"Try not to resist this time, lucien,"
So funny story. This was supposed to be done last month, but I was exhausted from work a lot and just working on this, too. A lot of my energy, too, as well look at his raven wings lol, but aside from that, I'm proud of how it turned out from how his wings look so gorgeous and the lighting too.
So your all probably curious about the title and who lucien is, well you've seen him befor in my other artworks that primarily featured security and u can see him in the reflections of nightmares eyes, and why nightmare is after lucien well the next 2 artworks on my to do list will reveal why.
But imma go chill out hope yous all like the artwork
"its just a bad dream....right?"
I kept my word, didn't I? Well, here he is after nearly 3 or 4 months without drawing him, and oh boy, was it fun drawing my evil bastard son again ^^.
But the interesting thing about this artwork is it's based off a really bad nightmare I had last month that involved a void faceless wolf attacking my hand and it was that bad I woke up at 2am in a panic attack(for another reason too that I'd rather not say) and couldn't sleep for nearly the rest of the night befor I to get up for work at 5am, but ofcourse the best way I can express my emotions primarily my negative ones is through nightmare so that's why it's him and not this void faceless wolf.Another interesting thing is I used vrchat to help with the background and also with the posing of him, as with the posing I used one of my many screenshots I took of my nightmare avi but for the background I went into a gothic chapel(ghost themed yay) and took a photo for the backgrounds as I struggle so much with then and both payed off well.
But imma go relax now befor the next artwork and befor my work gets busy, what my next artwork will be idk i'll just have to hope an idea sticks well enough, hope yous all like the artwork and see yous on the next one^^
Death and roses
I just love how this turned out eventhough it gave me so much trouble in the process and even making my wrist hurt but that's just the normal things that happen whenever I draw nightmare lol.
But my hells is he still attractive looking like I know he has a bear form and all but I just love drawing nightmare in his humanoid form it's too much fun, I swear I'll try to do an artwork of him in his bear form again.
So why the roses and raven feathers idk the idea just randomly happened and I went with it, most likely I got the idea from a game or a song without realising it
A shadowy meeting(blood version)
I know I said I'd post this version later, but I didn't mean another week later, I got caught up in things and forgot, but here's the mini bloody version of Shadowy meeting.
it's always so much fun drawing nightmare with blood on him. idk why, but it's just fun to do.
A shadowy meeting
This is primarily a test artwork for shading and lighting alittle bit as I try to break through the 3 week artblock I'm in and ofcourse I use the character that sent me into said artblock in the first place lol.
But judging by the name of said artwork your probably wondering who nightmare is looking at/meeting?, well that's something I'll delve more into when I get there with my au, but I'll say that they're a demon themselves that's the only hint yous are getting(and I know my friends know who I'm talking about).
Also there's a mini bloody version but I'll upload that one later^^
Shadow ravens
Uh oh looks like some goons didn't do their job right and now nightmare needs to summon his shadow ravens to continue the spieing job for him.
I'm so freaking happy that this is done cause 1 look at it its freaking awesome and 2 it took awhile to complete throughout the process, but im also happy as I stepped out of my comfort zone abit to try colour lighting.
The idea for this came about when me and @nightmareunleashed54-blog where playing the elder scrolls online and they where playing as their character modeled off my nightmare/Branwen when they summoned a raven merchant that perches on your arm, and boom like immediate the idea came to me and after talking bout it with them and on my own getting more ideas from a clip from the bloodborne trailer the idea developed more and I had to draw it.
Double terror
Welp it happened both my nightmare and my friend @nightmareunleashed54-blog nightmare are together in one artwork, and ofcourse in this artwork they're after cynder and purplemare so they both gotta figure out how to get away from them both especially when one of the nightmares can fly.
Tbh this was so freaking fun to draw as the idea was always tempting to do but it wasn't till my friends convinced me to go for it with the idea I just said screw it and here we are with the double nightmares.
