Chibi Goldenheart and Nimona in Oscars 2024 outfits.

3/16/2024. No pencil underdrawings. Platinum Preppy fountain pen, using Noodler's Ink. Colored with Copic markers and ShinHan Art Touch markers. Clean up with white-out and digitally in Krita.

I was rushing to draw, 6 minutes before midnight, so I could still say I restarted my daily drawings on the 16th. So I had no plans, and just started drawing without thinking. The Magical March drawing challenge is still going on this month, so I originally was going to draw Ballister as a "magical boy"/"maho shonen". I ended up basing it on the outfit that Ballister's actor Riz Ahmed wore to the 2024 Oscars. But then I got lazy and ended up not adding all the embellishments to make it a "magical boy" outfit. Apparently, I wasn't lazy enough to not draw 2 other characters though. lol I got the buttons and coat front wrong on Ambrosius, and I was drawing directly in pen, so I couldn't fix it. But Ambrosius's outfit is based on what his actor Eugene Lee Yang wore to the 2024 Oscars. Nimona's outfit is based on what ND Stevenson wore to the 2024 Oscars.

Remember when the fandom had a big discussion about Ballister holding his sword by the blade? And we all wondered how he could touch the lighted part of it, if it presumedly was some kind of cauterizing-laser part of the sword?

Well, if holding a European broadsword by the blade is as common a fighting technique, as this video explains, then it's possible that the Knights were all given gloves that could cancel or were impervious to the "laser" part of their swords. It would be reasonable to issue every Knight, specially protective gloves as part of their standard equipment. That way, the Institute wouldn't have to limit the types of sword-fighting styles that they could be taught.

Though I still like everyone else's idea of the swords having an on/off switch for the cauterizing-laser panel. That still makes sense to have an extra safety, even with specially protective gloves. Especially when a sword is not in use.

Goldenheart Week 2024, day 1: Firsts.

Goldenheart Week 2024 prompts at https://www.tumblr.com/goldenheart-week/749067591128072192/goldenheart-week-2024-prompts Day 1 (6/27/2024) prompts: "Firsts", "Memory", and "Common Ballister AU".

I chose "Firsts". In this case, the first time Ambrosius came to visit Ballister, after Nimona blew up the Director, the wall, and herself.

For a while, I headcanoned that despite Ballister accepting Ambrosius's comforts at the moment he realized Nimona would not be coming back, Ballister still didn't fully accept Ambrosius back as his boyfriend. It would take some time, before Ballister would want to give Ambrosius, the second chance and forgiveness, that Ballister wished for himself with Nimona.

6/28/2024. Pencil underdrawings. Inked with Stabilo Point 88 pens, Copic Multiliner 0.35, Zig Clean Color Real Brush 054, and Copic Gasenfude. Colored with Copic markers and a ShinHan Art Touch marker. Text bubbles and background made in Krita. Ambrosius's dialogue used Candara font. Ballister's dialogue used Bahnschrift SemiLight font. I don't usually, hand-draw my bubble tails, since I can't digitally draw well with a stylus, but I wanted them frayed and unsteady to convey their fragile mental states.

Referenced S.H.Figuarts Body-kun for Ballister and S.H.Figuarts Body-kun Rihito Takarai version for Ambrosius. I should have used more references, especially while so out of practice with drawing, but I rushed through this drawing.
