Emo Cloud is being emo

Oh but who cares, we love him

It's hard to believe my last Cloud Strife fan-art is 48 deviations and over a year back!

Being my favourite, I just had to draw him again and rekindle the interest of those who are watching me for my fan-art, just to let them know that although they are rare (due to my variety) that I still havn't given up on them. In fact, I might be just a little more motivated these days because I'm getting better at it and a little faster too...Normally I would have spent all week on something like this, but I managed to get it done over the course of a few days and will hopefully get speedier as I go along

This was originally just an excuse tp practice drawing semi-realistic faces as that's normally the part of any character - fan-art or original that I always struggle with. But I think it's good enough to submit. Now I havn't enabled the proper critique feature as normally once Im finished a work, I don't like having to go back, but still - crits and suggestions are still welcome, I'll just keep them in mind for next time

Oh, and it's not neccessarily based on any particular part of the game/movie. I just wanted something with a bit more emotion in it

Drawn entirely in Photoshop, no textures or 3D used in here

I'm also aware that there's someone elses Cloud fan-art by the same name, but a song I listened to when drawing this had that word and it just fit the mood so well

EDIT: Re-did the eyes since the iris/pupil was too big before. Made the lips stick out beyond the edge of his face a bit to give them a bit more volume too. Also made a slightly more varied shading in the hair and thinned out the ends a bit. Thanks for your suggestions!

There is something about Cloud that has always drawn me to his character. I like that his isn't the typical hero. He gets moody and doesn't always rush into things. Not to mention- he's so very easy on the eyes. Your portrayal of him here fits him well. And he looks so gorgeous too. His eyes...

How I missed out on your art before is beyond me. You're fantastic.

I agree. Sometimes the overconfident "lets jump to it" hero types are kind of...douchebaggy

Cloud is more realistic, and definitely more attractive too

Thanks for commenting and faving

You should improve your anatomic skills. The atmosphere is great

`priteeboy Mar 9, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yeah, that's one thing I can never wrap my head around. Seems no amount of references or guides can save me from...well, totally fucking it up

~OtakuKikya Mar 9, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Oh no you shouldn't!
You have to try improving, Bcs the atmosphere is really good, but his head is wrong. If you correct your mistakes the whole drawing will look so much better don't u think so?

Oh I know so that it would be better, To be honest - I didn't really like this one often shortly after finishing it, but I never cared about it enough to go back and fix it

Sometimes I'm tempted to go back and fix previous works, but sometimes I wonder if that time would be better off spent just doing new ones

Plus there's no point me trying to fix an old piece if I still don't know how to do it properly

~OtakuKikya Mar 10, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Ok then draw something new avoiding mistakes of the past, ganbatte!

~Dinolia Nov 26, 2011

niceeee! and a boy who cries isn't a emo..is a man ¬.¬!

`priteeboy Nov 26, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, one who cries in moderation anyway

~Dinolia Nov 26, 2011

O.O nop >.< In the world of men, a man who accepts and admits his feelings is very positive <.<. And talk about Cloud is a great new (if was Sephiroth it would be a miracle XDDDD)
