Description
Hey, guess what ? I'm still working on this ! Yes indeed !!Just joking. ^^ My journal explained what was going on. This comic's the one I wish to finish as soon as possible so most of my attention goes to it as there's still so many to do. *sigh*
I'm not even sure you guys are still folowing this but i don't plan to give up on it so...
Enjoy and comment.
Lexicon :
Sagitta magica series obscurans : Translates as "magic arrows of darkness". Magic archery is basic offensive magic and exist in any elemental form. The one used here is the darkness variety. It should be noted that although this is a powerfull attack it is not quite as devastating as it's lightning and light counterpart.

Yeah, kinda. ^^
I've really taken a liking to drawing action scenes and so most of what's comming will be brawl, but with great variety so it stays interesting.

Wow. Yikes. This is a great comic! Hope you update soon!

Oho, new fan ? I saw you favourite the first page so I take it you've gone through the whole thing then.
Mind sparing a few words of opinion ? I really appreciate people's thoughts on my work.
Not to worry, I'm working on this one whenever I can.

Whenever I read a comic, I favorite the first page, so when others look through my favorites, it doesn't ruin a part of the story.
Your comic is great! It looks like an actual comic that I would buy in a store! I like that whenever you bring in a new character you introduce them with their side and their name.
One thing though... the names are pretty complicated sometimes, and they're all alike... I can't tell them all apart! Your doing the names just like Org. IIX (thirteen) right? (With the X mixed into their name)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I see, that makes sense. That's actually pretty clever.
Oh come now, it's not THAT good. ^^'
The naming-idea I actually got from the actual Kingdom Hearts CoM manga in which they also give each characters a lable so you know who they are without needing boring introduction speeches or so.
Yeah, that's kinda the problem with a lot of comics, especially those that have a lot of characters. Most of them are recognisable though. Crydius for example is my account name and Cyxdrius is 'Crydius' with an 'x'. And at least you can tell they're male or female and so see who it's about. But it is a bit complicated I guess.
Yeah, Organization Umbra is a DeviantArt group based on Org 13 and the comic is about the characters we created for it, hence, they're all Nobodies and all have X's in their names. The others are from the KH games themselves and some I made up myself or brought in from other games or comics or even TV shows. Usually the author's comment says where I got who from.

Thanks!
Yes it is! I wouldn't be able to do it as well as you, and it DOES look like a comic I would buy at a store! (Except, of course, the dots in spots of shading... but still!)
CoM? Sorry... I can't recall what that stands for... but, it's a manga. I've seen a few other comics that do that too. (Both on DeviantART and actual published mangas/comics) But you still had enough sense to use that way too! Tahat's good enough for a pat on the back.
Oh. There's a DeviantART group you based the characters off of? (I'm talking about the Umbra Orginization) Anyways... some of the names I can remember, it's just the names that don't pop up as often, and some faces get confused too (it's harder to tell the difference without colors as a reference as well...). Perhaps you could do a full-color picture of the Org. Umbra characters with the names... it could be useful to some. (that is... if you haven't yet and I missed it...) Could you tell me how many people are in Org. Umbra?

Oh well, if you say so.
Believe it or not, but if I print them out I actually do get that dot effect, just not as good as in the comics. No idea how they do that.
Chain of Memories. It's the one between KH and KH2. It's been only available in japanese until recently. Now they have an english version of the game too.
Yeah, in fact all the Umbra characters I use are in that group. I do ask permission from the owners before I do anything though. ^^
Yeah, I know. But I have to be carefull just how much I use someone else's character. Eventually things micht look a bit like stealing. Don't want people to think that. All Umbra Nobodies have a character sheet of some sort though and can all be found in the group. Also, on every page where I introduce a new Nobody I put their owner in the author's comment and on their page you can always find the original, mostly in color as well.
I do have a cover(first version) for my comic on which some of them are colored, you can find it in my gallery, in the files 'Kingdom Hearts' and 'Organization Umbra'.
Good question, quite a lot, but some just submit a character and then we never hear from them again, and so we decided not to count them or their Nobodies as actual members. But I believe we have about 20-25 members and more then 30 Nobodies. (as one member can create up to 3 Nobodies). Which of them we really count, I don't know. If they're in my comic they usually are though.

