The Apple Box

The second part of the commission for @mschimotoma and her Sherlock BBC + Hannibal crossover AU, see the first part in the previous post

The author's description for the character:

We decided to choose the following age periods for Charles Magnussen (played by Lars Mikkelsen):

a 6-year-old little nerd fawn

a 13-year-old school student, who just can't help but express his opinion about everyone around him

a 24-year-old young journalist who has just been hired permanently by "Ekstra Bladet" (a popular Danish tabloid newspaper) after an internship. as in the case of Hannibal, the last quarrel between the two brothers left a noticeable physical injury - a broken right antler that will never fully grow back

a 42-year-old publishing editor and co-owner of the newspaper (enjoying blackmailing as a hobby)

a 47-year-old Charles who was less (or maybe more?) fortunate and failed with one of his work cases, which led him to the loss of his job and the need to urgently move to the US

Special details:

Charles is a red deer, but he was born piebald due to a mutation caused by vitiligo, and so, as the years passed, his fur was getting more and more pale until it became completely white in his adulthood

he is an omnivore just like his brother

but unlike Hannibal he prefers not to eat meat, and so he uses the force of his jaws and fangs only as a last resort

his original Danish name was Carl August Magnussen, but after he turned 18 and left the family, he changed his first name to the more common European "Charles"

he was the one who taught Hannibal to use "The Mind Palace" technique when they were young

And this commission I made in the end of 2023 for @mschimotoma and her Sherlock BBC + Hannibal crossover AU. She asked me to help her with the full-fledged reference sheets, so the characters' evolution over the years would become more transparent

The author's description for the character: We decided to choose the following age periods for Hannibal Lecter (played by Mads Mikkelsen): - a 5-year-old fluffy cute fawn, just as he should be - a 12-year-old edgy danish teenager - a 20-year-old young doctor who successfully graduated from an international medical school ("Hannibal Rising" used as a reference here), also if you take a closer look you'll notice several scars on his face - the last gift Hannibal received from his brother before they finally quarreled and stopped communicating for decades - a 40-year-old psychotherapist Hannibal (the cannibal) appearing in his most classic style - a 46-year-old Hannibal on the run (post season 3), forced to deny himself expensive suits and visiting restaurants on weekends

Mr. Barnes, are you still having nightmares? 

another one is when antis whine that all the good artists are “““freaks”““ (translation: not antis) or that the ships that they despise have “all the good content creators”
