Description
IN WHICH I TOTALLY TRY TO IMITATE NOMURA'S ART STYLE.Tools: OpenCanvas 4 art program, and Wacom Tablet (Model ET-0405A-U)
There were a lot of things I wanted to do with this picture, but in the end I only had Sora, Roxas, and Riku.
I also tried a lot of backgrounds (lots of sky and clouds, blah), but in the end I tried making it look like the weird area in the end of the game (when you have the last battle). Still, there is a lot of room for improvement... and as a friend said, "grayscale makes me think they're lost in a cold forest - OMG 1 BLANKET" XD;
I think I like how Riku turned out best. He was the first one I finished coloring, too. ...oh Crud, I forgot the hood-tassles. o_O To be edited in later. (!)
Thank you to those who gave me advice as I worked on this!
Also... if you haven't heard....
I can't wait for Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ and Re:Chain of Memories [<---link]!! New cutscenes, and fights, and enemies... and then a whole remake of KH: Chain of Memories for PS2? Oh joy! Out in Japan, spring of 2007, and I SINCERELY hope that we get it in the US too. People are trying to contact Squeenix [<--Link!] (via phone/email/snailmail) to say we support releasing the Final Mix in the US. That'd be excellent!
So excited.

Hi! ^w^ this looks really good, the background is nice too, it fits the mood of the picture =]
I was just wondering, well, I've been trying to revise how I shade things in colour, and I wanted to ask- how do you know where to put certain colours in a way where it doesn't look odd?
like for example, how there is light blue at sora's back, and Riku's palm has some orange in it..I don't really know how to do this properly, and my shading seems to look a bit boring..thanks! ^^

I've got a question for you. I noticed you're using the same Tablet I am. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to adjust the pen pressure, or any of the fancy things available with the new Tablets. I can't remember if I had software with the tablet. I know... a random question,..... but I have to know.

Yeah, you can totally adjust the pressure sensitivity. Just go to your Start --> Control Panel and look for the Wacom Tablet Properties.
If you don't see it, you might have to DL the Driver for the tablet first.... just plug in your tablet name into Google and "DL" "Driver" or some such.

Very nice detailings on this, although a rather simple picture, I like how you mixed simplicity with the details. And the colouring is so nice, I really like it!

I adore the simplistic background, it really emphasizes the characters. I also like the fact that you chose to draw Riku in his organization outfit. xD;
