I doubt they know that smoking kills.

I'm so thirsty for this man

Here's some Nina for you

[00r3n00]

Nina was sold to the Devils Dance Casino at the age of 15 and has been working there as a Croupier to buy off her freedom ever since. So I was thinking about the maths of it all..

A young womans freedom would've cost about $800. As a croupier, she only made $2 a day, which means that it would've taken her 400 days to pay for her freedom. IF we don't count in her uncles debt and the cost of living (living space, food, clothing, etc..)

Her uncle went to the Devils Dance Casino for about 10 years, at least three times a week, spending the money of Ninas parents (who passed away due to a sickness) for his gambling. Considering how unlucky the man was and how much he lost due to the gambling, we can assume that he owned the Casino a lot of money. The guy died, the debt goes to Nina.

Now, it seems like it would've been impossible for Nina to pay for her debt and her freedom in the span of seven years, and you'd be absolutely right. BUT, here I come to patch over that plot hole. The casino was a highly beloved place and it consisted of three floors. The first floor was for the commoners, the second for those who had more money to lose and the third for the rich men who didn't even care about how much they made or lost. Now, there was also the basement.

The basement was for the criminals, gang members and such. They had their own secret entrance and no one from the upper floors knew of them. Those criminals were dangerous and working as a croupier for those tables was a high risk of losing ones life. Especially because a croupiers main job at the Devils Dance Casino was to bring more money to the establishment through cheating, through their skill of sleight of hand.

For example, Billy was Ninas colleague who worked in the basement while she occupied the second floor. He was caught giving better cards to one of the men and therefore was taken away and then sent back in pieces. But, despite being a very dangerous job to have, the boss of the casino paid much better to whoever dealt for those tables. Naturally, being as desprate and determined to get back her freedom, Nina took that position.

The first few months are the most dangerous ones. The croupier isn't even cheating yet, for they have to gain the trust of the criminals at the table. The bad part is that even looking as if you're cheating will get you killed. One has to hope and pray that the cards won't look suspiciously dealt. Luckily, Nina passed those few months and only then she began to secretly give her people better cards.

That's how she paid of her debt and her freedom. Now, of course, the boss kept the fact that she has paid it all off for two years which ended in Nina shooting the man for it, but that's beside the point.

And that's how I patched up the plot hole that only I noticed to begin with.

I have to give her some bad traits so here we go :D that also makes her a coughing pair with Norton

Idk I'm very into the theme of zombies and wastelands right now.. Anyway, I tried keeping their color palettes as close as possible to the original, and it was easy with Norton since his colors are dark already, but I had to change Ninas colors so much. They were too bright for a grip setting such as a zombie apocalypse.

And I can never decide between giving them button eyes/going with the doll look, and just drawing them as humans. I like both, tho I do prefer the button eyes, I just find it harder to draw them. The individual lines and threads and all.

Same person, different aus

[00r3n00]

Yeah I'm not finishing this 😞

[00r3n00]

Oke so I'm not sure who's gonna take out Nina cause she is not getting out of the manor. I could pick Orpheus.. but he is already busy with Norton. Melly could be it, but she's also busy.

Idk maybe she just slips and hits her head and dies or something.
