Dedication : To my dear friend Rachel for her birthday (that was Monday - >dies< - sorry it's late Rachel; hope you likey) See? I stopped punching those damn tanks and robots and made you a present. Use the Reaction command wisely and carefully. Knowing you, it'll be put to good use however.


Sketch/Lineart : ?? Hours - Red and Grey Lead, Micron Pen on Sketchbook Paper
Colors/Effects : 10-15 Hours - OpenCanvas4 and Paint Shop Pro 9


Subject : Axel from Kingdom Hearts:CoM and Kingdom Hearts 2


Comments : There are a few things that bother me, but as a whole, I am very pleased with the outcome of this piece.
Axel came out looking fantastic - especially in the sketch so I continued it.
The weapons killed me - that's all I have to say on their part.
I tried to go all out on the coloring for this one. Not necessarily the way I envisioned it, but pretty close.
The boxers. Ah, the boxers. Just use the REACTION COMMAND. That's all I have to say about that. (oh and I played the game and studied the reaction command to get it juuuust right). Almost was gonna put a menu in the lower corner but decided against it. I actually had other ideas for them - including a Chibi Roxas with a sea-salt icecream. ^_^
The background is mine as well. Found tons of pictures of fire and painted it and did all kinds of cool effects and whatnot. Yay.