Might have a funny continue sketch of cynder and purplemares reaction to them being there but I'm not sure.
you can trust me
"….awww what's the matter, do you not trust me"
lets get this over with so i can go back to screaming in a corner about how much he looks so good lol, but anyways yea another redraw artwork done and its a redraw of an artwork i did from 2 year ago.
honestly i like how this one turned out even if i did struggle with his hand to the point i just changes the canvas size to avoid drawing most of it lol, but i am enjoying drawing nightmare with long fluffy hair as 1 it makes him look more hot and 2 its just fun to draw long hair on him, but im gonna be busy with a few artworks later and work so that'll be fun trying to balance things out.
double trouble redraw
there would have been a mini story to this but nightmare destroyed my wrist so ye, but tbh the artwork tells the story well anyways, but I'm so happy at how this turned out especially the shading and this might be my most favourite artwork so far.
also if you've haven't noticed nightmare looks abit different and that's cause i changed his hair to be long and fluffy and i gotta say it suits him more than his short hair.(and my god that change has gotten me to simp for him abit more)
here's the original version from 2021 if you're wanting to compare:
my part of an art trade with @nightmaregamerztsfm-blog
this was the second art trade i was talking about in the last artwork, this is a redraw of this one from last year: www.deviantart.com/shadow---ni… as that's what nighty requested as her nightmare has changed a lot from then.
but damn is he sooo menacing but also good looking too, but i wouldn't make a deal with him ive heard it doesn't end well, unless you want too :3
but hope yous like the artwork ^^ i gotta go as I've been informed by nighty that i now have another nightmare on my tail even though I've done nothing
Purples encounter with nightmare
don't know why but i completely forgot to upload this when it was done, but i was busy with things..., but yea this was another artwork that came from the mini war between me an my friend nighty and this comic was the first idea i threw at her lol.
other than that yea this is nighty's oc purples first encounter with my nightmare and from her reaction she is very conflicted with her emotions. all she was trying to do was go hang out with cynder before he showed up out of nowhere
purple belongs to @nightmaregamerztsfm-blog
(another wee note this is the last time yous will see my humanoid nightmare with short hair as hes getting a mini redesign ^^)
(also sorry if this comic is abit weird layout wise im not use to doing comics lol)
Caught sneaking a peek.
*Drags myself bearly out of the grave of nightmareztofficial after falling in* "oww yea I drew nightmare shirtless was it worth it fuck yes it was"*tail gets grabbed* "oh no"*gets yanked back into the grave*.
In all seriousness I had so much fun drawing this like damn imma die good, by why did I draw this well me and my friend nightmareztofficial are kinda at war its a weird war to see who makes eachother break from simping, her from nightmare and me from nightmarionne, but ofcourse I get hit from the nightmare stuff too so I'm not safe from my own fire lol
But enjoy the artwork imma go scream in a corner now
Scared fox part 6
Deep into his run in the forest Jordans eyes stung with tears as the thought and images of what happened earlier kept playing in his mind, chills keep running all over his body as he still feels like he isn't in control he feels violated having his own body taken over and used to kill his own brother, Jordan was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't see the person walking in the opposite direction, he accidentally bumped into the person and stumbled to the side while the person didn't move much, Jordan:" hey I'm sorry I didn't see u" he said as he got up and started to run he got a quick look at the person, a dirty white hoodie, jet black hair poking out from the hood but Jordan did notice the dog with said person a black and gray husky with white eyes watching him, but befor Jordan could see more of them in his run they vanished out of sight behind some trees.
After 5 minutes Jordan was tired he'd been running for 20 mins away from the dinner and others who might be after him, he came across alittle grove and satdown on a log to catch his breath and gather his emotions and thoughts, Jordan enjoyed the silence in the woods but then the silence became to feel creepy like something is wrong and he feels like he's being watched, Jordan raised his head to look around but as he did he saw nightmare looking back at him, Nightmare: "oh good you've stopped running and crying" said the humanoid demon as a twisted smile crept on his face, befor Jordan could react nightmare raised his hand and smacked Jordan on the face sending the boy across the Grove, the boy landed hard on the ground and grabbed at right eye that was snagged by the demons claws during the slap, Nightmare:"you useless welp your just as useless as your father, all you had to do was do as I said then you'd have been fine" snarled the demon as he walked towards Jordan and transforming into his demon bear form.
