Kingdom Hearts OCT: Dark

I never want to shade again. @_@ (And, clearly, this is my first attempt at shading. Sorry in advance for the general suckiness of it. XP)

EDIT: Disregard the above, please! A twisted ankle put me in a cranky mood when I posted this. Anyways, on to the theme! Clearly, it's a literal interpretation of "Dark", i.e., night time, but I hope the feeling comes across more as "lonely" than "dark and evil". It's just supposed to be a quick snap shot of Aryn being *gasp* homesick?! I think it turned out decently compared to how I'd pictured it, but still. I never want to shade again. XPPPP

Oh, and any weird streaks are probably from the painter's tape I used for the white ink; apparently it lifted off all my hard-done pencil gradients. I tried to fix what I could with Photoshop, but... XP

City lovingly (and painstakingly) referenced from: [link] (Coloring this didn't seem to make it look any better than the WIP; sorry! It's such a beautiful photo, too! ;A; )

Painstakingly shaded using a 2B pencil, a black Prismacolor pencil for the sky, and white ink and a toothbrush for the stars.

Done for the Dark merit for the
