Small doodle ive had in my head for a bit-

A moment where KK grabs his performance boots (engineered safety for high places) and gloves (control over the light cubes) to chill under the night sky

Zuke: Unconventional means....? Mayday: Whatever it is, we can take her down no matter how cute this so called angel! Kliff: As much as it pains me to say, her unconventional methods are stemmed from the act of blending genres together to create a rather unceremonious fusion of J-pop and . . . heavy metal Zuke & Mayday: Huh!? Mayday: WaitwaitiwaWAIT- wHAT the bulldozer do you mean heavy metal!? We got thrown out just for playing rock so how the cupcake did SHE get in!? Zuke: There must be a logical explanation for this... Kliff: According to my research she was able to piggyback off of her past popularity as a idol in the J-pop industry, NSR sought to gain benefits from her prior fame despite the unorthodox approach she's taking. Mayday & Zuke : . . . Mayday: WHATTHEFU- [ End scene ]

Briefing scene Via Cupid if she was a mini boss in game or something. I normally have the lore of her appearing post game but the idea of appearing during the game would create so much conflict due to her genre. And the hypocritical nature of NSR being shown through that is so fun to muse and work with. WOuld kliff try and fan the flames and say she's tainting the sanctity of rock with her half assed attempts of trying to be relevant again? I'm not all that good at NSR's style but I had a whack at it- pretty proud ngl

So I got into this game and did some doodles. Have this

I saw someone describe their friendship as "she's high on life, he's just high." And I've internalized it lol

I finished two masterpieces recently, i am allowed to dream 🥹🎸🥁

Tosses whatever the hell this is out there that I forgot to post way back

In which I contribute nothing of value beyond shitposts (I mean this lightheartedly)

They're stuck on babysitting duty

I just discovered your art and love it so much AAAAAAAAAAAA

The swap au is super cool and I feel for green putting up with dj so much

ahhh thank you! Very glad you like my stuff!

I feel for Green putting up with DJ so much.

Oh I imagine he would be insufferable. It's so important to me, its the entire reason why I got into this game in the first place. I saw DJ's introduction without knowing anything about the game and was instantly hooked.

He yells at someone over the phone for being too incompetent to launch a satellite, claims it's not rocket science but then quietly admits to himself that it is. Then yells at 'someone' to get him a new ice pop because the one he already had (Which looks like it had a single bite taken out of it) was a little melty, and carelessly tosses it off to the side. Presumably onto the club's floor.

I love this guy, I imagine he would be awful to work with.

bonus: the original idea I had to answer this had been to just to share a clip of part of his introduction.

overly rendered doodles on school time,,

Vinyl City’s Angel is here! Ready to strike you with her Cupid’s bow! She came onto the scene after the revolution to breathe fresh air into the music scene, no one was expecting this angel to rock the heavens! She may be new to NSR but this isn’t her first time at the rodeo! She’ll shock you with her wicked sick rifts and down right venomous tongue, blending the sweet love of j-pop with metal twists of screamo n rock!

I haven’t made actual refs for my ocs in ages, here have one of my fav nsr ocs to date. I have more art of her coming up soon waaa

I don’t know if you still take requests but… how about any of the characters who get stuck in TADC domain? (So it would be either Margo, Tila, Satoru, Suguru or Dragon) (would these even count since this isn’t a pre/post timeskip thing?)

How about all 5 major characters who go into the domain? :D

Satoru was really the only one who I struggled with to make a design for. I wanted a spaceship head, then the gyro wheel toy body, but also the magnetic stick man toys. I didn't even get to adding the oval magnets into the design (I was thinking of making them like eyes but decided against it even though I think they still would have fit the whole theme of being magnetic toys).

Suguru... I'm sure you can guess why I made him that lol.

Dagon of course, a worm on a string (with their sting being hands when necessary).

Tila is wind up music box and wind chimes. Was also gonna try and have her eyes be glass/mirror since a lot of music boxes had mirrors to them. Or have her crank on her back or just a string like those old talking dolls. But I threw those two ideas out.

And Margo is basically just a tamagotchi. I took a lot of inspiration from her concept sketches (which will probably be incorporated into her timeskip design at some point). Otherwise, Margo is just a digital living tamagotchi! :D

I bought and finished No Straight Roads a while ago and... Tall lady with an air of sophistication? Has a temper and will go feral on you? Is still actually reasonable? Sign me the fuck up

i think this will be the final look for the print! not bad for a first i think- pretty proud of it!

This character, who I absolutely adore, belongs to @breadbox-draws :)

It's been an absolute delight to see this guy in the tags. Hope you like these doodles.

B2J Live!

Revisiting my UPA style experiments from last year. It's not a true style imitation (I think a true imitation would use less lineart), but I like it regardless.

I wish I had more to say about this, but I really don't. It's as straightforward as it looks.
