Given I just aid I'm not gonna be on plurk for the foreseeable future, plz add me other places if u want lmao

I think most people who would want to have but I'll just put the info out there anyway

personal instagram

art instagram

I'm not really updating them at some fever pitch or whatever, but hey if u wanna check in

facebook which is also not being updated a lot rn but is another way to check in on me

And lmao just changing my discord back to nainai so that it's easier to spell

Discord: nainai#8088

I am drawing and working on things. just at a very strange and sporadic pace since

Gestures to other plurk

BUT--!!!

there's also a lot of wip stuff too

Otherwise you'll probably just find me around watching people do roleplay GTAV rp on twitch because bruh I just developed a hilariously massive crush on a dude's fucking VOICE. Also the character he mains on is basically one of my weaknesses

Chaotic good/evil asshole who dumped all his stat points into charisma. Awful I hate him. Give me 20 more

daaaamn your skills leveled up!

-honestly it's probably because he's british. That is the best way to seduce naima if u got nothing else going for you. Just have some sort of fuckin british/scottish/irish accent-

I FORGOT HOW TO DO STRIKE OUTS JFC

froakie: thank

Randy Bullet Gets Pulled over by Cops & its Hilariou... I cannot find a good video to encapsulate why this fucker is so appealing but just know

I think I'm noticing a lot more depth in the light and shadow? You've always been skilled, but I don't remember such dramatic light contrasts/highlights before. It's all so lovely!

He constantly flirts, intentionally or not, with everyone. and then gets into crazy car chases where he clutches the majority of the time. and also is an insanely good shot and has gotten into ridiculous hold out situations where he and his crew have taken down like 13 cops before they finally get taken down

(ftr I have been thinking about you a lot lately and wondering how you've been doing, so will hit you up on Discord sometime in the near-ish future but you're always welcome to hmu!)

froakie: haha i think i just chose a bunch of pieces which have a lot of crazy lighting on accident

this is a more mellow one

there's still something different

your art is gorgeous as ever and you know you can ping me on discord anytime.

my brain is saying 'confidence' like the bold contrasts and line shapes are just very assured?? idek but I'm digging it 😂

LOL I appreciate it

I still feel like I'm a chicken with its head cut off when it comes to my art but you know

I try

fake it til you make it!

but yeah overall definitely leveled up It's always a treat seeing your art!

not in the headspace for your other plurk rn but will catch up when I'm feeling better

no worries. thats why i put the warning

AND THIS TOOK A LONG ASS TIME TO SCREEN sHOT FOR STUPID REASONS BUT JESUS I WAS GONNA BE LIKE WOW THIS IS ALMOST DONE

Oh and i feel obligated to post this picture of the best boy

and the enamel pin i got made of my art

it's so pretty wah

thank

ooh man that's amazing!

The Art of Naima Sawyer-Dymski by ff3399 IF U WANT ONE

oh and froakie you may like this

The nike picture is a redraw of an old WIP i had on my computer that I always wanted to finish but never got around to

It's like 2015-2017. Just not sure of the specific date

proally laaate 2016 tbh. I just remember showing it to a friend whom I started speaking a lot to around the release of Captain America: Civil war

oooooh wow

oh and one more

Re did my most popular elsa piece from back in the day

Lmao this one was a pain in a half, it mirrored how obnoxious the first one was to paint

I kept trying to emulate the lighting of the first one exactly and I just remember that it just wasn't packing the punch I wanted it to

So I just went hard into the paint and said ffffUCK IT

resfeber there is a shinji or like.... 3 in here

o:

i run in

where's shinji give me him

here

and here twice. u just gotta squint

I shall take pity upon u and offer more

sir ur wet

yeah the environmentals are super nice in that

DAMN NAI

YOUR BACKGROUNDS

look at how much I am avoiding drawing A SINGLE HAND

OH WAIT I GOTTA GO FULL SCREEN FOR THIS PAGE FOR ONE REASON

plurk telling me i gotta wait 10 minutes i'm screaming

WHAT DO U GOTTA WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR

know that i'm also screaming out compliments about art in the corner I'M NOT FLOODING ANYTHING THESE ARE VALID COMPLIMENTS

ANTI FLOOD RULES I GUESS

LMAO YOUR THIRST IS TOO POWERFUL

/muffles screams in the distance about art

heres a close up of this one

the sky and colors is based on this one MV by mondo grosso that is basically just Nike and Shinji vibes

