KH - Shading Sunset V2

Kingdom Hearts? Intentionally tried to make it look like a screen shot from a cut scene xD

KH - Shading Sunset V2 Edit:
After receiving a growing number of complaints on the blurryness of the picture, I did a new render without the blur. I hope you like it! The old image with the blur can be viewed here: [link]
In addition to that, I've also tweaked the colors alot, so now its rather a pink gradient of the sun instead of a "in-ur-face orange"
There is still a lot more which needs to be fixed (see list below), and I will take them into account till my next render of Sora Thank you for the comments and favs so far! ^^ KH rules!

Quest
I've decided to continue on my conquest to finish my Sora model, _AND_ find the secret and technique behind Square Enix's shading method.

I want to try to get as close as possible to archive the same look, through a lot of study of references and testing. It might take a while, but I'm determined to reach that level ^^

Any comments, tips and critics are welcome! Please tell me ANYTHING that can be improved, I need the feedback if I'm going to progress and learn!
