do you remember that one Danganronpa maid/butler collab from last year? back when it was announced i noticed gonta wasn't included, so i took matters into my own hands
for the first image i was trying to replicate the art style used in the collab... but i liked this butler gonta design i made so much i drew him again, in more of my own art style
(edit: just moved the second image up the post and changed the text a bit. tumblr seems to not show the whole post properly on mobile?)
It's spooky season! So here are some spooky Gontas.
(Some of them have it better than the others!)
I came up with little scenarios for each one under the read more. They were fun to write :)
Vampire:
a vampire who had to adjust his diet after leaving the forest. He lived off animal blood during his time there, but when he returned his ""human"" family put him on to normal blood from blood banks. It was unfortunately a shock to the system and left him terrified of losing control near others. Aside from his fear of hurting others, I think vampire Gonta could make peace with the idea of needing to drink blood. Carnivores (and blood-drinking insects!) are a part of nature, and deserve to exist as much as other creatures, after all. But it's the 'potentially hurting others' part of the vampire package he has problems with.
Witch/Wizard:
a down-to-earth mage living in an enchanted forest that's somehow within reach of any village that needs him. He uses his magic to help insects and humans alike with gentle healing spells, spells for warmth, and protective wards amongst other things. He also helps with humane pest control, being able to charm bugs and bring them to his enchanted larger-on-the-inside greenhouse. It's said that if you tell an insect about your problem and politely ask it for help, he'll arrive on your doorstep within a few hours. It's also said that anyone who doesn't treat insects with respect will be cursed with bad luck - in reality, the 'curse' is that Gonta warns the insects to stay away from dangerous people and their territory. This could lead to vital crops dying from lack of pollination, so it's best to treat bugs nicely...
Demon:
a fallen angel with a love for living creatures so strong he would stand against gods. He uses his powers to avert disasters and make life easier for any human, animal or insect - but sometimes this goes against the interests of his superiors. E.g, intervening in religious battles, becoming friends with demons, performing 'miracles' to the point he makes people/creatures rely on him. His halo started to fracture after each "rebellion", and once it broke became lodged into his head like demon horns.
Zombie:
a corpse that wakes up. ...Uhh real talk for a second zombies creep me out, I can't stand thinking of them, so there's no story for this one sorry! Maybe it's some kind of Team Danganronpa "we wanted to make participants that could come back to life so we could make more killing games, but oh no! We fucked around and found out!" sort of scenario.
Werebeast:
a werewolf who sometimes enjoys his wolf form more than his human form. As a wolf, provided he's near a forest or other large expanse of countryside, he just has a grand old time running around and examining insects up close and enjoying his heightened senses. If he's not near the countryside, he coops himself up in his bedroom for fear of scaring others, and watches insects to pass the time. He's also very big and fluffy in wolf form.
Mad Scientist:
a doctor that uses himself as a test subject. His specialty is engineering biological components of insects into humans (hence the fly eye and antennae). Despite his tendency to enact crimes against humanity he's got a good bedside manner. You only go to him if you're desperate and you don't mind an insect modification or two. He seems insane, and he basically is, but he genuinely loves the chance to help people with his entomological knowledge.
To start off, I want to say a massive thank you @ultimatentomologist for your lovely post!! This was such a pleasant surprise - I hope this Gonta art can help express my gratitude!!
Your post perfectly encapsulates the kindness I keep seeing from the Gonta fanbase, in your tags and comments and asks. How you guys are so incredibly enthusiastic towards content featuring blorbo, and equally as incredible in your support of the people behind them. It's extremely heartwarming to see such kindness given so freely.
So, I want to continue my thanks to @ultimatentomologist, and expand it out to all you Gonta enjoyers. Thank you all for making this corner of Tumblr such a pleasant place to be!
Gonta's such a nuanced character and enjoyable on many levels for me, and I'm so glad there's others who enjoy all of him too. The things you guys post about him - from expressing how cute he is, all the way to digging deep through all the intricacies of his character and his various issues… I hope I can help spark appreciation for Gonta the same way you do for me!
And personally, thank you for all your interactions with me and/or my art, whether it's likes, tags, messages, asks, anything. I love hearing from y'all. You've helped brighten some difficult days, and calmed my nerves on others.
I hope this Gonta art can help express my gratitude to you all!! 💗
On one hand she is a villain who sics monsters on the heroes and has killed people. On the other hand they did kill her mom. And she's one of the more sympathetic characters since the original Ion was kind of a manipulative dick to her and she didn't really get to be a normal girl.
Happy Belated Birthday and end to Gonta Week to my favourite character in the whole universe <33 Only an essay could describe how much I adore Gonta and how much he means to me, but for now Ill leave it at this. Thank you everyone who made anything for Gonta week!! I had such a nice time seeing everyone's creations :,]
