#zineri

Alright, Im going to be slowly posting my Zine pieces, but I figured I would start out with one that was a little hard to see in the pdf.

I will Post the other art when tumblr no longer hates my guts ;-;

Zine art part 2!

‘Dragon rider’

This one is silly because nukeri has wings and can fly, therefore making floor pig the true dragon rider here. I’m hoping its clear that the dragon is buck the axolotl from nuke’s hardcore world :P

This piece also took the longest to draw, clocking in at just under 12 hours total on just the replay! I blame my need to texture all the grass by hand. More of my traditional artstyle bled into a lot of the art for the zine, but it really showed in this one specifically. I put so many tiny details in all of these lol. Am I the only one who will see them all, maybe. And that’s okay 😌

Another day another posted zineri piece!

This one hits really close to home so uh buckle up I guess cause I wanna talk about my brain thoughts for this one!

So a lot of my personal adoration for the content nuke makes is it is constantly evolving, that he’s constantly growing as a person and it shows in his content. It also really hit me during the group zineri watch through of dominion.

The line itself hits really close to home for me in particular as well because “despite everything it is still you” is such a powerful line even outside of the fact it was the line that STARTED my artist journey and lead me here, lead me to nukeri realistically.

I made this piece not only to express what I love about nukes content but as a piece reflecting me. It’s still me. I’m still that 11 year old kid finding undertale and the joys in it. Despite everything it will always still be ME.

Chat I might just like drawing nukeri!

My dominion piece from the zineri :>

Behold my second favorite piece I did for the zine:

‘Nukeri the elven mage’

Is this a frieren reference? Absolutely it is. I LOVE frieren, and conveniently so does nukeri. I settled on recreating the moon scene after asking nuke what race and occupation he would be in the world of frieren, his response of course being an elf mage. Big same tbh.

I tried really hard to recreate the energy of that scene, which was a lot of “I’m about to voltrok you out of existence” and I think I succeeded! His eyes are piercing and full of justified malice! Yippeeeee!

(Which also means this art was making eye contact with me like the whole time I was drawing it. Mildly unsettling I must say)

I think this was one I ended up doing more research for as well, to come up with an outfit that would both represent nukeri, and fit into the clothing style of frieren(a style I am not familiar with drawing). Overall I’m definitely happy with the design, and I fit quite a few references in as well! (Peep the earrings)
