Dandelion Union Leaders stylization project is finally done!

Took longer than expected and it has been a ride, but I can’t say I didn’t have fun.

This piece was one of my early ventures into stylization and also one that showed me, even better, that stylizing can be freeing.

My favorites are probably Elrena and Strelitzia! Ones I’d like to re-draw most are Brain and Ventus!

Obnoxious watermarks have become a necessity due to AI theft, so you’re stuck with them - however, there is a Ko-Fi membership available with non-watermarked art by me (still signed though)

To those that ignore KH mobile games and think they aren't relevant to the plot and that Luxu's just an uncaring asshole.

And who wouldn't go through a change in personalty if you were forced to accomplish a role alone for centuries? The same goes for Ava. By the way, those two are the only ones who have successfully completed their roles.

Also, forgetting that without Luxu:

Strelitzia wouldn't have gotten to Quadratum if it wasn't for him.

Saved Brain from a horrible fate if it was out of mercy or something else that's up to interpretation.

Luxu, as Braig, secretly takes Skuld from apprentice Xehanort saving her from a fate worse than death. Skuld had already been experimented on and had an X engraved into her. If Luxu hadn't taken her when he did apprentice Xehanort likely would've killed her. Luxu spared Skuld from having to go through more hell than she’d already experienced.

Later he finds the nobodies of Lauriam and Elrena.

(I would've included Ephemer, but it's likely unlikely that he even sees Ephemer again).

When they first asked Ephemer if they should build the statue made in his image, his gut reaction was to decline.

The idea of seeing some kind of stone or metal version of himself was amusing at best and awkwardly strange at worst, and he wasn't the type to want giant memorials made in his honor in the first place. He joked that if they were going to do something like that, they should at least wait until after he passed on (Though they didn't laugh at it at all. It was always difficult to lighten up the mood, then and now). But they kept insisting for weeks. Everyone seemed determined to go through it. They told him he single-handedly built Scala ad Caelum from the bottom up. That he gathered the people and gave them all something to believe in.

If anything, Ephemer thinks, he built Scala to primarily give himself something to believe in. His ambition expanded into something more grandiose as he started to bring everyone else in—considering the future and what potentially could happen—but when you wake up with stinging eyes and lungs weighed down by smoke and dust, it's hard to imagine anything beyond the grief. Even now, thinking about a specific fedora, a rose, a tuft of blonde hair, a pair of star earrings, makes him want to cry (the Book mentions them—swept away in different times with the words describing something vague but ominous—and he's glad but also bitter and hateful. Why us? he thinks.). But that wasn't the heroic or motivational thing to say, so it was best for him to leave such truths to himself.

(He scours the book again for anything about a specific face, a description of a person he still wakes up in tears over. Some things in the text give him hope, but never as definite of an answer. There had to be something beyond a beam of light piercing them, beyond the agony that distorted their face, accenting the eyebags under their eyes. Ephemer didn't want that to be the last thing he did for them.)

When he finds himself at the unfinished fountain in the town square, an idea strikes him. Scala wasn't as bright as Daybreak Town and didn't have the colored roads and buildings that gave the world a life it lacked in other aspects. But it was a fountain, wasn't it? If there was a chance his friends could find the things he left behind long after his time, then...

When Ephemer is asked about the statue again, he says he wants it placed on top of the fountain. The room gives him a look, and when someone finds the courage to ask him why, he shrugs with a placid smile.

"I'm keeping my promises this time."

Stylization of the KHUX crew is finally finished!

Took longer than expected, but I also wen back to re-do lines I did previously - simply because I wanted to make them thinner - so that they would all fit in together

It has been a ride, but I can’t say I didn’t have fun.

This piece was one of my early ventures into stylization and also one that showed me, even better, that stylizing can be freeing. I tend to end up with a very narrow focus when I’m drawing - getting frustrated with anatomy or perspective or some other detail that just ‘doesn’t look right!’ so I keep re-drawing and fixing.

With this I can let go of my ridiculous need for realism in a 2D medium!

My favorites are probably Elrena and Strelitzia! Ones I’d like to re-draw most are Brain and Ventus!

All in all I am satisfied, especially given how long of a pause I had between drawings. The final product is satisfying, that’s all I can ask for. :D

The sleeping dandelions waiting for Brain to wake them up

[endlessskymaster]

Based on Ephemer's comments to Skuld, I'm eager to see more flashbacks of Ava teaching the Dandelions. Ava's lessons went beyond just Keyblade and magic training, as she imparted valuable life lessons to her students.

Ephemer's words indicate that Ava taught the Dandelions either as a group or individually.

Au where Ephemer is the only Union Leader who’s actually supposed to be there, everyone else is the “traitor”.

(Note: Just like in canon, Ven is not aware that he is a fake Union Leader. The others, however, are fully aware of that. What they are not aware of is that everyone besides Ephemer is a faker, leading to them having this dynamic:)
