    I'm completely new to the area of photoshop. Mostly I've just been tinkering with it. So, here's the outcome of some early practice. My coloring skills are mediocre at best, so ignore them if you have to.

    And yes, there are several different sizes going on here. Total accident on my part. Oops!

    Please, critiqueing is my only way to get better! Please help me out here!



    Ichigo Kurosaki/Bleach. This is my latest creation and newest avatar (for myself, that is).
    [​IMG]

    Shinji Hirako/Bleach. Bleach is my love obsession right now. I'm suprised I haven't made more avys yet...
    I tried to fix the size on this one, but it would NOT agree with me. Sorry its so grainy!
    My second to latest creation. Not my best obviously, and its my first photoshop piece.
    [​IMG]


    These from here on were made with Jasc Paint Pro.


    Some Roxas/Ven stuff. Pretty blurry in spots... But the first one's the best in my opinion.

    Sora/Roxas.
    [​IMG]

    Terra. I really wanted to do an icon for him but I couldn't find a scan that I really liked. I ended up with this one, and a good friend of mine used it, so it's probably not THAT bad...right? lol.
    [​IMG]

    And finally some Versus XIII stuff. I actually made a wallpaper outta the first one's original picture.

    Again, I appreciate any advice, tips, etc. you can give me. Thanks!

    Yola! New story coming atcha! I hope you all like this one cause I sure do. My descriptions seem to have updated themselves over night. ^-^

    Anywayz, this story takes place directly after KH1, so erase Chain of Memories from your mind. Most of this is during the time that Roxas was an Organization Member, but, as you'll soon find out, it was also during the time that he escaped. Here's the trailer if you want to know what's coming:

    Or here:

    And, without further ado, I give you, Roxas's Story.


    Roxas Has Returned...

    Ch. 1,
    Prologue ~ In the Beginning, There Was
    ...


    A Nobody is a conscious creature that exists for few purposes, a creation born of ignorance. In fact, the reason why it even exists is a mystery in itself. There are lesser Nobodies and there are higher Nobodies. Following the correct chain of command, the lesser ones are under the control of the higher. These higher Nobodies have taken human form through sheer force of will. Thus, in order to maintain their physical purpose, they have banded together against the race of humans in order to steal the one thing they lack: their emotions, their feelings, and their hearts. A Nobody cannot truly exist until they regain their personal heart. This is a reality for all Nobodies. But, there are a few exceptions…

    III~XxXxX~III​

    The light blinded his aqua blue eyes as he stared at the never ending twilight. Holding his gloved hand up to shield himself, he continued to look at the sun carefully. This could easily be his last time to see it so he wanted to consume every detail that the setting sun had to offer. The bright red clouds that encircled it held the power of pure water within their boughs; the midnight sky that lay above entrusted the humans below with its starry gazes; the ocean beneath rippled with the splashes of color in its midst; and the moon, trapped within its coal-black jail of a universe, awaited its turn at glorifying the night sky.

    He sifted through his tan hair with his other hand and sighed a heavy sigh. A chance like this only came once, maybe twice in a lifetime. If he got another chance, he’d live it like there was no tomorrow. After all, this was like a second home to him. He redirected his gaze from the evening dusk to the journey that lay just ahead of him. Behind him sprouted hundreds of readily used buildings with interlaced paths and walkways. But leaning on one of the structures with a half-hearted smile on his face was another person who enjoyed the twilight just as much as he did.

    “You ready?” asked the man. A mass of crimson red hair stuck out from underneath his blackened hood. His lithe figure adjusted to the dark cloak well. Beneath his hidden eyes were two distinct markings that resembled tear drops.

    With a final expression of good-bye, the younger of the two men turned his somber head towards the evening sun.

    “Yeah.”

    Strolling through the town brought back hundreds of forgotten and unforgotten memories. The two men remained in silence on their trip back to their original home. They never referred to it as a literal home; it was just a place where they could rest their heads at night. There was always that slight chance of an attack or a summons that conflicted with their so-called sleep. No, that place wasn’t home. It was just another cage.

    “Why did he send me here?” The younger suppressed the silence with his ominous words. The older flipped the hood off of his ruby head to address him like a normal friend would: without an obstruction.

    “He wanted you to relive your memories.”

    “I’ve done that so many times it’s hard to think straight. I have no clue which ones are really mine.”

