shiny moe anime eye designs for the ninja. I'm not married to these designs at all but it was fun to try this. also i end up only ever drawing top lids but here's some semblance of their eye shapes.
other Lloyd options i like better.
Nya has 2-tone eyes, brown and blue. Jay has blue eyes with yellow specks, Cole has regular ol' brown eyes but shaped kinda rocky. Zane's looks more like a color contact, Kai too has brown eyes but more orange-y and red.
can't for the life of me decide what Lloyd's moe eye should look like. i wondered if maybe his unique color as a Lego means his eyes would also look less natural. maybe no pupil?
i much prefer him having a warmer grassy green eyes (shifted to yellow more than blue, midtone) than unnatural neon unless he's using his powers.
I think his original color should be a really unassuming brown. his golden power eyes would look sparkly.
Ninjago scene reanimated!
I had this one in my WIPs folder for a while, but decided to go back and complete it! This was honestly a challenge, but hey that's what makes the learning process fun! xD Enjoy!
GRRRRR WOOF WOOF OAOENFOAGSNFDOSDGO i love your swap AU, especially Kai's design in the Core Gi! I don't have any specific questions, other than these:
What is something you want to tell us about your Swap AU that hasn't been asked, or you just want to share.
Since you did Kai's Core Gi as Water, would you ever consider doing Nya's Core Gi as Fire?
That's it! Have a good day! ♥️
HEYYA! MEOW MEOW
First of all, here is the second request right away! Nya in the fire core gi!
NOW, about what to tell about the AU...if I'm being honest, there are many aspects to what could change or be similar here in comparison to the Canon media. Like how the kidnapping in the pilot season went, Kai's journey with his fear of water while being the master of it, their meeting with their parents, monstrosity, relationships with the other ninja etc.
As i still have plans to post about these topics in the future, I can give some thoughts how SWAP Kai and Nya lived pre Pilot season for now!
But first of all, because many people have asked me or misunderstood it, Kai is NOT wearing a dress in the pilot season timeline. It's a Chinese robe called changpao/ changshan, usually worn by men. As a kid he wore another kind of clothing tho, the Tangzhuang!
A FEW IDEAS NOW THAT I HAD FOR THE TIMELINE:
1. As there are no Canon sources (from what I know) to where Kai's fear of water came from, I'd like to make it here that Kai almost drowned in the lake as a kid and got the fear from that point on. Nya had only glanced away for one second before that happened, and she was also the one to get him out of the water. Terrified by the possibility of almost losing her brother, she now carried him around like the back of her head, or a duckling really LMAO
2. Kai is still obsessed with his hair and looks. When Kai only started to get interest in hairgel, Nya had made the habit of keeping her hair short to be able to afford it. That way the hair won't get in her way while working, and it's also easier to manage with that way. Rather spending the money on hairgel for Kai to keep him happy than to care for her need.
3. Nya always celebrated Kai's birthdays, ignoring her own. It was only when Kai was old enough to understand this when he tried his best to do the same to her on her own birthdays.
I think this is all for now, as i can't really remember more. I will keep updating if I do though!
