Working on a YouTube channel called Nightmaren shenanigans posting the link in here for you NiGhTS fans to come down and watch

[realareturns]

A closer look at Wizeman’s defeat and damage animations in JoD since they’re usually hard to see in game

I also zoomed in on his throne and found there’s an image on the back of it? Some kind of figure that doesn’t really match any character in the game

SELPH!?!?

uhhh the staff is based off of that mirror staff rumor and their uhhh whatever those are bends under their hood when its on

selph is a defective nightmaren like nights, and they are suuuuper awesome sauce

here are my old arts of my selph design

it changed a bit but yknow, similar

[magmaticmachine]

thinking about NiD Selph fan designs and how even though the boss was scrapped, even though all that officially remains (that we know of so far) is an emblem, a nameplate, and a theme, after nearly three decades, traces of the character still echo on

idk it's just kind of neat how this ghost of a boss captures the imagination. it might be cool to see the original concept art someday but seeing people bring that ghost to life is fun

Drew NiGHTS and Selph in some outfits from a little outfit challenge I found!

I uh.. cant really remember where the post was, but I still have the image! (If anyone knows the original post, you could probably send it to me so I can edit it into the post ^^)

"Self - the Lost Nightmaren" WIP

For anyone who doesn't know, I was actually a big fan of the NiGHTS series back in my high school days. Admititly I only grew up with "Journey of Dreams" as the original "Into Dreams" was created before I was born. However, the world of dreams that SEGA DreamCast had made deeply fascinated me and remains a fond memory to this day I happen to have a story in mind for. This is not that.

A short while ago, I found myself drifting back to my NiGHTS days and decided to revisit a video by a user called DiGi Valentine on YouTube. It felt nice to revisit this character analysis when one of their videos popped up in my recommendation. It was called "Searching for Selph." A documentary about an unused boss discovered in the game's code that has taken years to datamine in an attempt to preserve the original NiGHTS into Dreams. This fascinated me, and what's more, no official art of the scraped character has been discovered yet. There are assets and even an unused song in the data files, but no art has been dug up. My mind went crazy thinking about what this character could look like, so I did some digging myself with the current research, evidence, and possible theories concocted in the last 2 years. This is the result of that brain child, with scribbled notes for good measure.

Now, this is how I think the character COULD look based on the things I've found and looking at other artistic interpretations. This is in no way canon. If anyone is curious about the character or even the project itself, I highly recommend this👇video and its updates:

Let's hope that someday we can find what this character looks like.

Got bored. Drew my own take on Selph. Bon Apetit.

Know Thyself.

[octocharger]

drops my Selph concept

[silverpsychedelic]

The last ask made me remember that I had very quickly sketched out something for an arc that happens after the fall of Wizeman, where Selph is discovered and quickly makes it apparent that they are not in the mood to play nice.

I'm still plotting stuff out (and I haven't even settled on a design for Selph yet, really), but they and Jackle are connected in ways that won't become apparent until Selph is released from the place they've been imprisoned for the past thousand-something years. And that doesn't happen until Wizeman is overthrown and all skeletons in his closets are discovered (Selph being a major one of em hoo boy).

Jackle hasn't done anything honestly, Wizeman was the key player in all of it. But with Wizeman gone, and Selph having built up so much anger and contempt from isolation and being forced into unfair captivity, they need someone to blame. And the only person they recognize that's still remaining is the Mantle himself.