    “That’s the whole point. He wants you to be able to distinguish between the two sets. You have yours and he has his.”

    “I’m sick of it. I don’t want to remember anything unless I have to. His memories are his alone; not mine. I don’t want anything to do with him.”

    The auburn haired boy kept the expression of withdrawal fixed upon his face while the other tried desperately to think of something lively to say. His friend was always like this nowadays. There was sometimes no friend to speak of; just an empty shell who walked the halls and reminisced to himself.

    “There’s not much I can do about that,” replied the redhead truthfully. “But we do need to get back.”

    Anger flitted through the teen’s eyes so quickly that neither were sure if it had even been there. Going back to that place that their leader called home was somewhat of a nightmare. All it meant was that their true meaning was being thrust into their faces all over again. Out here, in the real world, they could experience life the way they were supposed to. But back at their jail cell, validity and honesty were rarely found. A symbol haunted them everywhere they went within that domicile. It reminded them time and time again of who they were and what their goal was. It reminded them every time they woke up, every time they went to sleep, every time their padded boots echoed through the hallways, and every time they spoke with the other occupants of their humble abode. There was no real reason to live in such a desolate place, but they had no choice.

    “I know, I know.” The boy’s attitude now reflected sadness. His eyes drifted to the ground as he tried to clear his thoughts of his myriads of difficulties. The man put his light arm around the boy’s shoulders with a friendly squeeze.

    “You’ll get through this. And I’ll be there whenever you need me, okay? Well, ‘cept when I’m drunk.”

    The teen was silent again through the older man’s easy laughter. The recognition of his friend’s comedic reply was meant to cheer him up, but it didn’t. There was too much roaming around for his mind to handle. Focusing on the conversation was the least of his problems at the moment.

    III~XxXxX~III​

    “And that is the plight of this Organization. A mere boy has succumbed to the power of Light and is using his weapon against us. All we wish is to hold our hearts in the palm of our hands, and cherish that moment when we can be whole again. But he believes that his way is the only way of doing things. Therefore, I ask of you this: What shall we do with him?”

    “I say we string him up!”

    “Just let him try to come up against us!”

    “Kill him.”

    The majority of the chaired figures nodded their heads in agreement to the later of the suggestions. Circling a small round room was thirteen all-white chairs of varying heights. Each one held a different person, but all of them bore the traditional midnight black cloak of their group.

    “Leave him alone.”

    Twelve heads perked their ears towards the speaker of the redundant comment. The one who had spoken out was none other than the youngest one among them. He was currently staring at the marble floor below, a distant look in his eyes. He had obviously been trying to lecture to no one other than himself. The fact that anyone had even heard him was a surprise. Usually no one paid any attention to the new guy.

    “You want to run that by us again Number XIII?”

    The sapphire eyes of the boy remained still, unflinching towards the members who were staring him down.

    What the hell is he thinking?! The boy’s jade-eyed friend sat with his arms crossed. If he had tried to speak out against the higher members of the Organization, the punishment would have been almost instantaneous. Unfortunately, that was what his young comrade had just done.

    “I said, why don’t we just leave him alone? It’s not like he can hurt us or anything.”

    “Hmm, true,” retorted the high pitched voice of a female. Her blond hair spiked back in two sections, making it seem like she could impale any of her male companions in an instant.

    “That gives you no right to speak over the Superior!”

    “Patience Vexen, he has his personal opinion just as the rest of us do.” The ever-deepening tone of the group’s leader clanged against the other’s ears. His chair was elevated much higher than that of the rest, making it evident of his authority. “There may be some wisdom in the child’s comment. But, do not let overconfidence be our downfall. We still have work to do if we are to gain our objective. We are still an Organization, an Order of sorts, if you will.” The superior stood high in his chair to address the remainder of his seated disciples. “We are Organization XIII.”

    Kinda short, but like I said, I really do like this story. I'll try to post deviant pics that represent each chapter, but for now I hope you can live with just the written word.

    I WILL be posting this story on fan-fiction. However, the story on fan-fiction will be and UN-EDITED version, therefore containing much more gory, bloody, whatever stuff in it than this version. This first chapter didn't have anything edited in it, so it's the same as the fan-fiction one. I will be posting the links for each fan-fiction chapter as they come out, so don't fret out not having the whole story and nothing but this PG version.

