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.

Wangst! 8DD
I really love it. Imagining Riku owning an apartment in TWTNW is a really nice idea...
Nice use of color.

I bet he camped out in the buildings when looking for Roxas there. Convenient place! But I don't know if I'd want to sleep there with all the Heartless running around. Q____Q

Goooood point there...
I think Riku can't sleep at -all-, what with all that darkness -inside- him terrorizing his poor little heart. I mean, if Xehanort's Heartless were constantly egging you on about "SUBMIT! SUBMIT TO THE DARKNESS!! DARKNESS!!! SUBMIT!!!!" but either a.) more annoying than that, b.) much scarier than that, or c.) all of the above, you couldn't get a wink of sleep, ne?

Very captivating, to say the least. The tones you used help set both the theme and the mood. The lineart is absolutely beautiful, and I will commission you if you tell me how to make heartless that look that good. XD You are my butterfly-on-nose-drawing IDOL. I usually don't like Riku angst because it's so cliche, but hey, this is actually some GOOD Riku angst for a change! XD

Heartless! I just use a round brush and make a lot of big dark blots and spots And then fuzzy yellow orb-like eyes that sort of glow. And squiggly lines and curls for antenna. Voila? XD

Thank you!

Aw...this makes me want to write Riku-angst for you, which is pretty much the only genre I amount to anything in. xD

I really love the tones you've used here...the overall composition is fantastic.
