Just two boys who love their job ✨

I lowkey need to draw like actual outfit designs for them. I think Jed’s especially will be fun since I can play around with sizing/more mismatched stuff.

I also need to finish designing Amelie (I’m almost finished I swear!!) as well as the rest of the gang. I’m just figuring them out first.

I’m not even doing all this for anything in particular tbh. I just love that era of history and this is a good motivator for me to do research to learn more, and it helps me broaden my art skills by drawing things I wouldn’t otherwise do!

Meet Jed! At 16, he’s the youngest and newest member of the gang, only having been with them for a year or so. He grew up in an orphanage, but lived on the streets for a couple years before meeting the gang.

He’s not particularly bright, but is loyal to a fault. He drinks a bit too much, and puts little effort into his appearance (cuts his own hair, wears clothes he’s looted regardless of them being too big/small, has a lil monobrow)

He considers himself the jokester of the group, not quite realising more often than not that they’re laughing at him, not with him.

He often tries to imitate Theo and views him as an older brother. The feeling is not mutual.

Ahh thank you so much!! 🥹💕

And yes they’re my OCs! Theo kinda started out as more of a medieval OC but I got bored of that era (and drawing armour is hard hahaha)

Clover is a newer addition! [Why couldn’t I have just given him a dog, why did it have to be an animal I can’t draw 🙂‍↕️]

I’m still figuring out their backgrounds/stories so I don’t have much lore for them beyond what I’ve already shared tbh! But here’s a little insight into Theo’s morality and worldview:

- He believes in survival of the fittest.

- He thinks that there’s no point in waiting around for what you want when you can just take it.

- He despises those born into privilege and wealth, and especially nepotism. It is unearned and thus undeserved. He views them as weak and deserving victims.

And here’s some of his little habits:

- He subconsciously scratches his nose when lying.

- He’s extremely competitive, even in games with no reward.

- Never drinks to the point of drunkenness, especially when in company.

I’m definitely working on developing more for him! I’ve grown quite attached to Theo haha. But a lot of his story is intertwined with Amélie, my female OC. I haven’t finished designing her yet though!

Theo and Clover

Clover was a wild horse that Theo tamed himself, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

He named her “Clover” after four leaf clovers, because meeting her was the first time in his life he felt his luck was turning.

Decided to ink my Theo sketches. I’m actually really enjoying drawing cowboys atm it’s more fun than I thought! Helps that I’m in the middle of a Wild West hyperfixation atm lol

But anyway, here’s some fun facts about Theo!

- “Harlowe” is his mother’s maiden name.

- He ran away from home at 13.

- He claims his nose was broken in a bar fight. The reality is that his father broke it in a drunken rage.

- Loves card games but often cheats.