As the demonic bear got close to Jordan he grabbed the boy by the throat and pinned him to a tree, Jordan struggled in the bears grasp wanting to be let go, nightmare:" just for your disobedience you're going to be punished for being such a scared cowardly fox, and I know where to begin" he said as he moved his claws over to Jordans injured and bloody eye peirsing it and causing Jordan to scream out in pain, more pain shot through his head as nightmare slowly pulled out the boys eye from it's socket, through the tears of his only good eye Jordan could see his other eye peirsed on the tip of nightmares claw the pain was great and he felt like passing out but his body wasn't letting him out of fear and wanting him to run.
" now where else shall I..."*shink* nightmare was cut of by a sound of metal peircing flesh the bear looked and saw a small kitchen knife sticking out of the fur his ears perked to the sound of giggling and footsteps next to him, both Jordan and nightmare looked to their left to see a boy and his dog Jordan recognised this boy and dog from earlier but now he has a better look at them now the boys dirty hoody is covered in blood the husky is now black and red with a creepy smile, ???"so nightmare how many times must we get the big man to remind you that your not allowed in his forest" the mystery boy playfully said, nightmare began to growl" I don't care Jeff and this isn't your business being here" the bear angrily growled towards the boy, "well it is my business now furball that boy is needed and well there's one of the big man's pages right there that I could grab to get him here, so either leave the boy alone or big man comes for you" Jeff said as he took off his hood looking at the pair, Jordan got abit of shock seeing the carved smile on Jeff's face but more shock snapped him back to nightmare as he felt nightmares grip on his neck tighten abit while the bear is growling more"*growls* fine take the boy for now but I'll be back for him" nightmare growled as he threw Jordan to the ground and vanished into the shadows.
Jordan just sat up back to the tree and knees to his chest and began to cry both from fear and pain, footsteps got close to him then stop Jordan looked up to see Jeff and his dog infront of him, "I'm going to go inform the others I'll leave smile with you to keep you company, if the furball returns just rip that page overthere off the tree and slender man will come deal with him" Jeff said as smile moved to sit next to Jordan, Jeff walked off back into the dark forest leaving Jordan and smile alone, not long after Jeff left the two of them Jordan was still shaking worried nightmare would come back but he was snapped out of it by feeling smile rub his fluffy head on Jordans arm eventhough he does find this dogs smile creepy he appreciates the company and the comfort the dog brings so Jordan gave smile afew good pets.
After what felt like forever Jordan heared rushing footsteps closing in on the grove he looked and seen marionette, Nightmarionne and Henry running over to him apon seeing them smile walked off into the woods, "Jordan thank God your safe" Henry shouted as he run up and hugged Jordan tight causing Jordan to burst into tears as he hugs Henry back, after Jordan calmed down there was a quiet moment befor marionette broke the silence" Jordan what is going on with you and nightmare, as the other night I saw his markings on your arm and of course the events that happened today, be honest with us" he said calmly but firmly, it took Jordan afew seconds to composes his thoughts before saying that he made a deal with nightmare but after he said that he looked at them to see Henry more worried, marionette a mix of worry and disappointment and nightmarionne mad, "and why would you even do that, look where this has landed you and the condition your brother is in" nightmarionne snapped at the boy "nightmarionne enought let him explain" marionette shouted as he held nightmarionne back " I done it as I didn't wanna die, he killed my friends and I was next, I didn't know it would lead to evan getting hurt I did my best to ignore his command but he took over my body and done it himself" Jordan cried out shocking everyone there as he held onto Henry more, " hey now your safe, evan is in stable condition thanks to security puppet and lefty, and we're here to help get that furball off your back, now let's go home heal you up and make a plan" nightmarionne said as he knelt down to talk to Jordan and held out his hand towards the boy, jordan nodded as he grabbed nightmarionnes hand to be helped up and once he was up they headed back home to check on the condition of evan and to plan to free Jordan from nightmares deal.
