Description A follow up fanart of Cloud to match my Sephiroth: Dawn picture.

(couldn't think of a good background because the sword was too distracting)


Studied a bit of Turner's works along with Sargent Singer's portraits for this piece.
Btw, the lighting is complete bullshit. It is just to help sell the face.


15 hours, all photoshop. Enjoy


hmmm what should i do next....Tifa or Vincent....

this is sweet, but i think his face may be a little to long, that may must be me but other than that sweet work.

Dude, you have some skills.... nice work. The only thing is that the sword seems to rest a little too lightly on his shoulders. Maybe I'm just crazy but that's just the vibe I get from it. Cheers!

The only thing I don't like is the lack of detail in the handle of the sword I think it's just because you did so marvelously on the rest of it thought =3

good stuff a few crits tho (hope you dont mind): his wolf button thingy on his chest would be in complete shadow but its being lit with some unknown light source like its glowing, and also it doesn't look like he's clutching his sword. With that kind of hand position it looks like that heavy sword would just slide right out of his grasp...
