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!

Art process pictures are posted on my Art Process Tumblr

For the art process video tune in to my Youtube Channel!

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)

TELL ME. KH. CUSS. WHO.

Dandelions:

Ephemer would not cuss. He knows the words, but doesn’t like them. Will ask others to watch their language around him.

Skuld probably wouldn’t cuss either. Knows the words, just doesn’t care.

Lauriam would not cuss. Would get annoyed/upset with people who cuss around kids specifically. Includes Ven and Strelitzia

Ventus wouldn’t cuss, he doesn’t even know most of the words if he knows any at all. He’d view cussing as something horrible for him to do and would immediately feel immense regret if he even thought one.

Brain would only cuss if he was incredibly stressed / had to get his point across and make the others listen.

Elrena feels like the kind to cuss occasionally, and tries to watch her language around those who don’t like it.

Strelitzia wouldn’t cuss either, she knows the words but knows it makes Lauriam unhappy so she doesn’t do it. Would very politely ask you to watch your language.

Groups:

Wayfinder:

Terra doesn’t cuss around those he respects/knows don’t like it, but he MIGHT, around others. Sometimes he slips up and says things Xehanort used to. He hates it when he does.

Aqua doesn’t cuss and would probably cover Ven’s ears and mouth at you to stop you if you cuss around him. The only time she DID cuss was in the Realm of Darkness, when she was alone.

Ventus knows the cuss words(only because of Vanitas), but still feels like cussing is Very Bad.

Clocktower:

Axel cusses all of the time. That’s it.

Roxas also cusses, but he doesn’t fully understand the ones like fuck or bitch. Knows they’re cuss words too, but doesn’t know about the other connotations. Only cusses because he was around Axel during his developmental period.

Xion doesn’t cuss as much, but you’d be able to catch her saying one or two occasionally. Will go wide-eyed and apologize if you ask her to watch her language, and will do her best to adjust accordingly. Slips up sometimes. Also doesn’t know the connotations to some, and also only cusses because she was around Axel and Roxas.

Island:

Sora doesn’t cuss. Has only heard words like ‘shit’ ‘goddammit’, somehow. Has a collection of off-brand cusses he’s picked up from his adventuring.(think; he replaces ‘god’ with Hades, Zeus, Hearts, etc)

Riku is the one who told cuss words to Sora and Kairi. Won’t share where he learned them, but did it as part of his ‘bad boy’ phase. Now only cusses if he’s stressed/panicked/hurt.

Kairi doesn’t like to cuss. Will try to get others to change their language if she hears it. Commonly argued with Axel while training with him over it.

Twilight Town:

Hayner doesn’t feel like the kind of person to cuss. No real reason. He might do it, but only to call an asshole an asshole.

Pence isn’t the kind. He’s sweet.

Olette, also, I don’t think she’d cuss either.

Nobodies:

Naminè cusses sometimes. Not much, but she doesn’t care about it.

Zexion cusses occasionally, but it throws off those who’ve known him since he was a child.

Marluxia gets pissy when people cuss around him. He’s gotten used to it, but he doesn’t like it. He doesn’t know why.

Larxene cusses all the time. They’re just part of her vocabulary. She holds her words around Marluxia, but doesn’t know why. If asked, she’ll retort ‘because I fucking wanted to, okay?’

Saïx doesn’t cuss. It’s just not part of his vocabulary. He doesn’t care if others do, though.

Xemnas only cusses to demean others. Only ever refers to other people when he cusses.

Vexen would only cuss if he’s pissed(when something he’s doing goes wrong).

Demyx is kind to cuss when he thinks it’s ‘funny’. Whether it’s actually funny is up for debate.

Xigbar would cuss just as part of his daily lexicon. He’d have some strange ones, old ones nobody else has heard before, but won’t explain where he heard them.

Others:

Vanitas likes corrupting others. He taught Ventus all of the cuss words. Tried to get him to use them, but Ven refused(“LAME! And here I thought you’d be fun >:/“)

Xehanort doesn’t care. He’ll use cuss words like any other words.

Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, tends not to cuss, but he willingly does so when he wants.

Ansem the Wise doesn’t cuss much — most of his apprentices started as kids/young men, after all, and he didn’t want them cussing.

Eraqus is the kind to hate cussing. Around him, nobody cusses.

Lea cusses around people that aren’t Isa. He knows his friend doesn’t like it, and will tell others off for it because Isa won’t.

Isa doesn’t like cussing. He won’t tell you to mind your language, but he doesn’t like it.

(Unrelated) so it turns out you can only have 30 tags! And I have over 30 characters here so I had to play with them a bit-

Short descriptions of the Dandelions KH character descriptions.

Ephemer

A young Keyblade wielder with unruly white hair and a red scarf. Ephemer is cheerful and converses freely with Ava. He helps Sora in a critical situation (lII).

Skuld

A young Keyblade user with black hair. Like Ephemer, Skuld serves as one of the Union leaders of the Dandelions. She has a serious nature, and it's been said she's similar to Ava.

Brain

Brain wears a hat and is one of the Union leaders of the Dandelions. He says that he will be the virus that overwrites the destiny of this world, which is on a path to destruction.

Lauriam

A person with a connection to Marluxia. Lauriam is one of the Union leaders of the Dandelions, and he's trying to find his younger sister, who disappeared.

Strelitiza

Lauriam's younger sister. After hearing about the Keyblade War from Ava, Strelitzia is appointed as a Union leader of the Dandelions, but someone attacks her, and she disappears.

Elrena

A person with a connection to Larxene. Since Eirena has interacted with Strelitzia a few times, Lauriam asks her about his sister.

Ventus

This is Ventus from long before he trained with Aqua and Terra. His hair is a little shorter. He's envious of people with friends because he's always been on his own.

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."
