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

Very nice work and very drool worthy!

Thanks, man the jacket details were a long and boring task

I think the time you put into the texture of the jacket was well spent. It is wonderfully done as is the texture of the wall. Texture is my stumbling point.

Thankyou, the wall although takes much more space than the jacket was considerably quicker to do thanks to some custom brushes (and even some of Photoshop's ones

Yes, I was studying that jacket and was thinking if there was some kind of shortcut you could take but couldn't figure it out. It is very well done with each stitch placed right. It is the manual, boring, little details that really makes a work.

Well I'll give a hint - I only drew the patterns in the darker colour, the little highlighted parts were acheived using the "emboss" filter and some amount of blurring afterwards, with the jacket details layer set to "overlay" I think...So I still had to draw all those tiny little lines, but only in the dark, and not again afterwards in the lighter colour as well

Hmmm....sounds like something I'd like to experiment with. I loved how it turned out. Well done.

Does it count if his pants are already off?
I like how you do his hair.

Hmm, I'm not sure - to be honest the title was thought of after it was finished already - normally I think of clever titles before I even start the damn peice

Oh wait, um... Let's do the shirt instead then.

Thanks for noticing all the small details, I put as much into each peice as my sanity will let me

Ch'yeah, he's got it goin' on.
MMMHmm.
'Eyyyy.
DEM ABS.
...That right there dude, is insanely killer detail. Cloud's almost got this Adam Lambert vibe goin' on, kinda interesting to me. It's nice to see you do another tribute to your lookalike character, and dang this is some of the best realism we've seen from you in awhile when it comes to portraits.
Keep it up!

Lol, I thought that last one was Obama (unless it is
Adam Labert definetily has a sex appeal on his own too, I probably should have googled some pics of him since it would have made great reference material but I totally forgot about him until you mentioned the name 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope.
Yeah, he's got a cool look to him. He knows where not to cross the line when it comes to being perceived as "feminine" or something...like he's still got some masculinity in him enough to win over both the girls and the...um, dudes.
But yeah, keep it up! I'm sure they will be someday. :]

Loveit~
By the way, it lookes like he isn't wearing any pants. . . .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh Lala~
So Its a Kilt?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, he only has his jacket and gloves on by the looks of it, I didn't consider what would be further down...he could still be wearing his boots but that would mean he had to take them off to get the pants off and then put them back on again
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, Hey, Maybe he really likes wearing boots, just that much, that he has to wear them even while near nude.
Or maybe he is just self-conscious of his feet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, well I love my boots even though they aren't the most comfortable shoes I have 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Don't worry, I love my shoes. I always wear them almost all the time, even though my mom yells at me for wearing them inside...
I don't wear my shoes to bed though...

Yet another great self-portrait, I swear you're getting good at this. Jokes aside, nice work.

Lol, too bad I'm far from being that muscly...seems like too much effort to get there and keep it, so thankfully I have good metabolism

Can i have some of that to go? I don't even like cloud!!!!

Lol, any character can be made likeable when drawn a certain way - even I've faved fan-art from series I don't even care about since the artist made the character look so good
One day I'll draw Squall too, but I think I need one normal fan-art of him before I do any sexy-themed ones

SQUALLPLZ.
YES. GO FOR THE SEXY.

I'd love a sexy art of Cecil Harvey. (Main guy from FF4) but i would need to learn how to draw to get that good.

The jacket looks really good and his blue eyes really stand out. The hair is a given it's always been amazing and beautiful.

Thankyou, yeah the eyes were darker before which looked a little more realistic but later I decided to brighten them up again since it just looked nicer
