#nnt redesigns

[the-face-in-the-mirror]

Sometimes what it's really all about is... just girls bein' friends. Just gals being pals. Lord knows Ellie could use some of those, and by god is she excited to have a girl friend. Diane is... a little less enthusiastic, but she'll warm up in no time, I'm sure.

Diane is so fun to draw, honestly, and I really enjoyed drawing Elizabeth on her shoulder and in her hair. They deserve to be cute and I'm here to deliver.

I also used a new brush this time around, and I think I like it so far! A little different than what I'm used to but I love the way it looks for anime lineart.

Enjoy!

Queen Elizabeth redesign since I'm not a fan of og design at

[spro-o]

Escanor redesign + some panel redraws from some chapters I reread recently :3c

I decided to make Escanor look like his wanted poster because his actual design is so boring and generic, and this gives me some motivation to shit on him less too

(Goodbye to crack headcanon that Escanor is racist ghsgdjsbds)

I'm not exactly sure how to approach this, so how about we start with some redesigns I've made and explaining the thought process behind the designs? We'll start off with the man, the myth, the legend himself:

Meliodas

I'll be honest. I do not like the shota/childlike appearance that is Meliodas. I get that it's suppose to be part of a running shtick of, "oh my God, he's a child—wait no he's a grown ass man?!" or a personal preference for the author (who makes a lot of his adult characters look like children/quite young for their age), but it's playing into one of the tropes I hate (looks young but is actually an ancient being). If it's your cup of tea, more power to you, but it's not my kind of flavor, so we're redoing him design-wise while also trying to keep some things (colors mainly).

So for his design, the thought process was like this:

Since he's a demon, I was like, "okay, bet" and told myself to pick one (1) from the three (3) options I gave myself, which was dragon, goat and crow— dragon in reference to his sin (Wrath) which is usually associated with dragons, goat because of goats being associated with hell and Baphomet and the Devil always have goat features, and crow because Morgan le Fay (which is his future wife in my rewrite, surprise! This bit is moreso fanservice to my middle school self. I'm sorry Melizabeth lovers, don't eat me alive)'s animal is usually the crow and crows are seen associated with death and that ties in with his curse of immortality.

Now, the goat jumped at me the most because it's the one most heavily associated with Hell, and he is the son of the Demon Lord whom I named Felec (based on Arthurian Legend, the little information we have on him), and I saw these amazing goats for someone's DnD character, and it just fueled my need to draw him as a goat more. The original idea was to give him goat-like features which was the ears, horns, the pupils, but then I got to thinking, "man, the seven deadly sins are all suppose to be from different races, yet it's hard to tell with how all of them looked practically human" and I know I can easily say, "ah no, this is just his human form, his true form is a lot more demonic and he needs the human form to blend in", but then I thought, "that's so boring", so lo and behold, I start with his eyes and worked my way from there.

I changed his hair to curls because his old spiky hair was not working, and his outfit had got to go because I thought, "he'd look more sick with goat legs", and made him two different outfits to accommodate that and to fit the medieval fantasy setting better. I was thinking of blending some attributes of a dragon and a crow to make him more demonic like, but I don't know, I just really like what I made and thought other features would throw everything off balance. Maybe he comes off more like a cursed goat and rolls with that idea so people don't suspect him of anything, but hey, I can always tweak it to make him more demonic if it doesn't come off that way. And I did not want to give him dark colors for his fur—that's going to go to his youngest brother, Zeldris.

(Here's my first official post! Hope you enjoy @gh0stofyesterday )

“Of course I can bake with my child. She needs to learn how to bake somehow!” -Elizabeth Liones

I said I would post this, so here it is! Probably will not use this design again.

My Nanatsu no Taizai rewrite/redesign is coming along swimmingly

[keewu]

Is it only me that literally does not have an interest on ANY of the canon ships in nnt? Like Melizabeth is a good story, like 3000 year long love story and you better know I'm eating all the angst on AO3 up alr. But it has too many weird aspects, like Elizabeth being a child etc. Also just Elizabeths personality like before she regained her memories she was so annoying to me after she was better and I loved her dynamic with Merlin (want more of their sisterly bond btw) overall Liz x Meliodas Is more interesting to me.

