gives to himself (and his buddies). I drew Keralis in this style for the meme (and the massive eyes). Please be aware: Lupin the 3rd is an old series that has a LOT of crass sexual humor. Trust me, like, boob jokes galore on a tame day. All installments of the Lupin franchise (that I've seen anyway) are aimed at an adult audience. To see my style references and learn more about Lupin the 3rd (specifically Lupin the 3rd: Part 2) journey below the cut!

But real quick, before you click 'keep reading', let me remind you that this year for Hermit a Day May there is a fundraiser for Gamers Outreach with incentives from the fabulous artists @belmarzi and @rendiggitydog so don't forget to go check that out too!

Lupin the 3rd: Part 2 follows the misadventures of the grandson of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin of literary fame. The show tells the story of Lupin and his friends as they pull wacky heists to steal from the wealthy, get rich, and avoid the dogged police detective, Zenigata, who follows them everywhere and is definitely not in love with Lupin. This show has made me do an embarrassing bark laugh many times against my will. It is not a show to take too seriously as Lupin is, at his core, a clown of a man who hangs out with two overly serious boyfriends platonic buddies who are pretending as hard as they can that they are not also clowns. The only consistently competent person in the entire show is Lupin's will-they-won't-they love interest, Fujiko, who tries her best to kill him every other episode.

Style references:

There are four people in the car, driving through a desert. The two men in the back are looking at you, smirking. The guy on the right is standing up and shooting at you - this guy is Lupin. You are viewing this entire scene through a bullet hole that's been made in what looks like a red piece of cloth.

Lupin and the gang! Lupin is the guy who is shooting you.

Lupin and his best friend Jigen (who is in love with him I cannot stress enough how canon this is) are floating in the sky. They have their arms around each other and Lupin is laughing. You can't see Jigen's eyes due to his fedora, but he is smiling, probably because of how in love he is with Lupin.

Lupin and Jigen, the man whose heart he stole (this is canon). They're inseparable.

Lupin is visible from the chest up on the right side. He is winking and smiling at you while holding a gun, which is pointed up. On the top left is the title ''Lupin the Third Part II'' written in white blocky font with a black outline and a drawing of a gun beside the text. The entire image is on a bright orange background. In the bottom left is the copyright information for Monkey Punch, the manga artist who created Lupin the 3rd.

Lupin the 3rd: Part 2 has multiple title designs. I picked this one because it's my favourite.
