Description And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated --- "Haunted" by Poe

I swear that song has been stuck in my head and compelled me to draw this. Also, have ya ever wondered how Riku felt when Ansem took over his body and did all sorts of dastardly things, while Riku's soul is either 'sleeping' somewhere or just somewhere inside where he sees all of these things that he's doing to Sora and co.? Or rather when Riku was wandering around in DAARKKKNESS D: Hence why I think that he'd be haunted by all those actions and etc that hurt Sora and the rest of the people he knows. *shrugs* Poor guy.

Experimenting with watercolours again... don't really like the way I drew Riku but I like how the background turned out. Except the shadows, which kinda amuse me in a way :3 And the colouring on his shirt is messssy.

+ ink pens, buncho watercolours, 2+ hours

ah man, thats fukkin awesome. the mood from the background and the expression on riku's face are perfect. you can actually see the trauma and suffering in his eyes, like he's about to crack under the pressure. and yet he still manages to be friggen hott~ XD

YES WE MUST! I constantly reach out for an invisible ctrl+z button in the air when I'm doing trad pieces. Ahahaha!

Exams, yeah... kinda. Stressing me out. =_=; Thanks for your comment though

FF? Riku's from Kingdom Hearts. XD; Also another game by Square-Enix but with Disney.

whoa. Nice background, especially with the drawings on the hands. Riku's expression makes the whole artwork a level higher too. Freaky expression. ._.

Somehow, the hands reminds me of the Gate of Truth...and Riku's stuck behind the door..? *gets kicked*

silpholion In reply to WildDrive [2005-09-15 05:13:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Ahaha, really? Now I'm getting mental images of those freaky human-like things in the Gate clawing at Riku and who knows what happens later. XD;

Actually, you did Riku great. Just that the lighting isn't intense enough or something >_< But I guess that's really hard to do in watercolour, so great job!

A - O - kay.

guy sitting in a place with creepy black hands holding him down. And a lil dragon i think...

well since this is a drawing, i wouldnt expect it to be as good as the other works you usually post, but if you were to edit it digitally, i guess anything's possible for you.

I was bored and annoyed out of my mind. Don't mind me

Nah, I'd rather leave my trad works untouched, since they are after all done with media that can't be reversed or something. XD thanks for your comment btw!

Wahahah wheeee all of us are pimping trad mediums all of a sudden.

Riku's pose is a bit off... but other than that, nice picture. I squee over the graffiti-ish splashes + nifty colour combo in the BG and *squints* are those hands? XDD
