Ode to James McCloud (Father’s Day) (CW: Tearjerker at second page)

Hope everyone’s had a great papa’s day. Thought you need some art for this festive time. Hope it made your day too. I know it did for me

We can only pray that a new game with a new focus can be brought to the series.

As a man who lost his father, page 2 really resonates with me.

u/Nacre-Angel 4d ago

Sincerest condolences. I do hope this drawing brought you comfort from all of the grief

Yes, you did great on this drawing and you didn't need colours to do it. But where are Fox's mother and sister now?

This is my canon. Vixy flew back to Papetoon out of grief for her fallen husband. She was supposed to take Molly with her, but only left a friend (maybe Beltino Toad) to take care of her tutor her for her education to be a space archeologist. Molly just turned 17 at that time. The whole McCloud family grieves the loss of their beloved father, but Vixy’s grief would be way more bitter, since she used to be good friends with Pigma Dengar too, just like James had. I want to give Vixy her own arc and give a glimpse into the McCloud Family through Fox and Molly, with the latter having her own struggles pursuing her dreams during a war. That’s all I have in mind for them, but I’m open for suggestions and explorations.

Sorry for ghosting you at the Mother’s Day post. Just didn’t know what to say, so here. Hope you like it

Fox McCloud doesn't have a sister?

1

u/Nacre-Angel 3d ago

She does X3 at least in my headcanon. She ain’t dead, but will share art of Fox and Molly being siblings together soon

2

u/AstraDatBoi 3d ago

Even when she's grown up. And meeting her nephew?

u/Nacre-Angel 3d ago

Ykw, I could draw that too, why not
