Description Xion | Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days © Square Enix & Disney
Drawn with | Derwent 72 Artists Pencils, 0.3 Felt Tip Pen, 2H Lead

Hello all of you people!

Before I say anything else, half of the people that I showed this to in real life thought that the drawing looked like a guy. Well, knowing the canon, I'm not sure whether to be insulted or amused at this. It is rather unintentionally interesting. For added symbolism, note that there are fourteen rays. I didn't find that out until I was actually finished.

Now, this drawing was drawn on the same page as two others, so I had to edit the hair of one of them out, or it would be visible in this picture. The space there looks really empty now. It's a bit weird. If you think it would be better to extend the rays that way, I'd do it.

The inking is getting better, but there are heaps of mistakes still. Let's see if you can spot them.

I think that's all that need to be said.

Work Progress




Cheers!

Hmm, I love this piece, the lighting is just breath-taking and the detail on the key is simply except for the end bit, I have never seen anything like it! (I am fascinated by keys haha ) But um, I think I would like to see a little bit more detail on the person and I will admit that I thought it was a boy at first glance as well sorry, so yes if it is meant to be a girl maybe make slight modifications to make the figure look a bit more womanly? Even if you decide to ignore my suggestion, I still say that this piece is wonderful. Carry on with your beautiful work, God Bless You and have a wonderful day.

Thanks!

I love drawing these keys and keyblades, but nobody in this stupid fandom bothers to draw them properly in proportion and detail. It pisses me off to no end.

Also, what do you mean the end bit?

Yeah, this drawing was intentionally simple and wasn't meant to have as much detail that I usually draw. It wasn't meant to be a proper piece of work, but more of a study, and yet it's the most popular drawing I got.

Yeah, well for me once it's finished I don't touch it, so the drawing is going to stay sexually ambiguous for all time.

And thanks. God bless you as well.

Oh *Waves hands about* pish posh, no thanks needed, I was just being honest. I know right? Keys are awesome, if I didn't suck at drawing them I would try to draw them properly haha. And I don't know what I meant about the end bit, I forget haha. Okay, well isn't it kind of awesome that it is your most popular work? Because it brought fourth a result that was unexpected right? And yeah I know exactly what you mean about that, once I draw something I usually can't do anything else to it, I have a sort of 'take it or leave it' attitude by then. Aw you are welcome and thank you too. Now you have a wonderful evening and God Bless You! x3

Yeah, i\I guess so, but for me, It's annoying in a sense, I've done so much better, yet people don't see it.

Will do. I shall have a good evening.

Oh I totally know what you mean, I have had works up for ages and no one has even commented on them. So don't worry, but I am sure that yours will get more recognition soon. Sorry didn't mean to sound discouraging then, I meant it in a positive way hahaha...Sorry I'm TIRED. -_-' Have a good evening, God Bless.

It does look slightly masculine, but it's really well done besides that. I love the lighting style a ton, I can't pull that off

I think it's the chin. If it wasn't for that, I think all this gender ambiguity will go away.

And Thanks.

LOOOL! When I said it looks like a "guy", what I meant to say was it looks like a little boy xD

I don't see any boobs. >;/

Well think about it.

We are looking at her from the back, so would you still be able to see them? Plus if I drew them from this view, then they'd be implied to be far larger than they are canonically.

I'll try to be. Then again, gender confusion is rife within the fandom as well, so it's actually unintentionally amusing.

Well that may explain it, as some fanart can get a tad feminine at times. Or maybe your dad is really confused.

Rhythm-Wily In reply to Berander [2012-05-16 15:59:42 +0000 UTC]

It would not surprise me if I showed him official art he'd think Roxas was a girl. Maybe it's the face shape.
