[::: At the edge of Edge ::: Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children ::: Cloud Strife ::: FANART :::]

It's Cloud! ... frikkin ... again. But wrot, colour and a background? Madness.

Such an exhausting picture to do ... but enjoyable all the same. It's no secret that i'm not used to digital stuff, painting, or even colour, so this is all new to me! Of course, with it being a new thing for me, i had to choose to do something i was at least somewhat comfortable with on my first "big" pic ie, something iactually but a bit of time into.

BUT, as much as its cloud and im comfortable with it, if you took away the hair and the sword it could be anything really. So on that basis i figured it didnt matter too much - i dont specialise in colour and backgrounds so i didnt want to make it TOO hard a challenge by having to design something competent at the same time. I'd have lost interest and faith in it and never finished it.

But all the same, i'm pleased with it, if not primarily because at many points i thought "bah, thatll do" but i kept going on it. And with a lot of help and input from my wonderful partner !Tifasjk i kept going with it!

In a lot of ways, i prefer the original sketch that i did, which can be found here : [link] , If not primarily because it only took about 30 - 40 mins, whereas this took more like ... 8 hours. But i learnt a lot doing this, and itll mean ill be sticking to digital a lot more now i feel comfortable with it. I cant promise an end to FFVII stuff (as much as it annoys me), and as much as it seems like an excuse, its not blind fandom, i do actually try and study the universe and its graphical terminlogy and so forth.

Enough prattling! hope you like, please, any positive or negative feedback is welcomed and desired! I'm new to this so, bear that in mind! All comments welcome and appreciated!

(ps, Edge is the name of the reforming Midgar in Advent Children. And also i know that the bike isnt 100% accurate, but the whole pic is unreferenced! I did a lot of studies in the days previous of the bike and the sword in AC)

Thank yew =zilowar for mah awesome icon
Awesome. It's nice to see the extra effort employed also. Looks like it turned out well. The heavy contrast suits it, in my opinion. ^^

*hugs* well! what can i say that i haven't already said to you!

it's very hard for me to comment when i've basically done so on msn!

I really like this picture and it has come out very well!, the background really looks great, and I really like how you've done the sword! (and the whole picture too of course!), you've managed to put in so much detail too! even adding little bits such as the red cable right at the top of the picture and things (that bit actually reminds me of a bit in FF7 where you see the big AVALANCHE thing and have to climb that pole!)

Great picture cutie!, *huggles*, very proud of you!, really like the skin tones you've used as well, I find skin tone to be the hardest thing ever =(

how can drawing FF stuff annoy you!, FF is just..great!

*hugs* Love you :heart:
awesome pic

The hair to the left of his face is a little too big in my opinion. VERY WELL done since it is unreferenced however.
