Description

ready for a stupid long description? here we go.
help my imagination is running away with me and i don't know if i'm 0kay with it.

Nightmare King
NO NOT THE ONE IN PREQUEL.
he's not anywhere near that cool. c:
INSPIRED BY MIRACLE MATTER'S THEME.
INITIALLY THIS REMIX, BUT ALSO THIS ONE TOO.
PLEASE LISTEN, IT IS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE POINT OF THIS PICTURE

all three mixes played a part in his development

"A challenge, you say? you want to stand up to him?
He thinks that's cute. You want to end the beauiful chaos of his dark domain? Of course you do. How heroic, He says. Like he hasn't gotten a googleplex of people like you in the past. The bad guys are never allowed to have fun. But hey, that's cool, he's always up for a good scuffle.
Yeah, right.
All these matches are good for is a laugh.
But who knows, maybe you're different. Maybe you're competent. Maybe you'll be a challenge!
Nah.
But you seem so intent, so don't let that ambition go to waste, he says, bring it on. He'd be glad to show you why he's the king."


once content with manipulating the subconscious of unlucky mortals from a private dimension, N.K. has since retired from such mischievousness and is now ruling a world that can almost be described as a "tourist stop" for greater beings. he and his "royal family" [bar the queen] keep strict control over the world and its inhabitants, which have all either migrated there . or been taken as prisoners/servants by the queen's conquests. the claim that things don't age on his world is a fact known far and wide, one that also attracts many seeking refuge or just from curiosity[even if only temporarily]. those that came willingly are free to leave when they see fit, but while they live there they must be loyal exclusively to his dictatorship.

ok, so ……this is definitely one of the weirdest things i've drawn, but i actually ended up really liking this guy's design. [in retrospect, REALLY, REALLY LIKING IT]
WHAT THE HECK. HAPPENED WITH THOSE PATTERNS, SERIOUSLY.
[the music is what happened with those patterns. I still can’t decide whether or not I like them]
you know what else i cant decide if i like? the freaking coloration. i don't usually have so many colors on my characters, so he kind of bothers me. i spent no less than 40 minutes switching around his colors and i still don't know if i'm satisfied. i don't think i am.

good god, i can't imagine how many times that theme looped when i was drawing this monstrosity.

Oh, and I also threw this in the movie-monster-making-contest thingy for the lulz.
Actually, I wouldn't have drawn this guy for quite awhile if it wasn't for that contest.
(i dignified his sketch a few moths ago, i just left as a sort of this bland refsheet thing here, without much shading for simplicity. i changed him up a slight bit for the contest in adding some spines on his back. they weren't supposed to be permanent, but i think i'll leave 'em because i can be more expressive with them.)


yeah, that's as done as he's gonna be for a long time
i'll update this if/when i bother shading this jerk and giving him a background. darn guy already sucks up so much of my time with his dang worldbuilding
YEAH HE'S GOT HIS OWN WORLD NOW, THE SPOILED BRAT. HE'S NOW ONE OF THE (i think i've decided on 4?) MAJOR GODS BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE.
i have... never been so enthralled by one of my own characters. he got stuck in my head in much the same way some songs would. :s he's grown so much from when i first developed him as "just another creature in my sketchbook"
but i digress.
seeing as i did not feel like actively developing a world for him, his kingdom is solely music-based. the music lends itself to characters, and i build the world around them. of that i noticed General Mumble and DTRX usually are the ones giving me the most fitting and in-depth characters. as of now the world has... 12 inhabitants, all somehow related back to this guy. and like every single one of them is an ***hole, i am not even kidding.

there will be more on this later when i do concepty sketches for this world's denizens.


yup i'm having fun over here a yup yup.

That second remix is literally one of my favorite remixes in existence.
