I’m finally satisfied with my nightwatch ink design

I hope you know I’ve gone through like 70

Anyways this is what he looks like if you force him to wear clothes. Any ink marking on his body can spout ink and he can mold it to any shape. Most the time he chooses wings. He uses his ink face markings to make wings that cover his eyes.

Inks eyes in the doodlesphere near the center of creation are always white. He doesn’t feel too much while there- just very tranquil muted emotions. Outside of creations light (inside aus or farther to the voids) inks eyes are less uniform and change shapes and colours as he has a hard time emotionally regulating outside of creation. The farther away he is the more he feels.

To avoid the embarrassment of people seeing his eyes malfunction he usually has them covered in public with his stupid little wings. (I’ll make a drawing of what it looks like soon). With his eyes covered he tries his best to keep his face up and act joyful/calm even if he’s feeling much more mixed emotions.

Underneath all those clothes he is a ball jointed doll- as I’ve shown in other depictions of him.

He also has a tooth gap- that’s where palette gets that gene. Pal also has some ball joints because of him.

I know this isn’t the best drawing I could of made but I’m really busy with school so u just gotta believe me that I’ll pump out better stuff

i love femtanyl. her music does things to my brain and my pvp game skills. girl hell 1999 i love you

also very freeing to draw and not really care whether or not the results look good, i always end up feeling better about my art when i do

psych belongs to @thaltrogotlost i love you 💙 (also some bg details in memorys for you specifically but i pixelated them to hell and back so idk if itll be noticeable)

i'll join the night watch with the sole purpose to get to top Aemond in his slutty leather straps

We’re all in this together 🎶

The project is going along smoothly- realized I haven’t actually posted in awhile so here’s the unofficial nightwatch bad sans ref sheet. If your wondering why dust is becoming a homestuck character it’s burn damage. Bones become grey and black from severe burns blah blah. Anyways they are all ok and it’s a really wholesome au 🫶😁 hahaha yes…yes…

The alternate text was going to be about how dream wants his ribs broken but I thought no one would get that one

Here’s my favourite character in nightwatch again. Sorry for the lazy rendering today.

700 years and you still haven’t moved on Dream. Maybe stop building effigies of your dead brother and start SSRIs

..I’m kidding I can’t stay mad at you do as many effigies as you want 😊💚

I actually have been reworking some of the kids designs, I’ll make dumb little sheets like this for each of them

Here’s Palette! I reworked it not because it was ugly in anyway i actually think he was cute but it didn’t fit my version of pal to well. I think this fits better because his clothes look much more similar to dreams as dream makes all of his outfits.

Some things I’ve added

-inks face birthmark is on his cheek

-Knife made of nyms remaining bark that dream made a long time again- passed down to palette. Palette calls it “meemaw knife”

-Pal made his own otter mask because he wants to be like his dad. He also just uses it for otter roleplay in the forest.

-different hat that he made himself. When you see the punk design you’ll notice that palette probably made this to just replicate punks hat.

Overall I think the shapes are more simple for me to draw and fit his characterization much better. I should draw more of them but I hope you guys like this redesign maybe..

It’s ok if not the other one is also cute.

Art club

Nightwatch ref sheet posting once again. Here’s the reference for art club (evil little children). While they definitely aren’t main characters they are important to the story as they reflect the adults around them. You have palette, son of the highly respected gaurdian Dream. Pj and Gradient children of the “temporarily” retired threat to the multiverse, Error. And Punk, adopted child of two loser doctors. These 12 yr old nerds have art skills in common and they come together to form the art club (sponsored by gaurdian of creators, Ink)

Don’t worry these are like some of the only characters who won’t be massively traumatized.

I’m excited for you guys to read them interacting because they have been fun to write so far. They are a good tool for lore building, I use them to explain how ship children exist (it’s not sex dw, no mpreg here folks sorry) and the lack of free will between creators and creations (Poor ink)

Anyways enjoy the designs, toodles

Thaltro update! Nightwatchhhh

I know most of you guys don’t care about the Nightwatch AU thing I’m making which is fair cause I barely post about it. But I just wanted to say expect me posting way way more on it. Im so excited with how it’s going, I’ll put out a trailer soon and my final writing for chapter 1 is almost done + I’m doing paneling.

It doesn’t foucus on a singular timeline but more focuses on the interactions of different aus like underverse. This story is mostly based in the omega timeline and I expand and rewrite alot of lore (biology, magic, the map of the utmv, voids, corruption, etc) Nightwatch’ s genre is psychological horror / jailbreak with a heavy focus on characters, with the psychological horror aspect I should give general warnings that it’s 16+ for gore and violence. More in-depth warnings are:

- torture (physical and psychological, specifically medical is the most common in it)

-religious psychological horror

-Suicide, self harm, addiction

If any of those makes you uncomfortable, definitely don’t read it. But yes I’m real excited to post it!! Each chapter is around 4000-5000 words, so pretty long for a monthly update. Character wise it heavily focuses on the bad sanses, dream and ink, and the doctors team. I plan on this project taking a few years to complete, but I’m willing to dedicate that time to it.

Anyways, before I post the trailer just expect me posting concept art more. Decided to post my favourite guy first so here’s the official NW dream concept art. Yay
