"Island Lad" by Matt Herms Pencils+ink sketch, Adobe Photoshop

Kingdom Hearts
Riku

"Some months old (October, 2005?), so recalling the circumstances of the pic now is a bit fuzzy. Bu-u-ut, I do remember that this picture in particular was experimental for me - a warm-up sketch from one morning that was put into Photoshop to test out some new textures that I'd made. It was also a departure in that, when it comes to the KH set, I usually stick to those from a Final Fantasy. This was one of the first times I ever drew Riku - or any of the KH-exclusive cast. "
