Portraits
Added 2022-07-04 20:25:20 +0000 UTCHere's a sketch dump for you guys. I imagine Aunt Ginny's familial home being full of old photographs and portraits and I was drawing a few that will probably be background assets in future comics. Some you see here are young Ginny and her late sister Gwendolyn as well as her late mother Claire, and late husband, Mr Edgar Hackle.
About three generations of the Humboldt family have lived in that house, starting with Otto Humboldt Sr, (middle right)

…OHHH, I see why & how you designed the setting/neighborhood that Ginny & Darcy live in. It’s like a mix of the north & southside of Chicago, Ginny’s family once lived in a fancy neighborhood not unlike that of Hargrove. But due to economic changes like the Great Depression & resources maintaining cities like Ginny’s household nestles in went more in suburban development to create places like Hargrove, the area once affluent fell to disrepair & Ginny don’t have much money to her name to move out, let alone to upkeep it. And the surrounding area became demolished & developed to become buildings for people of low-income, especially tempting for disowned/outmode bots being paid less…

2022-07-07 10:43:39 +0000 UTCIn "Home Sweet Home" Darcy tells Emmy that Aunt Ginny "Isn't really [her] aunt, long story" so likely they aren't actually related and Aunt Ginny is just a nickname. Additionally, Gwendolyn looks to be about the same age as Ginny if a little older, and since Ginny looks to be in her sixties Gwendolyn would be much too old to give birth to Darcy, who's twelve as according to one of Dom's old Instagram posts.

2022-07-07 08:11:02 +0000 UTCIs Gwendolyn Darcy’s mother? Since Darcy refers to Ginny as her aunt

2022-07-06 18:32:38 +0000 UTCGoodness, her mother had such a piercing glare, which her sister seemed to inherit. Meanwhile Ginny had, and has kept, a wide eyed and friendly gaze.

2022-07-05 18:35:43 +0000 UTCThe poor dear! No wonder she's crafted a family of outmodes and orphans. Losing all of one's blood family and being the only one left is not easy...

2022-07-05 16:38:28 +0000 UTCYes it’s father and son haha

2022-07-05 15:47:54 +0000 UTCOhh, my bad! He looks just like him on the portrait. I even screenshotted both to compare it side by side. Lol

2022-07-05 15:35:47 +0000 UTCShe’ll never give an exact answer either.

2022-07-05 09:22:22 +0000 UTCI wonder how old she is now!

2022-07-05 06:14:47 +0000 UTCHe just looks older in this post..

2022-07-05 06:14:25 +0000 UTCAre these official designs or no of Ginny’s family? The dad one is confusing me from the wedding photo here and the portrait in the previous comic page. I’m just, a lil curious.

2022-07-04 22:39:21 +0000 UTCThe real place in Chicago has nothing to do with these guys they’re all fictional. But yes, those are Ginny’s grandparents on the right
Dominic Cellini
2022-07-04 22:21:04 +0000 UTCHonestly I can see the resemblance, he’s a pretty neat character design 👍
Dr. Rodin
2022-07-04 22:19:52 +0000 UTCWell darn I thought I was going somewhere with something. I figured they’re a somewhat pretty influential family that seem to be old money from the late 1800s with the fashion of who appeared to be Ginny’s great grandma to have a park named after them, I have a weird way of thinking.
Dr. Rodin
2022-07-04 22:18:39 +0000 UTCIt’s a park in west Chicago
Dominic Cellini
2022-07-04 21:17:54 +0000 UTCWait, Humbodlt? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen that name for a park on a map somewhere…
Dr. Rodin
2022-07-04 21:17:38 +0000 UTCThat’s not him, that’s Edgar.

2022-07-04 20:51:02 +0000 UTCOtto Humboldt looks a bit like Gomez Addams
