Sora Strikes

Yay, here is he, finally! Wow, this fella took forever and a day. He started out as a doodle but as I kept going, he got better and better. Tho, his earlier versions are horrid, haha. His hair was a trip. I also made a LOT of mistakes, which I had to go back and fix even after I exported him for the Photoshop treatments.

I tried a few different things with this pic, like the background, some lighting tricks and such. Im not very creative with bgs, so I'd like to thank DA for showing off some extravagantly designed abstract art to inspire me! Props to you Pshop masters, I dont know how you do it.

This pic isnt perfect by any means. I am TERRIBLE with bodies and proportion, so, if he looks off, I appologize. This was an attempt to do a more interesting pose, and it was quite a challenge. I did try my very best to get him correct though. Upon studying the actual official art, Sora's proportions are sort of exaggerated anyways, so I think Im safe. Im especially fond of his face and eyes here, rock! Im really proud of this fella so I hope he was worth the wait!

Total hours: God, a lot, I dont know, I never keep track.
