When I entered in 's Franchise Remix contest, one of the ideas I did consider drawing for the contest was the four girls from RWBY drawn how they would in the series, Kingdom Hearts. Since I was chosen as one of the artists for Wizard World Chicago and I learned that the four leading voice actresses were going to be guests there, and the sixth season of RWBY is going to start soon, and since Kingdom Hearts 3 is finally coming out soon (I AM SO FUCKING STOKED IT'S FINALLY COMING!), I thought this would be a cool and unique piece of art for people to buy and maybe have the actresses autograph for fans. I wanted to add some Kingdom Hearts Elements to their coordinated colors, like red for the flower petals, black and white for the chessboard pattern that is seen a lot especially for the Nobodies and Organization XIII and yellow for the moon. Speaking of, I thought it would be cool to combine the heart shaped moon with the broken up moon.I imagine that the four girls are all keyblade wielders who are also apprentices under Ozpin, and travel to many different Disney worlds as a team to help off fight the Grimm, a new species of monsters who are fighting along side the heartless. But soon discover that Salem and her servants are capturing disney princesses who are revealed to be the four maidens in order to plunge the worlds into darkness.Since Kingdom Hearts is tied to Disney, I wanted to over exaggerate parts of their outfit to make it more cartoony, and I went nuts with zippers and belts, which is common in Tetsuya Nomura's character designs. It was hard trying to make keyblades out of their weapons, especially Yang's. If you look closely at their keyblades' keychains, it is actually their emblems.For Ruby, I wanted to make her outfit a little more lotita-esque since she is based on Little Red Riding Hood and a nod to how so many fairy tales originated from Germany. So I went nuts with large bows (The one on her corset makes the hood and cape look like the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella), poofy sleeves, ruffles, and cute black bloomers (kinda similar to Minnie Mouse is often shown wearing). For her keyblade, I took some inspiration from the scythe Marluxia fights with and tried to make the front look more like a key. I also made the shape of her boots similar to Sora's and her hair similar to many of the female KH characters like Kairi and Aqua.For Weiss, I wanted to go more princess like and gave her a big glittery petticoat that looks similar to a ballet tutu and a bow tied in the back, and a zipped up strapless dress similar to Kairi's outfit in the second game. I thought it would be cool for her to have the power to use magic as her keyblade hovers, like when Sora is in the wisdom form or how Aqua fights. And made her magic powers similar to both Donald Duck's magic in the game, Aqua from Birth By Sleep, and Elsa from Frozen. I tried to incorporate the snowflake shape into her rapier to make it resemble more like a key. For the hair piece, I changed it to a scrunchy with blue crystals. I kept the boots similar, but added zippers, a crystal, and a pointed toe, similar to Aqua's shoes. For her hair, I went with more of a curly cue flow so it can go with the flow of her magic and I was inspired by Aerith's design in the games.For Blake, I was not sure if I should show her cat ears or not. So I decided to incorporate cat like designs to her outfit, like the choker with the bell on it (get it? Cuz it sounds like Belle, since she is based on Beauty and the Beast), and tried to make it look like her keyblade has cat ears, since her ears are hidden by the hair bow, which I wanted to look big and cartoony, like the one Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck are seen wearing, and I added more purple to the outfit to contrast Yang's outfit. I decided to change the detached sleeves to a pair of opera gloves to go with the vest with coat tails. Also like her weapon in the show, I added long purple ribbons to her keyblade. I really liked the boots she wears after the time skip, so I added that because I can add extra belts to her design.For Yang, I wanted to give her some elements that were similar to Ruby's (like the big poofy sleeves), since they are half sisters, but have more bandana knots instead of bows. I changed the sheer fabric that is around her waist to a pale purple to add more contrast to the yellow, kind of similar to the draped fabrics in Aqua's outfit. Her keyblade was the most difficult to design and still make it similar to the Ember Celica, but then I though how about her keyblade is able to break apart and has an extra handle where the key's teeth are, so the teeth and the handle can act like brass knuckles.I will be debuting this print at Wizard World Chicago.