    And I almost forgot to add my musical inspirations for this story. They are as follows:
    Three Days Grace ~ Pain
    Linkin Park ~ Crawling
    Linkin Park ~ What I've Done
    Blue Man Group ~ Persona

    Each are a good listen and the lyrics really are a good description of Roxas as well as other characters.

    This is a completely new story I'm writing that only a few people know about (at least, as far as I know. O.o). Anyway, as you can tell by the title, it's all about Roxas this time. Don't worry, my "Love of a Nobody" story won't be neglected. Both stories will be updated as much as possible over the summer.

    By the way, thanks goes to Axel's#1fangirl as well as my bud khchick55 for reviewing my trailer:

    http://video.kh-vids.net/video/53a47c75-b20c-4bbe-b138-994a008877a9.htm

    The summary:
    We all know the story: Roxas was a member of Organization XIII, a group of beings called Nobodies who desperately search for their missing hearts. But, Roxas left this so-called XIIIth Order to join with the one who still held his captive heart; his Other. He left them of his own accord. Now, what would happen if Roxas was forced to come back? If Roxas's Other was defeated and he was never whole again? I'll tell you his story through his eyes, through a horrid past with dark memories. Now, Roxas has to look towards his gruesome future...Roxas has returned...


    This story will be posted on kh-vids.net as well as fanfiction.net. I'll provide the links for those of you who'd like to read the ff.net one. The difference? The un-edited one will be one ff.net. I'll make an edited version for this site. My reasons? You'll find out once you start reading it.

    I hope you all like, and post if you have questions or comments. Thanks!

    I've noticed keyblades in the secret ending that pertain to KH in particular. One is Fenrir (it's bulkiness is seen in several close-ups). Another is Sleeping Lion (when Aqua looks up to see Terra falling off a cliff, Sleeping Lion is off to the right of the screen). If anyone else can see extra keyblades, post it here. Pics are appreciated as well. (At least we know that Cloud and Leon will play a part in the next game.)


    (I apologize in advance to the mods if this thread has already been made or is in the wrong place.)


    I just found Follow the Wind as well. If you want to see it, freeze your screening of the secret ending at the time of 1 minute, 50 seconds. You can see it falling to the ground along with Terra.

    Also, if you need help finding good pics of the KH2 keyblades, I have a guide right here (note: it's not my picture):

    EDIT:

    Keyblades Found:
    Fenrir (several versions)
    Sleeping Lion (several versions)
    Follow the Wind
    Hero's Crest
    Circle of Life

    Here's a picture of Aqua's keyblade along with her personal render:

    Another drawing I did very randomly at work yesterday. Done especially with my friend *Oblivion* in mind. You rock girl!!!

    Yes, the glove looks extremly weird, but I was chewin on my pinky while I drew this and thought it would be an extremely cute pose for him. And his hair's very bed-heady but I wanted it to be that way.

    Nexydys is a character created from my fan-fic. She's my original character, and if you've never heard of her, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?!?! Just kidding, but if you're curious, go check out my index, The Legends of One. The link is in my sig.

    Now, to the picture. I've been working on a lot of requests lately, so I really needed to make a pic for myself. It contains hints and clues as to what's going to happen in a future section of my story. Any ideas? (Who knows? I might give you some hints in return! :p )

    http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t66/twilit_shadow/axelxnex2.jpg

    Other than the fact that Nex is so short (it wasn't supposed to be that way!) I really am satisfied with the outcome of this pic. Took me 3 hours to get the shading right (I'm never, EVER, doing that again). Anyways, enjoy and comment! Thanks!

    This is pic that took me a little over a week but I'm fairly satisfied with the results. It's just Roxas and Axel, hanging out for old times sake. I hope you like YouSheng!!!

    Done with plain old pencil and paper. (bad quality I know, but my scanner hates me right now). Let me know if you like it!!!

    And yes, Axel looks like he's very, VERY weird. DON'T RUB IT IN!!! Oh, and if you can't tell, Axel is holding one of those little balls that we see with the TWTN gang in the beginning of the game. He's also wearing a chakram necklace. (Roxas looks so much better!! I am so mad at myself for making Axel look like that!!) But I did have fun making this pic. Thanks for checking it out!

