BILLOWS BEAT OFF WHISPERED WINGS: A DAEMON AU: i will be posting more of this series here and on ao3! i might change the title, who knows

hardison is an eastern red bat named t'pris (they thought it was spelled teepris until they watched star trek and were like AH designated trekkie by birth name). settled age sixteen. he is a witch that traveled dimensions when he was young, triggered by when he felt particularly lonely. then he got to nanas and he was :(( so he had the look in his eye and Nana was like OH NO YOU DONT and turns out she is a witch too. he does age at a human rate, unlike nana. 

parker's is a raccoon named jack, settled age nine. he had taken to rabbits and hares when she was very small, because they loved bunny. she was convinced he would be a jackalope (hence, why she think she gave him the name jack, but they cant remember if that was his given name in the first place). settled when her foster father took Bunny and jack needed lil clever thief hands to steal bunny back. they are stretched but not separated, so that jack can help out with thievery.

eliot has a cecropia moth, which is the biggest n.american moth. her name is hazel (although eventually hazel will use they/them, but im not sure when that will start). settled age fifteen. hazel and eliot are severed by age twenty-four, as is typical with elite soldiers and contractors and such. they do not have a good relationship, because age twenty-eightish, eliot abandoned left hazel with toby because eliot knew he was getting into some bad shit and didn't want her hurt.

MORE HEADCANONS ABOUT THE OT3 (but mostly hazel since the series would be mostly in her pov) IN THIS VERSE BELOW

this sketch is inspired by the amazing amazing gift fic lock and key; music and lyrics which canon_is_relative wrote for me during the 2022 @leverage-secret-santa-exchange, which was in turn inspired by headcanons i had posted to tumblr and then here. i was immediately so blown away by the vividness of the story's description that i knew i had to draw it. it took half a year but here it is!

for those who want to just stay for this drawing, hazel is eliot's cecropia moth, jack is parker's raccoon, and t'pris is an eastern red bat. more about the verse can be found here on ao3. [img desc in alt text]

[ID: Sketch of Parker standing on Eliot's shoulders beside a sign that says 'No standing on shoulder', with Hardison on his tablet nearby and a pick up truck in the background. Parker has her arms folded and is smirking, Eliot is glaring slightly at Hardison, and Hardison is just focusing on what he's doing. End ID]

Just moved house after a long period of real world chaos, so drawing was first just hard and now hard because I don't yet have a desk and will take ages to familarise myself with new desk once I have one! In short, art may be random, haphazard, and intermittent for a while.

But here be the Leverage OT3 on a roadtrip, stopping to check directions. At least, that's what Hardison is doing, while Parker decides to rebel against signage.

[ID: Three Leverage Redemption sketches. Top is Parker, Hardison and Eliot. Parker is in the foreground with her arms folded and a devious smile on her face. Behind her, Hardison is smirking and looking at Eliot, who is looking back at him in confusion. Beneath Parker it says "Let's go steal the president's shoelaces", above Hardison is a shifty-eyed smiley face, and above Eliot is ?!. Middle sketch is Harry leaning on a door frame, looking as Eliot walks towards him with cuts and bruises on his face and arms, and one hand pressed to his side, where there is blood soaked into his shirt. Bottom sketch is Dr Paul Orozco and Eliot sitting on a sofa drinking beer. Paul is grinning and has one hand on Eliot's bicep, and Eliot is smiling softly and looking back at him. End ID]

Some Redemption stuff. Drawing these while have the plague and a bit dizzy, so not sure if when I'm better I'll realise all the proportions are off or the lines super fuzzy XD But maybe they're all photos taken through a lens with vaseline on it!
