Almost forgot to make my card for this year's artfight damn. Still have exams til mid-July but I'll try!!

I'm still busy and will only try to do some attacks/revenges. That being said, please do not attack me only for the expectation/hope of getting something in return. I know from last year people tried to somewhat guilt me into revenging them and it takes all motivation for me to do it.

Have kinda lost motivation to draw due to so many responsibilities lately, but Im slowly trying to get back into it. Dragon Lloyd has been on my list for a while so here he is ♡

I know people are waiting, but unfortunately I am not making this comic for an audience. I'm a full-time student and dont even have time to draw stuff for myself. Balancing uni, friends, relationship, hobbies and other responsibilities along with drawing is very tough recently and I don't have motivation to push through.

They actually are, you picked it up well!

I wanted the wide shape of the antenna but as a feather instead so I mixed the two! They actually are feathers and not horns so they're pretty soft, flowy and somewhat droopy!

Here's a pic of a lunar moth, so TW insect (?)

-hates the cold will cocoon her self in her wings until it’s warm

-If she can’t sleep and Zane Lloyd or Nya are asleep she’ll go find Jay (I headcanons he has anxiety and panic attacks and helping in the engine calms him) (he lets her help or will just rant and Nemi listens)

-Lloyd can not scare her like she just knows

-once her and Kai have a better relationship he helps her with math and when she falls asleep reading making sure her page is marked before he closes it (I headcanon that he’s really good at math for some reason idk)

-even though she doesn’t like the cold she loves hugs from Zane

Thanks sm for your headcanons!!

She's indeed prone to get cold quicker. Its also canon she uses her wings for expressing emotions and bodily reactions including hugging herself to stay warm or comfortable with them.

Loovee the one that she cannot be scared by Lloyd, it will irritate him so much XD

Also the beginning of the creation of Nemari, The process of assembling the story. Going through several stages before becoming what she is today :›

Thank you for your question!

The beginning of my art "journey" already started in kindergarten, because drawing has always been my go-to activity, mo matter where I was or what time.

I doodled everything, but really started to consciously draw was in middle school, where I had my 'My Little Pony' phase. From there I transitioned over to furry drawings, where I got my first commission. During that time I pretty much drew every day.

It was in high school where I watched my first anime and started drawing more human characters. Thats also where I had a co-written story with my back-then best friend and it was about Nemari and her own Ninjago OC.

The AGAE comic is this exact co-written story, but more detailed. It's a tribute to the time I had back then, because everything was great at that time. Now, everything changed in my life- I moved, I have different friends, I'm older, etc. But this story still means a lot to me, thats why AGAE is very important to me and I dont do it for the audience, but for myself.

For Nemari herself, I already had an idea of a Ninjago OC back in middle school. She didnt have a name, or a design, she was just a concept of a girl with wings that can transform into a dragon, since it was my biggest interest (and still is today). She real design came in my early high school year, where I first drew her for this co-written story. It was then she got a name and everything else too.

These are the earliest pictures of her I can find:

Ask you can see, she didnt change too much after that, just some slight hairstyle adjustments.

Happy Birthday Nemari!!!

My girl has been with me for the longest time and today she’s getting a little extra appreciation 🩷✨

Loves to read and Zane takes her to the bookstores often

likes to fly in the mornings around sunrise. Sometimes Lloyd will join her if he’s up

knocks stuff over with her wings and always feels bad

Thank you so much for your headcanons!! That really makes me soo happy 🥹❤️

I can definitely see Zane accompanying Nemi to the book store and/or library! When times are calmer and they have some free time on the hand, she totally does go to the library to study new spells or find science & history books.

The flights during sunrise are canon! She does a morning and night scout as a routine. And yes Lloyd does accompany her if he's not doing something else.

I didn't wanted to ask before cuz I'm afraid it could be spoiler, but since the comic is nearing itself towards the end of the first season, will Nemi meet the Ultra Dragon? Will they also have a older brother relationship with Nemi and teach her how to be a proper dragon? 😽

Thanks for the comic, I wish you a great day!

Helloo~

Yes she will meet Ultra! Just like the others, she'll meet him/them (?) During the battle against the Great Devourer. But it isn't until some time later that they actually interact.

Does she change into that size of a dragon regardless of her age? Or does she can a different size when she’s younger like in the comic (as of present lol)?

Hi! Thanks for your question!

Her dragon size also changes with her age. So if kid Nemi were to transform now, she world be significantly smaller than her older version. Not even 2m big, so rather small.

Been playing around with Nemi’s dragon color design and finally found one I am really happy with. The extra neck floof is a nice addition, I was doubting it at first.

So here’s her new reference sheets including a night version and two sketches after the cut.

Do you like the day or night version more? 👀

Taking matters into his own hands, Kai convinces Jay and Cole to find a new home for Nemari. Surprisingly, their destination reveals more about the young girl than they expected, and Kai is left to reconsider his decisions.
