Description
Normally I don't upload anything within minutes of finishing it, but I'm just eager to get something up here during a dull moment
So it's been over a year since the last time I drew Cloud and I thought I'd just remind myself and everyone else that I still like him, and for the first time I wanted to go for a "sexy" mood rather than a "serious" one, since Cloud can't be miserable all the time, especially when he looks like that, and I know some fans love this sort of stuff too so here's a li'l pressie for them especially, hope ya like it 
Detailing is what took the longest here, a few hours at least on the cottony like texture on his jacket alone. The rest was relatively quicker than usual for my character illustrations, hopefully because I'm getting better, but maybe just because there's no much content here. Still, at least its better than my other Cloud drawings
EDIT: 25,2,2012 - This has been edited several times before but this is the most recent. Improved his abs, changed hair at the front, added a leather collar around his neck

yummmmm...this certainly justifies your username *drool* any chance of a "sequel"?

Lol, thanks. I gotta draw pretty boys at least once in a while, if I could draw human characters a bit faster and easier I'd even do it more often
No sequels for a while, not sure what I'm gonna do next

Jacket texture looks great... And I think you just killed some 30 teenage girls due to heart attack.

Very nice work! I'm especially loving the hair

Lol, you don't have to be a fan of something to appreciate a sexy art of it

um.. well... mm... yes!
uh [sweat].. simple answer to simple question: I "like" like.
The jacket is beautifully done.
He does look a bit stiff [no pun intended], not quite lifelike, despite his sculptural excellence. I'm still not sure why. Possibly it's the way the muscles meet the elbow joint at the front and side of the arm. mm.. a bit action figure. [I'd definitely like to some action with this guy. pun intended 
The hair looks the way it shOUld look.

I think I still need to get more comfortable with drawing people, they don't "flow" as well as my landscapes since I'm inexperienced with them by comparison, indeed my painting process did feel pretty stiff and restricted much of the time
But at leats the hair is good, it would be crinimal of me if I couldn't at least do that

The hair was more than "good".

please remove "to" from the front of "some action". We still can't edit replies with dA software Mk. VII?

My thought process while looking at this pic was, "Wow, the lighting is really nice. His hair looks great and the detail on the jack is awes-HOLYHELLHE'SNOTWEARINGPANTS."

I love his face! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think this is the best face I've drawn so far, and hopefully they'll get better.
Yeah, I think the pecs are too wide, hopefully not by a ridiculous amount, I guess it looks like they'd continue further under the jacket but when I drew the body first they practically ended where the jacket started

You've got a lot of room to improve, so you just have to keep getting better and better.

The best part about this is the clothes, I've never seen fabric done so well

Thankyou, the fabric was probably the most time consuming part

Nice to see so much effort, devotion, and skill put into art, and being shown too
I hope to do it some day, I just suck at the moment.

Amazing pic!!!!!!!
Even if I didn't avoid semi-fainting
Thankfully,you didn't make it mature-content.
But other than that you've shown great progress comparing to your past pics
It is very detailed and it describes very well how the expression of someone with a lot of lusty thoughts in his head would be like.Personally,I'd like to see him once with an innocent smile,when your plans will be around him again.
Hope it's not a sign of losing innocence,because,if it is..........I have to start worrying.......
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, well you can't expect him to stay a virgin forever, but I don't like drawing mature content in art anyway, I suppose I would for a commission so long as it wasn't too extreme, but I wouldn't do it on my own - this is as much as we need to see - the rest can be left to the viewer's imagination
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't say that he has to stay like that forever!!!!!>.<
It's just that it was somehow a surprise to see it coming up that soon!(yes...I'm still daydreaming....I know I have to wake up but somehow something tells me to stay a little bit more....)
That's good.After all,no matter what the issue is,as long as it's not bothering the viewer's eyes and shows something good it's been acceptable.And the way you put it is not bothering.So,I guess it's fine by me.^-^

I don't usually read all the comments but I couldn't help it with this one. So many ppl drooling (okay I momentarily had the problem myself)! Your such a great artist, the details blow me away. I would fave but I don't want my daughter to see and ask why he isn't wearing pants ><;; Random thought just occurred to me, wonder what Zidane would look like realistic...and how would you go about making a monkey tail look completely part of someone. *ponder*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The more I like a deviation I see, the more likely I'm going to read the comments too - I seek those who have the same reaction as me
I know someone else who loves Zidane, not sure if or when I'll draw him, if it were something as...suggestive as this though I would have to make him more mature looking, since to me he kinda looks like an early-teen still and I wouldn't feel comfortable drawing that
A tail I think would be pretty easy to make like part of the character though, its like the opposite to a rat's tail - instead of a furry body changing into a fleshy tail, it would be a fleshy body blending into a furry tail

Too yaoi for my liking

Lol, it would only become yaoi if there was another guy in there, and for now I can only be bothered drawing one character per-peice

lolz, i see your point there ha!
fair enought about the multiple character thing

haha I understand what you say, when you are eager to submit someting, somtime it's so tempting
haha awesome work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, yeah - normally I keep my work for a few days before submission just in case I notice something needs to be changed or added (since I really hate having to edit works once they're submitting, since then I have to re-add my signature and watermark and re-upload it again etc - it can take as long as the damn edit itself sometimes
