This is a fan art of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit as a Kingdom Hearts character.
For those who don’t know, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was a cartoon character created by Walt Disney before Mickey Mouse. Oswald was well-received at the time, but Universal somehow got hold of his copyright. Walt had to create a similar character, which was Mickey Mouse.
Oswald is a predecessor/the older brother of Mickey. But in a way, he shared the same soul as Mickey, only in a different body. I think this is similar to the relationship between Sora and Roxas in Kingdom Hearts 2, so I gave Oswald dual key blades in this picture (apparently this is incompatible with the world buildings after KH2).
At the time when I was drawing this picture, the Disney company managed to take back Oswald’s copyright from Universal. They hired Warren Spector, a well-known video game developer for DeusEx, to make a video game called Epic Mickey featuring Oswald as a key character. But the game and its sequel did not perform very well. Judging from the record, one would say Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is actually a pretty unlucky one.
