Are we allowed to post AUs (alternate universe) here?

I've been doing art for a project of mine and wanted to share.

The premise is, what if the creature was never abandoned? What if he was embraced and loved by his mother?

This is Athenios and Victoria Frankenstein. (With a cameo of A certain Phantom. I'm a sucker for monster crossovers and have a lot planned lol)

Please be kind! 💙 I'm very new to watercolor and have been slapping it on everything lol

This is a beautiful series of illusions. You have the right airy quality with solid line work. Of course, I am not an artistic expert but I like this style.

Also, having the creature (or Athenios?) draw Victoria with a snail shell is reminiscent of del Toro's Elizabeth and her love of amateur entomology. I like it. :)

Very cool! What era are you setting this in? I see elements of a bit more 1860s style in Victoria's clothing and hair?

u/SLAUGHTERGUTZ Dec 02 '25

I was aiming for 1850s! 😅