The dot effect is added to comics in shaded areas (I think, but I'm pretty sure (some of this I'm guessing, but like I said, I'm pretty sure>)) so you would just have to do regular shading, then when you give them to the publisher, I think they do something, so that (on each copy) the first layer is the lines, then the next layer is the shading (dots). On some comics, I've seen people not do the dots, but do actual shading... hm... but it more cost efficant (sorry for my spelling!) and it still does the same effect...
Chain of Memories... I know which one that is. I couldn't think at the time. All I needed was the name and *DING* I know what you're talking about. (Oh, and I know they have the english version... I've played it) (*CANADIAN!* 
I'll have to look for those pictures... hm. (I didn't exactly go looking for them... |P)
So... Nobodies that have feelings are more common then regular nobodies without feelings? I thought they were supposed to be UNCOMMON... bah.
P.S.
These replies/comments are just getting LONGER and LONGER...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you put it that way it actually makes a lot of sense...
I don't know how professional comic-drawers do it, but you could be right. I color my pictures on the computer though, same goes for the shading. And so the dot effect is kinda lost.
NO ?! really ? I've been wanting to play it ever since I found out there was an english version, but I never got my hands on one. Simply the fact that you get to fight Larxene and Zexion makes the game more awesome than the others. ^^
Lucky you...
Yeah you'll have to do a bit of effort... ^^'
Ah, that's the tricky thing about the Umbras. They're Nobodies that still have a little connection to their hearts and still, even though not completely, exist, unlike real Nobodies. And they certainly aren't more common. But because they still have that connection they keep their appearance from their previous lives, unlike real Nobodies who can turn out as Dusks, Berserkers, Dragoons, you know, Lesser Nobodies. And there certainly are more of those than there are Umbras. Plus, despite that connection, their "feeling" is quite limited. They can still feel some emotions in some situations due to the weak connection but aside from that they just fake it like the normal Nobodies. The ones in Organization 13 are very powerfull Nobodies that have completely lost thier hearts but kept their appearances, as you know. Hence, Umbras are, in general, far weaker than them. Hell, we have people in Organization Umbra that can hardly take on a Dusk.
P.S. Reply
I KNOW RIGHT ?!

Somehow, publishers can do the dot effect... I'm pretty sure there's a program out their that can do that... I just don't know what to look for... |P
I don't actualy OWN a copy, I sort of borrowed it from a cousin... even so, not for very long, and I got to about the, like, the sixth day? I didn't get to far... but I still know what happens throughout the game by getting things about it from other peoplw, other sites, and my own knowledge.
Perhaps you can link the them to your comics. (Perhaps the first or second page... you don't have to do it through-out your comic)
How does someone lose only a part of their heart?
P.S. reply:
YEAH! I KNOW!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh well, I'm pretty satisfied with how things are now so I don't plan on trying to find something to do additional stuff. That'll probably be just harder on me and then my drawings will take even longer to make. ^^'
Sixth day ? you sure you're not confusing this with KH 2 ? Chain of Memories is the one where you fight using cards and it takes place in this huge white castle where you try to find Namine. In Kingdom hearts 2 you start off as Roxas and then you have to spend 7 days as him until Sora wakes up.
Just to be sure we're talking about the same one here.
Well... I COULD do that but that sounds as a bit of a hassle.
It's a lot of work to find the art of each individual character...
But I think the link to the cover I made is already on page 1.
They didn't, they lost it, but kept a connection with it, and occasionally draw emotion and strenght from it through this connection. Like a wireless internet connection or a cellphone. Hearts that are lost gather in darkness after all, to make Kingdom Hearts, so their hearts still exist.
Use your imagination, it's Kingdom Hearts after all, about everything's possible here.

