Traditional Art First of all, my finished KH related art

By the looks of it you can post a thread for everytime you have an update of art, rather than a single thread for all of your art. So I'll start with that this site is all about, Kingdom Hearts. ;3

Oldest first.... Click the links to see fullsize, I don't know what the image size limit is here so I just shrink for preview purpose. :>

Monkey buisness

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Monkey-buisness-KH2-42671266

This is my first finished KH art, any other were only scribbles. It was coloured on a simple sketch paper with colour pencils, so that's why there's bulges someplaces - I have a bad habbit of relying on sketch paper too much.. And this was also before I played the first game so I didn't even know they did a Trinity move then! XD Disney characters are harder to draw than I first thought, but there's not enough fanart of them out there.

Roxas and friends comic

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Roxas-and-friends-comic-KH2-44621279

And this... started like most of my comic like art starts with - random thought of stupidity. The whole reason for this one was just to see Roxas immitating a dusk nobody. :3 It was first drawn on a sketch paper with normal pencils, scanned in only black and white (another bad habit of mine is to rarely clean up the lineart, especially with ink/pen) and then just coloured quickly on PaintShopPro7. I realized my mistake too late when I have saved it unknowingly as a jpg file during the progress... Meh.

Christmas with Sora and Jack Skellington

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Christmas-with-Sora-n-Jack-06-44949546

As you may have noticed, this is my first real KH picture, it's really big.. The size on DA is honestly the smallest size I could allow myself to make. I really love to go to Hallowentown, and imagine what it would be like if Sora and co actually celebrated Christmas in that world, and if Jack actually got to be.... Santa Claus. X3 I spent a while on the lineart (again, sketch paper), but I had a time limit to colour it all since the next day I had to leave and not have any access to the internet.. This is coloured in Corel Painter IX, it's the program I mostly rely on for colouring since it immitated traditional tools quite well.

Sora vs Xigbar - the outcome

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Sora-vs-Xigbar-the-outcome-48802166

Well, yeah.. This happened to me all the time. X3 Yet Xigbar is among my favourite characters. I got more angry at Demyx but that is another story... I had this idea in my mind ever since I (finally) defeated him, and drew it months later. Like with the other comic, coloured with PSP7 for simplicity but only in greytones this time. I kinda like this comic, heh.

On the Interceptor

link:http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/On-the-Interceptor-KH2-50796922

My second big project, sort of speak. I also love to visit the Port Royal world, Sora and pirates just doesn't match sometimes. X3 (he always ends up captured, hehe) It was a real struggle to sketch it, especially Jack's pose had me redrawing him a lot. This is a combination with traditional and digital tools, the ocean/sky/Isla de Muerta background were painted with watercolours, the rest is coloured in Painter IX. A friend recommended that I colour and shade on the same layer, so this picture turned out as an improvement of my digital colouring.

Chilling Roxas

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Chilling-Roxas-new-ID-51087727

This drawing turned out to be one of my most successful drawings ever.. I just drew without really thinking. Starting at 3AM. To try to improve myself I often draw with ballpoint pen only to try to limit my common mistakes, this was one of those times. It was meant to be only headshot practices but it ended up as you can see here. Liked it so much that I decided to colour it and use it as an ID on DA. ^^

Irony of Chaste

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Irony-of-Chaste-KH2-entry-54153148

Stupid title? Of course it is. This was an entry to a contest held by a DA member (musical challenge), and the theme I went with is a battle theme from Guilty Gear Isuka. I wanted something dramatic so I went for Roxas batteling Axel in the fake Twilight Town. This is all traditionally done save for the text which the contest required, with various watercolour equipment. I even used olive oil, lol. The contest has ended now and I got 3rd place, yay! X3 The original painting has been sent to the contest holder.

Organisation Waha

link: http://cocohints.deviantart.com/art/Organisation-Waha-58794442

Another random stupidity thing that started sometime during Christmas on MSPaint.. I drew the chibis there and then after some people requesting it had it coloured on Painter IX. The Waha part is just some internet humour.. X3 I wanted the expressions of eyes, mouth, pose etc repeat itself but still be combined dirrerently. I didn't clean up the lineart though, you may spot that.


That's it for now - should you have any suggestions of what to have in mind the next time I draw something then by all means please tell. Or even if you have a suggestion of what to draw next! If I like it I may draw it... ;3 Can't promise it though.

Also, if the previews are too much I'll remove them and leave only the links. I don't know how much images are allowed in an art thread, sorry if I have missed any rules.

 

I adore your use of colour. :'D They all looks so.. vibrant!

 

Wow, I was expecting some ****ty crap but I love it. I think the first one is amazing, loooove the colours. I take it you've been in art for a while.

 

Wonderful! I especially love the colors on the POTC one, the dark feel to it is really nice ~...But they're all really awesome, keep it up ^^.

 

I also expected a ****ty art but wow!
I just love the Organization XIII one,chibis are fun to draw.
Also the roxas one is perfect.

 

Thanks, I appreciate your oppinions. :3

XD Oh wow, that gave a smile on my face..

About my art history, I started drawing for reals about the age of 15..? Then the W.I.T.C.H comic came to Norway and I was pretty interested in the "new" style it had since we didn't have mangas published here yet. That's when I decided I wanted to work with art and took the Arts and Crafts line at what is concidered high school I think - I have learned a lot from the school, especially concerning traditional tools and how to colour. But at the same time I probably wouldn't have gone this far had it not been for the many artists that has inspirered and helpes me with suggestions on the internet, especially when there's tutorials. I am forever grateful for that. :) Though I still have a lot to learn.

I hope this was what you wanted to know.

 

HOLY SH-

<>

Wow, you and SA...

*Steals talent and runs off with it*

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the use of color. The Roxas one is my favorite because of the proportions and the use of light and color :3

Rep for joo ^^

 

Wow these are all absolutely amazing, I just love the colors. By the way, do you have a DeviantArt ? The link to mine is in my sig.

 

AMAZING.
i cant believe you painted the background on the POTC one with watercolors! you should post a tut :D

 

<3<3<3

See, feedback like that is the reason I keep drawing. :3 Once again, I really appreciate it.

Oh noes! *sits in the corner pouting*
The Roxas one sitting on the tower is one of my personal favoutires too, I'm glad you like it. :>

Sure do! Should I be inactive in forums I will always be around DeviantArt - I'm on just about everyday there, the best way to contact me would be there. That is sort of my "main base" of the internet, hehe.

Heh, thanks - it's something I learned at school and the tutorial books there, I've started to buy some books at bookstores to learn new techniques. :3 I don't have a tutorial on how to use watercolours, but I made a tut of how I made an acrylic painting of Dark Jak (from Jak 2: Renegade) though it's more of a walkthrough than anything. I'll add the links here if you want to take a look at how I work.

Oh wow, that's amazing! The first comic with Roxas is funneh. xD

Dude, all I can say is that your art is rad. Keep it up, man, cause you're going to total up a huge number of fans pretty soon who will keep begging you to continue if you dont.
