Ramblings of a mad woman

Disclaimer: I might get some things wrong about the characters because I've only watch a bit of the Lupin franchise so if anyone knows more about these characters pls inform me or make your own version and I would gladly support it

ZENIGATA

At first Zenigata was gonna be like a robot entity to a literal wall to showcase his imposing figure. His men are also walls but a different size and color .They close in on their target essentially trapping them in their new prison

I was just playing around with his coat collar until it resembled a diamond, which inspired me to turn him into a squid shape creature with rope cuff hands.It's kinda funny that I just only realized Lupin has a fear for Squids and now pops looks like one but he is still a softie so maybe he gets a pass?

He can produce an army of ink men to aid him on his duty

GOEMON

I wanted his creature design to reflect his calm yet stoic demeanor and how he just goes where the wind will take him.I also based him off of Kubo and the two strings(great movie btw)

So I designed him to be composed of papers! They can flow through the wind and can cut you when you least expect it

FUJIKO

At first I wanted her body to be that of a lighter and her hair to be the fire but i had a hard time conceptualising it so for now she is all flames.

I wanted the flames to showcase how fire can give comfort and warmth but get too close and it will burn and hurt

Fujiko from what i've seen will do whatever she has to in order to achieve her goals (and we love her for that Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl boss fr) but she can also be sweet and genuine from time to time

JIGEN

I don't know where I saw it but basically Jigen was describe as Lupin shadow and so I made him a literal shadow with a gun

I also made him a shadow because how loyal he is towards his friends and how content he is of being overshadowed by Lupin's grandiose antics(?)

Jigen cannot manifest as a 3d being. He sticks to flat surfaces as a 2d being

I also kinda made a semi origin for this Jigen

-The dark is one being consists of voices,thoughts and feelings designed to drive one mad if they stay too long within it

One of those thoughts/voices/feelings was Jigen before a certain individual showed up and managed to intrigued him so much

He became his own being, the shadow, but with this new freedom came with a cost. He can never go back to the dark lest he risk merging with it again and losing himself, even if sometimes he misses the comfort it once gave him-

LUPIN

Ngl I had a hard time on this mofo

I couldn't come up with a design I want for him.at first he has a fushigi ball for a head to showcase how he distorts his surroundings to fit his vision

But then I got a wonderful idea of just keeping Lupin as a concept rather than an actual being

Lupin is now a concept with no real body instead he steals parts and builds himself an Avatar he uses to interact with the world around him (so his form above is fake but that's his favorite form also it messes with humans seeing as how he looks like a regular person with mask)

So yeah cosmic horror Lupin for the win let's go!

(If it's a little confusing just think of Lupin as a sort of mimic but with extra steps)

He can be anyone or anything and you'll never know ,fortunately for you this mofo is too much of narcissist that he will gladly reveal himself to gloat

He's expressing himself in song form

(Dude I just remembered the song "Cop cuties" and now I'm tempted to draw the lupgang as a band)

This is the full animation

I might expand on these two officers and give them unique designs

For now they're just two new knuckleheads who look up to and admire the inspector but they also tease and annoy him often leading to them getting punished via push ups or other workout routines

Just remembered this song - Posin

I enjoyed the short live action series it was a delightful experience

Really wished they continued it

The two people with Zenigata are detectives who accompany him in his cases/adventures in Japan while Lupin is unavailable

Decided to give Zenigata a friend

This is Mellina Scoopes she is a Journalist

nickname: Mel / Scoops

FIRST MEETING:

Zenigata was trying to solve an old cold case and ran into Mel who is also interested in the case

Together they try to uncover the mystery albeit on rocky terms but they eventually become friends

RELATIONSHIP / DYNAMIC:

Scoops calls Koichi when she needs help and Koichi always answers but feels conflicted with Mel's method

From breaking and entering , stealing, blackmail, etc

Mel convinces Koichi by telling him it's for the greater good (which it is .......most of the time)

FLAWS / STRENGTHS:

Mel sometimes thinks more of the story and fame she will recieve than actually trying to help

Chasing the story even at the cost of putting others in danger

Koichi helps Mel be more empathic towards the people she claims to want to help

I tried turning Zenigata into a anthro tiger but I don't think it resembles him enough so I might redo it.

There were a lot of animal options I wanted to turn Zenigata into -Bloodhound, Bull ,Horse ,Hare-

but I ultimately went with a tiger because of the Live action Zenigata mini series.

Has anyone else watch this movie?

Guess what kind of seal I based Zenigata on also hey! Jigen and Lupin are there ( I took inspiration from selkies on the mermaid design)

It was supposed to be an OC but that Damn monkey got too greedy😡

Zenigata being a delinquent while still being a good student is just so funny to me like imagine Zenigata lecturing other students for their tardiness then out of school you just see this uptight student smoking ( don't tell his mother) and hanging out with a gang.
