Fun With KH Fan-Edits: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Yeah, I'm uploading another MMD picture tonight. I've already made three of these Fun with Fan-Edits pictures tonight; this one, the one with Kairi and Peach, and a third one which I may or may not upload tonight.

Some notes:

- Remember Roxas's apartment from the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2? Well, it turns out that the window is overlooking a little back alley, complete with a road and lampposts (Sora's even running by the building which contains the apartment). It doesn't go on forever, but it's a long enough stretch to use as just a side alley for someone to walk through.

-I've resized the Sora model using the Scale effect; the model is actually twice the size shown here.

-Effects used: Adult Shader on the Heartless, SSAO, and Diffusion. Turns out, it works wonders for making Purebloods more menacing.

-Speaking of Purebloods, I think the Dark Thorn is one of my favorite Heartless bosses in the series. It's one of the few boss Heartless that's a Pureblood Heartless (and isn't some form of Darkside), plus it does fit in thematically with the world it's fought in, Beast's Castle: its first form is a larger version of the Heartless possessing the Gargoyle Knights (and the Thresholder mini-boss); the name and thorns all over its body bring to mind Beast's magic rose; and the thing even looks like a darker, more monstrous version of the Beast, to the point that it even assumes a similar combat stance. Overall, despite being kind of easy, it's an awesome boss, and a nice reminder that the Heartless are supposed to be threatening and scary.

-Originally, Sora was going to be chased by a single Dark Thorn and a HUGE swarm of Neo-Shadows which would be crawling along the sides of the building and the ground. Laziness kicked in, though, and the swarm got axed for an extra pair of Dark Thorns.

-I'd say "Pants to be Darkened" but judging by Sora's expression and the things chasing him, they've already been darkened.

Twilight Town, Sora, and the Dark Thorn are all owned by Disney and Square Enix.