I've already explained in another post why I don't like Kiane, but I'll say it again. DIANE IS 15!! 15 If she was human!! like why did that have to be canon it ruined the cutest ship for me tbh, cause I see King as an adult. Also just cause king met her when she was a kid and he seemed the same as he was now. So yeah.

Banlaine... The only thing wrong with what could've been my favorite ship is the thing we all know. WHY IS SHE A GODDAMN CHILD. I've literally done so many redesigns of her which now I'm thinking I should post.

Escalin, now I know this technically isn't canon but it's semi-canon in my opinion so I'll just let it slide. Tbh I really feel like Merlin is way too inexperienced with emotional love (yes emotional love y'all now my girl has experience ;) like she needs to sort herself out first I think. And understand the difference between platonic and romantic love (I'm looking at her crush on Mel as a her not getting platonic love at all) and even if she did have all that figured out I just don't see them being together, like he worships her I think its cute but freaky. And I just don't see her like I love with someone XD. In my head canon she's on the like aro spectrum. I fear home girl has too many problems for it to be cleared out in his lifetime. (Btw I'm not saying he can't help her or anything I just think she has to like love herself first yeah)

I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Practicing my lighting and wanted to draw more Queen Merlin AU outfits

[jbpendragon]

Hey Nakaba, please tell me you actually know how to draw cats and Cath’s current design is by choice.

What kind of clothes would you redesign Guila and Jericho into a modern world setting?

I feel like Guila’s fashion would relatively be the same... Most of her outfits are pretty casual and wouldn’t stand out much in a modern setting. Like most of her dresses and that one tanktop-sweatpants look she has. She dresses plainly, but well. She has a big wardrobe but a lot of it is all a similar look from what we’ve seen...

Jericho on the other hand... we don’t see her much out of her training uniform and when she’s at home, she’s usually in some type of dress. Jericho likes dressing femininely but I also think she’d dress like an athleisure lesbian on her day-to-day looks. You know. THAT vibe.

The thing about NnT is that it’s meant to be medieval fantasy-esque, but it’s also fantasy in the sense he merges more modern style into the clothes and culture and stuff... So it isn’t tooooo hard to rework their looks in today’s setting.

Ban and King: *arguing so loudly from their bathroom the entire Boar Hat can hear them* Elizabeth: Sir Ban and Sir King are fighting again... Meliodas: Nice. Merlin: You know what they're like, WHY would you make them share a bathroom??? Meliodas: Meliodas: Meliodas: I like drama.

The female side of the Liones family.

I changed Veronica outfit to blue because everyone wears those colors more than that pink she had on plus I made her eyes the color of Nadja for more of a resemblance.

I'm slowly, but surely working on the NNT rewrite, but please have this sketch of Aleron in the meantime

Fic Rec!

Any NNT fic readers out there? Not sure if you know this, but there was some awesome stuff published just the other day!

How Not to Re-Raise Demonic Children by @thisisaverycreativeurl and @galfridus1 just updated with two amazing chapters! If you’re reading this fic (and you should... it’s so creative and funny and amazing) and you were wondering what was behind some of Merlin’s motivations, we finally are getting some insight.

Tales from Camelot by Cupidme is feeding my new obsessions with Arthur, Zeldris, and Gelda. The new chapter that just came out is a great blend of world-building, emotion, and sexy sweetness. I’m crazy over this fic, and you should be too.

this spark of black (that i seem to love) by @baconwaffle2016 might be fic of the year, if my opinion means anything. She just released the first part of three, and let me tell you, you are not ready. I have been screaming about this fic for weeks and it is so incredible. Just... go read it.

Also I realized that The Divine Gambit, which I began publishing this week, is my 50th NNT published fan fiction! (This doesn’t even include all the prompts I’ve done here!) I can’t believe that I’ve written so much in two years. Who would have thought that being bored one night and trying a show on Netflix would lead me here. I’m in the middle of redesigning my blog, but if you’re interested to see what I’ve done, I have a full list of my fics up here.
