Beneath the Brine - Arctic AU MAP - 59/59 CLOSED - Backups OPEN - 44/59 FINISHED @niko_draws

Niko_Draws 10/10/23 Edit/Update

Hi, due to it being pointed out to me via my discord it has come to my attention that my map does resemble a similar aspect/details to Cheetah Z’s map HollyFawn (link here, do check it out the talent in it and storyline and planning is amazingly put together! youtu.be/XHI9L7CqLbk?si=H5tLKLoSBA1_5u6v ).
I would just like to say that I am not intentionally copying or taking any ideas from this MAP project. My idea had been in planning prior the release of HollyFawn’s Map Call, but at the time I didn’t have a song yet for my map. Which is why when it released I discovered the song ‘Beneath the Brine’, and used it since it fitted my story very well.
I will say that the antlers for Arctic and Queen Diamond were inspired from Cheetah Z’s map but I did not mean to copy as some people are telling me I have, this was completely by accident of the inspiration of found.
So please understand that I give full credit to Cheetah Z’s idea for finding the song and the antlers, and I am not stealing or gatekeeping any ideas from them, due to it being simply inspiration and not blatant theft.
Thank you to those who pointed this out to me ^^

California Girls - meme - Commission for @stellar_salad

Niko_Draws 2023-02-15 | Channel link: youtube.com/@jaiceeclausen2344

This is a finished commission for Jaicee C! I had lots of fun drawing their OCs and messing around with the audio-

Hope you enjoy!!

And if you have an interest in commissioning me here’s the link to the video where the link to the form is located!! Enjoy :D

youtu.be/Ebke93lXzyg

#stayniko #staysafe

My Commissions are open! - Read Description + video for information

Niko_Draws 2023-02-12 | If interested, here is the google form to fill out! Make sure you understand the rules and payments for what you are looking for!
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScOCaYGHQ1BGe2KLIS8BLI1SJLw-ijzSVZDlGaNCbGYP_ZPIQ/viewform

Basic rules:
To purchase you must have Deviant Art Points and the correct amount
Holds for higher prices (+500 points) are for 48 hrs only
If you need more time for payment I’m willing to give that
You MUST HAVE discord for communication, otherwise leave another form of communication, but discord is heavily preferred
Do not harass anyone or myself regarding commissions, I am not willing to work with people who act entitled
If you are impatient or rude regarding how I work or the results you receive you will not be allowed to receive future or current commissions or works from myself
If I cannot finish the commission you will receive a FULL refund of what amount of points I received for it, this includes extras as well
If you receive a slot and communicate through discord, you will receive updates as often as I am able to produce them, be aware I cannot produce works overly quickly especially AMV styled animations

All rules regarding species and so on is in the video so please read those!

Types of Commissions I am offering: Prices are all in the video!!
Loop Gif: simple gif (usually headshot or half body but can do fullbody) that repeats smoothly in a loop
Animatic Animation: an animatic/sketched animation that will be greys/white/black colours like common animatics unless preferred with ONE colour
Short Animation or Animation Meme: an animation meme with varying length of 20 seconds to 1-2 minutes, anything longer is classed as the next one
Longer Animation: anything longer than 2 minutes, can be called an ‘OC PMV or AMV’
Pure AMV Animation: the most expensive** will be purely AMV (may vary) with a length from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, anything longer is classed as the one above and will not be purely AMV - this one will also take the longest to produce so please be aware if you purchase
Cheap Chibi Animation: a short loop gif of an OC in a Chibi form, this one is more open to all species since Chibi style is easy to draw in - so if you have humanoid, mechanical, human OCs you want done, I recommend this one for no extra costs, others have extra fees for outside species

Hopefully you find this interesting! Just make sure to read the video and description fully so there is o miscommunications!

SLOTS (5 out of 5 OPEN)

Poor George - OC Mother & Son MAP - CANCELLED

Niko_Draws 2023-01-30 | Very sorry but this MAP has been cancelled, largely due to my own time restraints as I made too many MAPs than I could keep track of, therefore, this one is being cancelled, very sorry to participants and others 🫶

Thank you for understanding

- - - -

Song: Poor George (link: youtu.be/0im7Cyb3DlA)

Welcome to another map! This one is a little different, it’s gonna be completely and fully be youtube managed! Rules are below not in a google document! (I’m running out of storage-)

Premise of this Map: use your OCs that have a Mother and Son relationship, this is specific since the map is Poor George based with a Mother and a Son, it can simply the two characters relationship or their issues with each other, etc. (as long as it’s a Mother and Son (adopted/in law/step sons are fine as well!)

