EDIT: The companion piece of Atlantean Heartless Even is now posted! View it here: [link]


DESCRIPTIVE TITLE IS DESCRIPTIVE. (Also, full-view please!)

Some Atlantean!Vexen for ~chowdahxhead's inner Xigbar, because it's only fair for him to see what he's been fucking of late. Yes, I know he has a girly garment. But the dude one just didn't show enough skin for my tastes.

It was supposed to be just a doodle, but then the little bitch demanded more. He's currently printed out, laminated, and serving duty as a bookmark.

I'm always puzzled why people go OMG OLD MAN over Vexen. I mean, yeah, you can't mistake him for a fifteen-year old girl, and age-wise he's definitely older than most of the Organization. But he doesn't actually look that old. Just less girly. Even if he does have hips like a woman. X3

My Even was Atlantean, and I was ever so pleased when I found out that other people (namely ~GoldphishCrackers) had had the same idea. 'Thank heavens!' I said to myself. 'I haven't completely lost it!' The Atlantis of the universe I play in is a world of its own, though the Sundering and Mehbelmok threw it far off from the other worlds. Like in the movie, the civilization sank below the surface.

So, when Vexen got sent there in an RP on an off-world mission, this is how he turned out. For the curious, the tattoo above his eye is a modification of the Atlantean numeral 4. He's an elder in the Organization. He's allowed to possess above-the-browline markings of rank. DAMN KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN! His lawn. Whatever. *sprays with garden hose*

And the book he's holding is, indeed, the 'Gay Man's Kama Sutra'. X3 Whether it's a present from Xigbar or for Xigbar is anyone's guess. Possibly both.

...Probably both.

He looks gorgeous~ *o* <3
I love the tattoos!

I hate you all! ಥ_ಥ
:iconjaubrey:
Aww, thank you! :3 I love him so much~

I'm actually sketching the rest of an accompanying Heartless Even piece that's in the Atlantean theme as well, so it has some of the other tattoos that you don't get to see in Vexen's shot. X3 Hoooopefully that'll go up in the next few days, if I can jump on the whole linework thing.

(I'm kinda in love with Xem's hair in that one picture you did of Xemnas and Saix, where it looks like his hair is cropped short. Actually, I'm kinda in love with your XemSai stuff, period. <3)

Wow, this is incredible! I particularly like the use of flat colors; the viewer is able to appreciate all the subtle nuances of the drawing without getting distracted.

Hats off to you!
:iconjaubrey:
Wow, thank you so much! :3 I'm really trying to learn how to CG with shading and everything, but I really think flat colours can be just as nice when properly executed (especially if paired with coloured lines to make things seem more integrated). They just seem to get a bad reputation as the lazy artist's way out of doing 'real colouring', even though it honestly takes time to pick a workable colour palette and so on. :(

Plus, you can't really flub on anything with flats. There's no awesome shading to cover up issues, so you really load lots of time into getting your linework spot on.

It's so awesome to see someone who really appreciates them! :3
