Two (older) sketches I felt like sharing.
The left one (Coronation) is from June ‘16 and is part of an AU I work on from time to time. The right one (Betrayal) is pretty much a redraw, but in a different context. I drew that one in March this year.
Though they look very similar, they have a slightly different subject: Coronation is about outward-directed anger, about something that has happened / is still happening and could not be prevented. Betrayal on the other hand is about self-hatred. About an inward-directed anger that comes from allowing a person to get close enough to hurt one.
I like to see them both lined up next to each other, because it emphasizes the differences. Also, I think they complete each other.

Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 12: Promise
If I were to fall, would you save me?
This is supposed to be shortly after they joint the Organization. I guess Saix could feel that something was wrong and he was going to lose himself even back then.
Well, noone came for him, when he finally did.
AKUSAIMONTH: BERSERK Day 5: SET C - “Lyrics (Hearts A Mess)”
[ Pick apart the pieces of your heart Let me peer inside Let me in where only your thoughts have been Let me occupy your mind as you do mine ] [ Hearts A Mess - Gotye ]
“We shouldn't. Something about the castle isn't right, I can feel it.” “All the more reason to uncover what's going on! We need to know what it is, so we can protect town!” “Protect town? And how on earth are we going to do that?!” “We'll know once we know what's the problem in the first place!” “... Seriously, you're such an idiot.” “Aww, come on, Isa, I need you on this! I can't do it on my own!” “Then how about not doing it at all?” “Uh, no. Bad idea.” “... I really can't talk you out of it, can I.” “So you are helping me!” “You knew exactly that I would.” “Hehe. I just know I can count on you!”
I kept quiet about the way I felt, all this time. I was happy with being near you, with being your friend. I couldn't risk losing you. Yet as time moved on I realised that your presence filled up more and more of me. Whatever I did, whatever I thought, you were always a part of it. At the same time I felt so distant from you. I know that I kept things from you, things you could never know, but were you hiding things from me as well?

Everything's going to be alright, in one way or another. I promise.
Akusaimonth: Berserk Mode Day 21: Music & Lyrics
Die Welt steht still // The world stands still zwischen uns // between us Mach die Augen wieder auf // Open the eyes again Atme langsam wieder aus // Breath out again Die Welt steht still // The world stands still
[Die Welt steht still - Revolverheld]
"Die Welt steht still" is about two people who slowly drifted away from each other. They have changed over time and each of them has made a lot of mistakes which are now mounting up in between them and creating some sort of an invisible wall. He sings that he doesn't know whether it's too late to forgive all of that, to see each other anew, but he is willing to try it. It's all up to the other.
What really impressed my about this song is the video. It adds a complete new layer of meaning to it. You can see a woman who is pulled out of a river and people running her way trying to save / reanimate her. It was actually this life saving aspect that really caught my attention.
With the woman coming back around during the end of the video it is very clear how the story in the song is supposed to end, I rather wanted to show the uncertain state before the decision instead. I'm not sure myself though, whether this will be a "life saving" or a "going down together" story or something else completely.
AKUSAIMONTH 2015: BERSERK Day 14: SET C - “To Be Left”
It was no surprise when you left. When you betrayed me.
Everything I once believed in went away with you. All my schemes, all my plans.
The very last part of me that had still, foolishly, believed
was finally dead.

Xsuper. So that’s what it reads on the label, I couldn’t decipher it before.
Superbia is pride, the only sin we have left, so obviously the Master of Masters should have a name like that. So, I guess this could be seen as support for my theory that the box contains the master’s heartless, while also showing us where the idea of adding a X to the name of a Nobody may have come from.
The fact that it is labelled might also mean, that we will get to see the Master of Masters in KH3. Someone who knows who Xsuper is might open the box to kill the heartless and we will see the revival of the Master of Masters as a whole person. I guess that would make a pretty good plot point.
Also, is it just my impression or does the label make the box look even more like a coffin?
Di[e]ce Appreciation Week | Day 5: L_ST (L o st)
» I will destroy this world. «
One of the things I love the most about Di[e]ce is how much worse Haruki, who values life so much, who’s organized and caring, is able to deal with everything that happens, compared to Kazuki. Sure, Kazuki breaks down on several occasions, but he doesn’t fall.
The blood on Haruki’s hands just weighs so much more than that on Kazuki’s…
