wait. When did he get here?
nevermind that now.
Anyway, I was happy that he ordered a picture of Cloud Strife, because I've wanted to try drawing him for a while now. I like Final Fantasy VII. Its a bad game, its overrated like crazy, and Advent Children sucked beyond having pretty graphics, but It has a nostalgic value for me. It was one of the very first games I had for Playstation one.
I bet half the people who draw fanart of it now have never even played the original game
I haven't done plain celshading in a while. It was interesting to go back to some older methods. Yea, I know his hands are too small.
I bet this gets a more

s than most of the things in my gallery just because its a fanart of a popular character

It really is a shame that most people will know this from Advent Children and not the real game :/

Might I say though, quite a lovely rendition of him you have here

THANK YOU for pointing that out, I always say that to people and they think I'm stupid! I like FF7 too, but it's too dark to be my favorite.
Yay, FF8. .w .;

kick ass man. Oh, I got an ISO of the game, if ou want the data, or I could get ahold of some poeple who I saw have the game in store.

I know the character, but I've never played the game or seen the movie.
Darn friends who are too into FF and Kingdom Hearts...
