Description You may wonder, why Sephiroth? Why now?

Well... Because a friend asked nicely and patiently waited for it, also, I finally had time to finish it and gained a bit more skill so I felt more confident.



And so after months of headaches trying to figure out just how the hell I was supposed to draw grey hair, out of a really dark reference with some really weird tones, and many composition problems, I have finished... or decided to stop and hand this to its owner anyway xD

Ths was started like... seven months ago, and there was an earlier attempt, too, but I decided to expand it because the point of interest changed and whatnot. I kept setting it aside for MONTHS and working on it like, a few hours every once in a loooooong while xD Damn I am king of procrastination, that reminds me, I still need to finish that pokemon drawing D:

The hair, damn that hair, I didn´t understand it at all, and I still kinda don´t! That´s mainly why it took so long, that and the fire, which is a bit more subtle in real life but the scan accented contrasts there a bit. I had to clean off a lot of scanner dust, trying to figure out what was my own human error and what was the scanner´s damn fault Also the scanner made these weird reflections across the page, that scanner usually does that, no matter what setting it´s under so I had to try and fix THAT x_x

The highlights on the fire, well the last tiny ones, gah, I just finally gave up and used the eraser, I know I could have done it better if I´d drawn around, but I´d just been working on it for so long, oh well. I also had to stretch the fire places so that it could fit the paper it´s just... such a mess @_@

Morzone In reply to Trichardsen [2013-03-26 12:45:51 +0000 UTC]

If the character looks evil, it's because he is. He's a very twisted character. You should definitely check out Final Fantasy 7 sometime if you can.

I played some of the earlier FF back in the day, havent really paid much attention to the franchise since, but they have some stunning artwork and graphic.

I have the same problem with grey/white hair or any type of light hair really, so I share your pain. However, you did a terrific job. The highlights are great, you really did well, and the fire looks great too.

I did spend months on it! xD And on such a small portion of the canvas, and it being white, I was so unsure what to do with it! Thanks so much for looking

Gosh, I haven't watched that movie in AGES! thanx for reminding me of it hehe
Must've taken awhile, but all the hard work was worth it it seems I know how annoying is that, to notice a flaw after a flaw after a flaw on an artwork that you just want to get over with but can't! Anyways, the time and care you spent on it is very evident, AND you successfully captured Sephiroth's trademark evil look! I truly believe 'Final Fantasy' characters are hard to depict; all those details and everything. You've done a grand job I must say!

Haha cool no problem.

It did indeed take a long time. Many headaches : p

I´m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for all the compliments ^u^ Sorry if my reply seems impersonal, I feel a little dizzy xD (lack of sleep from drawing other things and whatnot)

Your very welcome & do make sure to get some sleep - think about it, you'll then be able to do more drawing without as much fatigue, once you get enough rest

ZeroSlash [2011-06-30 16:59:29 +0000 UTC]

It just had to be Sephiroth didn't it...I don't like him anymore, but good job. Could use some darker values though on himself to add that contrast with the background.

ErnestoVladimir In reply to ZeroSlash [2011-06-30 21:37:55 +0000 UTC]

The reference icture I got was really dark, and I couldn´t work with those values, and so I changed the contrast and brightness into something I felt more comfortable working on.