    Once again, plain pencil and paper. This is a pic I did for my fan-fic, The Love of a Nobody. Click down on my sig (the legends of one) to go to my index. It's a little blurry so anyone who wants to enhance it for me, let me know. I've used the charecteristics that Nomura first started using with Namine and Roxas: shorter and different-colored hair, and a few minor differences other than the bright green eyes.

    Alright guys, this is my first fan-fic on this site so judge it wisely and I hope you enjoy! It's a complete KH2 parody so all the events set in this story revolve around KH2. All the Org. members are in it (except the ones from CoM who are only mentioned) but Axel along with a new nobody I created are the main characters. Her name is...(you'll find out soon enough). I'll make it in sections cause it's VERY long.




    The Love of a Nobody...(section 1)


    White to black. Black to white. My eyes faded in and out of light and darkness. Ice cold wind blew on my bare skin, tormenting me with pain. I wonder if this was, well, what dying felt like. When the chills of winter surrounded you and you couldn't escape it's embrace. When your breath came out in slow, short rasps and the pain was unbearable.

    A sudden warmth came upon me. I wondered if a fire was nearby. But this warmth didn't feel like an ordinary fire. Footsteps came out of nowhere. I tensed for a deadly blow. The footsteps were slow at first but then sped up to a run. The presence of another body heightened my senses as well as my fear.

    "Geez, where'd you come from?" came a sudden voice.

    A cloak fell upon my bare body. The fire from before was still there but it had grown stronger. I wonder if the cause of the flame was this person standing over me. But how was that possible? I tried to lift my head but the pain brought me back down. I opened my eyes as much as I could to see a bright red glow above me.


    - - - - - - - - - - - -


    An all white room with 13 chairs was like a cage for him. He warped into his own chair with his arms crossed. He had had enough to deal with lately to have to take care of the new kid. He turned his head and glanced around at the other members sitting in their own respective chairs. The highest chair held the Superior, cloaked in the traditional Organization 13 outfit. He turned his head towards the new arrival.

    "Tell us Axel, is she worthy of our Organization?" The figure asked.

    "I don't know," Axel replied in a straight tone. "She didn't seem that apt to talk."

    Another figure spoke up. He was sitting in a lower chair and was sifting through some playing cards. "Well she was unconscious when you found her."

    Another figure whose legs were crossed spoke. "What is her power?" he asked in a melancholly voice. Saix was never one to express much emotion. But, then again, nobodies had no emotion to express.

    "I'm not sure," Axel told them. "She's pretty weak though. I laid her down in Larxene's old room. I won't know much else until tomorrow."

    A skinny form looked down at Axel from his high chair. A surfer dude accent came out from under the hood. "So, we don't know her power, she's too tired to even stand...Doesn't sound like a worthy cause to me."

    Axel was annoyed. This Organization didn't think he could do anything right. "Give me a little more time Xigbar. I'll figure out something."

    One of the forms sitting next to the Superior perked up. A lone dreadlock hung out. "And what of the other one? Has he made the right choice yet?"

    Axel was even more annoyed. A dark shadow crossed his face. He didn't want to talk about that. Especially not to them. He portalled off without a word.

    Folks, this is what I believe. And please help me with your own views and opinions but keep it positive okay?

    (SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT PLAYED KH2!!!!!)

    Because I'm new, I won't have many pics up but I will have my own opinions ready and rarin to go.

    Here are my reasons why I believe that Riku and Ansem/Xehanort/Xemnas are related in some way (I think they're father and son):


    1) In Chain of Memories, Zexion specifically says that Riku smells like the superior. The manga even mentions that they smell "extremely similar". (This is one of the most important reasons)

    2) Ansem tells Riku in CoM that the scent of darkness is bred in his bones indicating some sort of dark ancestory.

    3) Physical appearance: Silver hair, muscular build, and power over darkness.

    4) (Another very, very important one) Their moves are extremely similar. If you look at Another Side, Another Story, Deep Dive, watch very closely the moves that Riku uses when fighting Roxas. Then, in the Sora vs. Xemnas battle when Xemnas uses an illusion of The World That Never Was, watch the scenes of Xemnas's moves when using reaction commands against him. The moves used between the two of them are identical.





    Please PLEASE give me feedback on this. I'd love to know what you think!!!!! Positive reviews are always appreciated!!!! Thank you very much guys!!!! :D
