-My Deviantart(active)

Something random you should know: I LOVE it when people draw the character's personality is intact(in other words, unchanged)~ it really gives the picture a better feel because they act the same as they were made to be.

A Special Birthday Today<33

LOL not my birthday xD But it's someone else's birthday today and they are very important to me. Only a few people know what I'm talking about xD
But um..yeah xD This person is really special to me~ though all I did for him today was wish him happy birthday xD I'm a little too shy for much else... and I don't want to be obvious.

Anyways, just wanted to post that and um...dedicate a post to him ^^:

Also, I've been noticing the increasing amount of rant posts concerning the originality of KH OCs xDD Ima-chan(FUNimation) and I have been talking for quite a while about this and I've decided to get started with a sort of "movement". It's kind of like a continuation of the failed "KH Revolution" movement I tried to start before xDD But this time I'll make sure to contribute my part by starting it. Or if someone else would like to, you're more than welcome to xDD
But yeah there has been a serious drop in original KH OCs 0__o On this site(or any art site for that matter), it's really hard to avoid criticism if you make an OC so you've gotta be really careful and take time in making an OC that works with the standards set here for originality.
So I was thinking of maybe reviving some of the ORIGINAL KH OCs that have been here for such a long time that haven't been drawn lately...I'll just list some of the ones that I can think of at the top of my head right now xDD(I don't know if mine is included...but these are some of the OCs I'm planning on drawing..maybe some of those that aren't even here anymore).

Riiya- Aragorn1014
Rei- FUNimation
Sayoko- RSRKingdomstars
Sakurie- Fire Fox Sakurie
Takari- KeybladeMewKasa
Kotori- Sora Hanaki
Rika- Cherryshock
Misha- Kokkoii-Matoku
Hikari- Animegirly2
Neveah- iKarebear
Elena- Sefaa3
Faith- MewMewFaith
May- Kazusa
Taiyou- Hikarumi
Sophie- Milkshakess
Noah- UnknownRumors
Komaru- MewMewPudding
Lucy- DetectiveDiva18
Rumei- Jigoku Sakura
Naomi- Harvestmoonluvr
Summer- Khismylife
Roxine- Smartanimegirl
Takara- Midnightqueen
Roxy and Criss- Sonnyparadisewish
Yudai- LunaLei

The OCs towards the end of the list are newer(so I deem). By that, I mean that I've probably not known them for a very long time. But the first few probably up to about Sophie, I think, used to be drawn really often back before Version Vibrant. But do correct me if I'm wrong *nods*
But anyways, that's a list of KH OCs that I know and hopefully will be able to draw over the course of the summer. You guys said you wanted more group piccys, so hopefully this event will give me a chance to give that to you guys =P

Even so, I hope you guys think about this and consider the originality of the KH OCs ^^ And even for those that don't have or know/like KH, just please think about the originality of your character when you make one. Put lots of time into them and make a character that you can be extremely proud of ^^
Take care everyone! And Happy Birthday Hitsoju Soronai(an old code name for this person that I came up with a LOONNNGG time ago last year xD)<3

Final Fantasy X is now over T__T

Hiya everyone!! I just beat Final Fantasy X and the ending was waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too sad T___T I definitely recommend it to those that haven't played it yet! The battles are long and tedious sometimes but eventually you'll get through it and get to watch an amazing ending! *nods*
Now on to KH Re:CoM xD

So...now my updates have officially been set to once a week T__T Gomen ne everyone for lack of activity...but I shall try to as soon as finals and my Spanish play project are over!

My weekend otherwise has been quite busy so far...on friday I went to my friend's house to work on our spanish project and then we went to watch a play and it was hilarious! xD It's called Daddy's Dyin': Who's Got the Will? Yeah...the title already sounds weird =P But it was really funny~!
On top of that, I got to see Terminator Salvation yesterday and it is definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen! ^^ I absolutely recommend it to you all to go see!
Speaking of movies, have any of you seen Star Trek? I've heard that it was good, but I don't really know what it's about ^^:

Well, I've got some work to do so I'll talk to you all later! I'm sorry for not commenting...I really have gotten lazy and busy as well T__T Finals finals finals...*sighs*
Anyways, take care everyone! I love you guys!<3

Um...Rei told me to do this quiz thing? *looks confusedly at it* (and post below this one!)

Rules:
1. You must choose only ONE of your OCs. Do it again if you wanna use another OC.
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.
3. Title the journal as "OCs Quiz (your OCs name)".
4. When you're done, tag as many people as you want.
5. Have fun!!!

1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
*waves* My name is Kawazoe Riiya! Riiya, for short~ ^^

2. Interesting... what's your current age?
Um...15.

3. Uh huh. What's your favorite food?
Hm...well I'm not exactly like Pooh..he'll eat anything with the word honey in it(especially honey). Ehm...I'm not so sure ^^;

4. And your favorite drink?
I'll try anything!(Except that salty lemonade stuff that Aerith tries to give Leon *shivers*) But um...I don't really know many of the drinks here yet ^^:

5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?