To be continued.
Bonus art of later that night
Mini artwork made by me, but the amazing poster was made by my friend nightmareztofficial
Scared fox part 5
Going through the doors of the diner Jordan went straight to a table in the corner his corner avoiding contact with evan and fredbear who where both over by the stage,
Fredbear: "aww come on Jordan come over and join us", the golden bear called out to the boy, Jordan:" no thanks i just wanna draw in peice" he said as he sat down and started drawing, fredbear:"alright then just know i'll be in the back on my break and springbon is in a meeting with Henry and marionette, so you and evan better behave" fredbear said as he walked backstage, Jordan rolled his eyes and continued drawing what came to his mind.
*Half an hour later*
After drawing for a while Jordan looked at the 2 drawings he's done the one he's currently working on is of roxxan his favourite glamrock, but the 2nd drawing still gives him alot of worry as its a scene from his dream travel last night where he saw a cat created running from nightmare, he now knows this creature is a lombax thats why she looked familiar Jordans worry started to build up more so he took down notes about what he plans to hopefully do he just needs to build up courage to say something to Henry or marionette, but after taking notes Jordan feels a wave of fear wash over his body as a familiar dark aura surrounds him with shadowy tendrils moving around him, jordan:" no,no,no,no not here, why are you here...." Jordan was cut off when he felt a cold hand on his shoulder and a dark chuckle right behind him freezing him in place, nightmare:" you better not be planning on rebelling boy i don't need another annoyance, and i'm here to reawaken an old friend so let's get this over with now" the demon growled as his grip on Jordan tightened, Jordan started to panic more when he realised he's losing feeling and control of his body as he can't see out his left eye and he's already moving towards evan, nightmare was in control of his body.
*Evans side*
Even felt a presence next to him he looked and saw Jordan looking at him but he knew something was off with his older brother one side looked fearful the other side looked scary, evan:"Jordan you okay do i need to get Henry?" evan question his brother hoping for this to be a sick prank when he was suddenly grabbed by the back of his shirt and was being dragged towards the stage, evan shouted at Jordan hoping to get through to him telling him he can fight whatever has control over him but the only reply he got back was growls, even moving about to try and break free was of no use evan was suddenly flung forward infront of the stage he looked up to see fredbear on his paws and knees under the same effect that Jordan is under, he can see one side of fredbear scared and the other side not him something making him feral.
*in the meeting room*
Henry:"Just thought we'd catch you up on what's going on spring, especially since your old world is now involved,"
Springbon:"the fact he's back already is just so worrying, what did afton want to cause him to do this", Henry looked towards marionette who suddenly jolted like his magic senses where going off, Henry:"what's wrong marionette" worry entered Henrys voice, marionette:" too much dark magic this is not nightmarionnes magic" he said as he bolted for the door with Henry and springbon behind him, but as marionette opened the door,
*CRUNCH*
*thud*
A deadly silent rang out with everyone in shock,
springbon:"FREDBEAR",
Henry:"EVAN", both screamed out as they ran towards the mess at the stage, Jordan now incontrol of his body again is frozen in shock he can't believe he killed his brother, he looked from evans body to marionette who was looking at him Jordan couldn't read the emotions in the demon puppets eyes this scared him and he got spooked more when marionette moved towards him, so Jordan fleed out the door and into the woods with tears in his eyes.
*to be continued*
Part 6 will be posted soon once things are ready ^^
Scared fox Part 4
(poster made by nightmareztofficial, a good friend of mine who helps me with thus au)
Jordan awoke with a jolt like he awoke from a fall, but what he saw confused him he wasn't seeing his room but a crimson sky and black branches from burnt trees, Jordan stood up and looked around at his surroundings to get a guess at where he is as he knows this is a kind of dream world.
