Keyblade fun time!

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

I started doodling, and now I can't stop! And hey, I need practice in design, don't I?

So I'm opening myself up to keyblade requests! I more than likely won't get final products out before the end of the event. But since people get to keep them, what the hell. I'll at least try to get sketches done this weekend.

Requests can be anything. Just toss up your character's name if you have no idea what you want. Or give me whatever detail you want, from "It should look spiky" to the colors you want used to in-depth description. Or even an existing keyblade as a base (Bee's was based off one from the games, Alex's off a rusty key I have on my wall).

I'll keep tabs here and add the finished product to the post. 8D

EDIT: This request post will remain OPEN even after the event ends!
Also, please only make requests for your own. Everyone is capable of requesting for their character.

I've already designed one for Bumblebee, Alexander (Rev's OC) and Crawford.




Due to size, I won't show the full page of sketches here, but if you follow this weird bit of text you'll find all 23 30 sketches!

Requests so far:
(asterisk denotes completed sketch)

*Adrian (Gayest keyblade to ever gay)
*Graham (something wrenchy)
*Sho (Something mathy)
*America
*Megatron
*Tally (white and sleek with heart pendant key chain)

*Starscream (Whirlwinds reaper)
*Rion (Beeject)
*Blitzwing (purple glowey)
*Pyramid Head
*Wasp (Like Bumblebee's but green, black and purple)
*Pearl (re-do the one Auria already drew)
*Tony (Based off Iron Man armor with arc reactor key chain)
*Lelouch (based off the symbol)
*Vincent (Dirge of Cerberus)
*Prowl (Still Strike, fusion of tech and nature)
*Mare (Glorious Dawn or Only Revolutions - Wind/water similar to Starscream and Squall)
*Aaron (Green Destiny - Plants and leaves kinda art nouveau. Glass Future - green and violet stained glass)

*Cyrus (Eternal Revolutions - blue and swirly)

*Neriae (bubbles everywhere)
*The Major (black and red, pointy, flames, swastikas)


As of 11/19 at 12:02pm (PST) all requested keyblades have been sketched out. I will move on to the final process later this week, once I get some other stuff taken care of.

Oh god I could totally dig a version of Starscream's that doesn't suck XDDD

My art skills do not extend to weaponry 8(

I forgot the keychain.. its a wee nautilus shell with a fish. :'l

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Can do!

Nautilus shell with a fish...like this? (http://fractalontology.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/nautilus.jpg)

[citygrit]

kjgfhfk fffff I am still in awe of Alexander's AWESOMESAUCE Keyblade.

/YOINKS

Man. I think Rion is going to need a Keyblade now. 8| THANKS, GUYS.

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

A keyblade based on a beeject for Wion?

[loving-killing.livejournal.com]

Dude these keyblades are totally rad. I AM IN AWE OF YOUR WEAPONMAKING ABILITIES

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Why thank you. *bows*

[poisonousflame]

OMG these are amazing. *stares in awe*

U-uh, if you don't have too many requests already.... I'd absolutely love one for Blitzwing. I was thinking something kind of based off of this Blitzwing's knife thing, which glows purple and ... y-yeah. IDK, go nuts with it. (Even better if the handle or keychain somehow reflects his different faces. *wishes she could draw, sob*)

Also, if you want to do a um ... Keyblade version of the Great Knife? >.>; Just if you want to. (Would probably be easier than Blitzwing's. XD;)

EITHER ONE WOULD BE AWESOME.

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

I actually had some ideas for PH. >] Something kinda similar to Alex's, with the rust and barbed wire.

I'll add both of them to the list. 8D

[auriatetsukai.livejournal.com]

U-uh okay. Trying not to be too demanding and probably failing.

So for Tally's, it needs to be really sleek. And probably white, ffff. The keychain should be a tiny, heart-shaped pendant like the kind you find on necklaces. Because the city is a bitch to Tally.

