Woo~ So even though I don't like my coloring style (particularly for hair), I'm somewhat satisfied with this. ... if I don't zoom in all the way.. XD;.

I experimented quite a bit with this. For one thing, I only used the 'Spread & Noise' thing on Paint Tool Sai instead of 'Simple Circle.' Which is why the lines have a rather weird look . But I thought it would be fun to attempt to use a bit, and this turned out to be the piece that I used it with.

I learned that that tool is best for making it large and creating abstract backgrounds.. ... probably. : P.

Speaking of which, random background is random. I'm sure there are not blue swirls in the castle. You can pretend that the blue swirls mean they're not paying attention to their surroundings because they're focused on each other..? I dunno .

Ah~ But I should get around to explaining what this is.

So this is an entry for ~MrsZeldaLink 's contest, details on that were given here in her journal . The objective was to draw a scene from her fanfiction.
... okay... I probably didn't make this as accurate as possible... Though it's fairly close.. I think Xion was technically seated a different way and Roxas wasn't directly in front of her like that, but I'm not sure.. I imagined it something like this and it was easiest to draw in this way..

I planned to re-read her whole fanfic and catch up before picking a scene, but this scene stood out enough that I wanted to draw it and started before reading that much. I will keep reading! I just ended up wanting to draw this first~

Here's what the scene was (it's from chapter 8, which is titled 'Exploring Emotions' ... I got the deviation title idea from that )--

Roxas took a deep breath. "Well…while you were still asleep, Axel and I had ice cream on the clock tower. We got to talking, and well, Axel said he thought he had feelings for Larxene and…"

"Woah, woah, woah, back it up," Xion said. "Larxene? Haha that's priceless!" She started to burst out in laughter.

"Hey, calm down, let me finish," Roxas said, laughing along with her. After Xion's laughter died down, he continued. "Well that got us to thinking that maybe Nobodies do have feelings, and maybe they can feel…love. I mean, Axel told me that he feels different when he's around Larxene, and I feel different when I'm around…" His head suddenly dropped, and he could feel his stomach tie into a knot. As Xion waited anxiously for what he was going to say next, soft music known as Roxas' Theme played somewhere in the background (probably on Demyx's sound system). Xion also felt something in her stomach as she sat there waiting.

After what seemed like years of waiting, Xion decided to say something. "R-"

But she stopped when she saw Roxas lift his head slowly. He then looked her straight in the eye and said with as much boldness as he could manage, "When I'm around you."

Xion paused for a second. "Wh-what do you mean?" she asked nervously, wringing her hands together.

Roxas let out a sigh and closed his eyes. "I mean…" He then took a deep breath and opened his eyes back up. "I love you."

Xion felt her face grow hot, but she had too much emotion flowing through her to question it. Namely, she was confused as to how she even had emotion, because what Roxas said made her really happy inside. Joyful, even. There were just no words to describe it, especially since she was a Nobody. "R-"

Roxas silenced her by putting his finger to her lips. He felt a wave of courage crash over him and he needed to say what was on his mind. "I know they would all laugh, telling me I was out in the sun too long, but I don't care. I know my love for you is real…and I know you're real too. Don't listen to them, 'cause what do they know?"

"That last part sounded like it was from that song Larxene sang…" Xion murmured, trying to overcome her nervousness. She decided to try looking directly at him, hoping it would give her enough courage to say something. As soon as she saw his deep blue eyes, her eyes locked on to them and she couldn't look away. She felt almost lightheaded as she turned herself around to face him more comfortably. "Roxas, I…"

Roxas felt himself smiling as he stared at her. But he was also incredibly nervous, wondering if she would love him back. She hadn't said anything yet, which worried him that maybe she thought he was some kind of creep.

"I…" Xion began again, trying to get the words out. "I love you too."

And~ fun stuff comes after that, but you should go read her fanfic because A- I don't give away spoilers, and B- it's awesome.

With that, I think I should stop rambling and go to sleep! .
