I have a DeviantArt journal about this but I want to have as much input as I can.

It's simple, I'm gathering as many fan-created nightmaren as I can for a enormous group picture I want to start working on in the beginning of 2008! Thus, I need people to send me Refs of their nightmaren and permission to add them to this group picture. I already have almost 100 nightmaren but I want as many as I can.

"You're insane!"

Perhaps but I'd like to do this. Why? Because it'll help me improve my art and it'll show others just how big a world NiGHTS has created. (And I like drawing fanmaren)

ALSO Chlorine, aka Petit-Chou.deviantart.com, is also needing fanmaren for a picture he calls "Maren Festival." You should also Note him with a REF and DESCRIPTION of your fanmaren as well. Goto his page and contact him for more information.

What to do:

* Send refs of your nightmaren (Pref in color) to me via DeviantArt, or someplace like photobucket, or your own webspace in a PM or a DeviantArt Note.
* No limit to amount of Fanmaren you can send me but please be creative in your designs.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 12th 2008
YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR FANMAREN REFS SENT TO ME BY THIS DATE or you're likely not to be a part of this group picture.


I'll post progress pictures when I start working on this in 2008.

Please don't be shy! I don't turn people away... and if you have questions just ask.

Chlorine is also doing a project like this. His DA is Petit-Chou.deviantart.com, so if you'd like to be a part of his pic as well, let him know through a note on DA or a PM here on the forums. He can't add you if you don't tell him first! You may want to check out his art first, its in our fanart gallery and of course there's his DA account.

Sounds interesting, Mary.
Humaren shaped people only, right? Or can we send stuff like 'Valentine' your way? He may not be a maren as such but still created around the NiGHTS universe. Failing that, i could just send you a really old fan-humaren i had many years ago which i no longer use anymore because everyone told me it was "bad to have a humaren as a fan-character" back then since Reala and NiGHTS are the one of a kinds XD;; my my, how this fanbase has changed over the years.

Anyways, so which would you prefer? Valentine, even though he don't look like the rest, or MAGiC, the fan-humaren? Or both? weh hey! :)

I'm a little hesitant to send in my three fanmaren (well, technically speaking, they're pians that look like first-class nightmaren... *bows in apology to the fanbase for tearing apart NiGHTS's reality* ), since all of them are the girlfriend of either NiGHTS, Reala, or Jackle. ^^; I'm afraid they'd get into cat-fights (especially Marian and DB (since DB's the only fanmaren I know of that's paired with one of them)... XDDDD *imagines that Jackle would very much enjoy watching that* ).

BOTH! I've accepted non-fanmaren but NiGHTS universe based creations and similar things for this project. BRING IT OOOON!!!

It's alright, as long as you don't mind them not hanging off their spouses, I'm fine with that. I'm hoping to not have the original Nightmaren from NiD or JODs in this picture... but please send them on over... and you shouldn't feel so bad about them, even I used to have a Wife of Reala maren at some point... I think we all been there.

I'd actually rather NOT see them hanging off their spouses in this particular project (but grouped together; they're sisters, after all) because I figured that the originals wouldn't be involved (and even if they were, this would potentially mean they each have about ten females trying to hang off them, so even then I'd rather not see it at all). ^-^ *glomplehugs and hopes to god she makes any sense at all*

Looks like I'm going to have to dust off the pad and pencil again. I don't have any fanmaren but there is this one character I made for a piece of fan fiction I'm working on. He's actually a night terror instead of a nightmare so I hope it's okay.

I'm thinking paper and pen... only because inking digitally really bores me and ticks me off ... if I'm going to get this done I'm better off staying with paper and markers!

However I did think of a flash idea, but I dropped it since it still requires digital inking. I might upload the scanned image into flash so the characters can be clickable with information on who they belong to and so forth... instead of a long list. It'll be confusing if it's a list... so Flash might be good for that but not for the drawing/coloring.

Basically, he's the same as he's always been only now his ears actually look like ears rather than having two huge ..things..stick out from behind his head. XD
The refs are all the same but his ears look like how Madmatica drew them in that last picture. Hope that helps. Thanks again for putting him in this :D

As for MAGiC...er... well, i'll need to draw him up again. I ain't drawn him in years.

Hmm. *thinks* Hey Mary. I wanna request something...but only if you're cool about it, of course. See, I was gonna draw up a ref of this MAGiC maren but i want the position to be filled by someone who is a little more important to me. Could i request that Astrima be drawn next to Val, instead? If it's ok with you.
Reason i'm changing my mind about which character goes in with Val is because i started thinking how this picture represents the fanbase and what has been created from it and even though Atty belongs to Trippy and was 'technically' around prior to her becoming a NiGHTS fan, to me it's someone who i feel changed my own life along with NiGHTS. I've been thinking how big this fanbase is. This project of yours will show everyone the kind of soul that this fanbase has. I would like Astrima to go in next to Val instead of MAGiC...if it is ok with you.

I already sent ya Somni's ref on dA, but I'm working on a new one. The one I have up is over a year old. @@ And if we're gunna have 'maren hanging off the main characters, Somni is gunna be /somewhere/ near Reala. XD

My crazy little 'maren sees Reala as a mentor, but also as a brother.

D: iNSOMNiAC is NOT a Gary Stu, before you people start. I've made mistakes with my characters in the past, but not anymore. I'm working on his profile now. XD

I just realized that I needed to sign my name at the bottom of the picture in case someone (NOT from this site) decides to snatch it up. that might take extra time since the store might be closed, but I really want my fanmaren in the picture. Also, I don't have a DeviantArt account, so that will mess things up as well... <_<

You can draw it and then photo it, ask someone to draw it for you, give me a detailed description and I'll try and do my best, or get to a scanner before Feb 12th.
