Older Riku with keyblade armor for Riku day!!!

[purely-hearted]

Been having a great time designing Keyblade Armor for my Foreteller OCs. Big fan of animal masks in any context

Individual images under cut!

My concept of what Keyblade armor for Sora could look like. He's Kingdom Key colors :)

Took me only two tries to get it to look right! I struggle with armor so I’m really proud of myself

Hey How are you? I have many questions and those that I commented on other channels but it seems that no one has seen them. I'd like to start with a simple question: How on earth did Aqua, Ven, and Terra get their armor back in Re-Mind? I mean, Aqua's armor was in the Chamber Of Repose.

Hi!! Great question! Even though it's simple, here are three long-ish answers LOL

Ventus's armor:

So in general it seems their armor is activated by the buttons on their arms, right? And Ventus always had his button in the Chamber of Waking. So I think it's safe to say Ventus never lost the ability to activate his armor. If we're talking about the DDD scene within Sora's heart, in my opinion this seems more abstract and poetic, not Ven's literal armor. The reason I say this is because the Sora it protects is more along the lines of Sora's heart, since his real body was in still in the Mysterious Tower. But this is just my personal interpretation!

Terra's armor:

In Remind, we see Terra's armor fade away, and Terra-Xehanort sends time traveling Sora to darkness. But later we see Sora going to Terra's heart for refuge, with past Sora just now restoring Terra for good. So in my opinion, after the Lingering Will faded away, it would have been possible for Terra-Xehanort to summon it if he had pressed his shoulder button (though whether or not it obeyed him is a different story). But since Terra regained himself in KH3, any time he wanted to summon the armor again, I think he would have been able to, even later during the major battle with the replicas.

Aqua's armor:

Aqua's armor, like you said, was in the Chamber of Repose which is located beneath Ansem's lab. Now that Ansem, Even, Ienzo, Dilan and Aeleus have all regained themselves, I imagine they offered Aqua her armor back off screen, (though, clearly, it had to be repaired since it was in terrible condition by the time of KH2) probably either around the time of the beach party OR right before Limit Cut, since Aqua can't go into the Realm of Darkness without it. Aqua probably remembers Radiant Garden, so it's possible (if she has her own gummi phone) she contacted the lab herself to ask about it. Of course, none of this is confirmed, I'm just assuming.

Ienzo in particular was possibly aware of Aqua's armor being in the Chamber of Repose, since Xigbar asks Zexion about Xemnas "talking to himself" in the chamber and why. I personally think this plot thread will return in the future, since we finally know about Xemnas's secret agenda that Xigbar also asked Zexion about. If Ienzo later informs the Guardians of Light that Xemnas was gathering those with the Ancient Keyblade Legacy, he may mention that he was using the armor to communicate with Aqua so he could find Ventus, like we see in 0.2.

I hope this helps!!

Riku won the poll for whose armor I should draw on twitter--a lot of heart and wing motifs tossed in there, also a little extra armor to protect and stabilize his bad wrist

Ran a poll on Twitter for what to design this weekend, and Isa/Saix’s Keyblade armor was one of the winning options (tie) 

It’s built for more hand-to-hand combat and slamming into opponents than usual armor of the sort
