Adding a note: some of the artwork wasn't scanned because we already have super high quality press release versions of them available in our galleries.

It's all *sniff* so glorious. ;A;

 

[Zephyr]

I hope you guys enjoy the pages I scanned!

Is that...Is that the official art of Final Xion?!? FINALLY! After all these years I can get a clear view of her design.
These scans are amazing.

 

[ShardofTruth]

Thank you Zephyr, that's just great.:biggrin:

 

[KairiSakura03]

Never got a good look at the final version of Xion as well; really glad I get to see it and realize it looks much more like Sora, neat.

 

[Mason Stark]

Thank you, Zephyr!! This is so amazing omg ;A;

It's really nice to finally see concept art of Xion's final form~ (//sob XION ;____ And the battle portraits for TAV are awesome lulz. I wonder why they didn't use the damaged portraits D:

GUYS ISA HAS GOLD EYES IN HIS CONCEPT ART

I thought he had golden eyes before in the concept artwork released before... o.o
BUT DEM EYES STILL~ :redface:

 

[Nazo]

Thank you Zephyr! Finally have a really high quality shot of the 2.5 art without the logo or anything on it. And surprisingly, I can't even see the page texture when it's zoomed out. I had no such luck when I tried to scan mine. Awesome!

This Ultimania is friggin sweet you guys. I've had mine for a while now and it's so worth the import. I've actually looked through many many KH art galleries, this website included, and almost all the concept art, character art, world art, and renders ever made from the series are in this book. Not all of them are in the art section though. Stuff like character art and renders are mostly found alongside character descriptions in the Profiles section of the book. Same applies to world concept art in the World section. But I kid you not, I can probably count on two hands the number of KH artworks that AREN'T included in this.

BUT DEM EYES STILL~ :redface:

Surprisingly enough, he doesn't have golden eyes in the concept art included in the BBS Ultimania. He had green eyes!

 

[Zephyr]

I double checked my book and Isa's eyes are definitely yellow and not green. Very strange don't you think?

 

[Sign]

I double-checked my BBS Ultimania as well and his eyes are definitely green.

Somewhere along the lines, the color changed!

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Things have just gotten much more serious concerning Isa. This certainly means that Isa was Nort'd as a teenager and not after he became a Nobody. The implications are too much for my heart to handle.

 

[Soft]

Except we still need evidence if that concept art was carried on to the remix game but personally I think that's just some scrapped concept. I mean, otherwise some gamer would tell us about this earlier I mean this is not some random minor detail.

 

[FudgemintGuardian]

Ahhh, thank you, Zephyr!
Isa eyes were green in the BBS Ultimania...while the new Ultimania has him with gold eyes. This can only mean that Isa was norted when he was a teenager. Or the gold eyes are a printing error.
Wait, the green eyes look kinda funny. Too bright. Looks last minute. Maybe he was going to have gold eyes from the get go, originally.

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

The bright green is because of the quality of the image scan. It's not so bright in the BBS Ultimania. You'll notice that Lea's eyes are about the same brightness from his BBS scan as well.

Except we still need evidence if that concept art was carried on to the remix game but personally I think that's just some scrapped concept. I mean, otherwise some gamer would tell us about this earlier I mean this is not some random minor detail.

Nah, the game wouldn't clarify something like that. Nomura is usually the first place we get clarification then the game will eventually follow suit. They wouldn't switch from green to gold in the Ultimania that is all about recapping fans before KH3 without a reason. And they have people who are supposed to check this stuff before hand.

Thank you guys! It's beautiful.
