A sketch commission for *LilShock of his adorable Nightmaren LyLyDyA (left) and Iviv (right).
It’s really really old news now, but I drew this in response to the big stink about DeviantArt’s gender policies. I don’t really know why I still use DA, especially after that, but hey. Humans are selfish, and I kind of need it to promote myself. A guy’s gotta eat.
ANYHOOZLE, I’m kind of surprised I didn’t get around to putting it here on Tumblr, so here it is.
“The picture is not support for NiGHTS or support for ME, or one of those “IF YOU SUPPORT ______, LIKE/FAVOURITE THIS PICTURE” to rack up numbers. (because the numbers on a picture aren’t going to matter to anyone when it comes to this subject.)
It also isn’t for bouncing around the comments saying NiGHTS IS *whatever gender, race or species you assign*.
I just felt like of all characters that I could think of, the one that represents “…we can do, anything we want to!” and being fully supported and accepted for what he is, EVEN for being neither male nor female, NiGHTS was THEE best. So why not use him to show MY support?
We all like to assign NiGHTS either a gender or a gender pronoun (I say “he” for convenience, not because I think he’s male), but the FACT is that NiGHTS is OFFICIALLY neither. NiGHTS is everyone’s favourite genderqueer!
People should be allowed to be whoever or whatever they want and have the choice to disclose, or NOT to disclose that, or whatever sex they were born as to anyone. They also shouldn’t be forced to choose from another human beings predetermined choices or notions about what humans can be. You cannot put absolutely everyone into a box! (Which is totally ironic because the best way to deal with this situation is a box for you to TYPE IN WHATEVER YOU WANT.)
TL;DR: LOOK, NiGHTS IS DA COLOURS HUR HUR DERP! “
I made this little guy for a contest on DeviantArt to design the 6th Nightmaren mascot for the NiGHTS OC Club. He’s… I don’t know, personally I think he’s terrifying, but for all the wrong reasons: He’s too cute.
Other than that, I don’t think there’s enough yellow and/or green love in the fan ‘maren community that aren’t blatant NiGHTS recolours, so I wanted him to be different. Teeny tiny and not really TOO close to the official Nightmaren other than the general look of the eyes, no neck/arms in the sleeves, etc.
He doesn’t have a name because the club said not to name the entries, but if he isn’t chosen, I might think of something for him.
For all of my friends who are feeling lonely today, YOU ARE LOVED.

My Saints Row 2 custom character, Kazuya (aka) Kaz. I made him the subject of my experimentation with animation cels (although this is obviously digital). This isn’t really as believable as a real animation cel, but it’s a beginning. It felt really good to actually work hard on a piece of artwork that was just for me.
This is Somni, and he belongs to a friend of mine. I drew him this picture because he’s a very good friend, and I felt like I owed him a nice gift. That and Somni is just gorgeous and I always thought so- he was fun to draw and really got my artistic abilities rolling after being pretty much blocked for some time now.
