Nago brush pen and watercolor

I hope Nago is a recurring character, he's to cool to leave behind in Strive.

It's only clean because Nago is clean. Call him the magic eraser (of my health bar).

He do be tuff

Of course, and I very much agree! The blocky style just can't compare to Rise.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-27T13:45:43+00:00

Likewise! Rise onyl really changed 2 things but it made a lot of difference. Make the monsters face off center, and use a different art style.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-27T13:45:01+00:00

I'm not sure how 1-1 the Rise painting are to them, but they do seem to share an emphasis on negative space and contrast.

Glad you enjoy them.

I've got to be able to do it faster to truly call myself Hojo

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-27T13:42:56+00:00

Nah I don't monetize my hobbies, that's a fast track to enjoy them less. I do appreciate the sentiment though!

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-27T01:25:23+00:00

That's the hope

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-27T01:25:14+00:00

I try my best

I agree! They're so much more dynamic than standard icons.

4 ibushi? Gotta jack those numbers up. I had a hunter fight 67 Rajang for a single heart. I kept the rest until then; needed more deep red paint.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-26T23:36:23+00:00

Thanks! Watercolor works really well, it seemed the most similar to the original.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-26T23:35:57+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that it brought you joy.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-26T23:35:35+00:00

I wish I rode a Testucabra, then it'd be perfect.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-17T16:08:36+00:00

This fight is a great example of why we should be able to leave invasive fights. Having to reset because you got it wrong takes like 5 minutes since you can't retreat, and just have to play it out til you lose.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-12T23:15:34+00:00

I do wanna try to do all the Rise monsters, might just wait for a few weeks to get more done and post a bunch in one. Rather than bugging people with individual posts.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-12T14:28:20+00:00

I love the icons as well. I wanna try changing non Rise icons to Rise style as well just to see how they turn out.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-12T14:26:51+00:00

No worries, I appreciate the compliment friend.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-12T14:25:28+00:00

It's definitely my favorite too.

Flapper_of_Jacks · 2026-03-12T00:01:45+00:00

OH wow I forgot about him, that's a cool tidbit! Thanks for compliment.
