i've decided that i wanna post here about my.. uhh.. project? not really, but just a fun thing for me, myself, and maybe other people who are familiar with topics and characters it's based on.
so,
are you familiar with mobile game called "nu: carnival"?
if yes - good, this ride is going to be easier for you.
if no - basically it's a harem 18+ gatcha game about a dude that get isekaied into magical world, and he fucks (or gets fucked) a *lot* of sexy dudes. wonderful!
now,
i took the world of nu carnival, card mechanics
and my favorite characters from different media
combined them, and self inserted myself, naturally (how am i gonna enjoy this otherwise??)
how to call this thing? idfk, honestly, i don't think this even needs a name
but currently, i'm drawing basic cards for every character, and after that, i'll start drawing event based ssr cards ✨️ (which is very exciting)
i draw a lot of sketches, and i don't have finished pieces because i plan to learn "nu: carnival" animation style and animate every card, so i don't wanna do the same work twice! but i need to pump a lot of designs out, so i just sketching them out. 🫶
So to relieve myself of stress and spread a bit of X-Mas/Holiday cheer, I will be doing cute random doodles for friends and randos I followed here!! They will be random...I will be snooping on your trolls like a detective...I will capture the energy they give off....I WILL BE A DORK!!! So...yea...
one piece is very popular, and i'm not sure if zoro needs an introduction.
i really like melonteee video about him, if you have the time, you should totally watch it!
very strong, very determined, sometimes silly stupid, and very straightforward, nods nods best himbo ✨️
i've been watching one piece sincee... i wanna say 2014, i quickly catch up to releasing episodes, and was religiously watching every week. around wholecake island i got very inpatient with filler episodes, so i started reading manga.
i remember i had one piece oc that joined straw hat crew and was in love with zoro 🩷 ofcourse. hehe, her whole joke that she had no boobs in one piece world where every girl has big big bazongaz...
uh, but i need to talk about zoro and my designs!!
anyways, dunno why, really, but i really liked zoro, and i started brainstorming this whole nu isekai thing he was one of my top picks for the crew >:3c
really proud of Rare outfit i drew for him, it looks very cool, teehee! i like layered crop-tops for zoro. omg, points, he's basically shirtless all the time!
(gifs from one piece)
another human *does a lil dance*, i like how this list started with yokais and ends with humans ✨️
zoro has a green gem in his left ear. *points and jumps* yes-yes one of his iconic earrings contains his gem!
his conterpart is quincy, which i think is fitting, both buff and strong, both humans.
they found each other by accident in port, both wondering about longing for the sea. they bonded over their similar experiences and mutual love of boose.
like i mentioned in post about julian, zoro met with him in water territory.
zoro and julian traveled on ships to different adventures. some were uneventful, some more exciting. after roughly a year, both men returned to klein kingdom, settling in water territory.
renting a simple apartment. they formed a tight bond, sometimes they flirt with each other, and they can share bed a few times, but they don't consider themselfs lovers or a couple, friends with benefits if you will!
i imagine zoro would find some great swords in nu: cafnival world in his travels, drawn to them by their legendary power (or something like that). yeah, it's no kuina's wado or cursed sandai kitetsu, but it's not the same life or story, so it would be fitting for him to find new blades filled with new meanings and powers.
i remember when i just opened the game, and i saw his face, i was like "yep yep, i know who is my favorite already". curly red head with a mischievous smile? woooo, that's the stuff baby!
but julian resonated with me on another level too, super depressed person, who doesn't let go of his past mistakes, who will make everything to sacrifice himself for a good deed to atone for his past.. but he's also very kind, brave, flirty, adventurous!
very happy with my outfit designs, except N one, that's his original outfit, such a slay tho. i received some feedback, and his original outfit ranked higher than mine, haha... ah.. well, that's okay too!
(screenshots from the game "the arcana")
julian is also simply a human, and he is 37 thanks to this post, very compelling evidence! btw the tallest mf in the group!!
he has a red gem in his right eye to mimic his plague red eye in games. he woke up in nu: carnival world already with crystal eye, so it wasn't painfull dw dw
julians conterpart is, surprise surprise, olivine!
it kinda happened like "uuhh other picks are so easy, sorry julian yours is not as fitting 💔"; but it's still good because one, they're both human, two, they're both slutty, what else do you need? hehe
so julian got isekaied a year or so prior to main three, and oh, ✨️ spoilers ✨️met zoro in water territory. they bonded together over longing for sea adventures and drinking in bars! so they both went on some silly and exciting adventures. by time of main events, they both are back and renting an apartment in port town, in water territory.
i'll tell more about them in zoro's post ùwú
later, he, zoro, apollo and ginnojo would make good drinking buddies ♡
i imagine them going around local bars and just having fun together, sharing news or adventures with each other, and helping to uncover some past memories!
what i can say about extraordinary character form jojo?
well, he is AMAZING, he is so cool and handsome, and funny and like!! aahh!! himbo energy too, muwahh
i'm not really fond of sr design just because i couldn't think of a fancy hat he could wear with that stunning outfit!
but i think, i'll come back to it later with fresher view and i'll fix it
the r outfit tho?? oohh so yammy 😩💕
competing with araki style is a tall order, but i'm trying to make mista's outfits as fashionable and practical as possible. after all, his original outfit was the most expensive out of everyone
(gifs from the show!)
i think it's our first fully human character! woohoo
i made him slightly older, he is 18 in anime, and like uuuhh it's a bit younger than i thought he was! guess that gansta world forces you to grow up faster..
mista has an orange gem on his right hand
his conterpart is dante
mista got isekaied in classic fashion: *poof* you're here, you don't remember a whole lot, try and figure stuff out yourself
oh! and let's say he was 18 when he got isekai, but he lived there for two years, and now he's 20, yeah, that works!
