ArtFight tentative (with Alfoxbot)

Alfoxbot

After yesterday’s computer breakdown, we can finally publish the weekly drawing!

Nimatek’s Instagram account was contacted by someone called Alfoxbot, who suggested that we take part in the “ArtFight” community, which consists of making drawings, responding to those drawings with other drawings, and so on. A drawing was thus made for Alfoxbot, representing his character, a sort of purple “furry” character, unsure of himself, but with classy clothes! Initially, the plan was to equip him with a revolver, but at Alfoxbot’s insistence, the revolver was swapped for a Nintendo zapper!

Basile par Alfoxbot

And so, as is the rule at ArtFight, Alfoxbot in turn drew a character featured in Nimatek. Unsurprisingly, it’s a character from the Nuibie universe, but surprisingly, he’s chosen a character who is currently quite secondary: Basile Citrus. No doubt this was the easiest character to hijack, because that’s exactly what he did: he completely hijacked the character, which is quite funny, I must say! In the end, it’s the Basile Citrus of a parallel universe that’s been drawn here!

In addition to a drawing, Alfoxbot also sent us some feedback on Nuibie College, hopefully the first in a long series! Judge for yourself:

Hi Técé, I really like your webcomic, but I have one small criticism to make: the social and political commentary you bring to your comic is pretty weak and very clearly shows your lack of knowledge on certain subjects (example: the pointless jab at inclusive writing), as someone “from the city”, believe me, teachers have other more important things to teach! I wish you all the best. 🙂

Big bug!

Bad news: our home server, on which all the drawings are stored, is no longer turning on. This compromises the publication of the weekly drawing on the Nimatek website, and, if we don’t manage to solve the problem tomorrow, it will also compromise the publication on Instagram! We’re doing everything we can to solve the problem as quickly as possible, because we like regularity!

The return of Zouèbetévé (by Técé)

The return of Zouèbetévé

Following on from the drawing of the Marianne qui rit, I’m continuing to provide Nimatek with non-Nuibie content to diversify a little! 🙂

Context

In December 2020, I imagined and drew an android as the personification of a short but intense period of my life, from 2008 to 2010, during which I participated in various WebTVs, the most famous of which were VFM1 and Canal 12. These WebTVs objectively sucked, but considering how young I and my “colleagues” were at the time, it actually wasn’t that bad! Looking back, I have no qualms about saying that we were streamers before our time. We were simply too far ahead of our time, and we suffered what virtually all those who are ahead of their time suffer: misunderstanding, ignorance, and therefore oblivion. But that’s all right. 😉

The new drawing!

Four years after giving birth to the android WebTV, I decided to bring him out of the closet again, giving him a name (Zouèbetévé), and a slightly more cartoony look than before, but keeping the essentials: the head is in fact the VFM1 logo, the scarf has one of the colors of the Canal 12 logo, a “television bust” in the other color of the Canal 12 logo, legs in the colors of the VFM website, and the whole thing looks a bit messed up and patched up all over the place (one antenna is twisted, one leg has been sewn back on, etc.), as if to remind us that our WebTVs were a bit of a mess after all. ^^
