... MERLIN-SAN I LOVE YOU. *full view please*

Re-uploaded - I was having trouble with it.

The concept of this wallpaper - which I do adore - took forever and a day (translation: a day) to think of. I found this scan - Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee by angelpup1419 - some time ago, and was like "OMG, MERLIN YES PLEASE!" and decided I would do something with it. Originally, I was going to vector the whole scan, then when I began I was like I'll do Cid and Merlin, but, somewhere along the road, Cid and Merlin became Merlin. I finished the Merlin vector yesterday (which I had started the day before that, two days ago) and was satisfied with it. It just took me forever to figure out what to do with him, once I scratched both Squall and Cid out of the scan.

So here it is, the final version! I'm very pleased with how it turned out: Merlin all cranky and like "PRACTICE SORA, PRACTICE NOW!" ... So, the little symbols above the "Practice" are the symbols of Sora's main magic abilities... save the gravity one. I didn't know what to do for that, but added an epic Mickey head. BECAUSE KING MICKEY IS SO AMAZING.

Inspiration: Kingdom Hearts and Merlin (for being so awesome), and I listened to "My Idea of Fun" from The Swan Princess.

And... the whole project took about three days and ended up much more basic than I'd planned, but I like it. The background that is in grayscale is just part of the original scan that I stored there to make it look like Merlin was on the manga page and jumping out. Everything else is hand done/vectored/painted (I painted over Merlin a little bit), save the light texture I used from Hybrid-Genesis.

So thanks for the watching! Comments/favorites adored! This is the first of my planned three Kingdom Hearts wallpapers. One of them is of Daisy, and the other of Sora, Donald, Goofy and Scrooge with the famous sea-salt ice cream!

Sankyuu for the support ~