Terra's just...I think it'll basically be Metal Chocobo covered in rock. I don't even know. I can't think of anything imaginative for her. But the keychain should be her butterfly clip (http://images.titansgo.net/screenshots/203/172.jpg).

And uh. I know you're swamped, but if you could...streamline Pearl's awful colored pencil Keyblade (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a183/cutelilsage2/WaytoEtansel.png), that would be so amazingly awesome. Here's (http://lom.ffsky.cn/image/AF/jumi.gif) what I based it off of, if you need a reference.

/demanding little wanker

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Nah, not demanding at all! I'll add them to the list.

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Here. Have the sketch (http://flyonpaperwings.com/fuckfuckfuck/keyblades/auria.jpg) of all three! 8D

[myheartglows]

oh man, please design something for Tony. i will love you forever dlksalfa. i dunno, something like the armor, i've no idea. >_> i suck at keyblade design.

[myheartglows]

of course the keychain is the chest reactor, ffff.

[vanished-prince.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is amazingly nice of you. They look wonderful. *__*

If you're not too swamped, I'd like one for Lelouch. Maybe you could play off of the Geass symbol (http://electric-dreams.net/rawr/src/1249517777802.jpg)? Anything would be fabulous.

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

I don't know much about Lelouch or the series, but I'll give it a shot!

[redwhitensnark]

Did my own, already, but wanted to post and say that one you did up for Alexander is fucking awesome. BARBED WIRE FTW OMG. And dammit, any weapon shaped like a guitar is brilliant. Especially one with the plug integrated like that.

Killer job, yo!

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Why thank you!

You do realize this means you need to share yours, right?

[optionalwangst.livejournal.com]

Well... this might be tricky but.

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

That's going to be so freaking bad ass!

[still-strike.livejournal.com]

I am usually pretty good at this, but I'm busy, SO

Prowl - "Still Strike" should be the name, and it should represent a perfect union of nature and technology, a balance between the two.
Mare - cannot decide on name. either Glorious Dawn or Only Revolutions, and have a wind-water motif; it should also faintly echo Starscream and have design influences from Squall's weapons.

Aaron (yarly) - Green Destiny. PLANTS N LEAVES and some influences of both Art Noveau and Gothic architechture. For a second keyblade (shutup he's an NPC he can have as many as he likes), Glass Future - green and violet stained glass.
Solaris - Spear of Sekhemet - it should be VERY LARGE and more like a halberd than a traditional keyblade; sun and desert influenced designs.

...

and if you like for the hell of it I would love one based on Cyrus that... uh... idk if there's anyone left in the game who had proper CR with her to take it :( but it'd be Eternal Revolutions, and... blue n swirly.

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'm gonna have fun with these!

[assbelts]

D'awww, Mare. ♥

Just for reference, Squall's current gunblade looks like this. Or this, if you want to see the size in comparison to him. (Or this, if you want a really pretty picture.)

[doorwasopen]

Fffff I was thinking, Aya should get something that looks strikingly similar to the gunblade in PE2, just so that Squall can wtf about it afterwards. And why not just throw in Eve's teddy bear as the keychain.

[stupiddaredevil.livejournal.com]

NATHAN - something bloody and doctor-related with the GENECO symbol as a keychain

GIYGAS - if you know what it is, something based off of the Devil's Machine... with a black music note as a keychain

WRECK-GAR - you know what it is. 8| redesign this motherfucker

OPTIONAL: KERGAN - sunflowers. all over the place.


TAKE YOUR TIME BTW

[notahumblebee.livejournal.com]

Scratch that last one, cause I'm done with the sketch! (http://flyonpaperwings.com/fuckfuckfuck/keyblades/alba.jpg) 8D

[liebe_krieg]

The Major's would be... nasty-looking. Red and black. Full of points and flamelike designs. The hilt would be in the shape of a swastika, I know that much!

Also, these are all amazing.

[crawfordsands.livejournal.com]

*salutes* Consider it done.

And thank you!
