Description This comment section will contain potential Birth by Sleep spoilers. Please don't read past the first paragraph if you want to stay clean of plot/character revelations (well, more hints than anything, but as a spoilerphobe myself I'm erring on the side of caution).

This is probably the simplest keyblade I've done in a long time! One of the easiest, too, but not everything can be super complicated. They aren't in game, after all. XD
It's straight from the mirrorverse: a redesign of young Xehanort's main 'blade. He's gone through that thing I gave him in his first pic, to Kingdom Key, to this...

Okay! Loading spoilers.

Riiiiight. So the idea with this was to create a fusion between Terra's and Master Xehanort's keyblades, given who our new Xehanort actually *is*, but simple enough that it'd stand with Kingdom Key and its likes. A beginner's key - something mininort can use as he finds his way back to working out who he was in the past. Loosely, Terra contributed the flat-panel tooth style, and the keychain was based on the apprentices' emblem; the colour of the main body of the key and the way it hooks over are courtesy of Master X. A bit of Kingdom Key seems to have snuck in there too. XD

This design is good... and refreshing. See, it's very, very simple, almost as simple as the Kingdom Key. I would have expected a Keyblade of Terra/Master X origins to be a over-the-top, but this is spectacular in its modestness.
Good job. I love your other Keyblade designs and wish you luck in your future work.

Thanks! Honestly, if I'd been doing a Terra/Master X key for any other reason, I'd probably have played up the darkness and ornate-ness a whole lot more than I did, but this was specifically for an AU where that wouldn't fit so much? As it is, I like the way this one came out...

Young Xehanort...have I missed something? Fill me in, someone. I hate being the last to know something.

Just an AU what-if thing I've been messing with for a while. That's all.

I like this keyblade more than usual. It's design is not only reflective of what it represents but also it looks practical apart from that. Some like the Little Mermaid one with a crab and stuff kind of bug me.

But this one is really cool.

PhoenixTrooper In reply to Doodlebotbop [2010-01-23 19:26:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yeah, I think I know what you mean - I've never been a fan of the 'let's just plonk a symbol on the end' school of keys, as a rule. Some of them work, but not all. And I tend to like ones that come out as practical as a giant key you can hit stuff with can be. XD Okay, some of my own designs don't quite fall into that category, but I like them when they do.

The only piece of KK I see is the grip/handle.

PhoenixTrooper In reply to Michael-777 [2010-01-22 00:04:51 +0000 UTC]

Heh, yeah - that and the plain-ish shaft/colours were all I meant by KK's influence. The rest is all the other two.

Thank you! ^^ Poor guy... I still don't know all the ins and outs of spoilers, but what happened to him was just about the first thing I looked up.

Your welcome. I know...it's so sad that, that happened. But Aqua and Ventus have some surprising things too