You don't have to worry about that until you're sure that you want to do it. You can always go back and redo them if you ever want to.
Wait... what? Maybe I am confus--OH! Oopsy-daisies... hehehehe... I'm getting them confused with Kingdom Hearts 385/2 days... hehehehe... yeah, never mind, forget about that... yeah, Chain of Memories is when Namine lures Sora into the Castle and messes with his memories to forget Kairi (also Riku/clone Riku)... meh. I get things confused sometimes.
I THINK I've seen the cover... might have to check on that... it's full color, right?
Yeah, their hearts still exist, but I would think it would be tricky for Hearts to still be connected with someone's soul/body, but still be somewhere else... hm. This just reminds me of a story idea I had a while ago... yikes, the idea's are very similar (some-what).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, and like I said I'm cool with how everything is right now.
Yeah, I thought so. ^^
358/2 Days is a DS game though and CoM is a PS2 game. I have Days and I finished it and replayed it like 3 times now. It's so much fun.
Don't feel bad, they already have so many titles you have to be a Goddamn good fan (*cough* like myself *cough*) to know exactly what happens where.
Yeah it is, and it was a mistake on my part, page one didn't have a link to it. My bad. It had a link to page 1 but not the other way around. It does now though.
Tricky but possible. See, if you think about it it can make sense. ^^ (I mean, they get away with much more unlikely stuff... Terra becoming Xehanort, Roxas having ventus's heart and Xion's existence and whatnot. )
Really ? What was it about ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup! So you don't have to if you don't want to!
(*cough, cough* I'm a fan too *cough, cough*) I lOVE reading fanfiction stories on both DeviantART and Fanfiction.com... some people make amazing stories that fit really well into the story line...
Does it REALLY have a link now? Are you sure? Really, REALLY sure? (I haven't checked yet myself...)
Yeah, I know they do that stuff, but it's UNLIKELY! You keep saying it's more common then people loosing their WHOLE HEART...
The idea was that a girl had a locket she always kept with her. The locket contained her (mental) heart, and if she took it off, her body/soul (whatever) was made into a Nobody (a human looking one). The girl's name was Rachel, and her Nobody was named Xalchre. So, Heartless would aim for her necklace. It's sort of cool because when her friends wanted Rachel back, they could just give Xalchre her necklace and Rachel would come back... I'm pretty sure that would be how it would work... hm...

True that, if you're a fan you can't go without fanfiction. ^^
I agree, I've read some pretty impressive pieces as well, some that fit almost completely into the storyline and others that were... well, just plain ridiculous but let's not point our fingers shall we.
For example, I once saw a fanfic where they go to a world based on Resident Evil... It's was horrifying. O_O
Yes, page 1 now REALLY has a link to it. ^^'
No, that's not what I'm saying, it's quite rare. Umbra has about 30 to 40 members and they all look like their former selves because they still have that link to their hearts. When you completely lose your heart you can turn into lesser Nobodies : Dusks, Dragoons, Samurais and all (from KH 2), and there's hundreds, thousands of those ! Ever fought alongside Axel in the real Betwixt and Between or expored the Castle that Never Was in KH 2 ? They just keep coming !
Many of our members are, when it comes to power, not much better than them. Organization 13 are extremely powerfull Nobodies that had very strong hearts and wills, which is why they keep their former appearance and are much more powerfull than the lesser Nobodies and the Umbras.
I see... that's a pretty interesting way to look at it indeed. Very creative...
Sounds like that made a pretty interesting story.

