Colouring WIP: 'Give her your heart...' pt. 1

Original at [link]

Mostly just getting the flats in, although I did decide to have fun with the wispy darkness bits, which I decided might as well resemble fire for reasons that are somewhat spoilery. That's also why I decided to have a dark yellow background instead of a purple one.

For those not familiar with all the characters in this pic, they are, from left to right:

Panel 1: Shadow Heartless #1 (Kingdom Hearts), Heartless!Machi (Hunter x Hunter), Shadow Heartless #2
Panel 2: Kuroro (Hunter x Hunter), Raven (Teen Titans), Dr. Strange (Marvel Comics)

The Heartless are Heartless.

Machi is a member of the most ridiculously deadly gang of bandits in any setting I've ever seen (and has an almost-canon crush on Kuroro).

Kuroro is the leader of the aforementioned gang of bandits (and has a non-canon crush on Machi in our mainverse HEROES of Might and Madness setting).

Raven is canonically a teenage superhero (but has by this point retired from that to be one of Dr. Strange's apprentices, because superheroics are in much lesser demand when 95% of the population have superpowers, are badass, or both).

Dr. Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme (i.e., most powerful mage in the world) and also technically a superhero (and also the closest thing we have to a Big Good in this series).

Now, you might be wondering why Kuroro is having a nightmare about Machi getting turned into a Heartless. You might also be wondering why in the world someone like Dr. Strange is letting someone like Kuroro crash on his couch. Sadly, the answers to both those questions are long, spoiler-ridden stories.
