…So apparently, Nefario is now officially considered 🔥hot🔥 according to Sexypedia. 😆 Groupies beware: Gru can be quite the fierce and diligent bodyguard!

So I recently watched the first Despicable Me again and felt pretty bad for Gru. That flashback sequence was honestly kinda painful. ;-;
I like to believe that dr. Nefario would have done something for him at some point, seeing how friendly and encouraging he was towards the little guy. It seemed like he developed an immediate soft spot for the kid, bless him.
Nefario comforting a crestfallen Gru after a tough day.
The thought of the young boy confiding in his new friend - this eccentric, gentle and deeply compassionate man - about his daily struggles and emotional insecurities is such an immensely sweet and heartwarming concept for me, I just really love all the avenues that can be explored with this.
Also, I have a feeling dr. Nefario is a great listener. 💙
B-)
(Fun fact: the initial version of this drawing featured both characters as their older selves, but I changed it halfway through because I missed young Nefario too much. 😂)
Also tried different tools for this one. I have tons of beautiful brushes that I sadly never use because I’m just lazy. xP
I thought I had very little left to share regarding this darker take of a story, but since you guys have been SPOILING me like crazy with love and support, I decided to indulge in a little flashback going all the way back to Dr. Nefario and Prof. Rott’s very first spark of hostility.
I figured that inventing anything which would directly result in devastation was where Nefario always drew the line, and that he never accepted to be swayed otherwise.
He may have slight villainous tendencies, but in his line of work, no one has more mindfulness and integrity than him. 🥇💙
Headcanon time! :D
So we all know Nefario is a genius and a wonderful teacher for Gru. But(!) what if there was something Gru liked that the doctor had absolutely no skill for? And then I realized the first two films had more or less established one such contrast already:
Cooking!
Whenever we see Gru at the stove, he always seems to be having the time of his life, and I figured that he likely became a natural through learning to prepare meals for himself from a young age (with his mother being so neglectful and all…). Nefario, on the other hand, once concocted a jelly so awful that even the Minions’ tastebuds were insulted by it.🤣
Y’all know how much I love to switch character roles! I wanted to draw a scene in which Gru would be the one trying to teach Nefario something for a change - with ambiguous success. x3 ^^
I had this idea about Nefario getting his trademark lab coat from Gru as a present, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it so I figured I might as well draw it!
Gotta say I really enjoyed working on this piece in particular. ^w^
(Insert dialogue here)

Another scene! In the full bit, a furious Nefario would barge in, but wouldn’t attack for fear of harming Gru. He would have to use his wits and somehow find a way to convince the villain to free his friend before engaging in the fight.
For this, I had thought of a bargain of sorts. A very tense and precarious one, where a game changing element would be brought to the table. I haven’t yet decided what that would be, but I might use said device again later. xP
I’ll be honest here, I’m currently looking for every possible excuse I can find to emphasize the scariness and sheer bulk of this enemy because I really think Sergio Pablos’s design would make for a perfect antagonist. 🤩
Kevin knows what’s up. xD
(If you’re wondering what’s got Nefario so flustered, he’s just been told that Gru loves him and that he’s doing a great job as a father. Something that I suspect must’ve been on his mind a lot, but which he wasn’t quite prepared to hear aloud yet. 🥰 )
I had been wanting to draw this scene for a while now, because Kevin is a champ and arguably the best brother figure in the whole franchise, but it didn’t quite seem to work with him as an actual minion. Fortunately, @randommindedfandom has graciously accepted to let us fans use their fantastic human designs as we please, so I didn’t waste any time taking the opportunity! :D
Not only does this very handsome face belong to said amazing artist, but the idea of Kevin speaking French is also theirs! And I honestly think that’s genius.
Enjoy! ^^
Words cannot express how delighted I am that this movie exists and how eager I am to watch it.
It feels like a blend of Journey and Stray. My two favorite Indie games of all time. ;_; 💗 I just know this is going to be absolutely spectacular. ✨
