...All growed up and hitting puberty.

I fan-boyed pretty hard on Kingdom Hearts when it came out years ago, so I pretty much expected to do the same with KH2 now. I picked it up some days ago, played it straight through with little rest. (Eh... It's a short game - and I suck, so I played Easy Mode - secret KH3 movie be damned, I could just download that anyway. )

It was awesome, by the by. I kinda' liked the first, more - but visually and in gameplay KH2 is win. There's alot I wanna' draw from it, 'cause I'm just jones-ing on it that hard. But getting a feel for these characters (Nomura's got a character design habit akin to 90s comics - belts and bandages are to KH what pouches and pockets were to the X-Men, yo!) is tricky, so I don't expect to ever start-to-finsih anything other than pin-ups.

Anyway. I really didn't intend the pic to be that inspired by the Start screen - icecream in mouth, standing in water - but I had gotten to do some jazzy watter-effects in a recent commish, so I was in the mood to practice them more. So I deleted the rest o' his feet from the line-art and threw in water. Hope ya' cats dig! Thanks for lookin'.

Helluva way to start a month, and I'm much obliged to *nolavon and ^gatekeeper501 and all you folks that dropped by and commented and faved and watched and all that groovy stuff. ^^ Thank ya' much folks - it was a very pleasant surprise after the exhaustion of a 30hour gaming-a-thon.
