((WARNING: This is gonna be a long post))
Before creating my own fandom revolving around the PHG’s Fandom, originally I was apart of a writers community on Amino. One such friend I made along the way was known as “Jaid_Wing” or “Black-Suns-Rim” on which you can find their stuff all over Twitter and Tumblr! This is gonna be a long story with lots of pictures, which were used for fun (mostly sketching ideas for the Nomad Predator).
The first beginning of said fun sketches was an idea that we both thought: “What would Baby or Pup Nomad look like?”
What came out was a funny lil goober version as well as some more realistic versions, but then we saw a post about how Female Yautja’s would hold their young using their mandibles so they could do other tasks with their free hands. Naturally we were curious and this is what became of it:
I was would then be surprised one morning as a official Baby Nomad art piece was made by Jaid, honestly it’s my favorite one to come out of this idea:
Jaid_Wing became an awesome member of my community, that I wanted to have an official commission filled since I heard they make plushies. So what came to be a cool idea turned into something I could actually hold in my hands, the Nomad Plushie was then born:
Jaid_Wing even pitched the idea of redesigning Nomad to be its own character and not always rely on IllFonics Exiled Version.
Their greatest contributions by far though have to be the Emojis they did, having a total of 31 new emojis which I not only use in videos to express emotions, but also as stickers to buy!
I’d even go so far as they have helped with the symbol of The Nomad Clan which originally was like this:
(Fun Fact: The inspiration of the Nomad Clan Symbol was from a injury I suffered from a car accident and when laying in my bed recovering, I saw this injury and thought this would be a cool looking symbol.)
To eventually becoming what Jaid_Wing would call a More Yautja Symbol:
Jaid_Wings contribution to bringing the character (Nomad) to life hasn’t gone unnoticed, it’s been absolutely insane and I believe without their help The Nomad Clan wouldn’t be as popular as it would be within the art world! All Art that I use of theirs fully goes back to them either in revenue or rightful Artist placement.
One more thing I’d like to leave was a meme I made of “professional Nomad” for fun and for using in crossover videos, and they decided…”yeah meme it” and made their own:
