Makina accidentally introduces Toki to NekoDevi.

As I stated in a previous post, NekoDevi is from a mascot character company. He’s a parody of early 2000s scene icons like Hello Kitty, Skelanimals, and Gloomy Bear. I’ve expanded NekoDevi a bit in Toki and Makina’s scrapbook when I made a bunny friend for NekoDevi. But the day Makina introduced Toki to the expanded universe of NekoDevi, it was over. I have so many lil’ headcanons floating about in my mind about Dethklok liking this fictional company and their mascots. Today, I went full force and expanded upon this Metalocalypse version of an in universe Sanrio like company. (Fictional history and full designs are down below)

“NekoDevi and Friends”, is from a Japanese mascot company called “Kurogao”. They’re popular amongst; goths, emos, and metal heads alike for their brutal yet cute designs. The cast comprises of NekoDevi, Usaku, Rizuoni, Warulf, Kappz, and InuKami. Kurogao was founded in 1979 by a former Visual Kei bassist, Yozora Yamanashi from the band EVERNOT. She used to create merch designs for her band and after EVERNOT disbanded, Yamanashi used her artistic talents to start a design company. Now “NekoDevi” is as popular and recognizable as Mickey Mouse, licensing the cast of colorful monsters on just about anything. From stationary, clothing, plush toys, and more.

Update 4/23/2024 [long post]

Hoo boy, there's a lot.

First off, I want to be forward to the people wanting to know about Silver Void (my JJBA Golden Wind Parallel fan part) and its production. Admittedly; it's got the ending, beginning, and even a clear timeline of events in the story. The problem is how to glue and sew the story neatly in order for it to feel right. Adding the details of it all. There's also the question of what medium to use to tell the story. (A comic, a fic, a hybrid multimedia project?) It makes my brain get overheated.

On top of that, I've been taking a break from Jojo's, and for the last 4-5 months now, the Metalocalypse brain rot has re-emerged full force. (As you might have noticed.) And with that, I have another story to tell, my OC Makina. I have another brainstorm document to time-line events in her story, which is still in the process. Surprisingly, because it's one OC and not a whole cast of OCs, it's so much easier to manage! And since Makina's story deals with canon character interactions, the possibilities feel endless, and I'm not shooting too far in the dark.

And something really important to note is that I'm not overwhelmed by Makina's story as much. I am a very over ambitious person when it comes to my work, which is both a blessing and a curse. I get hard on myself knowing I want to write the best fan story I can. But I'm overexerting my mind, constantly asking and critizing myself, "Would this work? Would it sound good enough? Does this power fit in universe? Is it too Mary Sue like or is it too boring?"

Right now, I have a clearer vision for Makina's story than Silver Void. However, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning Silver Void altogether. I think when the time is right and I have a clearer head for it, I will pick up production again. I love my silly lil' guys too much.

For now, please look forward to more of my Metalocalypse doodles, Makina's vignettes, and future story (also revamping her profile to be more clear and rewriting the prologue... for the 3rd time lol. >_<;;) Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It really means a lot. 💜🖤❤️

Makina at an Industry Party (Metalocalypse OC Tribute)

Makina may be brave as a performer on stage, but is a bit too shy at gatherings.

There are so many amazing OCs out there in this fandom! I couldn’t think of who I wanted to draw first then I was like “Heck it, I’ll do as many as I can!”

POV: It’s 2013, you just finished watching “The Doomstar Requiem” and made Dethklok flipnotes on your 3DS

Fun fact: I downloaded pixel brushes for Procreate to make these gifs.

Dethklok fan kids (plus Makina) Doodle Dump

Even though Makina and the Fankids live in 2 different timelines, I think Hanabi and Makina would be besties. J-Metal enthusiasts be mad chillin’!

Makina in the booth (Don’t mess with the recording console in Mordhaus)

Yes this is audio from BreakupKlok when Nathan and Skwisgaar tried to start a new faction, I headcanon that they had forgotten to delete it. Full view of the DethComputer without Makina under the cut.

Where’s your daddy? (Metalocalypse Fankids)

Here they are! It maybe an unfinished wip, but I still wanted to show them off. :> Bios under the cut.

Razor and Raven Urrutia (Age 15, she/her [Raven] he/him and They/them [Razor], 🇵🇭/🇺🇸): Twins of the infamous William Murderface, Razor and Raven were a result of In Vitro Fertilization using some of Murderface’s donated sperm. They never knew about their real father until Raven started getting into metal. Like her father, Raven is brash and obnoxious. Being the oldest twin, she’s a lot more impulsive and has gotten into a fair amount of fist fights at school. She got into metalcore and alternative music then into death metal proper soon after. Though people see her as more of a poser than a true metalhead. She doesn’t play an instrument. Razor on the other hand is much more soft spoken, he barely peeps a word if anything. The few traits he retains from his father is slight body dysmorphia (more specifically the shape of his eyes), a love of world history, and an interest in music production. Razor’s personal favorite instrument to play is guitar, they own a dark blue B.C. Rich Warlock electric guitar. Unlike his sister, their taste in music leans more towards screamo and punk music. They have yet to meet their birth father, but would one day want to meet him. (Raven’s favorite Dethklok song is “Go forth and Die” and Razor’s fave is “DEAD FACE”)

Hanabi Nakahara (Age 22, she/her, 🇯🇵): The bastard daughter of Nathan Explosion, she was the result of a night of passion with a hostess during a frienderbender trip to Japan. Throughout her schooling years; her peers had made fun of her height, low sounding voice, and her bastard half american origins. Though to the very few friends she has had, she’s seen as a very strong older sister type. Loyal to her core, Hanabi has gotten into very loud screaming matches and surprisingly has never thrown a single punch. Her mother had told her the truth of who her birth father was when she left for America for a college semester abroad. She has begun studying music theory and has a natural gift for writing lyrics. She is influenced by Dethklok (her favorite song is “The Galaxy”) but also visual kei bands. Hanabi plays synth piano and is an aspiring vocalist, she also has a small channel where she covers songs as an Utaite. Hanabi did get the chance to meet Nathan the day before she had to leave back to Japan. They have a nice relationship with each other, Nathan is very supportive and has even gone as far as to following her online channel. He still doesn’t know half the words she’s singing, he’s trying to learn more japanese.

Klemins Gudsdótter (Age 19, They/them and he/him 🇮🇸) : During their schooling years, Klemins was always seen as “the prettiest person in the history of forever”. It’s no surprise because Klemins is a Skwigelf kid, inheriting his father’s good looks. Even with strawberry blonde hair, the resemblance is very uncanny. Learning that they’re the result of their mother making some poor choices in her youth with the Dethklok guitarist, Klemins has come to resent their birth father. They learned to play guitar purely out of spite, they want to one day meet their father and kick his ass in a guitar battle. They own a crimson blood red Ibanez Iceman electric guitar. Outside of their spite, Klemins is a surprisingly sociable and outgoing individual, always up to go to parties or just hanging out. 9 times out of 10 they’re usually tricked into dates because of how handsome they look. So they have a hard time keeping and making real friends. Their favorite genres of music include Folk metal and general Folk Music. In secret they actually like Dethklok but they won’t fully admit it out loud. (Their favorite Dethklok song is “The Hammer”)

Drew some silly pen doodles. (I should have called it DethShower lol)

Just imagining the boys being invited to one of those baby showers. I know that's kind of impossible, but the possibility of it makes me laugh.
