Description
Yup! I have a serious talent for coming up with boring titles for my pictures! Anyway, I spent several agonizing hours on this one. The perspective isn't perfect, but it is the best I could get it. This picture was nearly my bane, I spent so much time on it! Maybe a little too much time... methinks I overdid the lighting...
It stil turned out nice, though, and it's definitely the most work I've put into my drawings! I wanted to draw Ienzo from KH: Birth by Sleep for some reason, so I sketched the character on an impulse. (I liked the character design for some reason.) I thought that my rough sketch turned out nice so I added the background and then lightboxed it on to marker paper and colored it with my copics. Also, high fives to the hardcore KH vets out there who know where this is! (It is a place in one of the games, see if you can guess!) I actually turned on the game so I could reference all the details for the background! Haha. Yeah, I went all out on this one. The coloring was what took the longest, I used over 70 colors of my markers! I think that's a personal record for me... Hehe, well, sorry for the long description here! I'll stop ranting now! 
Haha.P.S.- Special thanks goes to HenaMoon for advice on the background and also to ShangXiang6 (hope I spelled her user name right) for encouraging me to work my lighting techniques!
Thanks you guys! Kingdom Hearts (c) Disney and Square Enix

Aw, he's so beautiful...and I like how the "memory" technique is enhanced by the bright sunlight, implying a sort of nostalgia.

Glad you noticed the lighting! It took me so long to get it right in the picture. I drove myself to near-madness over it... But, the result was rewarding, so that's good!

While I'm sure the picture is very nice, you might want to adjust the viewing size. I want to take a better look but... Not that close.

Oh, did the view size come up wierd on your computer? I can't get my pictures so resize right, (my scanner is awful) and the quality and size always turns out strange! I'm so sorry! I'm hopefully getting better photo-editing software for Christmas. I'm so sorry that the view size is wierd!

It's no problem! Computers and sites can get weird sometimes.

Yeah, also, I stink at digital editing and whatnot. (Also partially credited to bad softaware. Blech.) Maybe I should adjust the full view settings?

It might help? I'm by no means an expert on DA fiddling. |D; I wish I could be of more help.

It's okay, I'll figure it out sometime!

Nice!
Maan, it's been ages since I played KH1. Even though I told myself I wouldn't, I sooo want to replay it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then you should replay it! There is no shame in enjoying a game where Mickey Mouse kicks butt anime style!

The reason I don't want to play it again is because it's so hard o__o And to be honest, I liked Days the best out of all of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, Days was great! (And seriously, how could a game that lets you play as Zexion not be awesome?) The first one is easily one of the hardest because the environments are far less linear than in the other games and because of the platforming element. I don't blame you for not wanting to go through the Monstro level again... it was madening AND somewhat disgusting...

The battles were also quite difficult and frustrating. In the beginning of the game, Sora is so hard to control, compared with Roxas and Ven.

Yeah, it is a very challenging game. I think the worst part was the lift stop in Hollow Bastion.

It was kind of confusing

hollow bastion/radiant garden, inside Ansem's castle.the libarey.I LOVE THIS!!!!*dies of ienzo fangirlism*

Correct! Probably one of my favorite places in the series along with Traverse Town.

I don't have BBS, but I know this is Hollow Bastion's library! <3
You're very welcome, sweetie, it's a pleasure to help you, I think you're very good artist, your draws always draw my attention, and the light is not bad

Thanks! And awesome that you know where the setting is! It's good to see more people have played KH1. Most people that I have meet have never played it and started at KH2.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome
Yeah a friend of mine started at KH2 (this happened 2 years ago) and stayed at Timeless River, it wasn't his type of game; I just don't have BBS, 382/5 days - or something like that - and I only have CoM on my computer, and it's my brother who plays it, I can't figure how to play with cards
You're very welcome, and same here too, I always want to hear from my friends too

Oh, if you were to ever get only one, I'd recommend Birth by Sleep. 358/2 Days has a lovely story and characters, but the gameplay is repetitive.

I don't know, PSP isn't my favourite game console, the story may be ok, but the graphics are kinda lame 
Those kinda games are very cool because they have a decent story, nowadays those games for PS3 just have good graphics, the background story and the creativity are low --'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I know what you mean. The psp analog stick is really stiff and annoying to use. As for the graphics, I thought they looked the same as the ps2 ones in Birth by Sleep. 358/2 Day's graphics were kinda bad, but it was the best they could do since it was on a small cartridge. I'm totally looking foreward to a ps3 KH also! I totally agree with you that there are too many games these days that lack creativity. Also, it seems like all that sony wants to do with the ps3 is copy the wii.

Hehehe don't apologize

Yeah, I am kinda confused as to the point of the 3DS KH. It seems like it will unecessarily convolute the story.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it is, Nomura is my favourite "artist", if it's right to say this, I like most of his characters, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 7 have very good characters, especially Aerith from FF7 
I don't know, I just heard it has Riku and Sora on the game, don't know if it's before the first Kingdom Hearts game, I think they have 4-5 years old on that one, don't know yet
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My theories as to the setting of KH 3D are:
a.in some wierd time warp (because they are in their KH1 outfits meaning that they are 14-15 years old in the game)
b.a parallel dimension (like Zelda: Majora's Mask)
or c.in the virutal world that we see in KH: coded
On another topic, I love how Nomura draws the eyes too! Oh, and Aerith is totally awesome! She is very calm and lovely, I found her personality somewhat reminiscent Princess Zelda in Twilight Princess. The design they used for Aertith in Advent Children and KH2 is awesome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't know yet about that
YES, she's my favourite character, so beautiful and nice, her outfit on KH2 is awesome, it's so pretty! X3 I have to draw her more, she's so wonderful, too bad she got killed on FF7 -_-'

Yeah, it seems like all the awesome people in video games suffer terrible fates.

You too? My favourite characters always die, at least some TT~TT
