Description I guess I'm in an upside-down mood today! I find things a bit more disturbing when they're not rightside-up.

I think Chain of Memories had a line that went something like "There will always be darkness in the brightest of light." (And light in the darkest shadow.)

Sora, if he were a star, would probably supernova with all that happy goodness in him. Yet, there are times when things won't be so clean cut for him, and he'll have to realize life is made of many grey areas.

This piece is partially inspired by this fic: [link] Riku comes face to face with Sora's darker side for the first time. Of course, saying that was a big spoiler, but it's the build up that makes it. Check it out. (Note: Some shounen ai.) It's one of my favorite fics, and I really like the take on Riku's characterization. They all have issues they still need to deal with, post-KHII.


*Know of any Anti-Sora fics? Link them in the comments, I'd like to read them!!

Man! I gotta continue playing the second one... I'm stuck at the one battle from when you finish the.... digatized world.. {no clue what its called} I just cannot defeat him -_- It's soo annoying...

When would you be able to have him transform into his Anti~form?

Man I rmbr when he turned all dark and stuff in the game when I was in the POTC town, I was just like. "wth?" But he does kick allot of ass in the formm I must admit that. And he is somewhatshmexy. i bet Riku would like a little darkness to Sora if you know what I mean -heheheheeeee...mre.

Awesome job on the pick btw. I just love sketchy art.

Mmmmmm, Dark!Sora... I love how it's upside down. And either I'm looking at it too much, but with the highlighting of the lower face, it looks like he's kind of looking down at us. XD Or up, since it's upside down...

I'm really sad that when Sora turned into his heartless mode thingy, the game didn't seem to take notice, y'know? Like, Sora never spoke with Donald and Goofy about it, nor did he ask the King or Leon for help. ;-; It's like they ignored it...