i got so excited when nu: carnival introduced "blood secret" event! holy shit?! guns are canon in nc world?! before i thought that mista and hiruma would invent guns, but now they just need to steal them from klein kingdom's mafia or whatever!
amazing exciting
he can live in the light territory capital city, in areas with high mafia activity. maybe he even was a part of organization, where he got his gun
he and hiruma would click together, i feel, like in friendly rivalry like zoro and sanji from one piece
they have similar interests, but they're very competitive! fun dynamic
ginnojo was my first boy i liked from ayakashi just because his ssr was my first. i was like, yep, i'll make him my fav just because he was my first lol
ginnojo is a shy bookshop keeper, a veteran of war, and he is VERY shy around women
he is blushing and stuttering his way through every interaction with mc in the game (i'm exaggerating lol)
his story was kinda the most boring one, unfortunately :c
but they compinsated with ssr hidden stories and small interactions in events
in game, he doesn't have anything interesting in his design that would reflect his dragon nature. you can see on official artwork that he has like a few scales on his cheek and arm, and that's it. i think it's a mist opportunity! so i added more scales and a dragon tale for him.
(screenshots from ayakashi: romance reborn)
yes!! he is THAT OLD, but don't fret, there's is even more ancient dude (who i really like too, but he didn't get into nu: carnival line up)
ayakashi live longer lives and seemingly don't age, and in nc yokai have long lives too, like kuya and quicy for example
ginnojo has a blue gem on his left hand
his conterpart is yakumo
ginnojo is kind of weird yokai as well, he is a water dragon. how do you become a water dragon yokai in nc universe? i don't know!
ginnojo lives in deep water territory. even though, water territory seems to be more inhabited by people, like light territory, i bet there is still secluded places for rare mythical creatures to occupy.
i imagined his living by a high mountain lake, but looking over nc map (i'll probably post it sometime later) it seems that water territory is very flat 😭
and i don't want another yokai chilling in wood territory. i know that it's often their birth place, and it's safer from humans, but idk it's a big concentration of sexy dudes in one place lmao they can't be ALL neighbors to each other yk
water territory seems to have dence forests too, judging from the main story (where rei lives), so i bet there is a place for a magical secret lake or something suitable for a water dragon. *huffs and puffs*
ayakashi is a gatcha otome game about cute anime boys that you can date. obviously, i ate that shit up 😌
ayakashi is about a girl, yokais in human form, bad spirits set in meiji or taisho period
the game doesn't update anymore, but it has all the stories fully released, and you can play it for the story, not for the gatcha :>
anyways, kuya is a silly one, i didn't think i would like him at first. he is lazy, not very talkative, prefers not to be involved, and sleeps a lot. honestly, me irl
but his story unexpectedly caught my heart!
(screenshots from ayakashi: romance reborn)
how can i ever compete with these godly designs holy smokes
i turned kuyas existing earing into a purple gem
and his counterpart is.. kuya haha, that one was easy
like all other yokai, he was born in nc world, having bits and pieces of his memories from past life. kuya is tengu yokai, which is more mythical than normal animal (in nc all yokais were animals at their birth). it complicates things just a little, but there is some mythical creatures in nc, so i say it doesn't matter that much.
kuya lives in wood territory, too, but closer to the border with light territory. he enjoys human-made cuisines, and likes reading books. so he often visits villages and cities nearby.
tybalt was one of my fill ins villagers, and i really like his personality!
sporty dumb himbo guy, so energetic and lovely 💕
while i was hunting for apollo, tybalt became my partner on our island. then apollo showed up, and we became a polycule!
i think curls really fit him, and he's very hairy hehe uvu
(new horizons screenshots)
tybalt has a yellow gem on his diaphragm area 💛
and tybalts counterpart is karu/garu!
like apollo, tybalt was born in klein continent, he was a tiger, turned yokai. he is also lives in wood territory, like most yokais do.
tybalt builds his own gym house somewhere in the woods, close to mountains! he enjoys early morning jogs up those hills - work out from first minute he is awake 💪
he also speaks same language like apollo, and when they discover it, they kinda bonded over it and started checking in on each other from time to time. and they aren't neighbors, like you could think at first! wood territory is a big land full of dence dangerous forests. so that's just shows their dedication for their comradery ✨️
tbh, i got into apollo when i started playing animal crossing: poket camp, idk, he just got my heart by being a sweet goofball 🫶
obviously, apollo doesn't look like that in games, so this human design is all mine hehe
apollo's height and age are just a headcanon because nintendo doesn't have that kind of information for villagers!
sinse in games villagers often sport pretty simple clothes, apollo's normal outfit wasn't based on that.
(screenshots from new horizons and poket camp)
in nu:carnival, eiden (main character) has two familiars and clan members. clan members sport a gem that was given them by powerful sorcerer (he created the clan and then later put eiden into his place?? maybe?? it's complicated). gems contain a lagre portion of his essence, making them more powerful! woo!
(that's how i understood that.. i may be wrong haha)
so! every member has a unique gem in a unique place (they don't seem to repeat, at least not yet)
and apollo has his black gem on his back!
as far as i'm aware, colors of gems don't represent anything specific, they seem to match dominant color of characters. so, no overthinking here 👌
to decide how i'll go about events ssr desings (each event only features two to three characters), i've decided to tie each one to an existing clan member.
apollo's counterpart is edmond
apollo wasn't isekaied into nc world suddenly, like mallek and hiruma, but instead he was born into it. he was an eagle, turned yokai, who lives in wood territory. (i'll skip this nc lore exploration, sorry <:з)
apollo builds his own house deep in the woods, just living his slow life, wondering why he was born with a gem on his back.
fun fact! he is still able to talk.. uh... animal crossing language..? ig we can call it that lol
