Comment: My side of a trade my friend * Nanuka and I are doing. I was to draw Riku in his heartless outfit for her and she's gonna draw KH1 Sora for me. :) I'm so happy with this too! Though the lineart alone is really beautiful. I would post it but I'm too afraid of art theives. I kinda am all the time anyway but it's easier for them to rip lineart than it is colored art. :shrug:

Anyway. Heartless Riku! I actually succeeded in making him hot! 'Least I think so. ^^ And ignore the really cheezy poem thing. lol. I just added it in to fill up negative space, even though it still feels a bit blank. :shrug:

So yeah that's that I guess. I hope you like eet *Nanuka-chan! :hug:

[EDIT: 3-1-05] Can I ask you guys something? I would love to know why this of all my artwork gets so much attention. O.o;; I just don't get it. I understand it might be due to fanart based, but even so... it's not even my best work. All my good stuff never gets as much attention. :faint: Oh well. For whatever reason you guys like this, is fine with me I suppose. I'm just really stumped on this one. :confused:
Not complaining though.. but still. :confused: Well thanks again for all the favs. Almost at 500 now. :O_o: man that's nuts. Who'd a thought it?


[EDIT- 12-23-04] Like Oh My GAawd!! XD I have 300+ favourites on this and it was a top favourite. Xx Thank you all who commented and favourited this one! I feel honored and not quite sure I'm deserving of such attention as I KNOW there's much better Riku art than mine. xD All the same, I appreciate it all very much. :hug: You guys rock my socks!!! :headbang:

The feelings behind this are intense. Again, why did it take me so long to find this? Damn. Love it. Great job with Riku's heartless suit, it looks like it'd be a bitch to draw/color. But it looks damn good here.

And the coloring on Riku's top half especially is epic.
