Description "I try to find myself
I find the stranger trapped inside
And I'll take one more step away
From the face I used to recognize
Familiar shadows closing in
Suffocating fear descends
It comes alive, uncovered eyes"
~Break Me Down

I found inspiration for this picture in Red's song "Break Me Down". It fits Terra perfectly, with his struggle to reclaim himself from Lord Xenhort's corruption. A corruption that produces a false identity for him (Terranort) and, when his physical body is sacrificed, a Heartless (Ansem) and a Nobody (Xemnas). Aqua, his comrade, is ultimately unable to save him from the evil that engulfs him.

As always, comments are welcome and appreciated.
The picture took me 3 hours to ink and 4 days to colour.

I always feel bad for Terra. He didn't have a good ending in Birth By Sleep (I don't think anyone except Xenhort did).
I return the high five. Thank you.

The song fits him absolutely! I love this piece so much. The shadows in Xemnas' face are awesome, and the perspective with Terranort is amazing.
Great piece and GREAT JOB!

Terra7 In reply to Ketzel99 [2011-07-24 05:29:00 +0000 UTC]

Your English isn't bad. XD I feel the same, Terra's fate is very sad. Although I think that Aqua has the worst fate since, aside from being trapped in the Realm of Darkness, she retains all her mermories of the tragic events at the end of Birth By Sleep. These include Terra loosing himself to the darkness (and not remembering who he is/ what he had done) and Ventus falling into an eternal slumber.

Ketzel99 In reply to Terra7 [2011-07-24 06:36:41 +0000 UTC]

he he heh, you're right xD, still, to be honest, all three are sad fate ... because as he said ... Aqua is the realm of darkness, Ventus in eternal rest, and terra ... I'll be there for XD

Terra7 In reply to Venrosonitas [2011-07-20 00:35:54 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know there was a Ventus cycle. XD But I think it involves Sora, Roxas, and Vanitas. I have another seperate picture dedicated to Ventus that's kind of like this one. I have to upload it.

My friend who's played the whole series told me about it but I don't remember. Sure! I can add some of the description to my comment once I post the Ventus "cycle" picture.

Venrosonitas In reply to Terra7 [2011-07-20 12:29:02 +0000 UTC]

Well it all started when Sora was born...Ventus had lost part of his heart and needed a heart to rest within, his heart found Sora.At this same time Vanitas, Ventus' other half was forming so he adopted Sora's face because of Ventus' contact with Sora.When Ventus kills Vanitas and destroy's his heart he once again needs a place to rest because his heart was strong enough to survive... He again finds Sora and rest. This gives Sora the ability to wield the keyblade. Having two hearts it gives him the ability to dual wield! When Roxas s born he gains what would be 1 and a half hearts. This gives Roxas his apperance as well as Namine's blond hair! There own because of the weird form they were born in and part of ventus' heart.(Namine would be able to dual wield) Roxas meets Xion and when he lends her 'his' keyblade he actually lends Ventus' keyblade. Xion's keyblade is Ventus so Xemans sees her as Ventus. When Xion dies Roxas takes control of her keyblade again. This gives Roxas the abiltiy to dual wield as welll!

SPOILER

Ventus' heart is repeared and finally is repeared and goes back to his body! He just needs someone to wake him up.
VENTUS CYCLE ENDS HERE


Wow that was long!

Terra7 In reply to Venrosonitas [2011-07-21 03:49:21 +0000 UTC]

You're right, that's long. XD

So Roxas and Namine are both Nobodies, right? I have a VERY hard time understanding what Nobodies are (my friend's told me a million times and I still don't get it). I've never seen Namine wield a keyblade. Does she actually fight or anything? I know she draws, haha.

Ah, how is Ven`s heart repaired excatly?

Venrosonitas In reply to Terra7 [2011-07-21 04:13:23 +0000 UTC]

Namine can wield a keyblade but she does't she just has the power to. A nobody is a person that is just a body and no heart and they originate from another person who does have a heart!

It repair over time while his heart sleeps within Soras

That's cool. So Ventus is not dead or anything and he can be saved! Does it matter who wakes him up?

Music is so inspirational, isn't it? (That song really, really sounds like early Linkin Park. It's like 'I can't believe its not butter' to Linkin Park. I'll have to check out more of Red's stuff because I've fallen -out- of love with Linkin Park since they're so different now...)

Also... the intense black lines for extra shading is nice. <3
