A fan art of Sora Aoi from Kingdom Hearts. I really wanted to focus on the face of the Keyblade Wielder. So I lied Sora down on the bed and drew him while sitting on top of him. I hope you like this *prince-buggy

Lets have a little Kingdom Hearts story time. Not many people know this but I was a big fan of Kingdom Hearts, not many people know because during my KH fandom days I was still in High School and in my group of friends they weren't into these Disney Final Fantasy games, they were more into GTA and hardcore bang bang boom boom games, so I was a little bit shy to bring it up. Kingdom Hearts was the second game I ever got for the PS2, first game being Metal Gear Solid 2, they were both in Japanese because I didn't know about the region locks so I got the console in Hong Kong and it ended up being a Japanese PS2, so all I could play was Jap games... Anyway I played it and loved it, I then had to go online to find out the story of what I just played, I read every word and I was just as confused as playing the game in Japanese. The story was crazy as hell, it had something to do with dream and sealing darkness and something to do with a key and worlds and heart and somehow Disney characters got dragged into all this. Lol but it was hell of a game, I loved meeting the Disney characters so much. I then bought Kingdom Hearts II (Also in japanese...) and finished it within a week, a friend was also interested in it so I lend it to him, he then left the game in his car and coincidentally that day his Lancer Evolution VI got stolen in the shopping center.. along with my game! The poor guy was sad as hell man, but he still paid me back full price for the game. After the first two games I think Kingdom hearts came out for the Gameboy Advance with a spinoff called the Chains of Memories where its like a card game? I didn't get it because I was waiting for Kingdom Hearts III, then another spinoff game came out for the mobile phones, then another for the PSP, And DS, And 3DS, And I was like 'Dude stop making all these bloody spinoff games and come out with Kingdom Hearts III already!' But it never happened... I just felt a bit betrayed and annoyed at all the spinoffs. I know if Kingdom Hearts III does come out I would not understand it at all because they have a mountain of spinoff games that contributes to the story I think, I'll be like 'WHO THE HELL ARE ALL THESE CHARACTERS?'.. But anyway thats my Kingdom Hearts story I hope you had fun reading it.

Anyway about this artwork, thanks *Deer-Head for helping out with the name, I had to ask someone who is familiar with the game to come up with a good english title for this artwork, and she's white, so I made it her duty to help the Asian boy out. With great power comes great responsibility, but I like this title 'Day Dreamer'. KH has a lot of themes about dream and sleep and giving birth when someone is asleep and all those stuff right? So I think its an appropriate name for this pic. Hey its better than its original title 'Lying in Bed'.

I actually enjoyed the spin off games because it explained a bit more of the keyblade and kingdom hearts, but I will be very patient for KH3 because that will be the final ending of the KH franchise which I will miss dearly :)

Ry, I feel exactly the same way about the spin-off's, I've been waiting for years and years for Kingdom Hearts III and like you I was completely in love with the first two games. I was like "Alright, sure, a spin-off game can't be TOO bad, they'll get to Kingdom Hearts III soon, they're probably just milking it a little more which is understandable for most game companies."
So, still excited, I bought the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 but was SO disappointed. Roxas, being one of my most favorite characters of all was finally in a game where he was a main protagonist, so I was really happy to be getting a game like it. But, then... Xion. XION. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY NEED TO CREATE HER? If there's a proper reason, why not make a better thought-out character, she was just awful, as if a fan had made a Mary-Sue and they just threw her right on in there. She really ruined that game for me, that it was all based around her. Another girl character that was better would have been perfectly fine with me, but they stuck her in it. And in the end it felt like nothing was really accomplished either with the way she just vanished and she was just forgotten, I knew she was supposed to play SOME part in it, but it felt like it was needed and that part of the entire story was not needed to our knowledge.
Then, Birth By Sleep, I couldn't get it because it was on PSP which really annoyed me for starters, but oh well, that happens. So I had to read up on the entire thing and it seemed alright, apart from the fact that we didn't really need to know about that either. They stretched out stories that could have easily been placed into the bigger games, heck, they could have made it so it's Kingdom Hearts IV and I would be fine, because it's not an entire game of pointless spin-off's. In the actual game you could say, "Yeah I didn't like that part so much."
But I don't know, maybe my views are wrong; I feel myself that my views are fine because the Kingdom Hearts fan base has lost a lot of popularity due to those games ( Almost all of my friends ditched it after kingdom heart 358/2, too. ) But it has also gained some.
I just want Kingdom Hearts III to come out with all the answers I wanted for the first two games the way they should be answered and I can be happy playing the game- but yeah, I'm exactly how you are with the worry that if I get that game, whenever it's released, that I won't know a lot of the characters or story behind it.
On the other hand of all of this, the picture is amazing and your art never fails to amaze me, no matter the subject <3 I've followed you on Facebook for a while now and I love seeing your art in the feed every now and then, keep it up, Ry. ; u ; :heart: ~
