Here are some of my ocs with their designs either in general for missions or for Dragon’s Rising Season 1.

The first picture has my ocs Vivian, Luna, Kali, and Aries in their typical mission uniforms as they are ninja allies rather than ninja.

The second picture is my oc Malik, who is the son of Ronin and my oc Vivian and has become the master of illusion after the merge.

Then the final picture is my oc Jiro (yes, ik, he has the same name as the dragon, but I don’t feel like changing it as it took me long enough to come up with the name before DR) who ends up working for the Wolf Clan

Some fancy pants Ronin that I sketched back in 2022 as I was trying to figure out formal attire for story stuff with my ocs

Here’s some ocs + Ronin au/crossover stuff I drew a while back.

First one is Ronin as Dimitri and my oc Vivian as Anya/Anastasia from, well, Anastasia

Second and third ones are for a Stranger Things au a friend of mine and I made. The second one has my ocs Emon and Hisashi (who I created to be Ronin’s old mentors and uncles in a fan backstory I’ve been writing for Ronin) where Emon is Murray and Hisashi is Dmitri/“Enzo.” Then the third has Ronin as Hopper and my oc Vivian as Joyce.

Then the last one is meant to be a Dotd group costume with Vivian as Fred, my oc Luna as Daphne, Vivian’s younger sister, Aleena, as Velma, Ronin in his 20s as Shaggy, and then Vivian and Ronin’s old cat Caesar as Scooby.

I have finally returned from the dead being inactive, so expect an art dump over the next few days of stuff from the last few years.

Here’s Gwen from Spiderman Across the Spiderverse that I drew last summer

[nerdwaifuu-art]

I drew Lumine a while ago and forgot to post the drawing here.

I also have posted it on redbubble: Redbubble Genshin Lumine

Oc Sketches:

Here’s a sketch of my oc Vivian dancing (or forcing a dance) with a younger version of Ronin.

So I found this image and knew I had to redraw it with my oc, Hisashi (who I made to be Ronin’s uncle), featuring a very young Ronin lmao.

Extra bit:

So, for Ninjago Oc Day this year I figured I would do an oc meme to show off some of my ocs (aka characters for a comic I want to make some day).

First we have Vivian with a more realism/semi-realism based style since he took some art classes in school and was taught how to draw realistically.

Next is Luna with a more Disney or cartoon inspired drawing. She grew up loving fairy tales, so honestly she would be the type whose childhood was just made up of Disney films and she would try to apply the style to her own art.

Next is Kali with a style based on fashion designer sketches. Idk why, I just found the style to be fitting for her.

Next is Yen with a style that looks like a Bitmoji. Idk, the style has no explanation behind it, but I tried to make her handwriting look like the messy doctor handwriting since she is a medical student/doctor.

Next is Aleena. During the time of the comic, she would be like 8-11 and that’s kind of how I used to draw when I was around that age.

Finally is Aries trying his best in drawing him and his love of his life.

If you want to learn more about any of these characters or the other characters (which I’ll post some art here/fanfic on my writing account later), here’s a doc that’s still a work in progress.

My hand slipped-

Ronin should put his hair up in a bun like the one s14 cole has this is my totally correct and unbias opinion that i will now be basing my entire life around

[nerdwaifuu-art]

Dang, two posts in one week. New record.

Here’s some more sketches, but this time with Ronin and Vivian.

The thing with Vivian is that I’m making him like Ronin’s bf/fiancé (who unfortunately met a terrible fate-), but I haven’t even drawn them actually together that much. Figured I would change that lol.

In the top left, it’s just youngish Ronin getting a nice early morning hug from Vivian.

In the bottom right, here’s a present day reunion between the two if Vivian’s fate was reversed.

[nerdwaifuu-art]

Been doing some sketches of my OCs.

First one is my OCs Hisashi and Emon. I got the idea when my brother said my outfit made me look like a gay uncle, so I took my OC Hisashi (the character on the left who I’m making Ronin’s uncle and who just happens to be gay) and put him in my outfit and pretend that he’s living happily in the present with his fiancé instead of getting killed by his own brother.

