Hey everyone!
Been a long time I know, and a lot of drawing has been happening, and I thought it was darn near time to update for you guys.
Although a lot of original work is being done, I'm giving you a fanart post as it's the most cohesive of the bunch.
So, for the majority of my time lately I've been messing around with a group of Kingdom Hearts related drawings (one of my favorite games, so no big surprise, right?). After some time messing around, I started putting together an RP to play
with some of my friends (still in the works, I'll tell you how it
goes). I began by creating worlds, some actual Disney, but also some original.
Like Cherry Tree Lane here. Base off of Disney's Mary Poppins. But I'm having fun creating a bunch too!
Like "Silver Screen Studios" where everything is Black and White and Sound is a foreign concept.
And of course, Briar Manor makes it's appearance as well, in one of my most successful attempts at the world construction that the game shows (I love those little things bobbing up and down on the maps!)
Along with these is a few attempts at keyblades as well. One was an instant success, and I'm still messing around with others.
Talespin! Who didn't want to fly around the skies of Cape Suzette fighting Don Karnage and his air pirates in the Iron Vulture??? Right? RIGHT?? This keyblade was drawn up at a convention late on night and I was instantly pleased with it. Still am.
Then there's Chim Chimney and Jolly Holiday created recently for Cherry Tree Lane. This pair would be a different sort of weapon achievement, meaning if it were in game, you would only be able to own one.
Then came the biggest one. The "Stations of Awakening" that are played through at the beginning of every game.
I started off by taking an image of one of the existing "Stations" (Snow White's to be exact) and in Illustrator, I outlined each section, starting with the largest circle inwards (getting some of these to line up was not fun). Then in Photoshop, I found a base color and just took sections of the inked image and adjusted their saturation. This makes my base. But I need a subject.
For those, as separate files, I inked Rose Marie from my Briar Manor, and many little images to fill the smaller circles. In Photoshop I put them into the existing template, and applied the same coloring method. Then came the "Stained Glass" look, I made a "clouds" layer, and motion blurred it, and set it as a multiplied layer over the colors.
The results:
And another for a Venice world:
Yep. Well, that's about the limit of the drawn work I've done for this. See you all later!
Wow, I love those keyblade designs! Very creative and appealing to the eye.
