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.

If you included anyother person I think it should have been Rikku's nobody, since Roxas was Sora's nobody. It just makes the most sense to me. =/ But I really do like it, Sora looks different for some reason though. O.o I don't know why though. Keep up the good work.

That's Xehanort's Heartless... which I guess you could twist it to be his nobody, but is more of Riku's personal manifestation of the darkness in his heart (in CoM and KHII, anyway, since the real one was defeated by Sora).

Amazing, this is really incredible. I love your choice for the background, it really turned out great. I really hope that they release the new version of KH2 in the US also, but I doubt they will, since they've never done that with any other game. And I didn't know that they're remaking KH:CoM for PS2! Is that official, or just a rumor?

This is gorgeous. I really love your coloring style; it's very bright, but very soft.
I do think Riku came out the best; it looks to me like Roxas's hair is swept a little too much to that side, and the front of Sora's isn't chunky enough. XD He seems to be missing some hair... >>;
Otherwise, though, this is very, very beautiful, and the expressions give me a big fangirly smile. <3 (Like that.) I adore Riku's eyes.
I hope they bring the Final Mix II and Re:CoM here too. *_* I also want them to bring us Final Mix I finally, but that's probably just wishful thinking... >_>;

The colouring style that you've used on this works really well with the entire piece, and you didn't fall short by any means on the background. I think that settling on this one than the others you mentioned was a good idea, considering that the background really complements the characters.
