Description mwahahaha! I have finally dug this out from beneath the many folders I have on my hard drive! Yesh, this is my precious baby! I worked three months on this picture last winter. (mostly cuz I had things to do and I tended to lose inspiration and when that happens I rather not touch my pics else I'll ruin them. T-T) It is the cover image for the doujinshi I drew for Athena's popular Digimon fanfic, "Darkness Bloom", click here--> [link]
Tis a kickass fanfic. It's actually the sequel to her other wildly popular fanfic, "Donkey Madness" click here please--> [link]
If you love Ken or the Kaiser, then I definately recommend both fanfics for you since it's rather Ken n Kaiser heavy.
Oh and if ya like Osamu, then definately check this one out.


Originally it was just Ken holding a spooky flower when I drew this, but then inspiration struck me with a two by four and I began drawing all the important characters into the background. ^^ Only three of them here are original characters, tho you'll be hard pressed to identify two of them. ^^ and no it's not the one in the hood. (that one's actually someone back from the dead....ohohoho...)
I put this up on Mediaminer back then and got some good advice on how to fix it. Unfortunately I couldn't remember all of the advice but I did follow the ones that I could remember. like trying to make the flower less flat?? I think it was... what's also new is the text. I had left it sorta bare at the top cuz i wanted to put the title there eventually. And now I finally did, tho I'm not too happy with the text. *sighs* Well, I wanted it to be sorta noticeable...>_>;;

Well, I hope ya guys like it. This one shall always hold a special place in my heart (since its' my first fanfic-based art). Not to mention my first serious photoshop composition. Aw...the memories. Anyhoo, hope ya like! and if you're curious, definately read those fanfics. ^_^

Yeah i think Osamu should have a great role into the Digimon 02 Story the fact that he was killed could of either been all staged up to befooled the enemy and the digi destined or that he did died and was resurrected in the Digital World either way i also had my share of Peanut Butter thinking of what to make of Osamu...and WTF did he and Ryou had between them in the past that he just ditched him when he kicked the bucket and went straight to Ken to rape him XD

This is awesome! I love the emotion and detail you put into this, and I would really like to read the stories that inspired them. Unfoutunatly, the links you provided no longer work. I was able to find Donkey Madness through an internet search, but I can't seem to find darkness bloom. Any chance you still know where to find it? I'd really appreciate any help you can give; the first story was wonderful!

This is very excellent I was never a fan of digimon, but I couldn't help having a look at this picture ^_^ The different expressions of the people in the background are beautiful. This is a wonderful piece ^^ Good job!

Wow, it's beautiful! I've read her Donkey madness, but I think she deleted the sequel, cause both links are inactive and there's no sequel on her profile. Donkey madness doesn't seem to be complete yet, and she hasn't updated for 2 years. I hope she starts to write again...

You know, only one year after I submitted my first comment I notice that I never wrote about my suspicion that the guy with the cloak is Osamu while the shadow in front of the portal-like thing is Ryo...are they? And Gennai is the top right corner, right?

Delightfully spooky. The eyes are awesome. It reminds me of the Dark Spores and Dark Flowers, and also the DigiMetal of Kindness resembles a pink bloom just like that.

*falls over the keyboard* adsfasjlmgha IS THAT JOU-SEMPAI?!?!! *fangirls* Total love. (The only thing that could make this better is if Mimi was in it, but omigosh PERFECTION.)

jbramx2 In reply to mippa [2007-02-15 18:26:58 +0000 UTC]

lol! Yes, I think this is the best Jou I've done. I was quite happy with his hair. Yeah, hm, Mimi, I don't think she shows up this fanfic. Otherwise I'd try to get her in here.

mippa In reply to jbramx2 [2007-02-15 20:33:09 +0000 UTC]

I had a feeling that might have been it. T.T I like 02, but they totally shafted my favorite character, so it kinda loses points in that department.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

jbramx2 In reply to mippa [2007-02-16 05:55:58 +0000 UTC]

kk...yup. And even Jou showed up less. Cuz his voiceactor was expensive or something.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mippa In reply to jbramx2 [2007-02-16 08:43:36 +0000 UTC]

ooh don't go into seiyuu...Jou is WAY expensive, other than Taichi, Hikari, and Agumon, plus some villians, everyone else was a NOBODY. (And most still are pretty small name except for Tentomon-who is Cloud Strife and the delish Fakir from Princess Tutu-and Ken, aka Ed Elric and Oosaki Nana.)

But NO EXCUSE for Mimi!

Oh. And Sora is famous too. (Pinoco from Black Jack!!! XD)

But yeah. Jou is definitely the biggest name of the cast. *fangirls*

Wow. That picture is absolutely gorgeous. I love ken, and the Kaizer in the background. And Jyou looks great. This is definately being added to my favorites.

BTW, do you happen to have a current link to that story and it's prequel? Or, if not, do you at least have a saved copy you could send me? I'd really, REALLY appreciate it.

Once again, fantastic picture!

aww! ;o; Thank you so much! Sorry it took me so long to respond...But yesh! thank you so much! I'm happy you noticed them all individually (especially Jyou who I really love in this picture too). Uh...link...hm, well it seems the author has deleted the story...I'm sorry to report... But if you're interested in the prequel (or the story that Darkness Bloom's a sequel to) here's Donkey Madness , another old time favorite of mine.
