Pixie Dust. All you need to fly, to soar in the sky with the sun.

Gah.. spent so much time with this. ;_; Even more than that other Sora pic I did. >.< I mean, the first sketch I did of this took me 3 hours, and I spent another 3 hours coloring in Sora.. only to trash that pic and redraw it. >>; Guh.

Anyway, it's for a contest on the Kingdom Hearts Ultimania site. The theme was "Using any medium you wish, draw your favourite character(s) from the Kingdom Hearts Series on vacation in an interesting style." So I put Riku, Sora and Kairi in Neverland. =3 It takes place after KHII. I figured they'd need a place where they could just relax and be children again. =3 And then I felt bad for Roxas, so I stuck him and his friends there in the back. Yeah.

I haven't submitted this into the contest yet. It ends Thursday, the 31st. But there's still a lot of things in the picture I need to fix. =/ So some constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. One of my main questions is, should I keep the group in the back or erase them? I feel I didn't do my best on them, and I'm afraid that by putting them in, I might actually be making the pic look worse. =/ And some tips on how to make it look more like Neverland would help. I wanted to put Tink in there, but the rules for the contest said no Disney characters allowed, except for Mickey, Donald and Goofy. The background doesn't look great either. >.< So yeah...

Some help please. ;_;

Edit 8/30/06: Okay.. Worked on the background some more and fixed Kairi and Riku's wrists. I think. Also widened Riku's chest and added some reflective water light.. things. xP Hope it looks a bit better now. =3

Edit 8/30/06: Last edit, I think. I just went through and edited some things. =3 Reworked some of the outlines and added sparklies into the pixie dust. x3 I'm pretty sure that's it. I'm submitting it into the contest now. =3

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
wow i think you did a really great job on this picture, i really love the eyes ^^
as for weither or not keeping the group in the back ^^ keep them ^^ they look pretty good and i think it adds nicely to the picture ^^
the only thing for contructive criticism... hm... well they pic looks so well done but the water just looks like random shades of blue done in semi random patterns, maybe try adding more detail to it, make it seem like clear extremly blue water or maybe add a little fishie or two...
or do nothing, the pic does look great just the way it is ^^ really nicely done ^^
I don't know. I'm kind of torn about the others in the background. I think they clutter the picture and draw focus away from the main three, but at the same time I think that corner would be very empty without them. Maybe if you could write "Neverland" or the KHII logo there or something. They're well done and interesting, but they detract from the picture.

As far as the background goes, it looks fine in the small view, but up close it really just looks like a bunch of scribbles. Even blending it a little would probably help. I guess some details you could add to it might be footprints in the sand or something. The concept is fine, but it's all scribbly. The only think I can think that would make it more Neverland-y would be putting an aligator (or was it a crocodile?) in the water, but that might count as a Disney character. *shrug* Or put a big hacking lable "Neverland" in that corner. I'm sure there's a logo-y thing from the game that you could try to replicate. That'd probably look cool. Or just the title of the picture or something. I don't know.

About the three of them . . . is the little blue thing under Kairi's butt part of Riku's pants? Cuz like . . . HOW? And Kairi's one wrist makes me think of Popeye. The one extending toward the viewer. It's all thick and not-very-wrist-like. So's Riku's. The one we can see. Riku also looks slightly malnurished =O.

I love the poses and the expressions though! And Sora's perfect. Don't touch him. He's a minor.

Personally, I think it's fine the way it is. They all look so happy! I happen to like the bathing suit you made for Kairi and Olette. It still follows the same style and colour scheme of their original clothes, which I think is pretty cool.
I really like how you did the pixie dust! It's so magical! And the ship in the background is a good reminder that they're in Neverland!
