Here's my #summaryofart for 2025. A staggering average of one (1) drawing per month. I wanted to do more but the horrors sure are persistent these days.

A calendar of art thumbnails. Mays, June, August and September are blank. Most other months, are about portraits of diverse characters facing right because i'm left handed.

Bonus : Doe Eye, who draws himself better than I draw him. He draws like Jean Cocteau, and probably dated the man, who knows.

A Sikh man dressed in a nice suit gingerly holds a piece of paper against his chest, looking down and saying "it really isn't much"

a blue pencil drawing with few swirly lines. It is supposed to be reminiscent of the art of Jean Cocteau.

Draw your OC then how the OC draws themselves. A game started by @radiologue.bsky.social on tumblr !

wiry man with long dark hair and visible bruises draws on a notebook that's not his. His hands are bandaged like a boxer. The pen and his fingers are visibly shaking. He looks focused and confident.

scribbly, extremely shaky drawing of a person standing with balled fist (swirls) in the air. "F you" is written on the side, and the name of the artist : merle. It

a proud looking Merle ignores the comment of an unseen person saying "you have tremors". Merle corrects : "you mean talent". The other just says "no".

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛

Happy V Day ! 💘 Time to see Björn angst over his scandalous gay thoughts involving trust, closeness and, gasp, gentle touch. #vinland_saga #vinland_fanart

Björn, wrapped in a blanket aboard a viking ship, observes Askeladd who seems to be sleeping like the rest of the crew. There's a close up of his face in the moonlight, and Björn seemingly cannot help staring. Bright red flashes of inner thoughts show him wanting to touch Askeladd's hair, be trusted enough to sleep by his side, and a bit of forehead touching. Björn snaps back to reality, looking tense and ashamed, he looks away. A silly little line at the bottom lets us read his thoughts : better to think about "killing" and "murder" than your beloved boss right?

Emulating those group pictures i see online all the time. The gang goes ghost hunting !

line up of characters against a solid color background with the phrase "the gang goes ghost hunting / and it goes as well as one would imagine". Three young people hold up a fourth friend like a prized trout. They all wear black sunglasses. From left to right : Ekou (the trout), his twin sister Ekuru, "Moomin", and Chinami.

You deserved better Maté. So much for 2025 being about hopecore.

Hi! I'm Nil ! i like drawing characters, mine and others'!

bust of a dark-skinned woman with a greenish afro and purple make-up. She is surrounded with vaporous, nebulous like clouds and constellations circle around her - Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus and Geminin are bright, vaporous outlines.

bust of a tanned Okinawan man clad in a black ripped shirt and studded leather jacket hanging off one shoulder. He has punk hairstyle flopping on one side on his square-ish face. He is surrounded by vapor, as if he is literally fuming (he is).

two panels from a Vinland Saga fancomic focusing on Askeladd and Björn's relationship. The first panel is close-up on Askeladd's clenched jaw. The second panel shows Björn's somewhat puzzled, expectant side-eye.

Dandadan opening-like close-up on a black teenager in a white puffer jacket, striking up a cool pose.

I gave it a human-ish body and fully red tones as a nod to the Jako, who's a character from the Réunion folklore with both indian and mozambican roots. It twists and bends its way around and picks up offerings with its mouth and wards evil away !

a couple sketches of the yokai moving around on its hands, showing ass in true Dandadan fashion.

close-up on the fruits. They're usually ethereal, undefined and connected to the branches by vein-looking tendrils. If the yokai looses its composure, the fruits contracts like a muscle to reveal an uncanny, cackling face with dark eyes.

picture of the Jako bending backward to retrieve an offering with his mouth. His body is painted in red, with yellow and blue accents.

[ Dandadan OC ] Moomin is some sort of medium with a specific tie to djinn. In his culture they're understood as spirits that reside in trees, so i decided to have him and his scooby gang interact with a jinmenju. It's a yokai that bears fruits with human faces, and it loves a good laugh !

small sketchy strip featuring Moomin's two friends Chinami and Ekuru. They say : "Is it a jinmenju?" and "Probably!". Moomin turns around, looking solemn, and says "I see...a Jumanji...". An arrow points at him, indicating that he is "not super fluent in japanese (yet)".

Moomin side to side with the jinmenju. Moomin is about as tall as the yokai's arms. They are both laughing : the french "mdr" and the "grass" kanji are equivalents to "lmao".

a red tree looking yokai stands on its "hands", that elongates into roots. The body is twisted around like a contorsionist would, both legs carrying leaves and hanging fruits. An upside-down face smiles. The fruits are mango-like, held by visquous strands, and less defined that the rest.

Year of art 2024 ! Not a productive year by any means, but there have been attempts at doing some new things, so there's that. #niladhevan #summaryofart

calendar of art for the year 2024. The months of June and November are blank. Other monts feature oc art and fanarts with somewhat varying styles.

Rodrigue, Diab and Nacarat are OCs I don't draw that often because their stories are mostly written, via rp or fics exchanged with my talented friend Keytamine. Rodrigue was created in 2008 😳.

black and white panel of a young man with slicked back hair, wearing an apron and holding a knife. His name is Rodrigue, created for a steampunk-ish universe. Magical empathy and terrible upbringing messed him up badly enough to make a serial killer out of him. He's slightly less dangerous in other AUs.

two magic men facing each other. One is a creole witch-demon named Diab, with cracked skin and lava blood, wearing all white. His hair his short, bright red, with buzzed part that look like devil horns. Facing him is an exterminator angel named Nacarat, with large black seabird wings, wearing a dark costume. His eyes are pink. They clearly have opposite vibes.

FAVORITE OC DESIGN : - Zola, the Maestro - Keramel, the delulu shapeshifter Honorable mention because weirdos are fun to draw: my lil Lykoi catboy Velvel

tall lean black man holding a walking cane. His legs are crossed. He wears avant-garde looking clothes, in black and neon green, with a queue de pie in the back. He sports a hi-top fade with bright green sides. His face is very angular and he wears elaborate looking sunglasses.

an older man in extravagant medieval clothing, with a very bold mix of colors and patterns. He wears poulaines and miss matched gloves. His eyes are hidden by a curtain of thin braids with jewels, glass bead and cowries.

FAVOURITE OC : It's the akkadian ojisan : Nur-Ayya !!!

Nur-Ayya, the Lamassu made flesh, always ready to extend a helping hand. A million stories could be told about his travels and angst-powered philantropy. He's a bit of a slut too.

foor doodles with the same character through different time periods and different body shapes, from nearly skeletal to plump to brickhouse to dad bod.

NEWEST OC : "Chineur" (thrifter). Also deranged. In his dystopian post-apo universe, he works as an organ trafficker. Because when cybernetic prosthetics become too "mainstream" and thus "pauper", you know the rich will revert back to literal "organic" stuff and try to make it sound cute. ⭐

young man leaning back, wearing shiny metallic clothing. He holds a scalpel. His eyes are light green with heart shaped pink pupils.

Nil @niladhevan.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Oldest OC : Marcus the vampire, forever stuck in a teenager body. Extremely deranged. He had a found family of two other equally crazy vampires, and enjoyed tormenting local pirates. I must've played him somewhere around 2003?

two bearded men with somewhat similar features face each other. They wear simple but futuristic clothes, with a nod to alchemy and astronomical symbols. An old map of the starry sky serves as a background.

my geriatric take on anime is that nowadays an over saturation of light and shiny zappy effects is what's considered good animation. But is it really ? Give me more of the ❤️matte finish❤️ of Megalo Box i'm begging.
