Artist's Comments

This was actually something I was working in between bigger projects. Started before “Night flight” but finished after. I must say that this is one of the few deviations in my gallery that caused me a lot of stress and annoyance; half of the total time was spent trying to get his face right. I even tried to look at internet images as reference and DA art as inspiration but it didn’t help. Anyway I got rid of the first attempt which took hours and did a quicker version which was much better ( not great but a lot less ugly than the first )…. Makes me wonder why so many fangirls have the hots for him, I couldn’t find any pictures that didn’t look creepy.

Even though these are among my least popular deviations, Some may find the wallpaper version interesting too. [link]
Other characters in this collection: Kadaj [link] Vincent [link] Cloud [link]

...And N3URON has pointed out that his sword appears short. I should have mentioned that this was based on a scene at the start of Advent Children where its tilted around 45degrees toward the viewer ( those who have seen it would know that his sword is really much longer )

Sephiroth is a copyright character of Square-Enix. But all artwork here was done by me so I bid you don't rip it!

Thanks, They were supposed to be tiny dust particles...just to keep the backround from being boring.

I think his sword should be longer.

Very nice though.

The sword really is longer. But then I realised that it would be tilted forward due to the angle of his hand, making it look shorter than it really is and that was hard to do realistically. I suppose I should have put that in my comment though.

Preetty interesting ^^ I am a biig FF fan and 7 is the best part though! This is kinda cool, but I actually think that the sword IS to short!
We all know about angles, but I would have made the sword broader in the end.
I think you know what I mean.

I like the hair and the face.

Thanks ^^

I took it back into Photoshop and slightly widened the end but the result looked strange, almost cartoony. So then I tried a different approach by making the curve steeper, but that too led to undesireable results.

Besides, this is a redemption of part of the movie ( that I took a screenshot of ) and thats how it really was. Making certain other parts were difficult due to the original picture being small and pixellated at best, in fact Cloud was covering the bottom half of his body.
:iconrobstasy:
Heey, no need for explenations. That was just what I "realised". It is totaly up to the artist what he makes out of critics. I´m sure you tried out.

It is good, anyway!!
