Description
I finally did a thing I said I was going to draw. Because that never happens. XD
A simple lineup of my versions of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys (now with names so you guys can know which is which). This is my favorite kid's story, and just one of my all time favorite stories in general, and I'd love to do a project related to it someday. Don't know when or what, but it'll happen someday.

Also, in case you were wondering, I don't imagine the lost boys all come from England. I always assumed any boy from any place could end up in Neverland. And if you wondered about the masks, here's my thinking. To me the lost boys always seemed to exist in this weird limbo state between the real world and Neverland. Like, they have left our world, but they have not been in Neverland long enough to really become part of it like Peter has. Because I remember it stated that Peter's essentially the way he is because he's been there so long that Neverland sort of bends to accommodate him. And he's been subject to the magic there for so long that he actually becomes at least partly Fae. (It actually claims at one point that Peter is enough of a Fae that he actually could produce pixie dust himself and does not require a companion faerie to fly.) The way I see it, Peter has identity because he has fully committed to his circumstances. The Lost Boys have not reached that point, and have not been afforded the same opportunities that Peter has to develop their individual selves. They are separate from each other, but to me the Lost Boys always seemed to kind of exist only as Peter wanted them to. No Lost Boy is allowed to know something that Peter does not, hence they don't even get "real" names. But they're still very much separate people and they do have individual personalities and desires. But again, unlike Peter the other boys don't seem to recall much of their former lives (not correctly at least), whereas Peter knows very much where he came from (enough to even go home at one point) and knows who he is now. The boys do not, and as such they lack a personal recognition of who they are. The masks are simply meant to be a physical representation of their lack of full identity. (The twins get full face masks because it's stated that they know the least about themselves of all the boys as Peter does not actually know what a twin is and therefore bars them from knowing much about it either.)
I would imagine the boys remove their masks when they leave Neverland. Because it's only at that point that they gain a full sense of self to be able to do so. Perhaps they could do the same if they stayed in Neverland long enough, but it doesn't seem as likely to me while they are in Peter's charge.

So yeah. That's what I was thinking anyways. Someday I'll actually draw these guys properly refined out... someday. XD

Peter Pan is technically still copyright, but only in some formats I believe. (Ugh, I wish so bad it was just regular public property, like it should've been by now. But helping kids is good too I suppose)
