Description "There was a time I did want you around. I surrendered my heart to the dark. But never again. You and your darkness have nothing to offer. All I did was lose myself... Empty myself! I'm finished with all that. If I'm stuck seeing people like you, people of the dark... I'll take you out one by one." - Riku

The first drawing of Kingdom hearts I Riku that I can recall ever doing. I really like how it turned out. Though I know his face isnt so round or cutesy like I drew it, but ah well thats how I wanted to do it. Also sorry there is not a background to go with it. I might do it later, but as for the moment I need to let my hand rest ^-^;

I did this in colored pencil, took me quite a while and now my hand aches. But it was worth it. I love the way it turned out. This is one of my favorite drawings of Riku that I've done yet. I love the defiant, fierce look he has like nothing can stand in his way of helping his friends.

Done in: Colored pencil

Rawr! His expression is so priceless ^-^
My favorite part is definitely the Heartless peeking from under his feet in his shadow, though.

Yeah I loved drawing his face, it was one of my favorite things about this piece of work. The Heartless I added in when I started to color his shadow, I thought it was a good idea. I'm glad you like it ^^

It's definitely a very good idea! :3 And I have a very soft spot for Shadow Heartless, so that helps too, haha ^-^

Oh my dear gosh,
do you have any idea how cute this is?
And the heartless in his feet's shadow.
You horrible, you, make me just want to
A-T-T-A-C-K a Riku cosplayer. God, hes SO cute. <333
And actually, playing game one I cant help but notice he does have as much "Baby fat" in his face as Sora even though his face is still narrow. But its still really sutesty I think; hes such a pretty boy X3
I love!!! how you did his yes too, with the green at the bottom rim

Soramunesanzun In reply to Skialdi [2009-12-13 03:56:02 +0000 UTC]
