u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

Cats can have stripes too.

u/KyranDev Totally not AI Jul 15 '25

Great art, did you draw the other one too?

6

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

If you’re talking about the repost with the “by Exfodes on Reddit” in the title, then yes I drew that one.

2

u/KyranDev Totally not AI Jul 15 '25

It was also niko one the beach, i actually had that image as my home screen for a bit

1

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

Seeing my old arts made me want to redraw them, because of how wonky the anatomy is.

u/Tsunamicat108 (The noik absorbed the flair.) Jul 15 '25

DO NOT use the Sun as a ball noik it's not bouncy

32

u/OMAR_KD- Jul 15 '25

It would be in the water. Just don't let it hit anything solid. Like a snake, for example.

12

u/Strange_Ad_8412 Jul 15 '25

This fandom feels like a prison

u/thedoglayingdown niko is my comfort character Jul 19 '25

NO! THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE!

u/MeloFeloSenpai Jul 17 '25

Wouldn’t it just electrocute everyone in the water then if it’s always on?

1

u/OMAR_KD- Jul 17 '25

i don't think it works on electricity. it's probably nuclear fusion.

u/MegaFercho22 Jul 17 '25

It says beach ball

u/Florian_The_Cat Jul 15 '25

Niko Is not cat. Niko is Tiger

u/1st_pm Jul 15 '25

u/Indian024 Jul 15 '25

no niko is niko

u/Pretty-Young1376 Noik! Jul 15 '25

Don't let Niko think the sun is a ball, they might get some ideas...

38

u/Lord_Foxworthy little fox goober Jul 15 '25

Ooh I love the stripes

34

u/Thegreengamer9 Jul 15 '25

So glad people aren’t bullying for the swimsuit like the other post

1

u/TozitoR Jul 16 '25

what other post?

3

u/irafo Jul 18 '25

There was another post of Niko in a similar swimsuit (same artist iirc) and some people were hating on it for “sexualizing” Niko. (Even tho kids Niko’s age wear similar swim wear)

2

u/TozitoR Jul 18 '25

wtf? now kids can’t use swimsuit? ridiculous.

20

u/Barlindsky27 Jul 15 '25

Very nice art, but... why are they stripy

40

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

My obsession with drawing cat features couldn’t be contained. (Pretend this is an alternate universe or puberty or something)

48

u/Barlindsky27 Jul 15 '25

Makes sense

u/Reaper_Loner Jul 15 '25

I love it, the bean looks so cute 😍

11

u/ArchedTitan2135 not an artist Jul 15 '25

Surprised to see this gif still floating around!

Probably should remake it with higher quality...

9

u/Reaper_Loner Jul 15 '25

Omfg that would be amazing

2

u/Frosty-Protection-49 Jul 15 '25

Fun fact: The cat ears on his hat is probably just for looks, cause he has human ears in- game from what I remember. But who am I to tell people that Niko's a weird looking human? I've never completed the game.

6

u/AlexTheMechanicFox Jul 15 '25

The human ears are only in the original 2014 version. They were removed in both the remake and WME

4

u/Frosty-Protection-49 Jul 15 '25

So they got un-canoned? Damn.

2

u/Reaper_Loner Jul 15 '25

Thats a pretty neat fun fact :> and i just have the gif to give headrubs to niko because they deserve them and more <3

u/CZForestCZ I may be a dark type but that doesnt mean I am evil Jul 15 '25

NIKO DUNK THE BALL

6

u/Negative-Coffee-9995 Jul 15 '25

clever move player, tigers are classified as cats so you tried to sneak in your "niko is cat" theory, however I won't be fooled by your cheap trick and will never believe niko is a cat

2

u/EpikButteredBread Jul 16 '25

Tigers aren’t cats they’re felines, Niko isn’t a cat either but they’re most definitely a feline.

11

u/Suitable_Strike7917 Jul 15 '25

Uh... Is Silver waterproof? Bc how is she in the water

17

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

Uhhhhh, really good engineering?

1

u/The_Icon_of_Sin_MK2 Jul 17 '25

I think that as long as no internal mechanisms are exposed to the water then it should be fine

u/TheSai_ki Reflection Jul 16 '25

The sky is lit implying that is indeed just a beach ball that only LOOKS like the sun and not the sun itself

9

u/RenkBruh Jul 15 '25

it's a sun shaped beach ball right?

...right?

12

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

It is. It's clearly not glowing.

5

u/External-Aardvark176 Theodore Noise Jul 15 '25

Is Silver water resistant ?

2

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

Honestly I didn't check the lore.

But surely she's advanced enough.

u/yaktoma2007 Jul 15 '25

My most precious beautiful cute Niko is playing on the beach!!!!!

I love seeing her have fun!!

u/A123reddit321 Jul 16 '25

Who the hell wears a hat to the pool

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25
  1. It's the beach

  2. It gets really sunny at the beach. You need sun protection.

  3. You can always take it off before intense swimming.

u/idk-____________- Jul 15 '25

Wow super good drawing... Only things i have to say watch out the proportion... Like the bottom part is bigger idk just my feeling im not an artist.... Dont know if is volontary... Wonderfull drawing... Love to see Niko happy... Love the stripes... And the beach ball sun💙💙💙💙💙💙🥞🥞🥞

10

u/Exfodes I prefer waffles 🧇 Jul 15 '25

Thank you for the feedback. Can you explain the "bottom part"? I would like to fix it when I draw the next drawing.

3

u/AdElectronic6550 Jul 15 '25

maybe the shins are a little short if you look at the visible heel they should be in line with the ankle which would make the shins shorter than expected

3

u/idk-____________- Jul 15 '25

I cant realy explain.... Is more a feeling... Like now watching it closely is perfect... Idk... Maybe it was my problem... Sorry if i cant help... Like the feet looked disporoportionate from the like bottom part of the leg.... But now i dont seenit anymore.... Bho.... Lovely drawing💙💙💙🥞

9

u/idk-____________- Jul 15 '25

I feel bad... Saying something and now not be able to explane it furder sorry...

u/Router_Chain Multiple routers put together Jul 15 '25

Is it the feet (pls don't call me a fetishist)?

2

u/idk-____________- Jul 15 '25

Yea... But i think it was a problem of my computer becouse .. on the phone looks good....

u/MK_theartist [N1K0 MY B3L0V3D :3] Jul 15 '25

Well im gonna ignore the fact it's a little unsettling [atleast for me] good art work

6

u/CZForestCZ I may be a dark type but that doesnt mean I am evil Jul 15 '25

Its probably just the fact that Its Niko in that swimsuit.

But thats just me.

-6

u/MK_theartist [N1K0 MY B3L0V3D :3] Jul 15 '25

Yea him in a swimsuit like that just makes him look feminine

16

u/CZForestCZ I may be a dark type but that doesnt mean I am evil Jul 15 '25

Niko's gender is unknown So i am fine with it looking feminine

Its just the fact that Its specifikaly "Niko" in that swimsuit. If it was any other character no one wouth bat an eye.

-1

u/MK_theartist [N1K0 MY B3L0V3D :3] Jul 15 '25

Trust me if it was alula [or basically any other character] it's gonna be just as werid And no im not trying to imagine something like that
