Description
More Riku being angsty again. I sense a theme. [I am sadly self-indulgent.]I'm constantly fascinated by the events of Deep Dive. I love Memory's Skyscraper.
Sketchy, loose coloring, and a mess of images and vauge ideas... a little too tired to work on this anymore, so I'll leave it as that.
I need to read some angsty Riku fanfics, stat! Preferbly something with hurt/comfort.
*is such a nerd for happy angst*Tools: openCanvas 4, a tablet, and about 2 hours.

I've been stabbing my way through KH so I can see a better quality of Deep Dive, all I've ever seen is the youtube and I can't read the phrases there.
But it's an incredible video.

There are some fics I've linked here. :3 It's a lot of Post-KHII fics, some gen, some shounen ai, a bunch of OT3s, and a good dose of angst in most of them *_*

No problem. Do you have any faaavorite KH fic-links to share?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WHY YES, YES I DO.
actually, i cant remember most of them, so here's a couple that i have read and remembered liking a lot, and a couple that are still in progress (theres many more, but i just have too many stories saved on ff.net 
[link] Gravity by redwing55. COMPLETE When a disgruntled Sora lets his parents sign him up for a summer climbing camp, he's less than enthusiastic. But with some interesting new friends, crazy counselors, and a handsome, infuritating boy to deal with, this week might be more interesting than he thought...(RikuXSora, AxelXRoxas, AU) (i find this one to be quite hilarious and well-written)
[link] Key Stroke by Absinthian. IN PROGRESS. Sometimes we're scared to live, too. (yup, ANNNNGGGGSSSTTTTYYYYY RIKU) (RikuXSora AU)
[link] Center of Fire by kokoro77. COMPLETE. Roxas is new to the Organization and meets with Axel, an older teen who is ordered to guide Roxas and teach him the ways of the Organization. As time progresses, Axel soon discovers what it is like to be prisoner to his own 'heart'. (pre-Kingdom Hearts 2...lots of hotness, sexual tension and annnggggst)
[link] gin and sin by archy the cockroach. IN PROGRESS. sometimes, you just need to learn to let go (this one is currently my favorite fanfic in progress...well, besides introspective hero, by weiila on the jakXdax fanfic section, which you should check out cuz it will BLOW. YOUR. SKULL. anyway, lots of angst and drama and some...well, not quite fluffly, but...i can't explain it, just read it 
and i'm gonna totally take advantage of this post and be way off-topic with some totally NOT KH RELATED BUT AMAZING FICS AND TOTALLY MY FAVESSSSS, SO CHECK THEM OUT ANYWAY
South Park [link] Deep Within by Indianna Beach Bum. COMPLETE. My name is Stan Marsh. I am eighteen years old, and this is my story. (Stan angsting for Kyle cuz he's pertty)(lots of anggggssst and WAFF and slasssshhhh and suspensefulness that fucking kills me inside )
Inuyasha [link] Trapped Under the Knife by NamelessEntity9. COMPLETE Inuyasha is somehow trapped in some kind of research lab in the modern era where Torturous tests are conducted on him to figure out what he is and for other, darker reasons. He comes to some realizations about himself and Kagome while trapped. (dark, angsty, and fluffy)
Harry Potter [link] Their Room by aleximoon. COMPLETE. alright, so this may sound like your usual "Draco and Hermione are forced to do a project together! o...boy..." but actuallly, this one does it right and it has over 2000 reviews to prove it
Jak and Daxter [link] Just Another Mission by Demyrie. COMPLETE. In the cold future, Daxter realizes that Jak means everything to him. But... what then? As Daxter struggles to cope with his almighty crush, Jak is trying to figure out what's wrong and stay alive. (alright, so this is literally the best fanfic i've ever read....ever, of all fanfics under whatever category, i don't care, this store outshines them all O__O you do not have to be a jakXdax fan to read this [i wasn't at all when i started reading it], but by the end, you'll be like "AAAAA WHHHOOOOOLLLLEEE NEEEEWWWW WOOOORLLLDDD!!...its so beautifully written and so perfectly in character and i think you must read it now...o, and hot, yes. fear not, dax does turn back into a human-elf thing during the fic....no fuzzy-love

I tend to avoid AUs since I like the KH world in general (I'm all about epic battles and battle-won journies), but I'll give them a shot.
I'm really interested about the South Park fic, rofl xD;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
o me too, i generally hate AU's cuz they're well, generally REALLY BAD, hahaha!!! unfortunately AU's seem to outnumber KH world fics, so i give them a chance, and occasionally, through the piles of crap, stumble upon these gems.
and yes, that south park fic is amazing. one day i woke up and i was like "you know what, stanXkyle=otp" and i did a search for fics based on them, found a number of good ones but Deep Within has been my favorite to this day. ch-ch-ch-ch-check, check it out~

Very nice. The colouring is just beautiful
Gosh, I wish I could colour as well as you expert devaintsssss
Was there any special kind of brushing you used to draw the skyscrapers?
n.n!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just the water color brush, and different shades of black, green, and blue, at a low opacity. For the lines, I just used the spoon pen at full opacity.

I love the shading & perspective in the window & riku's facial expression! who can't love an angsty riku?

Lovely work, as usual!!
Made me think of a couple of the stories you can find here:
[link]
and here:
[link]
They're kinda all RikuxSora, but the writing is well done. You might want to check them out. ^_~
If you're looking for something dark and Deep-dividey... There's always "Growing Darkness". (I think the author said you inspired him/her to write the fic, so I'm guessing you've read it... If you need the link, I can send it to you.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I LOVE RikuxSora, so no worries. *_* Thanks for the link!! And yeah, I remember Growing Darkness, but a refresher link won't hurt

Lol. Enjoy, and don't get too angsty! (without drawing art that's inspired by it, that is! ^_~)
