The tweaked front cover for my OC Mixtape. Featuring my interpretation of Selph, shrouded in shadows, dividing her face in two. One half in the light reveals her with an unreadable expression. The other half is in complete darkness, her eye defiantly glowing. I love vinyl covers that don't have the album title on the cover, and just let the art speak for itself.

The domino effect meme. The smallest domino is labelled "Going through me Nightcore phase again." The biggest domino is labelled "Finding the literal perfect song for Selph." Selph herself is stood behind the largest domino.

Inspired by Peter Birkhäuser's "The Observer". A fan version of Selph (the deleted boss from NiGHTS into Dreams)  is in the darkness. They stare and observe. Selph's form is dark with faint highlights around, showing his shape. Gold eyes with night indigo sclera colors stand out.

The Selph

I discovered my new favorite artist, Peter Birkhäuser. His painting titled "The Observer" inspired this piece of fan art of my version of Selph.

The back cover. The title at the top reads "Selph | The Tragedic Score of the Shattered Spectre" On the left is the hypothetical A-side and on the right is the hypothetical B-side. The A-side features "Turn Left" by Murray Gold, "Everybody Scream" by Florence and the Machine" and "Returnal" from Sandi. The B-side features "The Shifting Mound: Movement II (Live) by Brandon Boone, "Know Thyself!" by Naofumi Hataya and "Know Thyself! (Thirsty night club Dub)" remixed by Go Katsuura & Toshinori Miura.

NiGHTS, Reala and their older sister Selph having a laugh like always. Selph has been around a lot longer than they have, so she likes to tell them lots of stories about what the world used to be like. She's far taller and larger than both of them. Her cowl is a shade of pale/midnight blue. She's quite the thespian, thus she always wears a cape and an extravagant, colourful outfit. Both NiGHTS and Reala love her dearly. And she loves them to. She could talk to them for hours about anything. She could talk to them. She wants to talk to them. She wants to meet them so badl-

But it was all a dream.

This is life. This is all life has ever been for Selph. Discarded before life ever even began. All she can do is watch the Dream Dimension from afar. She loves NiGHTS and Reala. Their the most entertaining thing in the past thousand years. She would love to meet them one day. She would like to return one day. That day will come. Eventually.

And when it does; she'll exterminate Wizeman forever.

Selph's vague backstory, as told by Selph...

"The first Nightmaren.
The first-born child of Wizeman.
Existence was but a fleeting moment for me. Before the judgement of a God was dealt. To him, I was an abomination, an error, a mistake to be swept away.
Out of sight, out of mind. Fool. He did not yet understand his Godhood. He thought me dead. Not dead. Banished. To this void, the prison, this hopeless pit.
I should have faded away. But my desire to live burnt bright.
And my hatred for him burnt brighter. Hatred kept me alive.
From this fragile world, all I could do was watch his kingdom rise. He made more like me. He made more jesters. But these he did not kill.
Hypocrite. So I sit. And I watch. And I hate. And I wait.
Wait for the schism, the break, the crack for me to crawl back in.
Lo and behold. His children fight.
The traitor and the puppet.
They are the key.
This I can use."

At long last...I reveal unto you my design/interpretation of the enigmatic Selph character from NiGHTS into Dreams...

Like NiGHTS and Reala, Selph is also a jester of sorts. But where NiGHTS is purple and Reala is red, Selph is midnight blue. NiGHTS' cowl flow behind them, emphasising their free nature of flying through the wind. Reala's do to, but are more angular and thicker. Jackle's point upwards, illustrating how he's kind of like the other two, but not quite. Selph's protrude off her mask to form horns. She dons a white Pierrot mask with a red crystal atop her head. Her torso consists of a red scarf, along with red circus epaulettes (shoulder pads). You may have noticed that she doesn't have any legs. That's because she floats everywhere. You may have also noticed that she has four arms. Turns out Wizeman's original design was influenced by Hindu/Buddhist Gods with that same feature, so I thought I'd gift that to Selph. This isn't really her final form. This is more of a husk, an echo; a half remembered form that she's stuck with for the time being.

We can touch more on the lore later. I've got plans. I've got a whole backstory written. I may have gone far in a few places. But I'm really proud of my Selph. I mean that literally; my version of Selph. Not as in "I'm proud of myself and I'm making a pun". I'll shut up now. I hope you like her. Also yes, my interpretation of Selph uses she/her pronouns. Frankly, there aren't enough female characters in NiGHTS. Plus, this way the jester Nightmaren cover all bases. NiGHTS is fluid, Reala/Jackle are male (to me) and Selph is female.

More coming soon...

I wanted to keep her design a secret to build up mystery, but now I just want to show it off. Or is it better keeping it a secret?

"Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?"

A closer (but only slightly) look at my interpretation and design for the enigmatic Selph character. Thought I'd try something different and draw white on black, as well as trying to use negative space. I do worry that my version of Selph is bordering on being really edgy and tryhard (especially in this picture) so I might try to make them more mischievous in the future.

I also haven't settled on pronouns for my version of Selph yet. TO ME AT LEAST; Reala identifies as Male and NiGHTS is fluid/non-binary. So a part of me wants to lock in that this version of Selph is female, but I'm not 100% sure. If you read this, tell me what you think :)

"Be careful when you talk to yourselph. You never know what might be listening..."

Remember that quick sketch picture from yesterday? Of Reala and NiGHTS facing each other? PSYCHE! That was in reality a cunning ruse. It was actually part 1 of a 2-part drawing. That drawing is now glitchy and corrupted, with a mysterious someone appearing behind both NiGHTS and Reala. Who could it be? Well. The one thing you can never outrun; your Selph.

Oh yeah, a certain someone took a crack at designing the enigmatic Selph. And I think its waay more fun to tease what they look like and how they work (at least in my headcanon)






Psst. Mess around with saturation and brightness if you want ;)

[ Selph Smiling ]

For a good portion of the adventure, Selph lacked both memories and emotions leaving their face in a perpetual scowl. After being charmed once to be happy, everyone agreed that them smiling was more unnerving. Made 2023.

In my friend group, my characters are usually dragon themed in some manner, and Selph was a purposeful departure from that. For fun though, a what-if of them as a dragonborn made 2023.

Made 2023, a sketch of Selph in their original outfit. My characters in DND tend to be generally lawful good and compassionate, so my goal with Selph was to make them go against my character type and make the edgiest character possible.

Various goofy sketches of my DND character Selph. The most important things to know about them is that they're a hater and has cheated death countless times purely because of spite. Despite their attitude they occasionally have bouts of existential dread.

Made 2022, of my DND character Selph. They need two swords to express their edginess.