MONDO GROSSO / TIME turn on CC and you can read the lyrics

omg my friend loved the shit out of mondo grosso i never thought i would see it again

omg my dad introduced me to them when I was like

idk

10 or 12??? somewhere around there

I've wandered away from them but I just keep going back because I just love the vibe of all their songs

omg you weren't lying that's big shinji nike vibes

THE LYRICS

THE LYRICSSS

i just immediately see the people4 dancing

NIKE AND SHINJI

THE SPACE BETWEEN THEM

THEY CHOSE THESE DANCERS TO ATTACK ME

they saw ur comic and were like 'we're gonna end this whole career'

NIETHER OF THEM ARE SINGERS OR MEMBERS OF THE BAND

THEY LITERALLY JUST

WERE LIKE

Let us just attack naima so personally that she can't ignore it

Woke up and chose VIOLENCE

and the japanese on the image says one of the final lines of the song

this is a huge bop tho

"reborn again and always starting new"

RIGHT?

Bird is a great vocalist. Idk how but she sings her japanese like she's speaking portuguese

Mondo Grosso - Life feat Bird she also sang this song

The fact that more people don't know about this group is a fucking crime

OH SHIT WAIT I GOT ANOTHER SHINJI PIC I AM WORKING ON THAT U WILL LIKE

is it shirtless

half

the background's super good hello

i can't get over ur backgrounds

with the lights

AAA THE LITTLE MOON

I am working on the text because I was like

"Shit wait, kanji doesn't look art nouveau enough SHIT FUCK ME SHIT"

and so now I gotta fukkin do the typography because I hate myself apparently

the kanji I chose for his given name, 慎士, translates to "cautious warrior" essentially

Lmao it's so fucking perfect I HATEIT

what are the wingy thingies are they actually wings

yuh. essentially nailing down the look of shinji's powers

and just wanted it to look cool

thank u for the meal

I mean idk if y'all were looking closely but man

isn't it interesting that the weather is the same in both of these drawings

and wow all that black ink looking stuff dragging nike down

wowowowowowowow

wowowowowowowowow

Anyway. here's wonderwall yoshie as a child

awwwww

baby

I'm figuring out her prelude chapter

resfeber: wait

there is one more

... two more

sketch book shit. tattoo figuring out shit. didn't need to have his ass hanging out but i mean

why the fuck not draw a butt

booty

and finally

OH did you change his hair?

i thought it looked a little different

I'M SCREAMING I HOPE YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT I'M DUMB

DSAHIODS DIDNT SEE WHAT???

I RESPONDED TO THE WRONG PLURK

LOL I DIDNT SEE IT

okay omg

AND YEAH his hair is now long and wavy because I am a whore for when japanese dudes have longer hair and pull it back

it was the other one made at this time and i was like 'lmao i just thought it had been aw hile'

i throw myself off plurk

lmao nah it's chill no worries boo

his old hair style was just v v 90's/early 2000's aesthetic and I think my art style "outgrew it" if that makes sense

yoshie's and nike's were still gucci since one is pretty "classic" and the other is just a bunch of fucking squiggles that I hope make sense

is nike's hair the squiggles one

yup

nike and her spaghetti hair

Ramen hair more like

Oh!! Just for reference

In the comic with shinji with the japanese speech bubbles

what's being said is "I can't believe this? Are you crazy?" and in the red is "Maybe I am."

ok but also when are u gonna have the comic ready for my thirsty eyes i'm ready to lose myself in shoujo romance

LMAODSAHOIdsahiodhsa SCREAMS

The shinji in my head just screamed THERE IS NO SHOUJO ROMANCE while the nike screamed ONLY HOT STEAMY WET FUCKING.

the dichotomy

I had my second vaxx shot and got over it and I think today was the final day of my period so I am gonna try to work on yoshie's prelude and other comic stuff tomorrow

HOT STEAMY WET FUCKING

Once my cycle starts my stimulants because nearly useless

omg bless my second vaxx shot just hurt my arm 4ever and i slept all day

i can't imagine having it during Hell Week

It was RIGHT before and I knew it would be too

My entire body ached for an entire day andI had a few days of freedom before my body was like 'fuck you bitch'

I'll bug you on discord with wips

okok
