Description Sanya Olsahann from Heart of Wildfire and Caelum St. Clair, my Kingdom Hearts OC.
You can learn more about Heart of Wildfire here: [link]



Caelum and Sanya were drawn in Paint Tool SAI.
Everything else was done in Photoshop CS5.

This is my entry for the Heart of Wildfire - Hearts of Love Contest, organized by *FallenAngelGM
Check the contest details out here: [link]

I actually finished this several hours ago, several days sooner than I thought I would. I would have submitted this earlier, but I was extremely apprehensive about it.
And then I asked my siblings what they thought of this. They said Caelum looks evil. Like he's about to commit a crime.



But he isn't. He seems evil on the outside - blame it on genetics - but he has only the best intentions. He would never hurt Sanya, no matter how evilly he's looking at her. Hahaha!

Oh, and I know Sanya technically has a match already in Heart of Wildfire and that she is not mine to pair with who I want.
But I couldn't help myself; I just had to draw her with Caelum. Knowing what he's like, of course, I know that it would be impossible for him not to fall for Sanya if they ever met. I can't say the same for Sanya, though, she'll probably dislike him instantly. He doesn't have a very lovable personality.



Anyway, let's put an end to this description before it gets too long. Hahaha!
So what's going on in this picture, hmm?
Well, Sanya is walking through a dark forest. And then...

“There you are...”
Sanya gasped, surprised by the voice. She spun around and found the speaker stepping out of the shadows. At recognizing him, relief and a slight hint of irritation colored her cheeks. “Oh. You again.”
“Me again,” he echoed pleasantly. He was smiling, the moonlight from overhead breaking through the forest canopy and highlighting the curve of white on his face. She could not decide if he looked threatening – his eyes and teeth glinting – or if he looked perfectly opposite that.
"Could you not do that?"
"Do what, Sanya?" he queried, saying her name slowly and deliberately as if it was such a pleasure.
She frowned. "Just... That!"
His smile turned gently into one of amusement and mild condescension. It vexed Sanya to see that she amused him so much when it was the last thing she was trying to do.
“What are you doing here anyway?” she asked.
He looked at her thoughtfully, his eyes shining with the unspoken words: Isn't it obvious?
“Looking for you.”
She shook her head. “Go home, Caelum. It isn't safe here. It's dark and you could get lost.” She didn't wait for an answer as she turned around and walked away.
Caelum, however, had no plans of just letting her leave. He followed after her, taking two steps for each of hers. As soon as he was close enough, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against him.
Before she could protest, the feel of his whisper against her ear stopped her. “Sanya, you must understand... I know no deeper darkness than when I'm without you.”

Thank you!

Unfortunately, Sanya doesn't belong to me and I don't know her well enough to portray her properly. That little story is just so that the picture makes sense. Hahaha!

But I'm really thrilled that you like it!

Just kidding. I like the design of your Vanaqua offspring... ^^
Okay, magtatagalog na lang.

Good question. Hahaha! But it's not anywhere inappropriate.
Thank you; I'm glad you like his design~

Yay! Tagalog!
Aww, maraming salamat~
Actually, nagsimula ako magdrawing last year, halos sabay lang ng pagsali ko sa site na to. Buti naman nagiimprove ako. Haha! Thanks so much!

Okay lang, no worries~
Buti naman open-minded ka, kasi sigurado akong may iba dyan na baka awayin ako dahil binigyan ko ng anak sina Vanitas at Aqua. Hahaha!

Bakit naman? Ayos naman sa aken na silang dalawa. Whether a couple makes sense or not, in the first place naman fictional sila.

Acquia In reply to gumi-harue [2012-02-04 15:42:00 +0000 UTC]

Yun nga eh, ewan ko lang sa iba kung bakit nakikialam pa sila. Di ko naman sila pinipilit na magustuhan din yung pairings na gusto ko, so ewan ko talaga.

Basta ako, gustong gusto ko yung VanitasAqua pairing~

Aww, gusto ko din yang pairing na yan~
Yaan mu na, lahat naman ata ng pairings nagbibigay ng sakit ng ulo. In any fandom, at kahit canon or crack.

Thanks, Kiome!



Her hair: the bane of my existence where this picture is concerned. Hahaha! It took me about as long to color her hair as it did to color all their clothes combined!

LMAO, that happens sometimes when you put a particular detail into something xD.

Acquia In reply to Kiome-Yasha [2012-01-30 15:29:55 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha! That's true.
I seriously had to put my pen aside and tell myself that I've got to get over her hair and move on. I think the hardest part was deciding between how I wanted to color it and how someone else said I should...

But the result is worth all the effort when you're praised for it, and when you like what you've done. Right?

Kiome-Yasha In reply to Acquia [2012-01-30 15:36:41 +0000 UTC]

LMAO, I'm not like that with coloring, I'm like that when I'm lining XD. But yes, you are right .

Aww, you'll catch up, no worries.
Actually, I bet you won't just catch up; you'll also be better than me. You're more serious about drawing than I am, after all.



Thank you so much!
It would be so wonderful if I do win.
