All the world's a gamble, as far as a King's concerned.
So Styx wanted me to upload these so she could see them, which is... pretty much the only reason why the first two are up here. I really dislike them, conceptually speaking. It's just a headswap between Aoko and Cassis and then Jing and Kid, and I didn't even modify the stylistic elements enough to make them look that different -- Jing looks almost identical to Kaito, and normally I at least try to avoid that.
I was intending to play with the idea of how Kaito and Jing would be if they'd grown up in each other's universes, respectively (thanks to webscape), but I haven't gotten very far with developing said idea, which is probably why these pictures have absolutely zero creativity. At the very least, I need to change the outfits, since there's no way the characters would wear the exact same thing as their counterpart, since they wouldn't have the exact same story behind them and don't have the exact same personalities either; I want the outfits to reflect the person behind them more.
Not to mention I was at a show at the time (listening to this lovely lady, incidentally), so I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing, so the artistic quality is shot too. AND I had almost zero reference, because the two volumes I happened to grab (Case Closed #30 and Jing #7) wound up being the ones where both Kid and Jing are only in their usual outfits for maybe two pages. D<
ALTHOUGH I DO LIKE THE DOODLES AT THE BOTTOM, which are ones that I cut out of my mini-sketchbook before giving it to my sister, so have a look at those if you like. Points to whoever recognizes the scene from the upper left corner. Allister is from the KH epic Adam and I came up with that is now never getting written, but I'm still looking for somewhere else to use him because I love the little bastard and he's surprisingly fun to draw. The girl in the bottom right is a quick cartoon doodle of an actual girl I saw on Canada Day last year (or maybe it was BC Day?), and I just liked her outfit. And then there's just a random Jing.
Incidentally, the scribblings on the Aoko picture are lyrics (and a quote) from the first performer at the cafe who went before Kaya. I didn't catch her name; unfortunate because she was pretty damned good.
