"That is the story told by pain

Still hesitant to call it love [...]

That is the story told of pain

Still hesitating to call it love"

Training drawing done with references for postures (Xemnas and Riku poses obviously are based on a famous picture of the game « Bioshock Infinite » )


When you start to write for fun with a friend, on a game you don't especially like at all, but it suddenly becomes really cool when you start composing with your characters (the universe of the story becomes also a lot darker and "human" suddenly too xD).

(... Yeah I have to admit I'm not a fan at all of Kingdom Hearts games. I'm not fond of all the combination of the Disney's worlds etc.)

=====================================================================================================================

Soooo... concerning a story, where Xehanort in possession of Terra's body still marked by his affection for Riku, with malicious intent at the beginning, abducts Riku for his plans. But he ends up raising Riku as his own child.

After some years, he loses him because of the failure of one of his experiences. Both him, as he finally totally succumbs to the Darkness, and Riku lose the memories of their happy years together.

Years later, Xemnas meets with Riku and they both start to relive some memories. Confused by the antic affection, that was purely paternal, of Xehanort and Terra, Xemnas develops tender feelings of an other nature for Riku, without being aware of the paternal relationship between him and his « past selves ». The feeling is absolutely not mutual and Xemnas is very conflicted because of the influences of Xehanort and Terra, who remain like some non-physical "counterparts", alter ego.

The story is also especially about Larxene, Marluxia, Axel, Saix and Xigbar, so I might draw them soon.

Nice to see the "Infinite" pose being used for something that's not in a romantic sense...

SPOIL (or maybe.... the game is old now XD)

I didn't play the Bioshock game, but from what I've seen, the protagonist and Elizabeth are father and daughter (I can't picture them otherwise now XD). So, as it was the same kind of link here, it made more sense for me to use it as a reference. And it was good training for action postures also btw ^^
