Whoa, been a while since we submitted, eh? Been a while since I finished this picture too. Like, back in October.
This is sort of a celebratory 'we're alive' posting( since we should be dead or something), but there will be more to come on that, later.

Here we have the six recipients of the Ansem Apprenticeship Internship Scholarship...thing. I put them in order for ease of identification.

I sort of wanted to draw the six original Nobodies YOUNG. Because I think that a great deal of people who play Kingdom Hearts gloss over the villains and their struggle. They've been working for YEARS. Years of research, years of painstaking effort, years of yearning for something they can't quite reach. Years that are so totally obliterated by our Sora that not only do they mean nothing, but no one remembers them, either. Here's your life lesson, folks. Never dream of doing big things. Someone will come along and keyblade you to death because its different from the norm.

Anyhow, uh...
I like how Braig, Ienzo, and Xehanort (to an extent) came out. Everyone else sucks. Dilan looks like a girl, Even looks like a grandma, Elaeus looks like he's on Steroids, and Ansem looks like Tseng. But hey, this was actually drawn a while ago. I promise I'll work on making future drawings not suck so much.





The reason this was sitting on the pending shelf for so long was because I was experimenting with many various background options as I tire of needlessly blank whiteness all the time. So yeah...it's true that Saeru got a lot better at drawing over the course of me getting around to coloring and assembling this. ^_^; But we did spend some time on this, so might as well upload it. I think the expressions are still fairly amusing on this. Feel free to caption any of their dialogue. ^_-

Watercolors, watercolor pencil & Microns. A bit of Photoshop at the end to touch up and add the background (which is a photo of mine of some wall in Jerome, Arizona.)
