i said i would redraw it, and i’m actually pretty happy with this one. i wanna explain a few design choices/hcs
jay has a medicine pouch bc I think he’d be a field medic. zane does all the medical stuff when they’re on the bounty or at the monastery, but since jay is the fastest I think he’d serve that role during battle. he also would wear exclusively converse lol. he has lightning scars, most prominently on his face. he’s partially blind in that eye
lloyd has rosacea. it’s pretty common in fair skinned people, and i don’t see it represented often in art
nya likes to dye her hair. she dyes it blue not only because of water, but also because it’s jay’s color. he is the one that helped her dye it
kai has fingerless gloves bc his fire keeps burning the cloth off, until he finally removed them. he also regularly sets his hair on fire without realizing
nya and kai are the same exact height. the only reason he started making hair spikes is so that he would look taller than her. he ended up keeping them bc he liked how they looked
cole can’t work if his forearms are restricted. that’s it lol. he also has steel-toed boots. he has scars on his arms from various hikes and rock climbing accidents
zane uses ice skates. he mostly uses hockey style ones in battle for speed, but he sometimes figure skates for fun. he always has a comm with pixal in his ear
also just a fun note, the height diff between jay and zane is close to me and my younger brothers height diff irl (im shorter)
this is the original that this is a redraw of
UGH I love pixel art, you go artist <3
I made some pixel arts based on some screenshots from the series.
My favorite is the one where Raph is in space because I LOVE the space aesthetic :3
If you want you can use them as a wallpaper for your computer.
It's not 100% true to the originals, but that's because I didn't want it to be. Here are the original images:
Have a good day :>
yall think kai has a fork shaped scar on his hand after jay stabbed him with one in season 8 because i think that would be funny
my constant state..
Current mood
DON'T HURT MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT
Ummm…. Merry Christmas?
This is just a random lil comic I wanted to try doing one fully colored n shaded stuff
its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%
oh my god is this guy bugs
This guy is so bugs
Being a Jay fan is so much fun when u don't have a loser screaming In your ear about how """""horrible""""" he is
LET ME LOVE MY BOI IN PEACE OK
As a writer, I spend 90% of my time googling synonyms or searching for words I know but have incidentally forgotten right in the moment that I need it for once.
Imagine if Jay ended up terrified of water after he nearly drowned?
The beginning of Crystallized would been so much different if Jay was scared of water lol
Jay and Nya's interactions would definitely be so different afterwards cuz everytime he sees Nya using her powers hes just reminded of the time he almost drowned-
And it would make him so angry cuz he doesn't want to be afraid! He loves Nya, every single aspect of her!
So why, can't he handle being around her without flinching or shaking? Without imagining the cold, wet water as if attempted to sap his life away? Without remembering those long agonizing hours he lay there struggling to breath as pain coursed through his body. His lungs hurting and burning so badly he thought they would explode
Of all the things the ninjas have been through and come out of fine, him drowing is what's causing this mental collapse?! This-this irrational fear?!
There's no reason not be afraid of Nya! She would never hurt him and he knows this! She wasn't even the cause of him drowning so why...?
He wants nothing more than to hold her, to hug her, to tell her he's sorry everytime he sees flashes of hurt go across her face when he flinches from her attempted touches.
But he can't
And that hurts more than his near death could ever.
I reread "Earbuds" by ReddShoes recently and got reminded of my urge to draw a scene from it so >:DDD
Since the fic is from all the way back in 2018/2019 I'd assume they're not into Ninjago as much/are not active on here anymore but in case they are @whiparoundandcry hi hello I loved the fic 🫶🏻
