The VKR Stuff from my Sketchbook! From oldest to newest!

Whole page I did I think on a plane or something. The drawing of Kaname and Zero holding each others’ faces is based on the chapter art for ch.98 of the OG series. And an old Headmistress Emi design.

A sadly looking off Part 2 Zero

Part 3 Zero sketches ft. The origin of this art

Wholeass Kaname drawing attempts page complete w Gee refs (I got a bit of a crush on Gee from using him as reference but tbh who hasn’t >~<)

Emi sketches ft. Post-series headmistress Emi based on Cybersix and Templar Armor/Citizen insane Emi. Mainly just my excuse to draw Emi covered in blood

And finally sketches I plan to turn digital, ft. A Kaname silhouette thing w his longcoat. Maybe best Kaname I’ve drawn so far prob lol

Some art of post-series Yuki/very dead ghost-ish reaper (we think) Yuki who is rightfully kind of bitchy about her life ending the way it did and people not grieving her much and no one saving her and

She appears in Emis dreams. Emi thinks she’s kinda hot tbh

Mainly just posting this cuz I thought it looked good

Meme time

Some part 2 Yukis. Rambling about OG Yuki and Rewrite Yuki under the cut.

I’d planned to make her a tragic antagonist ever since I began writing the rewrite, due to the hatred of her character. However I realized I never really had a problem with the original Yuki, other than any time she had an opportunity to be a badass that’d instantly be negated. Later on I’d realized the OG Yuki Cross was in fact a victim that came into her own, who’d she’d never asked for anything but to be with her family and weird brother grandpa husband ew.

I aimed to make Yuki in the rewrite much more competent a character, and strictly regulated to Zero’s adoptive sister and Kaname’s final descent/granddaughter. With writing her she went to default happy character that turned evil because if brainwashing to a woman relegated to simply being a teacher by her adopted father and caretaker of her two adopted brothers, while also having her actual past kept from her at every moment. I constantly have “YUKI IS DEFINITELY OKAY” jokes when you know that’d very much be the opposite.

I actually have grown to really love writing her as the one much more mature sibling out of the Cross-Kiryu children, and it’s very clear this woman knows a lot more than everyone assumes. Plus the plot actually allows her to shank people with her scythe (renamed Artemisia).

While she loves her family deep down she aims to get an actual job and find her past no matter how much Kaname attempts to keep stuff from her. Which pisses her off. Eventually she’s stuck believes Zero murdered her own adoptive father and half a school when that was in fact Ichiru, and were leave part 1 at that.

I’d say in Part 2 and times between Ichiru brainwashed/groomed (non sexually Ichiru’s awful but even he’s disgusted by the idea of that) her into becoming reliant on him—by doing sets like holding the fact Kaname never told her anything above her head. Not just because of that but the fact he was capable of telling her say any time but didn’t, and cut off, killed or imprisoned anyone that could help Yuki. But there’s also an element of Yuki letting this happen.

Deep down she knows Ichiru is off. But for the first time in her life she gets illusions of control of her life and other things, and she’ll seize it. Even if it is a lie. And then there’s parts where it’s possible she’s even aware of what’s going on, and is spiting everyone by covertly goading on how they could have saved her.

Why’d she kill Zero in the end? She didn’t mean to. Cycle of revenge, tragic reoccurrence, all that. But in the end, because of that, Kaname breaks after witnessing someone he grew to love, Ichiru in some fashion wins because Zero dies knowing his own adoptive sister killed him, when all he wanted was her to confide in.

Even if she isn’t there anymore.

I wanted your touch to save me

Part 2 of OC Lore baybeee and Part 2 of VKR but really really really fast so the writing looks kinda bad :P

I’m sorry some parts are really fast this was intended for TikTok but I lost here and there

Alignment charts because that’s one of my many mini hyperfixations of sorting characters

(My friend Kate drew Aido + Souen twins + part 1 Ichiru sketch I miss her)
