Description I wanted to call it "Honey, I'm home" but the friend (for whom this little doodle had been created) threatened to cry, so I gave in. My other suggestion was "Blond, Bad & Beautiful" because that was the song [link] I had blasting in my headphones while I was rendering the pic. Sadly, that didn't get voted in either (though I think it suits the boy )

I have to come clean - this relatively traditional depiction of my FF favourite is not really my thing - I prefer things less reverential and more humorous, but since this was something I've been asked to do for months now, I tried to get into the right spirit.

man o man I wish a had those wings to pose and rig, would make the wing concept, riging (and understaning of the perspective of wings better for me --- I rather take a 3d model of birds wings and pose and rig them myself than to harm, kill or use a taxidermy bird instead)

If you really - REALLY get stuck sometimes, why not use a little trick I've learnt a while back - do stuff out of primitives, one primitive after another, plane on top of the plane, make your own feather texture, displacement, transparency bump/normal map in Photoshop, position the whole lot, use deformers if needed and light it in sucha way that it looks as if it has depth - and voila you got something that will 'look' as 'real' as you need it to. OK - so it is not a 'proper' 3D model that costs bucks - but if it works - who cares ?

And the pose and perspective, must've taken a long while to get it right...

Learning curve. I've gotten a bit better since(Though truth to be told, his face changes from one FF installment to another - there's not a single game/film footage/that would match any other - Seph from the AC has very little resemblance to the one in CC, one in CC looks barely like anything in KH If the creators of the big boy can't decide on how he's supposed to look like and stick to it...)

He's right ya know! He did say "Honey, I'm home!" I heard him alright, but I was busy stirring the soup and couldn't open the door for him right away. And now we gotta replace the friggin thing coz he broke in through it and you don't even quote him right!! D'oh!!!

I...ah...wow. /heart slows/ The beautiful monster himself. He looks so focused and vicious while calculating all the while the best angle to stick Masamune through you at. /shudder/ Pretty or not, he is the most terrifying man...almost ever, if not ever.

I love the detail in this. His wing is immaculate and his eyes pierce the soul. The mako effect on Masamune is deliciously menacing. This is the one I thought of while writing my works. If I could fave this multiple times, I would. Very nicely done. Thank you so much for sharing and I worship your skills.

I personally hate the emo Sepheroth, and yet I love this piece.
You captured a demonic and dark angel ready to judge with a blade.

Regardless if it being the Oedipus Pussy Seph.

MaxTheMogg In reply to Rynver [2011-09-27 16:22:36 +0000 UTC]

XD It's because teh Emo Seph is for girls (just as the OP one is, too.)
I was very reluctant to do the AC-thingy for the very same reasons, so I tried to impart some of character to the vapid aesthetic.
I'm glad someone noticed it.

Rynver In reply to MaxTheMogg [2011-09-27 16:46:39 +0000 UTC]

Heh, Intentional makes me like the piece all the more. Good job, For me to like a piece, let alone like a character I really loath takes skill in expression at the very least.
I am also a harsh critique, who looks into the essence of a work, beyond often skill it's self.

On top of it all I often think of anime as a "decent" art form, often not even worth a mention in my "favorite" favorites.

This means you have done well beyond the norm.
