SURPRISE, MANDY!
O.K, Let's go straight to the point. I've been babbling too much ABC lately when drawing this.
I know little of Kingdom Hearts actually, only Donald Duck in mind; to be honest. So, I've to start from scratch by researching all about it. While searching for potential images, I came across Riku in anime-type, unlike the common 3-D version. Since its line there are clearer than colours, I came to suggest using pen as outliner in my artwork. (size 0.2 black pen)
Of course, there are many Ruki-related features I want to incorporate into it. But, as I haven't gained much understanding of him yet in a short period of time here, I decided to use prominent items first. On the other way, it seems to be better, <simplification> as I don't want to mess him up
Highlights here are adding the sword details only the hilt, while the love-shaped 'keychain' (is that the word?) blends with the name 'RIKU' written in slightly modified western calligraphy. The 'light' which sprangs up from the alphabet 'I' makes up a candle light, signifying brightness in his heart despite being blindfolded into realm of darkness while in his quest.
Consumed Time: 4 days ahead; 5 hours a day

Materials executed: 6b graphite pencil (for Riku's cloak), 2B pencil, eraser (for bright shades in cloak), tissue (to blend the shades evenly), black pen size 0.2
Problems encountered: My printer was
already spoilt! 
So, I've to draw in front of the computer screen. 
For
health reasons, I have to limit my time to 5 hours....That's why the outcome of
the artwork looks different in size if you flip both the original's and my
doujinshi's images....*sight*~
Anyway, I've deliver my promise to you, Mandy. Sorry very much if it's deviated
from what is suppose to be expected.
I'm always welcome to comments for future improvements. 
Thank you very much!
