Its Mighty Nein Day!! I cant believe the animated series is finally here. I haven’t drawn CR fanart in over 3 years, or been in the fandom since, but here is some ancient MazieCrazyCloud M9 art from archives to celebrate the occasion. ✨🤘
(Should I draw some new M9 fanart in my current style?) 🤔
something I’m really enjoying about the show is that caleb is clearly concerned about nott’s drinking. him furrowing his brow when she chugged down a bottle in the first episode and the lingering shot of him watching her drink the bottle he gave her in episode 3 betrays his unease. it feels significant because her drinking was rarely commented on in the campaign until jester stole her flask, prompting a small mini-arc about her drinking that didn’t have much of a firm conclusion outside of her explaining to caleb why she drinks so much–because even though the group has her back, no one has her front. and we never saw her have shaky hands and the shivers as she went through withdrawal during the campaign, which is further serving to emphasize how destructive this is to her on a personal level. and i think the thing i like the most is that caleb enables it. on one hand, it’s as he said, “[he] is in no place to judge” and doesn’t feel like he has the right to intervene with her vices. on the other, they are con artists and vagabonds who rely on each other, and if she were sober, she wouldn’t be an effective partner. i think there’s a fascinating push and pull there with his potentially growing concern for her welfare and the necessity of her skill set. they don’t have time for her to get sober, and he doesn’t have any right to ask her to stop drinking in the first place. so he watches her guzzle down bottles and use up what little coin they have on more, and makes sure he always has a spare on hand, just in case she needs it. and i wonder if he feels a little sick about that
remember that if you live an average lifespan then 4 years is less than 5% of your lifetime. it may feel like a long time now, but it’s still very far from forever.
setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can’t wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for
it feels so good loading the gun when you’re Chekhov
Coyote finds old dog toy, acts like a puppy A photographer spotted a coyote as it trotted into her yard and explored a toy left in the snow. What she managed to capture on camera is the beauty of play.
HAPPY M9 DAY!!! Have a Caleb to celebrate!! This piece is part one of two in a tribute series for two of my favorite wizards! I’ve been slowly working on them for 2 years!