Rules:
Not tracing or copying or stealing any works that are not your own!
Be supportive of other participants in this map!
Discord is not required!
There is a codeword/s that you must use!
You will have three months to finish your part! I will ask for wips after the first month if you haven’t already provided one!
There are no extensions! So please do not join if you know you cannot get it done on time
There is no colour palette either
Make sure your part is the YouTube video size! Or easily able to be edited into that size, otherwise I will ask you to change it or forcefully shrink/expand the part to fit the size
Ok codewords, put what OCs you are using and their relationship in your comment when applying!
Have fun!

Any other questions or concerns can be thrown at me in the comments!
Enjoy

Indica Animatic - Commander Frost

Niko_Draws 2022-11-12 | Song - youtu.be/Xdr6qyG2HvI
It’s a vibe-

Here we have Commander Frost of Queen SnowStorm’s Army, he has lots of guilt after his Queen went mad and forced her army to steal all the eggs of the neighbouring settlement of SandWings. To the point, when Frost saw a SandWing hatch, he felt like this was his chance to prove he was not all bad, to his mother, to his Queen whom was insane, and to the guilt-ridden parents of those eggs.
Though he could never return the dragonet, since he was IceWing, and the Commander who lead the parties to the city to steal.

Symbolism:
White birds (Frost’s guilt)
Wings over eyes (Blindness to the Queen’s insanity)
Blur over eyes (Frost’s guilt blinding his actions)
The tear on his face (the guilt beginning to surface as he holds it in)

Enjoy:

Lagoon, I was you’re little brother! - Albatross AU - PMV

Niko_Draws 2022-09-09 | Audio from unknown TikTok, it was taken down rip-

Here is more Albatross AU! Here we have Queen Lagoon picking on her brother for being different and for what he did to their sister Princess Sapphire years before. Lagoon won’t let it go and this mentally drags Albatross down further and further.

Enjoy!

Crocodile Tears - PMV - Albatross AU

Niko_Draws 2022-09-07 | This is my Albatross au! Where it explores in what I see happened during his life after the event of discovering his animus magic as a child and before the animus test where Fathom is found to be an animus, and it includes some events of the Royal SeaWing Massacre.
The green SeaWing is Shallow, a fan character of mine I’ve basically made his partner, since we don’t know who that is in the canon book series, and the reason she isn’t present in the canon book series later on is because there was an accident and she didn’t make it out alive

You’re Best (only) Friend - animatic PMV - Cynical and Exitium

Niko_Draws 2022-09-03 | I’m pretty proud of this one, it might become fully drawn one day, maybe

Lore
Cynical and Exitium had met when they were young at the training camp for new soldiers, they got along great, but it wasn’t long before they were separated again when training ended.
When the war started, the two were in the same battalion and worked together well, and were very close. But a fatal accident taking Cynical’s life would change that forever.

Three old animatics - Lore

Niko_Draws 2022-08-29 | Just three old animatics I made but never posted here, they have been available on my Insta for a few months now

Lore

Video 1 - Mariah and Prince Josephial
Mariah had always tried to raise her son well, and she did, he was respectful and kind hearted, but her hate for the royal family didn’t fester within her son as she’d hoped. Which was when he told her he would marry the Princess, she was horrified and furious with him, declaring him useless to her and leaving him alone. Even at his death, she had wished she’d raised him to hate royals more.

Video 2 - Prince Josephial and ShapeShifter
ShapeShifter revealed his true form to Prince Josephial, expecting him to be dead in a few minutes from his powers. But he managed to escape his mini realm and make a war, the Second Great Realm War.
Revealing alongside, that ShapeShifter was the murderer responsible for the Royal Family Massacre.

Video 3 - ShapeShifter
He was never fully accepted in the shapeshifter species and he never understood why.
He was often moving around and sleeping outside buildings because he had no money to be in them or even buy himself something to eat, it was horrible, and he was treated horribly too. One day he saw the royals in the Western Kingdom and he desperately wanted their lives, he first tried to marry into the family, but the Princess rejected him and married another fox who’s rank was possibly lower then his own.
After that, he decided to take a new approach…

Enjoy some crazy lore
