Description I'm leaving for college soon, tomorrow actually, and I've been quite bored lately. So that's why I drew this. No idea how this came to my mind, but I needed something simple to change my mind. With the packing all done, I was about to go nuts by sitting there and doing nothing. Instead of starting a game of FF7 that I couldn't finish, then I drew this.

Ok, Rufus was boring to color. And Dark Nation as well. I found a way to keep my white clean, and it helped.

Since I don't exactly know what kind of specie Dark Nation is supposed to be, I took some liberty with the anatomy.

And if you're wondering, they're in Junon. Rufus is (not so patiently) waiting to get his title of President.

Rufus-sama and Dark Nation! Love these two! Sadly, you don't see a lot of art with Dark Nation...

Yes he did seem like a pretty brat, that's about the perfect way to sum him up.

Somebody once told me that about Rufus, and I thought it was the best way to put it

Great work, it's nice to see a non AC Rufus.

Thanks! Even though I like AC Rufus, I still prefer the FF7 one. Just because he seemed more like a pretty brat at the time XD

Youre very welcome! I like it so much since its unlike most pictures of Rufus I find. It shows the side that I usually picture him as.

THIS!

Oh, I do love Dark Nation and Rufus together. He had to have someone to talk to through the hard times and what better than a pet. After all, the rest of his family would suck.

Dark Nation is so pretty. More feline here than you usually see but it is so awesome. Thanks for sharing this piece of artwork.

Blow kiss.

I had no idea how to draw Dark Nation. I'm not exactly sure what kind of creature it is supposed to be. (On a 13 inch TV, hard to see XD)

Too bad he didn't have Dark Nation in AC. I'd love to see it.

Most people draw him moure like a guard hound but I see the feline in it. The pixilated version doesn't help all that much.

I like seeing the interpretation of the animal.

I got one that I had drawn for me (I don't have a problem) [link]

And then I have this little emote too...

....

So, now that I have freaked you out about my obsession ith Dark Nation and Rufus, I shall go hide in a corner somewhere ...

At first I thought it was simply a black panther, until I saw the strange tail-like thing behind its head. So to me, Dark Nation was always kind of feline XD That's why I would have liked to see it in AC, just to truly know what kind of creature it is.

Yeah, it would be nice if they showed Rufus with a new pet when he was in the wheelchair... I like that image!

But alas they did not.

I thought it a panther to. I think it is some sort of mix of the two.

I wish you didn't have to kill it in the game. I just like to think that it was knocked out. Just for my own liking.

Me too! Maybe Kadaj would have understood that messing with Rufus was a bad idea if he had another panther/hound thing by his side.

I also like to think that Rufus keeps Dark Nation longer than in the game. He basically gets off the helicopter and gets his pet killed right away...

It would have been a better body guard than Reno and Rude, that's for sure!

D'awww Rufus. I was quite fond of him, for like, 2 seconds, before he turned out to be a royal brat. A pretty brat though, nonetheless.

I love how you did the wood textures in this~

He annoyed me to no end as well. I found him to be more of a bother than Sephiroth. At least he wasn't making long speeches and hair flips every five seconds. I agree, he's a pretty brat though XD
