Ninjask concept art and my manic ravings
🕑 Added 2025-05-06 11:02:43 +0000 UTCIt's 7 am and I must post.
Someone on discord proposed the idea of a Shedinja lewdmon, and while I wasn't sure at the start an idea came to my mind, and I really liked it, so I had to add Shedinja to be able to add it at some point!
it's a little long so I put it at the end if you're interested on reading it.
Before going into todays design, a small update on how I want to handle patreon for now on.
To keep a better communication with everyone, I'll aim to post at least twice a week, with whatever update I might have to show, and if there's nothing, at least you will know that.
Next, social media, I have a twitter and a bluesky account, and I want to use them, they can be useful in case something happen with patreon or the discord sever, and if they get big enough they may even work as a way to have people discover my work, but there problem is, I have no idea what to post in them.
NOW, finally going with Ninjask design, there's a lot to talk about.
First. Why Ninjask when the mon proposed on discord was Shedinja?
Simple, if I where to add shedinja, that would imply adding nincada and ninjask as well, otherwise it would feel like the mon is incomplete, doesn't it?
So, since between the three of them I felt like ninjask was the one with the more clearly defined character, I thought that starting from it and then designing the other two complement it makes the most sense.
Second. About the design itself.
Since ninjask is quite literally a bug with a helmet, if I wanted the lewdmon version to look like anything else than a literal bug with a helmet rockin a pair of tits, I had to take big creative liberties with the design.
When I looked around how other people lewdified ninjask to have as reference I didn't really liked what I found, most of what I found was just regular people wearing ninjask inspired armor/clothes, and in the few cases where people tried to keep the design close to the original they always drew ninjask as the thickest thing alive, and while I can appreciate their art, I'm of the strong opinion that the fastest non legendary mon (3rd including them), the literal ninja bug should be on the leaner side.
So I just googled around some sexy kunoichi stuff to find some ideas and tried my best.
For the body I tried keeping it lean, but since I kept it mostly human like, something like a huge head, or really short legs ended up looking silly af, so the proportions in general ended up as really human.
Then about body details... ninjask body is really just a very simplified bug, so there were nothing to take from there, and adding random "armor like" details just made the design look like, well, an armor instead of her body, so I abandoned that idea, and in the end I gave her the fishnet pattern used a lot of times to represent chainmail armor (see naruto) to reinforce the idea that she's a ninja and also a bug girl (not sure if I succeeded in that last one)...
Other ideas I had was using the thorax shield as the origin of her wings, and expanding the ninja idea making the scythe like hand the original has and making them resemble more of a gauntlet and giving them a hidden blade or something
I experimented around with some armor and helmet ideas, and the big bug eyes as well, but at the end they all ended up with one of two problems, they looked god but they would be no way to make her express any kind of emotion, or they looked completely out of place, like plastered on top of something else.
So I ended up with a human like face and giving her a scarf that also worked as a mask.
I made her hair imitate the shape of the helmet, and gave her a couple of horns to resemble the helmet spikes, and I also added two bug like teeth thingies under the mask.
(to finish a recollection of everything, is a big image so idk if patreon will render it properly)
In general I like what I have, but I'm a little worried it ended up looking too much like just a human with a ninjask inspired costume.
So I would love to hear any feedback about it.
Also, the one scene involving shedinja I had in mind:
In a desperate moment, with your back against the wall and a powerful enemy in front of you, a frail looking ghost girl, with one of those paper talismans covering her face takes a step forward and face this unstoppable foe.
"3" you hear coming out of nowhere.
This enemy goes with everything, a barrage of attacks, but all of them face through the ghost girl.
"2", the enemy change the strategy, now single devastating attacks, but nothing works.
"1", becoming desperate the enemy , a final massive attack, but the ghost girl doesn't even flinch.
"0" the talisman comes off the ghost girl, revealing a cute looking face, but then, starting from her nose, the face began to crumble, in its place the only thing left is an endless black void.
The enemy observes the black void, with their eyes fixed on the void, while the talisman and the pieces of the ghost face flies around the battlefield, carried by a supernatural wind.
The enemy falls on their knees with lifeless eyes.
The floating pieces of the ghost returns to her face, rebuilding it like nothing ever happened, and finally the talisman put itself in place.

Ngl the Ninjask/Shedinja thing makes me think about, like, kind of exploring the fact that two pokemon come from the same evolution with twin/pair stuff, FFM situations and contrasting designs make a degree of sense with that. Two characters for the price of one, both remember being the same Nincada and diverge after evolution, could make for an interesting design space.

I like the design, as long as she ends up kind of small, as Nijask isn't very large at all. I think she'd benefit from a bit more color around the legs and hips, maybe some more gold or silver.
