So, as you guys know I created Minolta Grandeur as a what-if impossi-baby for my ZestyFinish ship. But then–THEN!–my brother from another mother :iconasuraludu: got his nefarious mitts on the concept and told me very succinctly how I could turn this thing into a conducive adoption story. Yep, playing the everloving bongo drums all up on my soft spot for an unlikely-family-building tale. So thanks a whole god damn lot, Ludu, I’m in love again. Now I’m tooling around with the idea of Foto and Zesty winding up as the little muley’s foster moms, and I’m certain hijinks will ensue.

Meanwhile, :iconlady-limule: (lovely French lass and painter extraordinaire) is running a draw-my-chars contest. I couldn’t help but notice that one of said chars, Copper, is a handsome blue mule. The dude proves aesthetically irresistible to little Minolta, who’s just got to snap a few pics of this kindred spirit! Zesty, I figure, has “overprotective parent” written all over her, but it’s cool, Foto is supervising.
