"My light in the darkness."


Drawn and painted using PS CS5 & Clip Studio Paint, with a Wacom Intuos 5 tablet.

Began sketching this right after playing BBS:A Fragmentary Passage; also listened to its soundtrack while painting this.Β 

The ost is so sad and yet so very beautiful, it fits Aqua's story wonderfully. I'm not crying, you're crying

Anyone else think the realm of darkness/dark world is actually a pretty place?

Already told you this but: this is really good. I love what you did with the lighting and the sparks of light around the wayfinders in particular. Also the folds of Aqua's clothes are really well done, way to go!

I appreciate it! I had so much fun making the wayfinders all glowy & glittery. Tbh, originally I'd envisioned them holding random glowing stars, then suddenly was like "Stars?? Just draw the wayfinders, that's cooler."
Also, I never really know what I'm doing with drawing clothes, and sort of just kept randomly shading things until I thought they looked okay. Glad it turned out well.

Thanks again!

Definitely the best choice with the Wayfinders! And you know, considering you say you've got no idea what you're doing, you do pretty darn well with drawing clothes! Go you

This is such a meaningful picture, it shows Aqua's deep devotion towards their friendship and the strength she gets out of it.
And yes, the Realm of Darkness is actually a quite beautiful place (maybe except for the pureblood heartless that try to steal
your heart...), you captured the place's atmosphere perfectly btw, the colour scheme is really neatΒ  Β

Took a while to paint, but it was totally worth it. I loved every minute.

So glad you like it, hun!

I can see that you really put a lot of love and effort into this image!!!Β  Β  Is it ok to ask how long this took you to paint? Β 


(Honestly, that's completely understandable...! ;_; The spoilers were really going wild before release... It was awful... )

HetemSenar In reply to Lady-Shosha [2019-02-27 00:38:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh dear, how long I took? :'D

I took nearly a month alone to sketch & lineart it, since I couldn't at first decide exactly what pose I wanted them in, and then had to figure out how arms and hands even look at those angles.

Then the painting took over three weeks, so nearly another month. Of course, I didn't work on it every day of those months, and probably just several hours at most on the days I did.

I honestly don't know how many hours it took total. It's something I try not to think about much when I draw. lol

She looks quite similar [well, the hair style and colour] of my dear friend Alice, known on this site as Destiny Blue a very popular and well known user who attends conventions such as the MCM London Comic-Con, or London MCM Expo as it was originally known.

And her hair does look similar to Aqua's (from Kingdom Hearts). That's neat.

You know, there's supposed to be a psychological benefit to seeing things you find aesthetically appealing, so, guess your art is good for me.
