What specifically does it mean for a Zephursa to “puff up”?

The exact verbiage in the Overdrive Expansion is that they can “puff up in a cloudy form”, which to me implies that they sort of turn into clouds or something like the Gaseous Form spell.

Although the next paragraph mentions “the clouds that encircle them when they puff up”, and the trait itself says “you can puff up with swirling cloud stuff”, which makes me think that they don’t actually/physically ‘puff up’ but rather just summon cloudy stuff to lift them up and float on.

How does it work? Do I turn into cloud? Get fluffier, buoyant fur? Or do I just summon clouds to stand on?

Any tips on making a magician character?

SPECIFICALLY a magician. I’m adapting an OC to a player character and since he’s a magician, I want to make him a spell-caster with an emphasis on illusions. Something like DnD’s illusion Wizard subclass. I know I could just select mostly illusion spells, but I want a (sub)class that plays into that theme.

Niko Plush Enrichment 14: Math

It’s important to keep your Niko Plush’s mind sharp, lest they miscount how long it takes to get to an important event or make poor financial decisions down the line. To make sure that your lessons stick, maybe consider catering the lesson material to their interests, or offer rewards for a job well done.

Also be sure that the math you’re having them do is on grade level for them, unless you would rather turn the lesson into a class on rude caricatures. (and no, I am not dumb)

Another Niko plush to enrich?!?

My power grows…
(I’ll probably use these plush interchangeably as the same Niko plush, just in a different position fyi)

Niko Plush Enrichment 13: Sitting

You may have noticed by now that your Niko plush likes to sit down whenever they have the opportunity. Sitting is one of a Niko plush’s favorite activities, so try to give them many different places to sit! Also I removed their scarf because of how hot it’s getting but they insisted on holding on to the Sun nevertheless.

Whew, sorry for not posting any NPEs for a while, I kinda ran out of ideas for them, until I remembered having a note on my phone with stockpiled ideas.

Tier list of how often characters get fan art of them

This is just based on what I’ve seen, but are there any changes you’d make?

What if we could talk to Calamus and Alula as well? [OC]

Not much we could do without the Sun, but it’d be nice to talk to them about life in the Glen and stuff.

A rare piece of Oneshot artwork from me that doesn’t involve Niko. These two were pretty difficult to draw, but I think that’s just cause I need more practice drawing Oneshot characters that aren’t Niko. I just don’t have lots of ideas for the other characters in the game that I could draw.

Let’s go on a trip! [OC]

I’ve been planning a trip to a certain place for some time now, but I was trepidatious about bringing my Niko Plush along to the parks. Fortunately, I have recently pulled a chalk drawing into the real world, so looks like I’ve got a travel buddy after all; I think they’re gonna like where we’re going.

So I’m already at the end of day two as of posting this. Still trying to get into a flow with how I draw Chalk Niko. The IoA and main park was fun (if Niko and I didn’t have a little trouble with the rain in the evening) and I can’t wait for the Epic Universe park tomorrow. When it’s all said and done, I’m gonna try and organize a small portion of the stuff we did into a post for later, so stay tuned!

Chalk Niko ref sheet [OC]

I’ve finally made it! An OC reference sheet for my little chalk buddy! I don’t really have any plans at the moment for what I want to do with them, but now I’ve got a little page for reference whenever somebody wants to draw them. Btw they use they/them pronouns, forgot to write that.

Niko plush enrichment 12: Hydration

An important part of caring for anything if making sure it’s getting its nutrients, and water is an important nutrient for any living being, so you should probably be giving plenty to your Niko plush.

Edit: Okay so important update, I don’t actually know how much water a Niko plush *needs*, but my Niko plush *wants* as much water as humanly possible. I don’t know how much longer I can appease them, they just keep demanding MORE. I’m glad they’re growing up healthily, but I don’t know if my town’s water supply can sate them. Be careful when offering your Niko plush water, and try to set limits on their water intake.

A Niko is still a Niko [OC]

So imma make sure this Niko is clean and healthy. Blood dripping from the eyes CAN’T be good for them… and we wouldn’t want any blood to get on their nice scarf yeah? They’re being a little fussy, but afterwards I’ll take them out for pancakes (with strawberry syrup on them, since I heard them taking about “blood pancakes” earlier.)

Just a regular ol’ chalk Niko [OC]

For our grand finale, it’s Hydr0mancy’s Chalk Niko NikOC! I’ve been debating making a NikOC for a while, and given my experience with chalk, why not create a Niko who’s a full chalk drawing? I might not have a chalkboard anymore, but I’ll always have my chalk NikOC series, and now an OC to remember it by. Thanks for all the wonderful NikOCs and Nikosonas this community has created! I may still continue drawing people’s NikOCs/Nikosonas digitally, just in my chalk aesthetic.

OMG this took SO LONG for me to post! I didn’t mean to take this long to upload, but I have finals to study for and a final I had to take a couple hours ago, so thanks for bearing with me.

Are you starstruck? It’s Chalk Agent5592’s Nebula Nikosona! Happy to welcome them back to the sub with a chalk drawing of their Nikosona. I’ve actually had this one on the back burner for over a month now, idk why I haven’t drawn them until now. Couldn’t think of a fun lil comment to add so I just surrounded her with stars. Anyway here she is!

Saw an opportunity for a redraw and took it. Niko looks good in a baseball cap, but I’m not rlly proud of the ear but didn’t know how else to make it look.

The Author is dead. Blood (and pancakes) is fuel. World Machine is full. MangoPSoda’s recent post reminded me of their work, and I’ve been a fan of V-N1K0 and Ultrashot for a while, so I’m kinda surprised that it took me THIS LONG to chalkify her. With a seemingly endless arsenal of weapons, a cool laser eye, and a benevolent savior by her side (in spirit), she’ll empty hell in no time.

Also sorry for taking so long to post, I’ve been sick all day and have mostly been lying in bed.
