Here I am again over a year later with my new art of Despicable Me bird AU (Rise Of Gru in particular, of course). Nefario still looks like a literal cockatiel to me, though I decided to change the species for small Gru, for something that still fits him but is actually smaller than cockatiel in real life. My choice here was the Blue Gray Gnutcatcher. Tiny frowning bird.
And the new brushes! Oh yeah I found absolutely brilliant colored pencil brushes for Procreate and I am having fun with them.
When I first watched Despicable Me, I was young, my child brain just assumed that Dr. Nefario was Gru's dad and I went about a good chunk of time believing that. I was shocked years later when my friends informed me that that was not the case. Despite that, I still believe Nefario became a sort of father figure to Gru— he even referred to Gru & the gorls as his "family" in the second movie. Rise of Gru only strengthened this take of mine.
He still drives me crazy, even after all this time. I rarely post my sketches of young doctor Nefario these days, but I honestly still am fixated as hell. The main person to “blame” for this is definitely @annchanorsomethin, she writes an absolutely amazing fic called “DM4 fan concept”, it involves time travelling stuff and I highly recommend to check it out.
The outfit he’s wearing on this sketch was designed by me while constantly consulting with Ann and it had like 3 or 4 major redesigns in the course of 8 months before we came to this variant. If there is still anyone interested in him, I can make a whole post about this outfit because this is just a part of it. Guys you should know how much I miss our little simp club… I wish one day we all came together again. And by now… we’re just holding on and hoping for the best.
I actually have much more stuff to say but I don’t want to make this post too long soooo thanks for checking it out!
literally if you draw duck in that flapper dress and make him skinny in it im throwing rocks thru ur window let him live being both fat and femme i swear to GOD
