NIKKE Warchief Page 20. This took a while entirely because I went into anger frenzy from Chapter 41 Normal of NIKKE's Campaign. One of the factors for me doing this alternate timeline comic had been one of the best event stories (D Outsiders) being eighty-million-retconned to my infinite fury.
I really ought to brush up on my Vampire The Requiem so I can conjure up the right Kindred Clan/Covenant combo for my Vtuber avatar. Otherwise, I guess some iteration of "Gunbreaker" wouldn't hurt to be for the purposes of RPG kombat. I recently learned FF14 made Gunbreakers free-to-play.
NIKKE Warchief, Page 19. Sultan The Derp gets a small cameo with his favourite Nikke, Centi, as hair accessories which Jackal uses while she is presented as dressed like The Beast from Disney's Beauty & The Beast. I'm still rawdogging it through high Diamond in the Arena. My peak was Diamond 1.
NIKKE Warchief, Page 18. I tried to give a lighter outfit to Orgrim Malkav as a reference to a suggestion I perceive to have been entirely sarcastic. I wanted to do a 50-50 mashup of Conker's hoodie and Xemnas' KH2 final boss coat. I lacked confidence. Perhaps later, I can stylize it more.
NIKKE Warchief Page 17. Orgrim Malkav is not a member of The Peony Association, but has friends in The Peony Association. I decided to have Jin (one of the NPCs) be said friend; it helps Jin is a voice of reason in the scant few story beats he specifically features in.
NIKKE Warchief Page 16. My first Pilgrim pull was Scarlet Blade Shadow, but I draw her as regular Scarlet as warm-up (I also pulled regular Scarlet much later, but trying to base Orgrim's Nikke recruitment off my goofy gacha pulls is a task I've long since decided was against Good Storytelling).
NIKKE Warchief Page 15. The Pilgrim Tower introduction is one of the first things which laid on thick the fact Andersen was The Legendary Commander of past events. Here, I just have Andersen explain The Pilgrim Tower using Night In The Woods-style speech bubbles because funny.
NIKKE Warchief Page 14. Long-overdue. I am still planning Chapter 32 Normal's demise, but I've already taken a look-see to my would-be "future" and am furious at Nikke's story enough to keep making Alternate Timeline pages as the most useful conduit for channeling my disdain in a productive way.
NIKKE Warchief Page 13. I'll admit I had a bit of choice paralysis with what next page to draw, as several ideas sprang to mind. At the very least, I can complete the trifecta of "each Big Three CEO has now officially been depicted in this garbage ass comic."
NIKKE Warchief Page 12. I will give Tiny Kong-mander a proper name at a later date. Otherwise, I afforded myself approximately one of two Konosuba references in my reams of notes for NIKKE Warchief. I find it headache-inducing when Nikke's Campaign imitates Konosuba, which happens painfully often.
NIKKE Warchief Page 11. I've got clear visual for 4 of the 5 Elysion Kong-manders. I originally wanted a 2nd Danny Smoke In Furry Land reference for this Krita comic, but I instead wound up with a Monty Python nod instead. At least one of these other Cummanders will be in future pages/arcs.
NIKKE Warchief Page 10. A defect within Krita unwittingly made one of my comic pages more interesting than I originally intended. @paddyrickery.bsky.social reminded me The Grim Reaper was in Chapter 8 of NIKKE's Campaign. I'm currently on Chapter 31's beginning, otherwise.
NIKKE Warchief Page 9. One of my dastardly schemes for this comic involved referencing a Quirky Mini-Boss Squad of Cummanders of similar affability to The Warchief, who are all Elysion Cummanders themed after the DK Crew of Donkey Kong 64. They previously started out as Crash Bandicoot analogues.
NIKKE Warchief Page 8. I based this upcoming arc off of a Donkey Kong 64 boss fight (King K. Rool), while otherwise engaging in storytelling of similar calibre to the kind of content I see provided by Sultan The Derp. Credit for the Danny Smoke In Furry Land reference: @calisalley.bsky.social
NIKKE Warchief Page 6. I wanted to get this over with for about a couple months now, give or take. Neon's introduction was really easy; I had hoped by Chapter 21 there was more depth to her than I initially expected, but I've been sorely mistaken.
You said you needed help? Have my PNG. I am a menhera PNGtuber who picked up stuff on Twitch about a decade ago. I jumped on the NIKKE and Balatro bandwagons back in January, but I was supposed to be a casual streamer who sometimes speedruns Crash Bash and Spyro 1 (though both are very much dead).

I hope these refs provide the entertainment you seek.
NIKKE Warchief Page 5. PvP > PvE across the board. However, my plans to optimize PvP for the goofy gacha game a decent chunk of my Vtuber colleagues got into are dashed by Anis: Sparkling Summer not being available at present. So, I'll have to make a PvP squad while waiting to pull Summer Anis.
NIKKE Warchief Page 4. The first SSR Nikke I ever pulled was Frima. She and her squadmates from Cafe Sweety moonlight as coffee baristas while otherwise being "fixers" of sorts, and they're also the strongest Nikkes under the banner of Tetra Line, one of the three annoying monopolies in The Ark.
At one point or another, I drew from a deck of Zombie Tarot Cards during my watch of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3. From there, I determined the name for a Stand of my own, which started out as "Queen of Hazards" (Queen of Pentacles). Over time, I translated her name to Jade Regent.
I have no expectations of winning, but I'll join this anyway.
I am fine with just about anything. By all accounts, my Goddess of Victory NIKKE OC, The Warchief, is also a facsimile of my usual Vtuber shenanigans since its goal is me reconciling NIKKE's worldbuilding while commiting art vandalism in the name of telling a story worthy of its world.
