khkairi12 38 Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) OH MY GOSH WAS THIS SO EXCITING TO PARTICIPATE IN!! YES ALL CAPS! I'm getting all giddy again thinking about everything kh! I can't believe it's almost the 15th year mark for Kingdom Hearts!!! Yay!!! I remember the first time I ever saw Kingdom Hearts was by the trailer for the first game. What actually caught my attention was the song playing in the trailer. Any guesses what song? That's right Utada's 'Simple and Clean'! It was so beautiful that I literally stopped what I was doing and whipped my head to the t.v. and what did I find? Flashing images of a game a cute boy with Disney characters, meeting Disney characters in Disney character worlds! Oh my gosh and the cute boy?! I literally zoned everything out for that 30 second commercial. That day I literally felt something in my heart stir. I can still feel and remember the sensation of my heart aching for this fantastic thing that gave off such heart, warmth, passion, light, hope of good. I think I actually teared a bit because I felt I would never have the chance to see it again. I didn't even get the name but I knew it had Disney characters. It wasn't until two years later that I received a ps2 and the first thing I did was go and get the game. When I finally had it in my hands all those emotions resurfaced and knew I was going to never let it go. I have since then played the game and the second one about 8 times each and never get tired of it. Everything I hoped it to be, ohhh, it was so much more.... my kh2 guide is actually falling apart. I believe half the weight is tape holding it all together from the use. The other reason being it probably wasn't a sturdy binding it needed for all those pages. I have collected, what i think i'm sure compared to others, a decent amount of kh items. Everywhere I go I'm always on the look out for kh merchandise. I even have a full packet of kh magazine snippets!!! OH you can see some cut out that I got from some fruit snacks! I forgot to put the Roxas one up. I could have had Namine one. I don't throw anything away with kh's name on it! I don't know if you can see it in pics. Kingdom Hearts has made it's points and meanings of light and darkness relate able to my own heart/soul and mind. Kingdom Hearts is exactly how I see what's always happening inside us. Inner fighting of the soul until we can salvage the light in us. I hope I can add kh2.8 to my collection and memories. Yes! I did indeed make the cut out for this contest and oh-my-gosh.... it took me so much longer that I expected. One I just happen to be a slow worker but that took me two days to do! I am definitely happy with the end result, sighhhh, if only I could go there... (may my green color pencil rest in peace) I'm so happy I made my main entries in time. I was afraid, even if I knew about the contest by it's second day, because since then my life has been so busy! I finally had the chance to work on them this week! I feel that happens every time I want to enter a contest. My inspiration behind my 'Ray of Hope' is from the way Sora's heart works. He believes in his friends who believe in him giving him the power and hope to accomplish anything. For my 'One sky' I just love how Mr. Nomura has based almost everything entirely around Sora and his name 'sky'. The art work, name, settings, everything he has set behind this word evokes light, hope, faith, the list could go on and on. And it has become a name that means a lot to me. Oh and I chose to put Namine because I'm not a fan of Xion, just my personal reference (but love her song and when she dies it's still so sad, but for Roxas) I also distinguished from the time of Roxas, Axel, and Xion's time in the organization by giving these three their own sitting place. They are sitting right in front of the train station in Twilight Town, I think that view is just gorgeous. You know, now that I think about it alot happens there with Sora, Roxas, and even Xion when she dies there. Thank you so much for hosting this Giveaway, I had so much fun with the theme this time I kinda went crazy with ideas but i summed it down to these entries. I don't know why two of the photo's are not straight, they were straight in the files on computer when I put them.(UUGHH I forgot to take pic of the shirt I won D'''X Edited December 27, 2016 by khkairi12 8 DizExplorer03, Sora, Mykaila Shakespeare and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WOW GEEZ!! Thanks you so much for raising my spirit! I trully hope I win! These entries are so phenomenal! That's a huge Kingdom Hearts collection! I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Thanks you so much for raising my spirit! I trully hope I win! You're welcome! Wow, I have to say that you really have some serious skills! If I tried to make a Destiny Islands like that, I'd end up with a disfigured version that probably wouldn't even pass for an End Of The World version of Destiny Islands! And that Sora, though!!!! You've truly got a hand for this kind of creativity, not to mention the coloring! I've always been bad at coloring! Haha, and yeah, I'm sure you're one of the heavy contenders that'll get the game!

Haha, and yeah, I'm sure you're one of the heavy contenders that'll get the game! *sniff* *sniff* YOU ARE SO KIND!!!! >W< Hahaha that's funny I know how you feel everything you said, about how you think something will turn out bad because of lack of skill, are things i've thought or said about myself. But if I didn't try I wouldn't have known if I could do it or mess up so I can learn from my mistakes. My drawing skills are still do not amount to a lot in my eyes because I have high expectations but it helps me to look back on my older drawing and see how far i've come so I can chill out. My coloring skills, oh my gosh, It was so hard for me too until recently when I started to water color. At the beginning I would color everything lightly, not because of the style but because I was afraid I would mess up. I didn't like how my pictures were dull compared to the artists I watch and decided I would push through being uncomfortable and add bolder colors. I'm still working on it but I'll get there just like you will! Keep that light shining! AHH! Thank you so much! I truly hope so!!! >W< OOPS p.s. I meant before that I did the pop out for this contest and the keyblade on desk for previous. Wow... this is really good. I LOVE the Destiny Islands model. It's amazing!!! Good luck!!!!!

X3 And well, yeah, normally when I'm drawing something, I have it neatly pictured in my head, and I always strive to make it as close as possible to how my mind pictures it! Most of the time the results are pretty pleasing! I shall keep on striving to become an even better artist! You've certainly given me extra motivation! Oh, and I noticed the One Sky drawing, that definitely looks gorgeous! But wow, your skills are awesome, and if you keep on going at it, you'll probably end up being like Tetsuya Nomura or a famous mangaka! Ah, so with coloring, you worked with watercolors, eh? I've really tried coloring, I really have, but I just love my drawings better in black and white! I dunno, maybe it's just a personal taste of mine! But yeah, I'll keep that light shining, no doubt about it! And haha, well, we'll see soon who wins! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so glad! >w< I love when people get hyped for their dreams, that brings warm excitement to my own heart My dream actually IS to become a famous Mangaka! I want to be able to spread love, hope, and happiness to those who read and look at my art, just like my favorite mangaka's and Mr. Nomura have. Thank you so much for your faith, and hope you'll here of me! AH! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy as much as I do! And yes, watercolors on watercolor paper. And that's absolutely fine! That's what so great about being an artist, you do whatever you want! If you don't feel that coloring is your thing then you don't have to. There are a lot of artist who focus on inks and they are amazing at it that color doesn't make a difference. And if you so choose to dabble or use color then that all right too! There are no rules to art! On DA there's this artist I watch that her art is just so fantastic and unique. I think you could relate to her style. Here's the link if you want to check out http://wickedalucard.deviantart.com/ She does many black and white but she also adds some color in some or use color in others. OH and just remembered http://eguana.deviantart.com/ also. I know!! I wonder when they announce, I don't know if i'll be on at the time.
