Description ** EDIT** i'm actually kidding, i liked crisis core- once it got going- and advent children was alright.


DISCLAIMER: views of the fallowing are not to be taken seriously and therefore SAVE THE FANBOY HATE FOR SOMEONE THAT WILL READ IT!

now, gather around children and let me tell you of a magical time. it was 1997........ JRPG's were still relevant and people in America still had jobs yes its true! that year a game came out called final fantasy 7 from a slightly larger gaming company/publisher called square and it was the best game ever and would be a benchmark by which all fallowing games would be compared for years to come. children, let me tell you, it had violence and hookers ( or at least the assumption of hookers ) and black people (or person, rather.) swearing like it was the fucking apocalypse!! and more important it taught us all that corporations are godless killing machines that, left to their own devices, will enslave and kill us all-- and it did it all without being the least bit heavy handed!! < COUGH COUGH> well..... at least the annoying chick died.

anyway, as years fallowed square started running out of ideas, and with the entire staff doing more blow than lindsay lohan, they needed to start making shitty games really, really fast and also start remaking shit that didnt suck for the consoles that are out today with little to no new content. and so they did. in a feat of irony that would rival henry kissinger's hate for all forms of life, square became the very same soulless, shit-spewing, cosplayer-endorsing, twatbiscuits that they set out to destroy = (
( metaphorically, of course)

- FIN-

so that about brings us up to date. you can take a wild guess as to what i thought of crisis BORE and advent........... uhm......... assholes ... but enough of my stupid horseshit, look at the art!

i did this sketch yesterday and decided to color it up to try and get re familiar with my process.

drawn with Sai painting thingamagigger and colored in one of the photoshop cs ( whatever the hell one it is that i have :S
with a wacom tablet!

Ha ha yeah I thought the same thing in the preview. I think it's 'cos there's no shading on Cloud's lower lip that makes it look odd.

This makes me remember, when Cloud was an emotionless bad-ass. Now he's emotionally unsure of himself and needs constant therapy.

One thing I've noticed is that the only thing that surpasses Japan's ability to create innovative ideas for games and cartoons is their ability to take said ideas and then viciously beat them like a proverbial dead horse.

pretty bad ass cloud, it's definitely a fresh look from the usual pretty boy that everyone portrays him to be

everyone just have different taste/opinions, and it may appeal to some and others not

I for one thought they are doing aight , since in the it's really all about what the majority would like/buy and most importantly what would bring in the $$$$

if there was a contest fr most pissed off FF characters ever drawn, I'd totally vote for this Cloud!
And yeah, I too, mourn the death of Square's cool ideas (personally I hate FFXII the most). And just when I thought I could replace my love for FF to love for Resident Evil they made 4 (and 5's probably the same)! AND Fatal Frame is going to Wii only...

SERIOUSLY, game industry, SERIOUSLY!

You know, it's funny to me, cuz i hate FF Games. FF7's storyline was great, but I hated the gameplay. That's why i don't play RPG's. That's why Kingdom Hearts did it for me. Gameplay a,d story is great.

But anyways, great piece, man! I love the highlights and shadows in it.

martinhoulden [2009-03-04 09:25:30 +0000 UTC]

i'm as big a fan as it gets when it comes to ffvii ... and i really wanted the sequels to be good. I loved advent children, but the rest sucked. Square have been badly downhill since Sakaguchi left, Uematsu went freelance and Nomura got a hard on for Disney

I'm still all up for a remake/continuation in theory, if they actually bothered to get the guys in that did the original and kept it true to what it was. That would be impossible though and I doubt theyd achieve it. Through the sylish representational imagery you could overlay in your mind a layer of grit to the characters ... but nowadays they just wax everything up so its all shiny and perfect.

Square dont have the balls anymore. They used to be trend-setters but now theyve defined that trend, theyre quite happy to just follow it over and over. Also, the merger with ENIX seems to have done them no favours ...

ALSO, theres a really famous US comic style pic of FFVII that I had on my wall for years - you dont happento know who did it? Im guessing you do cos all the little tweaks to the costume are in this, and it was in this style

I loved X and 12. I even liked X-2. Thirteen is lookin' great. It'll be a wait, of course. Advent Children would have been great if they had decided to allow gravity to be...well....gravity. Everybody flying around in that movie like they were in the matrix. Looked nice, though.

MichelDinel [2009-03-03 21:11:00 +0000 UTC]

No one should complain about your comments. It is pretty much the truth. Plus they've been using the same character designer since, what, FF8, which makes character which I hear EVERYONE around me complain about (that and my personal theory that making EVERY single thing look fantasy-grandiose-uber-designed-and-detailed makes a very boring, vapid world). Nice badass drawing though. I always dig badass art.

You seem to have less hard edges than you have had in previous artworks. This looks more like it was done in oil pastels. I really liked the hard edges. They gave it personality. This is just my opinion. That it is your style, but it just seems different.