A Crossover with Resident Evil?... never heard of it. (I mean the Resident Evil... thing.) I've read some really bad stories, but if you look right, you can easily find amazing stories...
Yay! So I've seen... finaly! |P
Don't start me on the Nobodies in Kingdom Hearts II! Okay... Nobodies that have completely lost their hearts are just... Nobodies... but one's that had a strong heart taken completely away become human Nobodies (as weird as that sounds...) so, are you saying it doesn't matter how strong a heart is, it only matters if the heart is still connected in some way to become a member of Org. Umbra? Is that what you're getting at?
I'm not done the story... and I started that story LOOOONG ago. I've sort of lost interest. I do that a LOT. I have all these story ideas, then I write them down and start them... then I lose interest and I never get very far.
P.S.
All these comments are sooooo big and taking up sooooo much space! This is more like a conversation then a comment and some replies... bah...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's this movie and videogame series where dead people get infected by something called the T-virus which turns them into zombies. -_-
Trust me, it was awefull.
Yeah, that's basically it. Though in order to keep that connection you'd need a pretty strong heart or at least a tie with a very strong emotion. Organization 13 had far stronger hearts though as they completely lost them and still remained human.
You could say that Namine is another example of this connection theory as she isn't a "real" Nobody either and she clearly has feelings unlike the Organization members. This is pure fanfiction of course but since I didn't find a real explanation for that in the games or the Wiki I argue that perhaps she's still connected to Kairi's heart, as Kairi regained her heart and is still alive.
Oh, I know that feeling. ^^'
But I somehow find a way to force myself to continue my ideas. ( which is why I have two comics running right now and a whole load of backgroundstories which I can't seem to find time for. |D )
P.S.
I actually do this quite a lot. many of the people that comment on my work like to have a good chat and we sometimes and up writing comments and replies for days or even weeks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It SOUNDS awful!
Yay! I FINALY understand what you're getting at!
Isn't Roxas still connected to Sora too?
I have an uncountable number of story ideas I started, but never finnished.
P.S. reply:
How long has this conversation been going on?
You REALLy know how to keep a conversation going...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, it was, believe me.
Huzzah !
Yeah, but in a much more comfusing way. Roxas looks like Ventus because Ventus's heart rests within Sora's heart (KH Birth by Sleep) and when he turned into a Heartless and came back because of kairi (KH1) Ventus's heart was released and found it's way into Sora's Nobody, making Roxas look like Ventus and not like Sora. But since Ven's and Sora's hearts are connected so are Roxas and Sora. That's why in 358/2 Days Roxas faints when namine starts working on Sora's memories and he grows weaker while Xion grows stronger the closer she gets to repairing him (KH 358/2 Days).
Like I said, the games themselves can be pretty damn confusing as well. |D
P.S. reply:
Let's see... you started on my KH DoW page 42 and that's at least over a week ago cause I finished page 43 4 days ago... So, more than a week !
It's a gift.

I can imagine... and I do believe you.
OH-YA! 
I know what happens and why, you don't have to explain... (sigh)
Kingdom Hearts is SOOOOO confusing if you don't have all the info... why do they do it so complicated?!
P.S. reply:
Yeah... guess you do have a gift...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just making sure everything I say is right. ^^
Well I personally think half the shit they make up as they go along. They look at their previous games, think about things that don't make sense or aren't explained and then find some kind of solution to it, no matter how far-fetched.
It's cheap, but it works.
P.S. reply:
It looks like we're nearing the end though ! The replies are becoming shorter and I think we've finished each topic !
Not that it wasn't nice talking with you or anything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps they knew that the idea would be a big success, so they made sure they had spots they could make other games to still fit the storyline without having to say, perhaps: "five years later" or other things that relate to the story being a little while later... that's SOOOOOO original.
But it could just be that.
No kidding...
P.S. reply:
YAY! I can spend less time replying to these long replies and read some more!
...not to say this wasn't fun. Heheh. This brought up some good memories and topics.
Thanks for the laughs!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed, if you look at it like that.
I guess in the end you can always make another videogame no matter how complicated things get.
P.S. final:
yup, it was a hell of a nice chat. ^^
No problem and thank you as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, no kidding. Kingdom Hearts is a HUGE and WELL-KNOWN videogame (and comic) so they will probably keep the games (and comics) coming. Then they get more $$$.
P.S. reply:
Yup. It was.
I was never good at saying goodbye or ending chats. Neither were my friends, so we kept GOING and GOING and GOING... you get the point.
Heh. You're welcome.