While looking around Jordan could hear the sound of fast approaching steps, he moves abit and looks in the direction of the noise as he did it felt like things moved slow as he locked eyes with a cat like creature with long ears that looked familiar to him she was transparent like she was transported here too, as this cat creature was just about to pass him she turned and said only one word "run" then things returned to normal speed as the cat creature ran right past Jordan that he was so distracted he didn't hear a more louder sound of something running till he was knocked down by a huge black mass running close behind the cat creature, Jordan now knows why he was told to run and he took it and sprinted off into the burnt forest.
Deep into the run in the forest he heard the sound of a scream in the distance he knew it had to be the cat creature had been caught and knew he was next, while trying to not get smacked from burnt branches he was suddenly yanked back from his hood and thrown to the ground the force of the throw knocking the wind out of him,
Jordan: "what the hell"
???: "not sure why you listend to her you just wasted my time by running"
Jordan knew this voice, it was nightmares and jordan just remembered that nightmare mentioned something about a plan for later but he didn't realise it would be still be in the same night, Jordan then felt himself being grabbed from the back of his neck by nightmares big paw and lifted up to face the demonic bear.
Nightmare: "so let's me discuss this plan to you, and you better listen".
After nightmare told Jordan what to do with the plan, many emotions ran through him as the main point in it was for the death of evan, his little brother, that he was supposed to protect,
Jordan: "why, why evan why not anyone else".
jordan said holding back from yelling,
Nightmare:"because you said you'd do anything to live so a life for a life,to torment your father more and to fule my hunger for souls".
a jolted went through Jordans body he wasn't sure if it was anger or his fight or flight kicking in but he was mad,
Jordan: "I won't harm evan he's my ....."
Jordan was cut off as he felt nightmare slowly tighten his grip around Jordans neck, and Jordan was scared as he wasn't sure if nightmare was just gonna pop his head of his neck right then and there as the only thing emitting from nightmare is a low angry growl.
Nightmare: "you will do as i say you accepted the deal, you chose to work for me, do you want a worse fate than your friends cause I'll give you one, now its time to wake up".
Befor Jordan could react nightmare threw him towards a pit of thorns, just befor impact jordan awoke in his bed gasping for air and coverd in sweat, he turned his head to look at his alarm 1:30 he had enough time befor he had to go to fredbears,
Jordan: "just why didn't i just let myself die like my friends".
After saying that he realised there was a slight weight on his chest, jordan raised his arm from his eyes to see Henrys black cat tia selch in a loaf on his chest purring away
Jordan: "oh hi tia selch I guess you knew something was up"
Tia selch: "mmmraow"
Jordan: "yea i know I'm gonna be late".
tia selch got off Jordan and left the room when he started to get up, when he was getting his hoodie on the mirror Jordan noticed the bruses on his arm have faded abit but more bruising appeared on his neck,
Jordan:"I'm not gonna harm evan i'll give up an eye and an arm to keep him safe".
said Jordan as he walked out of his room, as he reached the front door he heard tia selch meow from behind jordan turned to see tia selch loafing on the back of a sleeping nightmarionne who's face planted on the couch Jordan raised his finger to his lips to shush the cat and quietly left for fredbears dinner.
Part 5 will be up later today^^
Scared fox part 1 & 2
Since part 6 is on the way, I thought I'd post the other story parts to lead up to it, so heres parts 1 and 2(part 1 is just an intro to the story)
Part 1:
So what your seeing here is Jordan fearing and begging for his life after him and his friends where ambushed by nightmare whos original intent was to kill another afton family member but while enjoying Jordans pleas for life as his jaw get closer to Jordans head, nightmare transforms into his humanoid form and let's the boy live for 1 condition either Jordan becomes a mini proxy or his life ends nightmare then extends out his clawed hand for Jordan to take the deal.
