Art and description by Agu-Fungus:
This is the beginning of a simple beggar named Mickey, an orphan boy who ran away from the unpleasantness of an orphanage that he would rather not speak about.
With nowhere to live in, wearing nothing but a vest, a pair of worn out shorts, his feet completely bare, and his only possession being his hat, which belonged to his dear late father, the only place he has to live in now is in the streets, using his hat to beg for loose change to be able to survive, and sleeping in whatever place he could find, like in alleys or under the river bridge.
Everyday, he saw street performers using their talents to gain a good buck, and he wishes he would develop his own talent improve his situation, but he has no money to help him get started.
Another day ends, and the young boy decides to sleep under the river bridge, and while covering himself with an old blanket he found abandoned in an alley, he dreams of one day becoming a street performer to improve his life and get himself out of the rough life that he is now living in.
A new fanart of Yuni's Beggar Mickey, this time giving him a backstory of his beggar life as a kid. He hasn't become a contortionist yet, but he will train to become one soon after meeting someone who will be very special to him. And yes, he will grow up to still remain shirtless and barefoot, but at least he will be able to live a better life with his new friend. More of him soon. π
