Description WARNING: Implied shounen-ai (is this REALLY neccessary?) or really close friends

Full view plz

Hey hey ^^ This pic was inspired by the wonderful story "The Ugly Duckling Effect" by Azneyez, which can be found at [link] If you have time, please check out this fic. It's a REALLY fun read, and never fails to cheer me up. However, it IS shounen-ai/yaoi, so if you'r not into that kind of stuff stay far FAR away Of course, I did take a bit of artistic license with the yearbook described in the fic, so it's not quite exactly the same. This pic was also spurned by a bout of post-graduation nostalgia. Wow...and the end of highschool seemed so far away when I first started out

The pic was originally done in pencil, which I scanned and tried to clean up, so please excuse the messiness. The bg was drawn by me, so there are more mistakes than I care to think about. I never really studied that foreground/background stuff and didn't realize till after that the bg should be blurry considering the camera focus Aside from that, I think it turned out alright. I was experimenting with a bit of a different colouring style than normal again, so it's still shaky ^^ I just love Sora/Riku though, and felt they needed a bit of homage. If you'd like to see just the pic, it can be found in my scraps @ [link]

I hope all you fellow graduates had a wonderful year too

This picture is really adorable. I got here through the fic from Azneyez and I must say this is one of the few fanarts made for a fanfic that deserves more than a second glance.

It truly looks like the real album picture she depicted in her story. And it's amazing - the colors are bright, the poses natural and everything's just so pretty and warm!

Howeeever... (I can't help it, I can't!) I'd like to point out a little flaw I saw in proportions. It might not be really noticeable, but the red sweater should cut itself before it reaches the arm. As it is, it looks like Sora either has a very broad chest or that his torso has an odd shape. It looks a bit off, but it's about the only thing I can really point out to this, otherwise, very pretty picture.

Don't give up and keep working on such great drawings! ^^

XD I started cracking up as soon as I saw this! ^__^ It's adorable, they look so sweet together~ <3

It definately helps me imagine what Sora and Riku looked like back in their highschool years, and what the picture was like in the yearbook ^__^

...and why ARE all the cute ones gay? XD *steals Sora away* <3;;

It's so not a bad thing. Geeks are usually the ones that end up being hot and working for Square Enix *cough*TetsuyaNomura*cough*