Part2:
After seeing nightmare extended his clawed hand towards Jordan for him to accept the deal Jordan hesitated about it but he sighed and shook nightmares hand, but he was jolted out of thought when Jordan felt nightmare yank him close to the tall demon,
Jordan: wait what are you doing?
Nightmare: the deal needs to be fully sealed, a little handshake isn't enough for demons.
Said nightmare as he grabbed and moved Jordans head exposing the boys neck.
Jordan: wait i chang...
Jordan was cut off from speaking and struggling when he felt a sharp peircing pain in his neck and burning on his arm but befor he could scream nightmare grabbed his face muffling any screams from the boy and emitting a low growl as a warning to him,
Withing just seconds of nightmare drinking Jordans blood, Jordan started to lose feeling in his legs and arms as one of his arms is being burned and he feels like nightmare is just gonna drain him of all his blood and Jordan quickly accepts his fate that he might die in the process, but as he was thinking that he felt the dagger fangs being removed from his neck but befor Jordan could say anything nightmare tossed him to the ground, nightmare exhaled as he finished drinking Jordans blood,
Nightmare: the deal has been sealed boy you work for me.
Jordan:*close to passing out* so what are you wanting me to do.
Nightmare: i'll explain the plan later tonight, I sence something different close by that I need to deal with now, see you later little fox.
And with that nightmare turned and walked into the darkest part of the building and teleported elsewhere, Jordan now alone took afew moments to collect himself befor getting up to leave but befor he left he turned to look at the torn apart bodys of his friends whispered sorry to them and walked home.
To be continued
Part3 will be uploaded later^^
Scared fox fnaf au story part 1-5(so far)
So I just realised I never posted proper au artworks here only on deviant art, so I'm changing that and posting them here too, so heres one of the many stories in my au that im working on and this one follows jordan(I know its Michael but I call him Jordan in this au) and the trouble he's in after having a run in with the dark demon nightmare and having made a deal with said demon to spare his life, where he immediately regrets it.
If you've noticed one looks out of place, that's because the sfm poster was made by my friend nightmaregamerztsfm5 over on da and on discord, they are helping me with this au as its a big au and I'm greatful for that.
(This au is old like early 2016 old so I'm trying to fix, add and remove things to have it make sence, so bare with me on this
Heres a link to my da to see and read the storys(as I don't wanna flood tumblr with them at the moment) :
Ambushed
I almost forgot to post this here woops, but anyways this is a part of an au im doing over on da and it does have a story to it but I wanna keep this post short so heres a link to my da for this artworks story:
Nightmares redesign
So I havent posted in like a while due to motivation burn out but I'm doing small art to get back into it without letting tiredness from work stop me but with that this was the result of coming back I gave nightmare a redesign since I didn't like his previous design as much so yea nightmare is more scary and even more fluffy
Found you
This smug edgy bastard almost made my heart explode when this idea came out of nowhere and I had to to it cause I love nightmares humanoid demon form ( i adore edgy characters so nothing new there) This idea came out of nowhere when I was listening to music and playing eso that when the idea popped up it zoned me out alot to the point in eso I almost died to a random dragon attack.
Had fun working on this as It did take abit when it came to the shading as I did struggle with that till I worked with 3 layers of shading.
Tomorrow is another day
(I forgot to post here so abit late here on the anniversary post)
I had to do artwork for fnaf4's 6th anniversary cause 1 where the hell did the time go and 2 i love this game the most out of the other ones, and when thinking of the idea for this it took awhile as I was originally gonna do an old redraw but I thought you know what I'll do cute art, also for this i had to use myself as a reference image as I couldn't draw hands holding plushies right so I had to take a photo of myself holding my fredbear plush for this.
I gave in i had to do atleast 1 artwork of humanoid nightmare eventhough i said i was giving myself a break from him cause fluff hurt my wrist but that didn't mean his humanoid form though.
So how this idea came about was from listening to 2 songs, Hunters by the living tombstone and Nightmare never ends by jt music and the results from going into an art daze.
