I'm gonna revive this thread with the exact reason I created it.

Ages and ages back, more than likely around mid to late November I made this in response to Mrblock's MissingNo. x Nico Nico ship y'all remember not only did I fanboy about HyperCam a lot, I also complained about Mrblock's ships a lot, apologies.

so

This was something that was meant to be made and published in character as HyperCam, hence it being mostly made using the MS Paint shape and fill bucket tools to kinda be in character for a lot of HyperCam's stuff being kinda low-quality and intentionally poorly poorly-made but in an endearing way. Considering as how it's all but an 11-year-old from 2008 and all, and 10-year-olds are usually known for their artistic skills, more like making tribute videos to Sonic X characters and playing Roblox. I even purposefully oversaved it heavily to create that authentic dated jpg 'crust''. '''👌

I scrapped the idea when I realized that no matter what computer of mine I uploaded it from, my signature number string would show up and give me away, it's not like 4chan.

I've been kinda embarrassed about it ever since and have kinda been wishy washy about it, but it is kinda cute, so

Here you folks go. Keep in mind this was way back before HyperCam and Nico actually met so this was mostly made in character for HyperCam using it's logic.

Original idea would have actually been HyperCam calling Nico it's girlfeind, due to pretty much being a 10-year-old who doesn't quite get it, Nico's quote was the same though, it's actually a term of friendly endearment I found off Google that pretty much means "friends/best buds". I also decided to put a couple of embellishments in there as if Nico helped HyperCam out with it, thus the Japanese emoji and the various text-based sparkles are meant to be it's contribution. And yes, it's pretty much a picnic with both characters seeing it in different ways, HyperCam dressed up in his host outfit since it sees it as a date, while Nico put on some bows both befitting it's cute yet androgynous nature and also as a faint pun. (since the other Nico served as the reference) And yes, both their respective beverages are references to memes related to their sources or eras. (It's not like either of them can drink anyway. >_>)

Hope y'all enjoy. I really think that they do actually have a best buds pals for life relationship due to the difference between them cuturally as of course Japan and the US have differing ways of thinking, and so forth. I personally don't think Nico Nico actually HyperCam's sister, but at the very least they can be considered the website version of distant cousins, which is definitely something Nico Nico would grasp (OS-tan anyone?) but it would go over HyperCam's head since he's basically an excitable kiddo so it simplfies it into considering Nico it's sister.

I also tried to reflect the fact that it was made by both in how they were drawn. HyperCam's drawn using rather copious amounts of the shape tool with crap pngs for the watermark and poorly drawn versions of things like it's hat and tie, whereas while Nico Nico is drawn using the same tools, it's drawn a bit... well better, to put it bluntly, with more care put into the shape of it's legs and hair bows, and obviously the biggest difference is the drinks, HyperCam's is again mostly drawn using the rounded rectangle while Nico's is actually a fairly detailed drawing scaled down. (done by drawing each individual vegetable indepently then shrinking it down to fit the already made drink's size, with HyperCam trying his best to at least loosely match the Japanese text via scribbles) Nico's face was also a brainstorm idea, as I actually got the brilliant idea to recreate it's static effect (being a TV screen and all) via just making it an entirely different save altogether, then purposefully MASSIVELY oversaving it, so the pixelating done by MS Paint created a static effect for me, I then just pasted it's face from that save and fit it into the already drawn screen, adjusting the eye spacing a bit to make it look right (the save was slightly smaller), the consquent oversaving done anyway to give it HyperCam's 2009 crustiness actually worked in tandem with the crust already given to the screen, actually giving Nico's face a really nice soft look. Who knew saving something poorly could make such a soft look. .__. You can basically imagine that all of that though was actually done by the duo and it was Nico kind of giving HyperCam ideas so it wouldn't turn out looking like complete crap, many NicoNico users are artists and draw after all, they've got an entire section dedicated to it on their side wiki I think. I feel like that just increases the endearing factor really.

So uh, I hope you enjoy, I spent like idk, it's obviously been a long time, but more than likely like 1 1/2-2 1/4 hours on it more than likely so

Ironic that I should spend so much time on making something that looks bad on purpose, but if you're gonna make something poorly made, you have to get the poorly made just right.

So, here's a little endearing bonus, I feel like after the party, they'd go off and chat and swap memes, so, here's a little real life version of that, stuff each likes in the other's style. (even the descriptions and usernames check out)
