"Rah rah rah. Go Chemistry Club, go, and so on.”


Notes from ~saeru =

Ah. Here we are. Now this is something I've been looking forward to!

I absolutely love drawing the Organization back when they were apprentices, and relatively young. They managed to get a little bit older in this picture...if I had to give an age I'd say Xehanort is about 16-17 while Braig and Dilan are more 20-22, which seems like it'd be a bit closer to their actual ages at the beginnings of their apprenticeships to Master Ansem. Unfortunately, I'm a little less creative when it comes to hairstyles (although I figured they'd be getting closer to what they eventually end up with, at this point,) but Dilan's hair has got a delicious weight to it that I love to draw.

My biggest downfall in this picture, true to form, is the one thing I wanted to get right: poor little Xehanort. He's cross-eyed for some reason and I cannot save him for the life of me.

So, wondering what they are up to?

Well, Even has apparently conned little Xehanort into helping hand out flyers for his Chemistry Club, and Braig couldn't pass up the chance to put himself out on display and thus invited himself (and Dilan) to come along. Silly Braig. He thinks he makes science look good.

So, uh...I turned this picture into a story

That might explain a bit why Reno and Elena are making a guest appearance in the back...?



Notes from ~U-E =

This is one of the most complicated "scenes" we've done so far, so maybe there is hope for us? Saeru once again drew this absolutely obscenely small, by the way, especially our "atmospherically elongated" figures in the far back. But I managed to pull through and not destroy the linework in the end.

I just wonder why Braig's wardrobe seems to eerily mirror my own...? ^_^; Also, Dilan's hoodie (in case you can't read it) says "Thief Level 3" - so everyone knows what job class -that- implies, right? ^_-
