Description

This was a monumental undertaking. I didn't realize when we started that each piece was going to end up being rather a separate work of art.

The concept came about when thinking on the 'elements' of the Nobodies in Organization XIII. Most of them are pretty obvious, but the general acceptance is that Xemnas has the power of Nothingness.
But...what the hell is it that he does to illustrate this power? How is flipping around with lightsabers and making force shields the power of nothing?

And so this comic was born.

Also, If you'd like to see the rather amusing originals of Xaldin and Xigbar, we put them up in our scraps here: [link]





I feel so ashamed. I've used background gradients and cheap glow-blurs, as per Saeru's insistance, in the post-production of these drawings. XP
Originally, they were all very nice 100% marker images. However, the cardstock they were rendered on was not a very noticable grain nor tint, so they thus ended up looking like a dirty scan. And once the backgrounds were then cleaned up, they looked too plain. So we ended up with some "enhancements" to pull it all together (albeit cheesily) since you kids seem to like the digital thing. I'm sick of dealing with this piece right now, but I'll revisit its presentation at a later date, once I know how to fix it. :/

On a positive note, I still avoid using black at all when coloring their coats. Just about every color but black at this point. How long can the trend continue?
On an even more positive note, Pooh gets torched. >;D

Oh man, I laughed so hard when I got to Xemnas!!

I like the way you use color, like how you used purpley pinky blues instead of black.

Very nicely done- the coloring is really spiffy!

"Oh bother..." I'm glad you torched Pooh, just don't get anywhere near Tigger, or I'll send Alunatta atfer you. She's my dragon anthro orginal character. She's on my picture on the Featured Deviation of my homepage, if you really want to know what she looks like.

I really like this. Besides a beautiful job on the colouring and details, I like how you input subtle humour in the two panels (Demyx getting stabbed, Pooh on fire). LOL. Very nice job...'specially like Xemmy at the bottom!

It was slightly sad that Xigbar wasn't more interesting. Originally he was supposed to be accidentally sniping himself, but it changed in the composition and since he was just STARING up at us. o.O
But thankyou for noticing! >.> Xemnas is my favorite on this too(Sae).

Pooh's "oh bother" cracks me up every time I look at it. xDDD

I like how you didn't use black for the coats. It's like, I know they're supposed to be black, so it makes for a more...interesting black. Dx
I'm bad at explaining. In short, it's a cool effect.

LOL, copyright infringement. xD
My brother and I were already calling him "Darth Xemnas" xDDD

SonicStarH In reply to ??? [2006-10-17 07:29:28 +0000 UTC]

Saw this at ~Organization , so sorry if I seem like a random deviant to ya.

Hmm, I thought Nothingness was always implied to be simply Twilight in the KH universe. Even Xemnas himself implies it is: "If light and darkness are eternal, then surely we nothings must be the same... Eternal!"

But anyway, yeah. The power of copyright infringement. lol. Well, if you notice, a lot of Japanese things seem to be paying homage to a lot of things in this world. Like Sonic 2's Death Egg being a tribute to the Death Star, or Super Sonic being a tribute to DBZ. You know...

Good pic, btw.

Oh, we -always- appreciate the comments, no matter how random they are.

I hadn't thought on it like that, but I like the idea. We got his 'element' off of wikipedia when we were looking one day, and it sort of caught us off guard. Partially became the inspiration for this work. Nobodies definitely must exist in twilight, being neither dark nor light. I guess 'Neither' can be an element. ^.^

It is true! And still much fun. ^.^

and I think thats neat that you will use every color but black to color the coats. It makes things abit more interesting

Thats exactly the impression we were hoping to make. ^.^ There are a lot of good kingdom hearts comics out there, but we find that many of them make their points without much artistic expression. Unfortunately, I wish I had known we were aiming to BE so expressive, as I would have drawn it better. ^.^;
