I live! I didn't think anyone still looked at this place until I got an ask the other day ^^; I still sketch and develop my characters, I just haven't been posting. Here are some recent doodles of the brats!

[nijicx]

HIII are you still open for fanart of your ocs ? :0

Asking cause I was looking through old sketchbooks and saw old fanarts of Miss diss and really wanted to redraw her :>

I am! Sorry I haven’t been very active here, I took up a bunch of new hobbies and have been absorbed haha, but I’d absolutely LOVE to see it!

Loved spiderverse. When it comes to your characters, is there any alternate universe version of them you think would be interesting to explore or to have the original meet? Like a hero meets a villain version of themselves, etc.

So did I! The passion that has been put into both movies always re-ignites my passion to work on my own heroes~ As for them meeting alternate versions of themselves, I actually made a post a few years back about a little sidestory involving two villains of mine named PinPoint and Wayfarer in which they meet alternate selves. Pinpoints power is finding the exact duplicate of any object, so like, if you've lost a button from the same shirt, she could locate the other button if she was holding one of the remaining ones. Wayfarer on the other hand, can transport himself anywhere he's seen, and when Pinpoint shares a vision of a place that an object is, Wayfarer is able to transport them there instantly. But people don't have exact duplicates, even as twins its rare for someone to have completely identical DNA, so when Pinpoint touches people, she's able to see a version of themselves not of their dimension, and if she shares that vision with Wayfarer, he can take them hopping back and forth through it. The kids get accidentally sucked along with them as Pin and Wayfarer look for versions of themselves where their lives didn't take the route it did, and they end up meeting a few of their counterparts. I think the one I enjoyed daydreaming about is them meeting Jin's twin (who's name I cannot remember because I am a TERRIBLE OC creator! It will hit me 15 minutes from now while i do dishes im sure). Jin's twin didn't get born, his Art cells bonded to Jin's fetus instead allowing him control over his parasitic fetus's power. In that timeline Jin simply goes to culinary school more or less like he wanted, and meeting the brother that never actually existed really freaked everybody out since he isn't a conscious being in their dimension. Shimi's timeline actually doesn't change in the other dimension which also kinda freaks everyone out, even though in the other dimension he's slightly older than he is now. Winston finds out that he doesn't even go the hero route and simply goes to work and basically isn't present for that whole arc. Which allows him some very necessary self insight since he's an idiot and is allergic to any self awareness whatsoever lol Izumi remaining a villain in that timeline and trying to get back into their dimension is very fun to mess around with as well, like Pin and Wayfarer, Alternate Izumi would want to be in the dimension where he is saved by friends he never was allowed to make in this one. One day I'd love to do a little comic about it cause I LOVE alternate timeline shinanigans, but I don't have a single character I don't have fun thinking about if they met their alternate selves how that'd be like~

Saw the new spiderverse and it's given me back the bug to draw my kids. god help my sleep schedule Miguel reminds me of Shimi a lot and so I couldn't help myself

How about Garrote and his minions' side story?

Garrote doesn't really have any underlings! He's kinda a one man show on account of being like...8 different people xD. I think Vert could kinda be considered an underling, but the both of them are more like Generals in their little army, running different branches on their own. I'm not sure what you'd like to know about their part of the story but feel free to send a clarification question in! I'll be happy to answer~

I have a question for the power system you have for your original universe. Similar to how other shows with powers have some type of item that can negate or completely cancel out people's abilities from working(Like MHA having quirk cancelling handcuffs and such) what kind of item would negate the powers in your universe if you've thought that far?

Not quite yet! I've been super busy lately, but I don't think I will be including anything like that. In their universe everyone mutated differently based on their environment. People who live in different climates and near certain facilities and weather types would all have taken in, and been effected by different strains, well, differently. I think for there to be one type of negater just wouldn't work in their world, or at least, if they WERE able to perhaps focus on a specific region, with a specific mutagen, and formulate something that targets that specific strain, it's possible for them to come up with some sort of light inhibitor for that region, but I think in their universe the it's a little trickier to pinpoint the source mutagen that would work on absolutely everyone. I definitely have some characters who have mutations that allow them to affect others mutations, though I haven't really decided yet how to adjust them for the new world. Haywyre's ability used to be that upon contact with another person, it made their mutagenic cells unstable and they'd fire at random out of their control. But that was back when I was still operating her as someone with a "quirk" and in that canon everyone has a singular source code if you will, for how they have mutated. I'm not sure I wanna go that route, or if I do, I would likely dial it back quite a ways, make it somewhat strain based. Also in their world they are mostly dealing with the issue of allowing people to use their powers at all, so the public conversation on inhibitors wouldn't quite be so established yet. BNHA's world also accounts for almost it's entire population being mutated, whereas I think mine will probably be only around 8-19% mutated. So it wouldn't be quite widespread enough for those things. TLDR: I'm not sure yet! I guess I still have much much more to ponder than I thought!

Will you update your OC Master list with everyone's new ref sheets? Since the one pinned doesn't have the old links anymore?

Oh absolutely, this whole place needs a face-lift. The masterlist will be growing as well, since it now needs to include all comic exclusive characters and villains I've been holding onto in my brain cause they didn't fit BNHA. I need to finish Toshi's crew, and Scissor Candy, and a few staff of the school~ I have been updating the Toyhouse with all current Art of all existing characters though, so this is the most up to date resource that exists until I move into my new office space at the end of this month and begin lining and coloring thier model sheets: https://toyhou.se/nijicx/characters/folder:668140 Feel free to peruse that for now if anyone would like!

Gonna be honest here, it's going to be hard to say goodbye to teen Diss, but I'm intrigued to see where you take things going forward.

Teen Diss is going nowhere, she'll be 18-19 in the bulk of the comic. Still thinking ill be having them all meet younger like they are, and then reassembling in thier college years for the real thing. Cause I too do not wanna say goodbye to wee teen hothead idiot Diss either lol

Maybe he was born with it, maybe it's just his eyeball hairs.

"Take out the Chimera" Ren and Kuze get a very tempting offer to take Garrote out of commission. My piece for the @ahdozine! It is raising money for the real heroes, Doctors without Borders, and is still available to purchase if you'd like to see my other piece! https://www.instagram.com/ahdozine/

Oh my god in the last week like 30+ booby bots have followed me. BEGONE AND LEAVE ME TO MY TRICKERY

First draft of the power structure of their world, it's still very much a work in progress as I'm still not happy with something about it, but this was fun to do nonetheless and got a lot of my ideas out there. In their world classifications for types of mutagens just became a thing so there's some colloquial/non scientific names in there while they are still studying them. Most of my kids fit into AMPs and ARCs, still wanting to find a better name for mutants thats not AS mouthy but I'm workin' on it~

[nijicx]

They college aged now. Now that their power system is sort of in place, the next thing is to make everyone model sheets and start filling in BG characters :D God I will never get around to making this a comic will I?

I love how Arakawa clearly wrote detailed backstories for her characters and just like… never elaborates on them. I found an old interview where she was asked why she didn’t include a resolution for Hawkeye and Mustangs goals and her response was essentially “cause this story is about Ed :)”

She’s my biggest inspiration.
