PINED EXPLAINING OF MY ALT DESIGNS/AUS/WRITING ETC

If you're new, hi I'm bun the oni dumpling. I am the number one garmadon enjoyer and this is my art account.

This is a post to intro to my reworks and or redesigns of ninjago characters. (And fan writing in the future eventually)

☆What is retooling/reworking?

-Its when I rewrite or adjust the character's lore and or personality, I don't change thier core concepts.

Example: I didn't change the core concept of nya being the water elemental but I reworked her to be more independent from jay.

☆What is redesigning?

-I just change how the characters look, they are still the same character just look different.

*Example: If I give kai white hair but he's still the same person

☆what if you change the core concept?

-That would be a rewrite and I don't usually do that for the usual cannon but might for au purposes.

Example: if I made dearth an actual elemental

☆When I say both rework and redesign I mean that: I adjust -the character's writing and redesign them to show how different they are

☆Redesigns for fun =/= Redesigns for plot, i will point out which is wich per drawing

☆From now I'll use these short cuts:

-Rework: RE-w

-Redesign: RE-d

-Rewriting: RE-wr

-Cannon design: CD

-My design/Bun design: BD #ninjago bun design

-An au of mine/Bun au:B-AU #ninjago bun au

☆RE-W [Rewrite]:

-S3 Rewrite, Wip

Wip-Posts: 《Art here》 《Art here》 《Art here》

☆Characters i have done so far (may update in the future):

-Nya, RE-w + RE-d 《Art here》 《Art here》

-Pixel, RE-w + RE-d 《Art here》 c...cowboy

-Jay, slight RE-w + RE-d 《Art here》

☆ AUs I have made:

- Metal nya, #ninjago metal nya 《Art here》 《Art here》 《Art here》

*Extension of the metal nya au, water dareth, #ninjago water dareth 《Art here》

- Revived morro (still in beta): 《Art here》

- Movie rewrite (still in progress) : 《Art/anouncment here》 《koko, garmadon and jay brief 》 《what about side/other characters? + dareth》

☆Redesigns for fun I did:

And if you want to draw my design tag and or @ me I would absolutely love to see them♡

Bun,out

I was serious about that nya metal au-

This is an au where nya's element is metal instead of water. I always wanted her to be a metal element since I was a little dough boy, her weapon potential is endless.

I don't know what will happen to karlof in this au, he could either be the water elemental or be a normal non-elmental guy and we get like a different elemental to replace him I'm not sure yet, this au was made at 3am after 3 lessons of college cut me some slack lol.

-Rough story:

I did think of how the reveal will go,

I thought (and got obsessed with the idea, and is why her designis s4 inspired) that nya's element will start showing around the finally of s3, by s4 when the ninja got thier invitations to chen's Island she was eves dropping and decied to follow them, she'd reveale her self later and will join the ninjas to find zane as her first appearance as the metal ninja.

For thier powers, giving her the same presentation as karlof (steel skin ish) would be out of place for the ninja's, so i gave her ferrokinesis and the ability to mold her metal into any weapon she desires with the drawback that is stressful on her body.

Design

-Nya's gi here is like the ninja's s4 gi but more personalised for her with the character of metal, i pulled her hair into a ponytail honestly just because it's cute and to distinguish her from vanilla nya.

For the future

-I will explore these ideas more soon and hopefully I'll eventually figure out about the consequences of nya being the metal element (ex. s5 and s15 relay on nya being a water elemental) and will make a post about it. But for now I think this sets the basics for this au.

Have a good rest of your day and drink warm soup

More metal nya! Post s7 edition

Here is more of metal nya au sketches, this time some ideas of how shell look like post og era nya.

I mainly wanted to draw her outfit but I did try to come up with thier updated emblem because I love these buggers. I went with a bull because I liked the idea of her using her raw strength to run at people with her weapons lol, its also kinda of a reference for nya's hot headed tendency.

I'd like to think the main weapon they make is the blade bunggers she had as samurai x because they are really unique and so nya iconic.

Her hair is more roughed up version of her pre s7 hair but with long....hair dohickys? (She dose have more here). I gave her the hair clips because I thought it would make her hair look more interesting as well as to look like bull horns.

She has a tiny pouch on her arm so she can use them to mold her weapons to attack and take off some strain of off her.

Get a nice bowl of nachos, have a good day or night

Artstyle experimenting thing ft more nya because I can

If you just see some of my work you can see that my art style is so inconsistent and keeps changing, it's part artblock fuelled by imposter syndrome and wanting to find an effective and efficient artstlye to be able to draw without overthinking.

Here is a lineless style more similar to my first post then my pinned post, I do like the way this turned out but it's not efficient as a sketch style so I'll reserve it for big boy illustrations.

I drew a causal metal nya because why not? I went with this blue as a second color because well...I just liked it, i didn't think much about details while drawing this but I do think she looks cute which was the point.

Be gentle with your self, have a good day or night

I've been thinking about about how metal nya kinda breaks season 5 and 15

Don't know metal nya? Hi I am bun and here are the posts of metal nya for you to catch up

My hash: #ninjago metal nya

First drawing: 《Art here》

Second drawing: 《Art here》

Casual: 《Art here》

To kinda illustrate what I mean, in s5 nya has the arc of knowing that she's the next water master and using the water to defeat the gousts because they're weak to water.

Metal nya breaks:

-nya's power is metal not water, we don't have a way to defeat the goust like the finally

-nya's learning arc is none existent, in this au nya gets thier power around end of s3 and beginning of s4. And because they are more comfortable with metal then water they got the hang of it much quickly.

-the entirety of season of s15 is broken beyond belief

This is not to take in consideration of karlof's fate

And I've been thinking about what I can do about this because I'm thinking of writing a fic about it but I can't solve this issue so ama take it to you guys nya's biggest fans to help me with what you want to see from this au.

FYI changeing the water themeing of s15 is not an option, I love the concept of that season and I love bentho

Have a good day or night, hydrate or die

Bun, drowned

My fellow dareth enjoyers dareth won the water elemental master poll for my metal nya au. Now unlike my other post I don't have a set in stone lore or lore ideas, doesn't help I got sick woohoo. So I'll talk about the design.

Fun fact I originally started sketching this in brown so this gi started as a brown one, it looked neat so I saved it in case I wanted to make an actual brown ninja dareth in the future (if you would like to see that lmk). While designing this I decided to use the same gi design principle of nya and metal nya's gi-s but I changed the black parts to brown to make it feel more dareth-y, yes this does kinda make him the oddball but that kinda also intentional.

I gave dareth's gi pants that cowboy thing that dareth has in his og design.

I gave him this style of glove which I normally wouldn't do because they're the mark of....a special person (wink) for now for lore reasons dareth is allowed to have them by me.

I chose this blue because its the complamtary color of his brown, but also because its not close to my nya or jay design. I gave him heels because he ~💅, I put the pattern all over his gi unlike nya's.

I feel like dareth is alright with using his power but absolutely exhales when put in a stressful situation or when definding someone  (which is cannon), he dumb, he will jump to action without thinking. I like to think his room is so aesthetic with a cowboy hat as a decoration. No reason. Just cowboy.
