These keyblades have cost me [years of] my life. (So when you think about it, no matter how much you pay an artist for their work, the artist ALWAYS gets the shorter end of the deal; I'll quote a movie I saw just the end of once, "The reason Man accumulates so many things in his life is that he hopes just one of them will turn out to be eternal life." Sorry, I don't remember the words he used exactly.)
I was searching for good screenshots for my upcoming greatest-attempt-yet at a Blind Riku cosplay (who will carry a total of SEVEN keyblades! ....somehow ^_x) and came across a page that mentioned somebody donated a really fine looking wooden Ultima Weapon to a charity to auction away on ebay... It fetched over $600!
Mine is certainly different from that one in its own right, particularly coloration and construction method/materials, but I'd like to think that mine might just be as good..........when it's FIIIIINNNNAAALLLLYYYYYYY COMPLETELY finished, that is. x___^]]>Comment by BadArtist2008-02-27T17:22:18-08:00Comment by blind_stranger2008-02-17T09:54:48-08:00They're not for sale, I need them for the Comic-Con still. Though, maybe someday, when I finally get tired of them.... Yeah like that'll ever happen!! lol 0;-)
But they would be really expensive anyway, so is just as well. I been researching how Japanese katanas are made lately, and so far these paper keys really DO take much longer. 0_________o

You can still see what the other Kingdom Key is made of... (same stuff)
I've decided that someday I wanna make a real sword now... Probably wouldn't take nearly as long. ^__x]]>Comment by Marluxia1892008-02-16T14:33:12-08:00Comment by Choco_Chick_872008-02-02T12:59:51-08:00Comment by blind_stranger2008-01-31T14:33:52-08:00Pretty much. ^___^]]>Comment by penguinmaster2008-01-30T07:06:17-08:00
