    Long story short; I felt like designing a keyblade for Mickey Mouse, and I ended up sketching out three different ones.

    Save the Kingdom
    So far I've only finished the first. You know how Mickey's Starseeker ties in with Donald and Goofy's star-themed weapons? I figured I'd make a keybalde for him that ties in with the Save the King/Queen weapons. Designed with Mickey Mouse in mind.

    (I suck pretty bad with Photoshop, I know...)

    I couldn't think of any names for it besides Save the Kingdom, though I feel kind of bad about it, since I believe someone else somewhere already designed a keyblade called Save the Kingdom...

    Berserker Bone
    Pluto-inspired keyblade. Designed with Mickey Mouse in mind.

    Ended up being pretty weird I guess.

    Queen's Ribbon
    Minnie Mouse style keyblade. Designed with Mickey Mouse in mind.

    [​IMG]

    The handle was inspired by Minnie Mouse's dress.

    Treasured Toys
    Toy Story keyblade. Designed with Sora in mind.

    [​IMG]

    Unlike the first three, this keyblade was designed with Sora as the wielder in mind. Couldn't think of a keychain for it, though.

    Destati
    Keybalde inspired by the Awakenig/Dive Into the Heart sections. Designed with Sora in mind.

    [​IMG]

    Got lazy when making this one. Didn't feel like drawing advanced pillars of awakening patterns, so this one is made out of copy/pasted graphics from the game...

    Chain of Memories
    Keybalde inspired by Castle Oblivions interior and exterior. Sora is the intended wielder.

    Capitalist Champion
    Design inspired by Scrooge McDuck (and his money). Sora is once again the wielder I had in mind when designing it.

    Bells of Notre Dame
    Hunchback of Notre Dame (though you could probably guess that from the title).

    [​IMG]

    EDIT: Also, feel free to post any designs of you own. I'll be sure to move them to this first post.

    They don't actually look too bad. I rather like the smoothness of the wing(?) on Save the Kingdom.

    I really enjoy the Winds of the Heart Keyblade. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's really enchanting for some reason...or I'm just a sucker for cool looking keyblades

    Oh my god these are really good! I actually like them all but if I had to choose, I would say the first, second, and fourth keyblades are my favorite. Great designs, especially since they are original and look as if they could really be in the games.

    Thanks to all of you for the kind words. :) I came up with a few more. Here's the first one:

    [​IMG]

    Toy Story keyblade. (They better make a damn Toy Story level for KH3!)

    EDIT: Aaand I just realized I forgot to draw Woody's pattern on the parts that are supposed to be his cloth. Oops... Fixed.

    Another one for Sora. I slapped this one together pretty quickly with images found on the net, because I didn't feel like drawing all those details there are in the Stations of Calling/Awakening/Etc.

    One more for Sora:

    This is the last keyblade design I had sketched out. Probably won't be any more from me in a while, since my exams are being held in the coming weeks. You guys are still free to post any designs of your own.

    I love Save the Kingdom! The others are good too, but they are more like the world keyblades. I think you should make more keyblades like Oathkeeper and Oblivion. They are uber cool. All in all, you did great with designs!!!

    Those are some nice keyblade designs.

    Do you have any more designs coming? :)

    Not really. Was kind of hoping people would participate, but that didn't happen. Got kind of burned out after those 7 anyway.

    EDIT: All of a sudden my thread just rose from the dead. What the...?

    Wow, these are pretty nice, I really like the Toy Story one, it's got the Woody and Buzz design. I think my favorit is Save the Kingdom, I really like the fact that it goes with the design of the "Save the King" and "Save the Queen".

    Well done.

    They all look like they belong in the game, great job!
    I love Save the Kngdom, the wing gives it that really nice touch and the crown which has mickey written all over it. ;D

    My favorite though would have to be Destati, it's so unusual and interesting to look at.

    Wow. These are actually very nice, and seem like they're straight from KH.
    I especially like Treasured Toys. I feel like it integrates the world better than most real Keyblades.

    Good work.

    Since this thread all of a sudden got active again, I've updated the front page with some higher resolution images.

    Can't guarantee I'll have any more designs coming, but I'll see if I can think of something.

    They look even better than they did before.

    I can't wait for any others that you do if you decide to continue. :)

    Wow, these are really amazing.

    I think I'm liking Destati, Chain of memories and Treasured Toys the best.
    Save the Kingdom is really pretty, and I love how the wing looks soo smooth from top to bottom.
    Berserker Bone is cool, I like how you made Pluto's head the handles, and how natural it looks.
    Treasured Toys is absolutlely my favorite. It ties the World of Toy Story to KH, and that's what very few of the keyblades that the creators designed do.
    Well, I think you deserve a round of appluase, cause I love your keyblades a lot! :)
