Description Zack: "You'll be my living legacy."
Cloud: "Thank you... I won't forget..."

Right, so... I just recently completed Crisis Core again after many years of not playing, and again, that ending just... yeah. Basically, I had a hard time drawing this and I kept having to stop because I kept tearing up. That ending was beyond powerful and emotional and just overwhelmingly heartbreaking and beautiful in a dark way I guess you could say. The scene between Cloud and Zack always touched me in more ways than I can say, so... I had to get my feels out! And here's the end result of getting my feels out. This was probably one of the most challenging pieces I have ever done. I had to use about 5-6 different types of reference photos just to capture the moment in full since the screen never pans out to show the full moment like this. So yeah... anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this because I worked really hard on this piece to capture every powerful moment/emotion throughout the whole scene in this one image. I have to say honestly, I am really proud of myself right now. 
Thank you in advance for any comments and/or faves. They truly mean a lot to me.

Yes his eyes were so full of emotion in that scene. I just had to capture it. Those aren't actually bruises but blood stains that have been rained on. In the scene while Zack was dying and Cloud was next to him, it was pouring down rain. After Zack died, it stopped and the sun came out hence the background. It's a very powerful scene. But anyway, thank you so much for your very kind and in-depth comment! I appreciate it a great deal!