Next we have my OCs Luna and Vivian. I had my brother choose two outfits and I would draw my OCs in them. So, here’s Luna and Vivian recreating the one scene from The Amazing World of Gumball (ft. young Ronin judging them in corner)

[nerdwaifuu-art]

Been working on my backstory comic some more (I actually have a doc for notes lmao. Progress is being made), and I’ve been actually drawing stuff related to it (or to the characters lol).

For now, here’s a sketch of young (in his 20s) Ronin. At some point in my comic, Ronin takes in a cat that often tries to come into the pawn shop/antique shop he works at because why not.

Hopefully I’ll be posting more stuff in the future because I’ve found my motivation again.

Some extra content- When Vivian (one of my ocs) comes home later that day:

Sketch Dump & Quick OC/Comic Intro?

So for a couple years now, I have been wanting to work on a fanfiction/fan comic where I come up with Ronin’s backstory. A few of you have probably come across my past attempts (on my main account @nerdwaifuu​ and on my fanfiction.net account, I had a short story where Ronin and Dareth discussed Ronin’s past. Then on my writing account @nerdwaifuu-stories, I had like 2-3 chapters posted of going into detail and now deleted.) If you know about the old story, just push it out of your mind. If you never came across it, good, you’re not missing much. The only similarities between that old version and the one I’m going to discussion today and in the future is just character names and, well, Ronin. 

I will probably go more into plot later on once I have a more condensed way of talking about it (going through a sparknotes version of it takes like 5 hours on a call, but part of those calls had my friends and I screwing around and some moments where we were afk, so it probably takes slightly less time), but for now here’s some the characters and just concept stuff that I have sketched:

This is Vivian. He is the second main protagonist of the comic. He has been Ronin’s best friend since they were young, has trained beside him, been his partner in crime, and becomes much more throughout the comic

This is Luna. She’s one of the other protagonists, but she doesn’t play as big of a role as Vivian in the comic (if I make anything that’s more present day, which I am thinking of making another comic set after season 12, she gets a slightly bigger role). She joins the squad at the end of the first comic and from there joins Ronin and Viv’s missions, gets trained by another character named Emon, and is exposed to the realities of life as she was had a very closeted childhood. 

Here’s a sketch of slightly younger Ronin that was inspired by the big final fight at the end of my comic. I’ll post the finished version when I’m done which idk when that will be.

Here’s a sketch of Vivian that I want to paint one day.

Then here’s a character that my friends and I have nicknamed Evil Dad (I don’t have a good name for him yet, but the nickname describes him well). This is an old sketch from months ago, but I’m too lazy to do a new one and this is close enough to what I want him to look like (face proportions, facial features, and hair may change slightly) 

This is another sketch from months ago, but this is the only thing I had for one of the other main characters Emon (the one that’s in blue/green and at the most top part of the drawing). This has a younger depiction of him with his past partners (Hisashi and unnamed character who’s going through a massive redesign). Emon used to be a hardcore criminal who worked for Chen with Evil Dad, but then stopped after a series of events that I’ll get into later (let’s just say it involves a lot of death-), then basically turns into the uncle/father-like figure and instructor to Ronin, Vivian, Luna, and another character named Aries.

If I ever do any legit reference sheets for this comic, I’ll post a more detailed post about each of the characters and go into my interpretation of young Ronin. But for now, if anyone is interested in learning more about the characters or just the comic in general, I’m always free to chat about it. 

Also here’s another sketch of Ronin, but I put it under the break because it has a depiction of smoking.

So, for Valentines Day, I decided to make some gifts for a couple of my friends. One of them really likes Kai, so I decided to draw him for her.

[nerdwaifuu-art]

Here’s my piece for @ninjago-calendar . I had an absolute blast and I’m so grateful to be a part of this project.

Plus this was a nice way to practice more complex compositions cause I have recently just been doing portraits or drawings with only one or two characters and I need more practice if I want to make a comic in a future (look out for stuff about that soon ;) )

Again, thank you so much for this opportunity.

[nerdwaifuu-art]
