Description So it’s just him, Axel, and the sky stretched before them when the memory hits him.

Don't even get me started on what happens when you fuse Spirited Away and Kingdom Hearts, because I will be completely inconsolable.

So, this summer I ran across an interesting project called Kingdom Hearts Big Bang, and I figured that since I didn't really have much else to do, I'd give it a shot. Basically, a group of fanfic authors and a group of artists were paired up, the artist doing an illustration for their partner writer. I was scrolling through the story summaries, ran across one for a Spirited Away fusion, and, well...here we are.

This is for the amazing Callunavulgari's story When the Wild Grasses Weave (archiveofourown.org/works/9807… (a quick note that this is a much heavier and darker take on the story, but an incredible read nonetheless.)) She was great to work with, and I am absolutely in love with her writing, all of it. Working on this piece has helped me improve so many things, and really test myself, and I can easily say that this is one of my favorite pieces to date.

Let it be known that drawing dragon-Axel made me giddy like the sap I actually am.

Wow, I just finished the fic you made this for and I just have to say, both the artwork you made and the story the author wrote blew me away! The story just pulled and twisted and stretched my heart so many different ways and your picture is breathtaking. I have to admit that my favorite parts of this are the background and the little sparks of flame swirling around Axel You deserve, like, the biggest pat on the back ever for this artwork!

Ahh, thank you so much! I agree, the story counterpart to this is absolutely incredible--she did such an amazing job with it. I'm so happy to hear that you like them! (Hehe, when I was finishing up the piece I just had to add the little flares around him, he looked so perfect when they were added)

I adore this! It fits so well with the story! And love this AU idea in general *Spazzing a bit because I've always wanted to do something like this but never can come up with anything*

Thank you very much!


Believe me, when I first saw that someone was doing a Spirited Away AU I practically had a heart attack. No joke, I woke up early on the day artists could claim their fics just so I'd be able to snag this one, hehe. I grew up with that movie and Kingdom Hearts is a huge part of my life right now, so it was SUPER fun to work on this. You should go for it too, if you come up with something!

Well maybe I'll think of something XD I am sort of inspired more by Howl's Moving castle at the moment XD But omg I read it again last night and I was like 'Wai you so awesome?!' And I don't blame you! If I had been a artist I would have been like 'I want it!' XD But again lovely job!
