emperor of nothing

trying to figure out a way to draw her that doesn't end up with her looking absolutely horrendous

mountainous textures

outfit meme but i stole all the outfits from vintage paper dolls ^_^

here is the finished piece, a redraw of one of my favorite scenes in the manga.

Actually I might continue making Nausicaa character sketches like this one in the future

Caterpillar Suits by Walter Oltmann

We were able to triangulate exact regions on commoner attire using Dorok refugee pictures from the manga. The commoner attire has female variants because those are the only Dorok clothing that are inherently gendered, a female warrior monk for example would not look any different from a male one, the only thing that would change is body type, so it’s not worth me drawing separate mannequins if the clothing doesn’t change.

This piece is based on a fic scenario in my head and 1 song which I came to assosiate w it. I can probably write an explanation post if anyone asks for it. Enjoy the angst for now

@kushanahime firstly, this is one of the 2 songs this piece is inspired by (sorry I couldn't upload the second one). Secondly, I'm thinking of writing a story which elvolves around Nausicaa struggling to cope with her memories and post-war life. She has PTSD like symptoms and suffers from visions and nightmares. Nausicaä also misses everyone she used to know during the course of the story in the manga, but is estranged from all of those people, except for Chikuku and maybe Charuka. The fear to lose the rest of people that she knows and who are important to her torments her that's where the image comes from

Lil pouty Nausicaä lighting study, because I love her & I need to figure out how to render stuff in a simplified way

I noticed a severe deficiency in Dorok air monitor fan art so I decided to try my hand at one if these illustrious sky behemoths. I was primarily inspired by Charuka’s air monitor (love the tower), but took bits and pieces from practically every appearance by them in the Nausicaä manga.