6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?
Ehhhhh???! *turns really red and turns away so not to show face*

7. Classic question! What's your favorite colour?
*shows necklace pendant* This blue color! Though I love all colors in general!

8. Who's your favorite author?
I don't know but...Christopher Robin did have some books that I got to read while I was in the Hundred Acre Wood! Something about A-B-C's and Twys-tymes...oh! And a place called Brazil! I wonder if there are other worlds called Brazil out there....

9. Now what's your biggest fear?
Seeing anything bad happen to the ones I care about and not being able to stop it. *gulp* And the Heffalumps and Woozles that Pooh and the others always talk about...though I've never seen one ^^:

10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing *bursts out laughing* Sorry. Any siblings?
H-Hey! That's not funny you know!! Would YOU want to see your friends and family get hurt?! That's not very nice at all! Hmph!
And no, actually. I don't seem to have any memory of who my parents were or anything. Though I do consider Pooh and the others my family *grins*

11. Almost, it's only twenty questions. Who's your hero?
*blushes at the thought* Ahm...well..a-anyone kind enough could be me hero!

12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?
Anyone that threatens my friends and family. Don't think I can't be tough when I need to be.

13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
I don't think he'd- *covers mouth* I-I mean, I wouldn't consider that person to be my hero anymore if they got together with someone really evil!

14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
I have no idea...ask them where I could discover my memories?

15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
*sighs* I don't know. I just want to go home again and have everything be peaceful while staying with my friends and everything.

16. What's your worst nightmare?
My worst fear coming true.

17. What's your lifelong dream?
To go back to my home and discover my memories so I can find out where I came from and who my parents were...and maybe siblings if I have any. But I just want everyone to be safe and happy again!

18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?
Go to sleep under the tree at the Starry Hill knowing that everyone is safe ^^

19. Ok, where's your favorite place to relax?
I love going to the Starry Hill at night and looking at the stars but I also love sitting on top of Owl's house porch or in a tree looking up at the sky and watching the clouds ^^

20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?
I do whatever the situation calls for *nods, determined* but mostly traveling on my own or with friends. If I can, I'll sing to myself and draw whatever I see.

I tag Sakurie-chan(Fire Fox Sakurie), Sayoko-chan(RSRKingdomstars), Komaru-chan(Mewmewpudding), Elena-chan(Sefaa3), Kotori onee-chan(Sora Hanaki) and Rika-chan(Cherryshock)

Hiya everyone!! Sorry I haven't really been posting ^^:;; I've just been wrapped up in so many things since AP testing is offically OVER! A lot of it has been catching up on Maplestory xD and DRAWING!<3 But studying is always included *sighs* of course...
But!! Enough of the negativity~ look on the bright side! School ends in a little over 2 and a half weeks! ^^ I can't wait!!<3333

Oh and thank you so much everyone that commented on my mini poll below!! I'm so sorry I haven't returned the favor to comment on you guys's stuff T__T I shall have to soon! *nods*
Not to mention, the results of the poll were that you guys really wanted to see more of my own art rather than art of other people mostly, so I'll work more on showing you guys my own art then ^^ I'm glad you guys said that as well because my sister says that I spend too much time drawing people that aren't my characters xD I disagree, because I love drawing you guys's characters, but even so, if you all think I need to show more of my characters, I'll do that! ^^

Yesterday was really busy 0__o Two birthdays, one after another literally! I was out from 12pm to 10pm! Really busy but also fun! Lots of games, some swimming and even some movies =P The food was great at both parties too! I had some Indian and Chinese food ^^ Not take out, they were both homemade(delicious<3)~!

Anyways, I hope you all have been doing well!! *huggles you all* Please stay happy and strong, there's only a little more school left to go! ^^ Take care everyone!!

Hiya there everyone~ this is REALLY short because I just have a question I want to ask you guys...(and I asked it before, but only got 3 responses LOL)

What would you guys like to see me draw more of?
A)My original/fan characters (ex. Riiya?)
B)Canon art (from a series- ex. Kingdom Hearts, Shugo Chara, Final Fantasy etc?)
C)Group art with or without my OC? (ex. A bunch of Kingdom Hearts characters belonging to some of you guys?)
D)Art that deviates from what I usually do (ex. A landscape painting/drawing, something scary/horrifying?, etc?)
E)Traditional pencil art
F)More CG and/or colored pencil art

Just a random question xD LOL I just would like to know what you guys think about this is all. ^^: Hope it's not too much to ask!
Oh and the wallpaper is made by the amazing KeybladeMewKasa =P Thanks Kasa-chan for making a simple wallpaper!(sometimes, the wallpapers get a BIT too elaborate for use nowadays..)
Take care everyone!
