The Aquato Family - Blog Posts

When I draw him as a teen I always give him his nanny chin

A complexion study! I thought it’d be interesting to contemplate what the Aquatos would look like with a few varieties of realistic Romani skin colors and how the two might mingle to retain that goofy red/yellow/green and yellow/blue/brown color harmony from the games.

I’m absolutely not the first person to do this, but I can’t find the post that inspired me. It was Frazie and Mirtala with brown skin in pretty blue leotards, I think. If anyone can find it, plz link me.

(I also felt the need to sit and tweak Raz’s face a bit so he looks less like a Danny Phantom clone than in previous drawings.)

[ID: Digital art of sketches of Razputin and the Aquato family with skin tones varying from Simpsons yellow to olive to warm red-brown. There’s a bunch of tests of Raz in the top left as a smiling teenager. In the top right, Dion has been reimagined with long hair pulled back in a thick ponytail and a goatee. He’s wearing a royal blue leotard with gold trim and a deep collar. He looks contemplative. Frazie is in the bottom right with her hair flayed out behind her in an 80s windswept look. She’s wearing a light blue leotard with stripes of purple-blue swirly fabric, yellow trim around the midsection, and a white striped undershirt underneath. She’s staring curiously at a green lens she found. Donatella smiles and winks behind her with yellow and white glitter on her cheeks and blue shadowed eyes. There’s a gag in the bottom left of Augustus (in a green and yellow ringmaster’s outfit) warmly telling Raz (in a grey long sleeve) that he’s starting to get his grandmother’s chin, and Raz uncomfortably imagines himself with a skinny blunted chin like Marona. The skin tones of the children are varying intersections of their father’s red-brown skin and their mother’s olive skin. End ID]

Dion to Raz: "We found you in the dumpster."

Raz: "That just means I grew in the heart and not the belly."

Dion:

Raz's second family.

This is and one of the frist videos I made when Raz's clone voice was sitll available. It was a dumb idea but a good start to practicing editing, and surprize surprize, it's my most popular video on tiktok! Still can't belive it no matter what!

Raz's first day learning the trapeze.

little Raz: "I can't do it!"

Augustus: "It's okay son, you don't have to. That's why the lord made gravity!"

*Pushes Raz off*

Ideal title for now: Tiger Lili

It all just seemed to happen so fast, one day Lili Zanotto was at camp, the next she was on the jet to save her kidnapped father with the psychonauts, and now she is on the run from them! But how can you hide from government spies, who are not only psychic but know you too well. By running away to join the circus of course.

Even though there's like 2 stories of Lili running away to join or at least run away with the Aquato family circus...

I WANNA HAVE A TRY AT IT!!!
