I see egg drawing all the bean au stuff....how come you don't draw anything? /gen
insider meme answer: we got divorced multiple times and she's got custody of the kids.
actual serious answer: tl;dr- it's just not my hyperfixation, and never really was enough of one to draw it as often as eddie does. i have drawn for it before, but since it's not a hyperfixation, the motivation to really draw it just kinda fell off over the course of the past year.
in general, i struggle a lot with drawing something i'm not completely interested in. even back when we first met over a year ago and were drawing our MK's back and forth before making it an actual AU, i was drawing bean!MK as more of an impulse response than an actual interest. like, it was mostly just RP responses if anything, besides the art i drew for asks as well as memes regarding ESAU!MK as a child.
i did find the idea cute of ESAU!MK being turned into a child yet still retaining his very much dangerous tendencies, but it was always more for the fun of it. and considering bean!MK was never canon in ESAU, i never felt the need to draw him for any lore or rendered art.
overall, eddie prefers to draw certain characters mostly as children or chibis, and in general in a cute style that aligns pretty well with bean cubs's premise, and i prefer to stick to drawing characters mostly as adults in a more hot/suggestive style.
bean cubs is also more based on her AU than mine, since it's basically just the king and his cub with the addition of the reader and the champions having been added as like neighborly crossover cameos. we wouldn't even have decided to make it an actual AU if the november incident didn't happen, and if people didn't accuse me of the most horrendous shit during that time just for me having drawn ESAU!MK as a child for fun responses.
another bonus thing of why i don't really feel like drawing him, and bean cubs in general, would be because we never rly had a proper design for the AU's champions. as in she prefers to draw the champions in a casual outfit to make things easier, while i prefer to draw them in either their usual armor/servant outfit, or what they would wear if they lived with their master in a regular house.
it's not a big thing due to the previous points i've mentioned, but it's something that at least to me makes it feel less connected to ESAU, and takes away an extra bit of that need to add anything onto it from my own side. for example me drawing bean in his armor nowadays wouldn't feel like it's in regards to bean cubs anymore and would just feel like regular ESAU!MK as chibi. so i feel more like i'd rather draw regular ESAU!MK at that point and just stick to suggesting ideas here and there.
