Honestly xD I thought that this picture never would be finished! The Himitsu no Mahou Jubile of 2011 ♥ as I already told you on the preview this year the theme of the jubile is War since the 8th Elementarywar started with chapter 43 of Diabolus et Angelus "Hear the Hell Part I" I'm looking so much forward to finally upload these chapters, but I have to be patient, haha xD

The inspiration behind this picture were the newest album by 30 Seconds to Mars "This is WAR". I really love the whole album and I always wanted to draw something related to it and finally - here it is! The scetch and the outlines are very old actually and - suprise! - I see a lot of mistakes but it was too late to correct them since the outlines were ready for so long :/ I started the colouration in the middle of november, after making around 60 Aceocards for animexx.de. I guess I trained a lot with these 60 cards (I will upload them all in one piece) and maybe I even improved if I'm now able to see mistakes I early didn't saw *laugh*

So... please bare with me! Even if there are a lot of mistakes the picture took me around 60-80 hours to finish!

Here the character list (from left to right)

Ri-Il - The Pariah
Youma - The Leader
Inceres - The Prophet
The nameless souvereign of the demonworld - The Victor
White - The Martyr
Kaira - The Soldier
Grey - The Victim
Firey - The Civillian
Blue - The Liar
Silver - The Honest

I won't explain why I chosed them. It's totally up to you how you interpret it ;3 I know that the Messiah is missing. You can guess why, haha xD it was by purpose I can tell you!
All scenes are of course original scenes. The only thing I will explain are Green and Nocturn: normally I always draw Green as the selfconfident and stong young woman she is but I guess in front of a war nobody everyone would be choked, right? Nocturn is for her incanation of the horror of the war and death and thus he "shows" the war to her (portraied in his invinting hand). In chapter 6 of Diabolus et Angelus "The impossible" Green admitted that she is terrible scared of Nocturn and therefore I chosed him as incanation of her worst nightmare - so, he is not "really" there; just Greens nightmare.

Other jubiles:

... looking forward to number 10

Don't know who Kaiji is? Which mangas did he draw? My inspirations are You Higuri and Arina Tanemura :3

*after google* Ah, okay, but honestly, I do not think so ^^° I do not like the style of that series and would never like to draw like that.

Sibi als Honest? O__O Da bin ich echt platt. Liar ist klar und es passt so damn gut >3< Auch Victim ;o; Wobei Kanori da auch toll gepasst hätte ;__; Aber blutstechnisch passt es ja XD
White ist so toll geworden T///T Aber ich glaube, mein Fav-part hier ist eindeutig Green und Nocturn.
Kaira sieht so entschlossen aus! Das passt total zu ihr. Ich liebe sie auf dem Bild - und sie gehört absolut nicht zu meinen Fav-Charas XD
Natürlich ist Firey absolute Spitze. Sie sieht so verletzt, gequält und hoffnungslos aus - ich liebe das. (Nicht nur, weil es zu meiner momentanen Stimmung passt, sondern weil es 1A zu ihr selber passt. Sie tut mir so leid.)
Was gesagt werden muss: DIE HAND VON NOCTURN IST PURE AWESOMENESS!!! Sie sieht fantastisch aus O____O Überhaupt sind dir wie gesagt deine zwei Libelingscharas am allerbesten gelungen.
Ri-Il und YOUMA!!! ♥♥♥ So toll ;o; Ich kann dazu nicht mehr sagen. Ich will Youma adoptieren! >///<
Der Typ, dessen Name unbekannt ist (XD), sieht abolut Ganondorf-mäßig fies grinsend aus. Ich bin der Beste. Ich kann alles. Ihr gehört alle mir. Ich werde die Welt regieren, nein, sie gehört bereits mir! Mwahahaaaaaa! OMG ich liebe ihn!
Inceres ist so niedlich ;__; Auch hier. Er ist dir (wie immer) super gelungen und ich liebe seinen Gesichtsausdruck. ♥
Es ist ein so tolles Gemeinschaftsbild. Wirklich ganz toll geworden und deine Arbeit hat sich sowas von gelohnt. Ich liebe einfach alles daran, hab aber natürlich meine persönlichen favos - aber es ist sehr SCHWER, da einen Liebling zu finden, denn jeder einzelne Chara ist etwas besonderes ;o;

Ich finds genial.

Das ganze Bild ist wie immer gelungen!
