trying to post normal fanart in the crabjago and beardjago infested ninjago tag❤
uh something more stylised i tried doing in celebration of 700 on instagram (and my lack of time to do a larger drawing)
The look Cole gives Kai at the end is what I wish tv Cole was like
YES YES YES
Yeah so I reworked my previous designs, I’m not 100% satisfied bc they aren’t really coherent and I think I based it a little too much on the cultures I hc them as but hey speaking of:
- Kai is inspired bc mayan and aztec culture
- Jay (who has probably the weakest design) is inspired bc norse and celtic culture
- Cole is inspired by indian culture
- Zane is a tricky one bc I hc him as japanese but I didn’t really find any patterns that would match the rest of the ninjas designs so I also took inspo from inuit patterns (EDIT: I removed the inuit inspired tattoos since I’ve been told they’re scared and shouldn’t be used or drawn by non-indigenous people)
- Lloyd is inspired by polynesian and esp samoan culture (I hc him as korean/japanese but since Zane already has a japanese ‚look‘ I went for the idea that Lloyds grandma is polynesian and that’s why his design is like that) (I also gave him top surgery scars bc although he’s a god and could probably change gender whenever he likes I think it’s a nice reminder that my version of lloyd is trans)
- Nya is inspired by chinese culture
I-I… holy fuck
me when i find jay after the tournament of sources
yes im still defending skybound
Hello it's me again it's bruiseshipping coz black+ blue also that quote from s3: "I'm gonna bruise you black and blue!" (Jay)
Hope this helped!!
I can’t recall that scene (maybe bc i watched it in another language) but I’m living for the homoerotic undertones of that line so I had to draw it
