Description Birthday art for ~Draslushee , a fellow appreciator of Null, glasses, the color blue, , and girls that can kick butt.

I drew her with blue hair this time just because it felt right. I had to ink it traditionally, and go with pure cel shading to get this done on time, but I'm pleased with it anyway.

And, for lack of anything else for a description, I'll include a rundown of Null's two signature abilities:

1. Full Commitment-
An internal hypnotic technique where Null can persuasively suggest a person to do anything she tells them to do; easily overriding any physical or moral inhibitions. The stronger the receiver's physical attraction is to her, the more difficult it is to get that person to think independently again. She activates this spell by putting her tongue in their mouth, and it then easily goes up to the brain. Null could technically do this just as easily without the french kiss, but she finds that extra up-close-and-personal touch makes everything all the more effective. And, every time one of her boy toys completes the command, she can reward them to plunge them deeper into the trance. The "victims" of her spell don't even know there's anything wrong, because they feel too good about the physical gratification they receive. Essentially, the Full Commitment makes a man become a slave to his own lust.

2. Heartbreaker-
For cases where the Full Commitment won't work, she also has a signature finishing move for disposing of anything that involves a fight. By focusing a large portion of Malice (demon energy) into her fingertips, she can thrust her hand straight through the target's ribcage without even making a fist. And, her sword, Guilty Pleasure can draw the enemy in for the kill. Though Null draws no particular enjoyment from killing, she is a fickle person, and gets bored easily if she isn't constantly being entertained, so she uses this to dispose of toys that aren't any fun to play with anymore.

Well, it sounds like the best two ways to combat her are using ninjas (who may as well have no mouths), and quickly taking off her glasses and stepping out of arm's reach. I hope her prescription is heavy.

Well, you may be onto something with those ninjas, but the second option is no good- the glasses are 100% fake, probably a pair of reading glasses at best.

She'll wear (and not wear) a variety of items depending on who the "target" is. If the glasses break she still has other assets.

It'd have to be a "ninja" from Naruto. If you've ever seen any fanart of the manga, you know what I'm getting at.

More like the queen of succubi. Seduction is her greatest weapon, every other skill merely supplements it.

I meant the kind of Naruto X Sasuke trash that's all the rage on the internets. A gay ninja just might stand a chance against Null. She'd need a lot of duct tape to try and come off as a boy.

What if she covered herself in chocolate, supplemented with strategically placed strawberries, ice cream, and cookies?

In her story, her most formidable opponents are straight girls that can defend themselves, and a man that is firmly committed to his future wife.

Then she'd have gone far enough...but knowing L he'd have some trap set up in going in.

How does she do against the coldhearted? My character -Observer- really only cares about people's sins. He'd probably plan to kill her the moment he saw hers and his softest emotion is basically pity.

Blanke In reply to Dante8411 [2009-01-12 00:44:41 +0000 UTC]

Whoever said emotions or love had to play a part? All she needs is a physical reaction. Arousal can happen without any sort of attachment.

Null has ways of defending herself, but your case would actually work pretty well if she didn't know about his nature. In the time she'd take pulling her set-ups for seduction she'd already enter a world of hurt.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dante8411 In reply to Blanke [2009-01-12 00:50:42 +0000 UTC]

And Observer has none. Emotions work with arousal, so if he cared about her, it'd be just as big of a weakness, but he has the eyes of the God of Judgement, so he'll walk past a rapist in the street and a few seconds later the rapist will fall in half.
I have my anti-Null pick...

Blanke In reply to Dante8411 [2009-01-12 01:15:23 +0000 UTC]

Indeed.

Sounds like the best way to beat Observer is to simply outfight and outwit him. I won't get into who'd win in an all-out brawl, trading blows until one falls, but the best counter I'd have for him would be Ares Shiro. He can freely reconfigure the matter of any inanimate object he can channel his "aura" into. Even if the opponent can protect his own equipment from turning against him, it can't stop what Ares can do to whatever is his own. It gives him an arsenal only limited by his ingenuity.

Ares' biggest weakness? He's a tough guy and he's not too slow mentally either, but you could say he relies too much on reason. Suppose he were faced with an opponent that defies all parameters and calculations.

Dante8411 In reply to Blanke [2009-01-12 01:19:10 +0000 UTC]

The best way is to immediately close in on him and make every disarming attempt you can. His power is in his sword, which it's hard to swing from up close. Since Observer's using the power of the greatest magic swordsman to ever live on his world, I don't think his weapon could turn on him, but a flurry or attacks could probably keep him from focusing enough to use his good moves.
His best attack -the Omega Slash- is basically a razor-sharp hurricane, but it takes everything he has to remain conscious afterwards.

Blanke In reply to Dante8411 [2009-01-12 01:31:10 +0000 UTC]

Ares could also just turn the air particles and everything else in front of him into a big old barricade, and wait the storm out if he can't make anything quick enough to disarm him. It might sap all of his "MP" to wait out a razor hurricane, but he can still use the "ATTACK" command without that.

