Description
Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. This is supposed to be set between the first Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories when Kairi's waiting at Destiny Islands for Sora and Riku to return. In his picture she's probably wondering where they are.I've wanted to do a proper Kingdom Hearts fanart for a while. Kairi was really fun to draw. She's not that great a character, but I just love her design, then again I like Tetsuya Nomura characters in general.
Did the lines in pencil some time ago one night when I couldn't sleep. Colours are all Photoshoped. Background was lazyly done cuz I'm soo bad at them. I din't use any references, so sorry if there are any mistakes in her outfit.

Thanks! I'm happy to hear you like it. When I did it I wanted to make her look like the same character and not someone "dressed" as her, so glad I'm you think so.

ThatΒ΄s good. Her navel is cute. You draw her such a cute bellybutton. ItΒ΄s cute how her bellybutton gets exposed under her shirt.

I love love LOVE how you draw faces. Kairi looks so pretty, and I don't even really like her. XD There's not much depth to her character. She's like Daphne from Scooby-doo. Pretty, but generally useless and always the kidnapping target.

Yeah, so true! It's like she's only there cuz the main guy needs someone to rescue and give him motivation. And thanks!
