Will I Ever Stop Loving Randall And / Or Miracle Mask? I Honestly Don’t Think So.

"Behold. These lifeless keys used to be full of power." 16 Days.

I love Birth by Sleep just so incredibly much <3 And this was probably the most awesome finale I have ever seen in any game. I played the end so often that I soon knew all the lines by heart – and I had a great time annoying everyone who had just a remote idea of what Kingdom Hearts is with my immitation of Master Xehanort. Ah yes, good old times. xDDD

I'm not dead

And to proof that I have a WIP of my actual AkuSaiMonth (that is long gone, but who cares? xDD) day 22 fill for you!

(it's actually almost done, just needs a bit more ... finetuning. I love coloring with crayons (or colored pencils? I'm still not sure how to call them ö_ö), but it always takes me quiet some time.)

Nah, seriously, sorry for being so inactive, I'm quiet surprised that I still have that many followers (even more that I had before actually x'D)

I'm a bit busy lately, summer's over so now I've got time for conventions, which means, I've got to finish my cosplays x'D (I still need to do the Deadly Nadder costume I promised to my sister and the fitting Astrid Hofferson for me until mid october @_@")

My main problem though is that my Photoshop broke down. I got a bluescreen and now it's acting like I never activated it in the first place and when I'm trying to open it, it's just telling me that it's going to install the test version, Yeah great, thank you. (I am now officially desperate enough to use PS Elements on the PC in the hotel I'm working to edit my pictures; i just can't upload any unedited pictures =_=" My pride won't allow it)

Once I solved that problem there will be more pictures again, promise.

Oh right, I forgot that Tumblr keeps making my pictures blurry ... sorry, I tried to fix it, I honestly ran out of ideas and google isn’t helping me either. Clicking helps though …

Oops, it’s been a while. No, I’m still not dead, I just … kind of forgot to post my art here as well. I’m currently more active on Instagram  (-> https://www.instagram.com/herzblutrose/)

I’m scheduling some drawings now though. I think I’ll post one drawing a day,  so you won’t get 15 posts at once shoved into your face.

Thanks for sticking around!

One more thing about the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour. I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this before and I’m sorry if I’m spoiling anyone, but.

Akusai. There’s a hint in the concert. Kairi says that Lea “has a best friend to save”. Yes, that could be Roxas (it can’t be Xion, he still doesn’t remember her), but it would be such a strange way to say it if that was the case. It fits Isa just so much more. Maybe that’s just what I want to see, but ... ... well, yes, I really really want to see it like that. I want Lea to call Isa one of his best friends. I want him to save him. Please.

(ID in Alt)

Actually I wanted to draw her in fancy evening attire, but I kinda forgot halfway through and now she's wearing jeans. Tbf, I think that might be in-character.

(I drew this to test my then new polychromos, but I like it a lot, so ... why not share it?)

AU where Lea and Isa live together and adopt Roxas, Xion and Naminé. They both love all three of them of course, but somehow Naminé turns out to be Isa's little darling.

(About the drums in the background, I vote they belong to Xion. It would be just too badass.)

I made myself a little reference sheet for Isa’s new clothes! I’m pretty sure they get warped a little by the animation, so some of the details are probably a bit off, but I did my best anyway.

I decided to share it, because maybe it’s a little helpful to others too?

Tumblr crops the pictures by the way, so it’s better to click them.

AKUSAIMONTH // 2017 Day 1: Red & Blue

“Hey. Remember when we used to argue who the sky belongs to?”

“Because everything that’s blue was mine and everything in red yours? Yes, I do. You used to claim you’d overpower me in the evening.”

“Well… Can’t say I was wrong about that?”

“… Idiot.”

“Hehe. Anyway … What I was actually going to say: How about we call it a truce?”

“A truce.”

“Yeah, we never got to a conclusion. So let’s just say, we both own the sky.”

“That’s … This is stupid.”

“Heh. I knew you’d like the idea!”

[Day 1] [Day 2] [Day 3]

Two (older) sketches I felt like sharing. 

The left one (Coronation) is from June ‘16 and is part of an AU I work on from time to time. The right one (Betrayal) is pretty much a redraw, but in a different context. I drew that one in March this year.

Though they look very similar, they have a slightly different subject: Coronation is about outward-directed anger, about something that has happened / is still happening and could not be prevented. Betrayal on the other hand is about self-hatred. About an inward-directed anger that comes from allowing a person to get close enough to hurt one.

I like to see them both lined up next to each other, because it emphasizes the differences. Also, I think they complete each other.
