WHOO!!
for starters, this is completely random, but I had some high
school award ceremony tonight, and I got awards for excellence in Spanish and
Computers. No surprise. The good news is, the technology department gave us 8GB
flashdrives.
You wanna know how much 8GB holds?
I put nearly every single one of my word documents and
pictures on there, and I've barely taken up any room. It wasn't until I added
the spare amount of music that I could that it started filling up
and...
random...
but KKBeckett asked why 23 was being so cold all of a sudden
(or kind of all of a sudden). It was a review on that one ASAS chapter.
Anyway, the reason 23's being so cold is because, partially,
he never wanted to help Riku in the first place. He thought 19 was being weird
for helping him, especially since he had just killed Master Vexen (it's funny
how I refer to my Vexen as that, and then magik's Vexen is just Vexen). 19 was
the one who had finally convinced him to help Riku out it, though he never
really liked doing it.
then he figures out that 19 has been hiding stuff from him.
And, from the sounds of things, 19 isn't usually the kind of person to keep
secrets from anyone, especially not his brothers. So the fact that he has been
offended 23.
So a good portion of his anger is against 19, but I think
there are other complications, too.
I really should be going to bed, but I'm not tired, and dang
insomnia won't let me sleep unless I'm exhausted.
so...

I got bored and drew that. I uploaded the version with the fixed/different lighting but the picture's the same 'cept now it's not whitewashed
anyway, I got bored. Those thorns were a pain. I really
should stop drawing them, but... they're so- idk. I like them. I can draw them.
They're a pain, but I can draw them.
You know what else was a pain? Adapting Len's hair to look
like Sora. Now, if you've seen Len, you'll be very confused, because both he
and Sora have really spiky hair, and all you usually have to do is adapt it
minorly to look a bit more realistic and cut off the ponytail. However, though
I still had to dothose things, there was another problem
Len had really long bangs in this one. And,
as fine and dandy as that is for him, Sora has really short bangs.
And so... changing that was a bit of a pain. I like how it finally turned out,
though.
I have a lot to say about this picture.
see, if I had the original picture that I adapted this from,
I'd show you. Well, one sec, lemme look through my history
anyway, if you see that, you'll understand a bit where I'm
coming from.
See, I saw that picture and I imediately wanted to do
something with Sora and Shad. Because, on the left of that picture, you have
regular Len, on the right, idk who it's supposed to be, exactly, but I'm
assuming it's Len, just a bit-
Idk, I felt like that second Len had just been created or
something. And, because he was just created, he looked a bit wilder (his hair's
not pulled back and is a mess)
so, this picture of Sora and Shad might be sometime shortly
after Shad's creation, or something. Or it's just metaphorical of the two of
them. Idk. But, Shad looks a bit more wilder because, y'know, he's Shad and I
would actually imagine that his hair's a bit messier for some reason. Or, if it
wasn't before, it is now, 'cause I like that idea.
This picture as a whole, though, is quite symbolic. See, the
original picture, it had that weird flower thingy between the two of them, and
that wasn't relevant at all, and I didn't want to just copy it. So, I did that
weird thorn structure you see in my finished product.
It has a heart in the middle, which was originally Sora's,
but I changed it when I started coloring it so that it was half Shad's,
because, whether he likes it or not, he was spawned from Sora's heart. So, the
darker half of the heart is, no duh, Shad's.
The thorns are a recurring theme in my Sora pictures. I
mean, it was a major part of his Keyblade in FtP. They showed up again (not in
a picture) on that Nightmare, aka, Big Ugly. The thorns have become
representive of his struggle with the darkness.
So, the thorns are like... trying to drag him back down...
or something. Idk, that's the explanation that kept running through my head.
The darkness around Shad is there because, well, he's
darkness, and I didn't think the thorns would be around him. They aren't trying
to drag him into darkness. So... you get those whisps of darkness instead
(which could've looked SO much better)
on another note, forgot to mention, that flower at the top
of the thorn structure- idk what it is- but it's, I guess, a representation of
Sora's light. The thorns are, of course, trying to smother the flower.
Then, another note, Len in the original picture wasn't
wearing clothes (which further emphasizes my creation/recently spawned
interpretation). I mean, it's not like it's a major problem, since it was
mainly focusing on their faces, but that's why Sora and Shad aren't wearing
clothes and this sounds so awkward.
moving on.
I debated for a bit about whether or not I would draw Sora's
necklace. But, y'know, I just recently officially established that Kairi gave
him the necklace, so it represents either his light or his connection to her,
and since this picture has a subtle "darkness trying to consume Sora"
theme (is it subtle, or is it the main theme? It's getting late and I can't
tell) it needed to be there. It kinda looks like the thorns are going after it,
too (though that, honestly, was pure coincidence)
That's all I gotta say.
oh, except that I love Shad's smirk. I mean, I still don't
think it's entirely a smirk, but- whatever. I like how it turned out. It looks
enough like his evil grin that I am satisfied with it.
That's all
I should really go to bed now
