Ok I know I just finished drawing them as semi realistic cats but then I thought what if they were even MORE cat

so here goes, hopefully this will satisfy my hyperfictation for the day

And btw Yi is a munchkin cat sorry I don't make the rules

Also prayers for Fuxi, poor kitty has rashes 🙏

Hello nine sols fandom

[goingbattycatty]

Still alive. Wanted to see if I can accurately draw the Sols that I haven't drawn yet, turned out fine. I do want to draw the other Sols in a much bigger piece (especially Lady Ethereal, Jiequan, the Fengs, and Goumang).

Also this shitty drawing should have not taken me a week to actually finish, I could've been doing other artworks by then, but noooooooooo, here I am.

Motherfucker. I'm glad that I'm finished with this, I can focus on other stuff now.

Grandpa! Nooooo!

okay so i recently played and finished nine sols, easily my favorite game of 2024 and i love unraveling the narrative and how it all weaves together. an aspect i really love about it is how each of the bosses you fight have an element of irony to them in the lore and in how they're defeated

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD

each of the bosses in the game has a seal attached to them, and each seal has a symbol that these people ideally should represent, given that they're in a major council and have major positions of power on their home planet and what not. (i'm gonna be assuming the reader has played the game here)

kuafu's seal signifies loyalty, and while he is loyal to yi he shies away from the tiandao council pretty easily

goumang's seal is equality even though she's probably the sol who is most racist towards the apemen and in the end she ends up a mindless husk equal to her brainwashed soldiers

yanlao's seal is legacy and he's obssessed with it to a fault, leaving behind regular people on penglai to preserve rich artifacts on the ship. by the end of the story they're as good as destroyed and he really couldn't preserve anything, not even himself

jiequan's seal signifies discipline, which works for what a warrior is supposed to be but jiequan has shown repeatedly that he's brash and impulsive, torturing yi and threatening his friends for kicks. he uses technology to mutate his body so he could become stronger, and his downfall comes when he abuses these body enhancers too much to the point where his body melts. his lack of discipline in regards to enhancing his strength killed him.

lady ethereal's seal is benevolence, and for the most part she tries to be benevolent and put her people in a pleasant dream world but the benevolence becomes twisted to a point that everyone in it goes insane the moment they're out of it. her end comes as a result of yi's benevolence in letting her die rather than her own

ji's sol seal significes insight and yeah he's insightful, there's not much irony there. he had literally seen everything to come from his race thanks to his immortality and he decided to basically do nothing until he found an opportunity for yi finally kill him.

fuxi's sol is intergrity and i don't really have anything to add there. nuwa's sol on the other hand is selflessness, which she really didn't have. instead of solving the whole mutant problem in the residential area she was put in charge of, she put up a party and drugged everyone so they'd be oblivious to their real problems. the only selflessness she really felt was towards fuxi but even that was flawed. she let him stay alive in agony thanks to the tianhuo mutation.

eigong's sol seal signifies knowledge, and while she did hold a lot of it, she lacked the wisdom to realize immortality was unattainable. she kept pushing and pushing for it and the only thing that resulted in it was the end of her race because she didn't know when to quit.

yi isn't safe from the irony either, his seal says innovation and while he is one of the best scientific innovative minds on penglai his mind is full of it and he really can't see that there's no way to save everyone, like his master. that's what his whole arc is about, he's already an innovator scientifically but through the course of the game he comes to innovate himself
