i'm going to think out loud now
ugh... tbh i'm fucking tired. Of my life
i don't know what to do about it. this emptiness and this lump at the same time
jeez... I don't have time or energy for anything because of my studies
i adore it impossibly much. It's a masterpiece to me
I think there could have been an outcome where Nimona's energy is too strong to be overshadowed by one action, and she could absorb Ballister. Both would disappear, I guess
i haven't finished drawing something cute yet, so check this out
love and miss their dynamic
i'm drawing something...
i'm back.
here's a little sketch of Nimona, design from the artbook
very promising! Will this au have a sequel? Hmmm...
I think it would be interesting if the two of them swapped identities.🤔
A timid, thousand-year-old shapeshifter child who longs to gain recognition from the people of the kingdom by helping the knights.
A rampant and belligerent civilian knight, because she was framed, she had no choice but to become complacent and try to prove her innocence.
It feels like it will be a very interesting story too...!
always a monster, never a human
always a traitor, never a knight
always a murderer, never a hero
I still think Ballister might not have gone back to Ambrosius and only occasionally let the latter near him out of sheer interest. Nimona always helped him escape in time to leave Amb with nothing.
if it doesn't become popular... idk... i don't know
hell that's adorable!
I drew a Nimona "paper" snowflake for an art trade with @euphreana
based on this scene:
he was just a kid
One thing that pisses me off about the criticism towards Ambrosius ( in the movie ) is how people be like, “he never loved Ballister, if he did then he would’ve believed him sooner”
Did you guys not understand the point of the movie? Clearly not, so lemme run it down for you:
A) Ambrosius never hurt Ballister physically, maybe emotionally during their fight at the wall, but they were clearly both in their feelings
B) Ambrosius didn’t even WANT to go on a manhunt for Ballister! Who chimed in first? Todd—fucking Thoddeus Sureblade, the same man who verbally and PHYSICALLY assaults Ballister made it clear that he would make Ballister suffer if he caught him, and guess what? That’s exactly what he did!
C) People giving shit to Ambrosius for “not realizing sooner” on how corrupt the Institute is really shouldn’t talk; this is based on real life and how we live a corrupt government, yet because of all the propaganda we are fed EVEN AS CHILDREN, it takes us awhile to break out of—hell it took me awhile to realize that the two party system is chicken shit and neither party cares about us
D) To add onto point C, Ambrosius was intended to be the model minority THAT WAS STILL REPLACEABLE HAD HE REBELLED—we see this with the Director stabbing Nimona shapeshifted into Ambrosius AND THE LITERAL FUCKING ENDING WHERE THE DIRECTOR POINTS HER STAFF LAZER AT ALL THE KNIGHTS AND AMBROSIUS
E) Lastly, if y’all are gonna ask why Ambrosius didn’t realize the system was corrupt sooner, use the same energy for Ballister deadass. No because you can’t judge one character but then ignore another character who legit goes through the same struggles. They’re both victims of the system that the Institute shaped and that’s why it’s powerful when they take down the walls, the system, and reshape their relationship.
I need people to please be for fucking real right now
a character sheet with Nimona from my new AU "monsters are back". There really are monsters in this world and they are not good beasts. And now Nimona is leading the hunt for them..... She has a reason
I really enjoyed drawing him
Ballister:
Ambrosius:
a moment of relaxation in the hustle and bustle of the city
a short au in a two page sketch. I like to imagine that Bal and Amb might not have seen each other since the wall fell
the Goldenhearts' first meeting a few months later
Pure curiosity- is the knight in your recent art anyone particular, or just a random knight?
Btw, love your art.
they're just random knights, but it's nice to know you're interested
