Description
Be you hero or child, to live without regrets is to live without ever learning.[Bury your ghosts.]
To me, Sora didn't seem to change very much over the course of the games. He did grow more confident, stronger, and learned to follow his heart, but when fighting you're forced to act or be hurt. But after everything is done... there will be a lot of time for him to think.
Edit: (cutting and pasting from what I said a few comments down...)
To me there are many types of a hero's journey: doing great deeds, over coming great obstacles, defeating great odds, etc. But my favorite is when the hero has to face something about himself, a defeat of his own ego... which Riku goes through. I suppose that's why Riku's my fave in that regards. xD But Sora is a wonderful protagonist! His brand of optimism is hard to find in characters these days (considering Squeenix). After the battle, though, he'd probably wonder if everything he did was the right thing - although there is no "right" or "wrong," just things that had to be done.
Etc. *ends babble* D:
Sora with fireflies. (Count em.)
I did this a few days ago, but didn't want to post it until I did my Triptych: Riku picture so the Destiny Island Trio would be nice and lined up with each other in my gallery. XO!

Very nice. And I agree, Sora's brand of happy-go-lucky heroism is hard to come by in the video game world these days.

A nice tribute to those who were just looking to be whole. I love what you did here, Sora thinking stuff like that over. He really didn't change much you're right, who knows what to come but I like the pic, very deep.

I'm guessing the twelve fireflies.. Stand for the twelve dead Organization Members. As of, "Ghosts". XD
I love how the coloring and such is smoothe, and the lines scratchy. <3
Nice angle, and I love the palms in the back. :]]

It's amazing, the shades, the incredible use of such a small range of colours, and the emotion in the picture... kinda sad ;_;

ARGHILOVEIT.
And the symbolism and the explanation and all of the awesome. Beautiful!

Very beautiful. This has so much feeling. The shadows give it a very nice effect.
I really think you are right. In the second game, I thought that what the Organization was doing was pretty wrong, but all they wanted was their hearts. Something they have been deprived of. Is that so wrong? They were doing the wrong thing but I don't see what makes them the bad guys in that situation, under those circumstances.
This picture seems to me as Sora saying he regrets his actions. Though he does not regret fighting for what he believes is right, he could have done it a better way, in which those who needn't suffer didn't (Such as Axel and Demyx, in my opinion).
Anyway,do the twelve fireflies stand for something? Maybe the Organization. Sora could be the thirteenth because he is Roxas, in a way.

this is very pretty.... i love it. by coincidence: i JUST finished a lineart of Riku, trying to hold a firefly! im going to color it, and random thought, but i decided to see if there were any more kh firefly arts out there. there are! wow!

I really like your choice of colours and the style of this one.
The mood of this piece is fantastic. Great theme.

Your work was in my Fav as far as the websites go but I guess I was just neglecting my deviant account. >👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I, too, wanted development in his character, one way or another. I love the colors on this piece.

thats a cool quote, the one with no regrets or whatever, can i use it as my siggy?

12 fireflies... My guess is they're the Organization members?
Anyway, this is really deep! I agree that Sora would definately be thinking about everything that happened once he got back to the island. I even wrote a story about his ponderings on the word "normal" after everything he's been through. However, that story ended up tumbling into a Riku/Sora story.

12..Does it hold a significance? I must be missing something.

I dunno if he'll ever get a break... (wtf KH2 secret ending) I liked the end of the game though. When Sora was like "we'll be the darkness" I was like YES, finally something serious. But then they left. D: They gotta make KH3 with something more realistic.. and develop Sora some more :/
You explain it all perfectly, and I wholly agree with you 100%.

Cool, man. I'd like to say they're pyreflies jus oit'd seem like he's mourning some one...in some weird crossover way...

wow.. that's deep.
nice hue of colors. it depicts the mood well. ^^
i always thought sora was one of those happy-go-lucky types. never gave a thought about his more angsty side.
hey! i've got inspiration to write a fanfic now!! weeeee~

Wow. I love the way that your art seems to trick the mind into hooking appropriate things onto the experience-- like hearing crickets and waves when you look at this peice. It looks so much like Sora, that I can almost imagine the scene in action. INSTANT FAV.
