Description Strength +7                    (Lv10: +12)
Magic +7                        (Lv10: +12)

"A Keyblade drawn from the heart of a true king. Light and easy to maneuver, with a generous boost in both Strength and Magic."

Formchange(s):
-Counter Shield :: Drawing power from Mickey's bond with Goofy, use a sturdy shield to block head-on attacks and strike with bashing and spinning attacks.
-Wonder Staff :: Drawing power from Mickey's bond with Donald, launch volleys of magic spells at targets and launch explosive rockets as a combo finisher.
-Short Sabre :: Drawing power from Mickey's bond with Riku, transform the Keyblade into a slender blade for slashing and thrusting attacks, reminiscent of the musketeer's blade.
Shotlock(s):
-Star Shooter (Use the Star Shard to zip around the battlefield in a trail of light, dealing damage to whatever enemies were targeted by the Shotlock)

Ability: Savior, the King
If an allied party member is KOed, cast Situation Command "Don't Give Up!" to instantly revive them at full HP and grant them temporary invulnerability to attacks. The more HP this Command restores, the more MP is drained; in addition, the chance of activation decreases with consecutive uses of the Command.

So how many of you were expecting Mr. Mouse to be getting a new Keyblade? Well, he is one of the Seven Guardians of Light in KH3, so it just felt appropriate to give him a new one too. Drawing Mickey was a little tricky at first with all the contours of his face, but once I got into the rhythm, it was a lot of fun to sketch a new outfit and the expressions for the guy. Plus, the next design should be coming soon, so for anyone not happy with this, maybe the next one will satisfy you.

-Kingdom Key D was definitely one of the main inspirations for this Keyblade, but I also tried combining elements of the Star Seeker, and elements of Mickey's training under Yen Sid (mainly in the sorceror's hat and in the stars forming the links of RR's Keychain).
-If you look closely, you'll notice that the teeth form both the crown silhouette that the Kingdom Keys are known for, as well as a stylized "M".
-The main colors of the Keyblade are red and gold, both for Mickey's usual attire and to symbolize royalty as the King of Disney Castle.
-The Keyblade's ability was meant as a nod to Mickey's interventions in KH2 , where he would randomly appear to help Sora and deal damage to enemies when Sora had perished in battle.
-Since Mickey is more skilled in the use of a Keyblade, I wanted to give him three formchanges to represent his greater understanding of its uses and specialties.
-The third formchange took a while to decide on, as I wanted it to have as much relevance to Mickey's bonds with others as the other two did, while also tying to his past adventures in some way. I settled on the idea of a rapier weapon that was more adept in critical hits and the like as a reference to Mickey in the Country of the Musketeers, back when he was more used to a rapier than the Keyblade.
-The image of stars and moons are a constant theme in this Keyblade, with the moons around the handle forming a hidden mickey symbol and the aforementioned stars in the keychain links, as a sign of Mickey's close adherence to his master Yen Sid's teachings.

Whoa ho-ho-HOOOOOOO! Was not expecting the Mickey Keyblade, but I totally am in love with the design, from its colours to (all being primary colours was a very appreciated touch), to those transformations, to the ability... I think my personal favourite part of it is that it is a perfectly balanced weapon of nigh all primary colours, 'cause to me? ... that's Mickey. Basic, but balanced. It's not at all overdesigned or gawdy, but it has a kingly feel and sophistication to it; it's beautiful in its simplicity.

... the Fantasia ref with Yen Sid's hat also helps. XD

Good to hear, I was hoping for a more regal appearance with this Keyblade, much like the colors of the Kingdom Key D. I’m not quite sure what made me think Mickey should have a simple design, but the idea of using the crown teeth as an ‘M’ definitely stuck out to me the most.

This looks Totally Amazingly Awesome!!

Do you think you'll still be able to draw Master Sora too?

Hmm, I’ll have to see once I finish the Keyblades of Heart project. I’m looking to get a part-time job over the summer, but other than that I should have more time to work on art projects, so maybe I can work with that.