Dante8411 In reply to Blanke [2009-01-12 01:40:03 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I know this sounds unfair, but Oberver's sword normally slices air. His actual attack range is almost twice his katana's length because of the enchantment on it and speed with which he swings it. He can even launch weaker attacks.
Omega Slash would take a LOT to fully block. Odds are Ares would still get roughed up to the point of immobility from a dead hit. Which is very impressive a jump from "Chummed across a mile of ravaged land".

Just because it's a shield from concentrated earth and air with other good stuff around him like chunks of buildings, doesn't mean that it keeps the structural integrity of a pile of junk, rocks, and air. Reconfiguring matter means not just rearranging stuff with his mind, but altering the very properties with that composition. Enough "air" and miscellaneous material gathered around him would provide enough to make a decent shield that clearly isn't air, but some sort of metallic alloy.

Or he could just go the practical route and clear himself a pitfall in the earth, clear a tunnel to run right under the storm as it passes, and pop up with a sucker punch.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dante8411 In reply to Blanke [2009-01-12 02:16:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's subatomic rearrangement, meaning that he can only create as much of the alloy as there are protons and neutrons to form it. Factoring in that with it being a reasonably fast attack, he probably wouldn't be fully shielded by the time it hits.
The Slash is fairly wide, so if he underestimated the depth he'd need to dig, he'd be decapitated.

I guess the outcome would be a matter of cirumstance, unless Ares knew what he was up against. For the record, though, Observer only attacks those who have harmed innocents.

Depends on what kind of Hellspawn this is. Judgement is based on deeds and character. An angel who murdered a child would die over a demon who defended it.

Blanke In reply to Dante8411 [2009-01-12 02:45:37 +0000 UTC]

Hellspawn are guilty by definition- they're remnants of an Earth that has abandoned all morality. They attack people unprovoked, resenting them for having a second chance on Reborn Earth, when The Creator let the now-Hellspawn, then-humans annihilate themselves on what was their planet. There are certain advanced Hellspawn with more complex thoughts beyond "KILL" and "EAT," but they have all developed some form of contempt for the living.

Null is part of the triumvirate that rules over all Hellspawn. She just so happens to exact their goal of taking back the planet by making people turn against each other, instead of burning down villages at every chance. Null's brother, Void, is the go-to guy for rape and pillage. I haven't drawn a lot of the third triumvir yet, though.

So they're the corruption of the extinct humans in concentrated form? Yeah, those are guilty.
...Null and Void...I'm going to need a moment to process that...
So they're just sentient Hellspawn? No hope for redemption or anything?

Blanke In reply to Dante8411 [2009-01-12 03:07:14 +0000 UTC]

Redemption for Hellspawn comes when their souls are finally freed of their malicious impulses. As long as they live the instinct is there, but if they get "killed" their souls may finally find rest. They've dwelt on sin for so long that salvation seems a repulsive concept to them, and so they fight to live when they don't even realize that relief is just a sword swipe away. Hellspawn have lived too far from the truth for too long to realize it in their current form.

*standing in pool of nose blood* Hm, I suppose it will suffice...

*head explodes* GYARBL! XO

Many thanks times OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND, Blanke-kun! It's very clear that you've gone out of the way to include all my favorite features. Glasses? Of course! That's a given. But you've also included that deliciously blue hair, along with a sort of semi-ponytail style that I REALLY like. And there's even a giant, awesome sword... all wrapped up in that one outfit that I liked the most out of all of Null's CGs! Let it never be said that the subtelties of this piece were left unnoticed by Dras! And, of course, Null's ready to kick some tail in more than one way... sword in one hand, spell charge of DOOM in the other. Oh yes. I feel urges to both stand and watch and run for my life at the same time.

*takes out clipboard* Now, let's see what we have here...

Giant sword? Check.

Sexy glasses that fit the wearer's style? Check.

Massive amounts of power fit for destruction and DOOM? Big check.

Sword? Oh yes, check.

Mischievous grin? Check indeedy!

Outfit that shows skin, yet is not entirely promiscuous in nature? Surprisingly enough, check.

Other features? (Null: Two BIG checks! )


Yep, you've got just about everything covered on the Sexy Checklist, Blanke-kun. I couldn't have asked for more. (Well, I COULD have, obviously, but let's save the rest for another time. B) )

Oh, nevermind, the tattoos and ripped pants give her away.

That scorpion-tailsword is completely awesome, and fits the character perfectly. (Something tells me the tip is poisoned as well ) Now I can definitively see that your hands *have* improved. Nice one

The only thing that doesn't convince me is the wrist-hand connection on the arm holding the weapon. Perhaps the wrist needs to be a little more defined. It almost seems that the hand starts too far off. (Then again, it do is being covered by the sword's hilt)

Anyways, another nice CG to behold. Keep up the good work!
