A knight, a nerd, and two reapers walk into a bar…
For a death god, Thirteen sure is lightweight.
I was in a bit of a time crunch so the proportions and posing are probably more than a little bit off, but my New Years' drawing is finally complete!
I've been made aware of NND COMPASS, which is a Japanese-exclusive MOBA game with some pretty cool character designs. There's a character in it, a grim reaper named 13. Later, I was also made aware of the fact that people shipped him with Adam Yuriev (who's an ice knight, so it would be more accurate to say it would be like shipping Gordeau and Londrekia together). I like Gordeau/Chaos, so the gears in my head started turning, and I got the idea to draw all four of them together! The more I've worked on this, the more I've considered the really fun dynamics they could have. (I'm also drawing something else with these four, but I don't want to show it.)
Even though they don't really like-like each other, Thirteen and Adam are on good enough terms to hang out with one another on a frequent enough basis, and Adam's always pretty fun to tease (at least to Thirteen). Gordeau and Chaos, on the other hand, do genuinely like being around one another, but when Gordeau gets a bit too "forward," Chaos, despite being a stoic intelligent type, starts getting flustered more easily. Together, they'd all be hella drinking buddies.
Happy New Year, everyone! May 2026 be merry and bright.
