Obsessed with the Brinhylder vessel for Luxu in khml that's canon to me now ty

Hi. WOW I meant to get to this ages ago, but I had major burn out. I wanted to share my design for Brinhyldr with this ask, that's why it's taken so long.

I'm spelling her name as Brinhyldr instead of Brynhildr to further associate her with Bragi, Braig/Xigbar.

I chose the name, because in stories that include her, she's often said to be a Valkyrie, and in some poems, she's one that has disobeyed Odin and received punishment. I'm not hugely knowledgeable about them, other than she's often married to or deceived by Sigurd (another Norse inspired ML character!)- or both.

I chose to go with mostly what her name interprets to- which is 'armour' and 'battle'. Making her a strong-looking woman. She's older than the typical 'Keykids'; I'd say around mid 20's. I had some trouble with the hair-colour, but thanks to a friend that helped me brainstorm colours, we landed on this nice pinkish-auburn (which is reminiscent of Marluxias' beta/GBA desgin).

As for the clothes, I threw together a mix of Greek/Roman (top shirt) with a Norse flair (belt and armband), along side a hint of modernity (undershirt, gloves), and older tastes (long skirt, boots). The coat in the right full-body isn't Luxu's coat, but one that I see her carrying around/wearing sometimes; as I see this form of Luxu as a bit of a 'rule breaker' (tying into the name origin/story).

The clothes eventually landed on blue; they were originally pink off/pink but- along with my friend, concluded that it washed her out too much, and that teal/blue would be complementary- which is what I truly wanted because in almost all iterations of Luxu we've seen so far (outside Xigbar because Organization Uniform, and his original vessel) Luxu wears *blue*. Bragi has his light blue jacket, and Braig wears the deep blue guard uniform. Which is funny because I associate Xigbar with purple a lot.

Finally- I looked up ML Keyblades and found that one; which I chose because it's main motif is light, and Luxu started the war over Lux (or at least the big war that concluded it).

In honor of Dark Road’s Finale coming, I think it’s time I share with you some of the artwork I did this month while anticipating this very moment. I can’t tell you enough how much his story means to me. Since the day back in 2007 when I saw the secret endings of KH2 on YouTube, my curiosity on the bald man named Xehanort will hopefully and finally be satisfied.

See you all on the other side!

—they used to tell me i'd achieve great things.

—"did you become who they hoped you'd become or do you feel as trapped as i did?"

I think I wanted to draw this when I was watching Dark Road but it's been so long I can't remember. (I'm also surprised that I've been self-sustaining this as my current fixation... I missed them lots...)

Not sure if this has already been shared on Tumblr, but I really like this video. I think it's a really good summary of all the ways that KHDR is compelling despite its flaws. The rest of their channel is filled with other great KH videos, too.

The worst characters are the ones were you only get like three pieces of lore about them but the lore is so fascinating and hits your brain at just the right angle to have you behaving like a feral dog in front of your conspiracy theory cork board
