KH SoD Trio - Cephiro

So.

In my Kingdom Hearts fanfiction, Shards of Darkness, I've added a ton of worlds that don't necessarily have to do with either Final Fantasy or Disney. Why? Because KH is a perfect fodder for crazy cross-overs...and you can easily get away with it, too. But, with some of the worlds I've added, there are some costume changes - and I've added one new costume change that was not in the original game, Agrabah.

Cephiro is actually the first world my trio ends up in that requires the costume change. It is Cephiro from CLAMP's Magic Knight Rayearth series, and it'll be a doozy.

I had a lot of fun designing CLAMP-inspired costumes. Sora is kind of "eh" to me, especially since I had to add those goofy yellow shoes. But lets face it! Sora just isn't Sora without his giant yellow shoes, now is he? ;D

In each of these costume changes, I'll be displaying Sora with the Keyblade/Chain that be obtains within these worlds. Because really, who keeps the Kingdom Key throughout the entire game? Unless you're seriously hard-core, that is. The one he is wielding is designed by yours truly (god, why are designing Keyblades so hard?!). It is titled "Sad Fate" and represents the sorrowful fate and destiny of Emeraude and Zagato. The lighter half is Emeraude, and the darker half is Zagato, and I tried to take aspects of their designs in mind when I designed this. You can't see it, but behind Sora's back the two sides become intertwined and switch sides, which is why you see Zagato's colors on (our) left on the handle, and then on the right on the blade. It boots both physical and magical powers (magical by a landslide). *nods* Sora gets it AFTER Emeraude is killed by him and the Magic Knights.

Cephiro becomes unavailable after that. Sadness.

And yes, all of the characters here ARE displayed at their proper height differences. Ashi may seem tall, but then again she's dealing with a bunch of young-teens (well, Shidou isn't but she looks like one). Ashi's only 5'4" I'm somehow amused that Sora is perfect boob-height on Ashi.

It's unshaded because I would've killed myself if I had.

Sora's Design here does belong partially to me.

These images are traced from references. Sora is...from Sora; Ashi (the middle one) is from Aerith, and Shidou (the far right one) is from Yuufie. This is uploaded into the scraps so as not to breach the ToS...plus these designs are totally unfinished, lulz.)
