The idea behind this is that it's supposed to be as if Amano did the art for FFVII (a concept sketch, really). Putting my usual Kame touches, it leans more to my own work rather than a true Amano homage.

finalalias Nice take! Very Amano-esque.

Glenn Magus Harvey I kinda prefer this to the actual Cloud art, lol.

As Chell172 points out, it seems that Kame + Amano = Akira Toriyama??. That said, I do like how his hair isn't just crazy spikes but looks slightly more plausible. The expression on the face also helps--or rather, the fact that there's an expression now.

Kame It's been a long while since I painted this but yeah, I always found Akira Toriyama's hair style to be rooted in implausability (either that, there's Super Saiyan strength hair gel). Cloud's hair kinda does that hair sticking up thing but I tried to make it a little more organically flowing and less "I have a whole bottle of goop in my hair".

Glenn Magus Harvey Well, it looks significantly more organic than yellow-dyed cement, so that is a definite improvement on the original.

Though, that face...he looks too savvy for his character, lol.

Narratorway Leave it to me to be completely distracted by the details, but I just can't get enough of the way you redesigned that sword. Dunno what it is, but it just looks so damned compelling.

finalalias EDIT: sorry, made dumb comment. The sword does look better. Maybe 'cause it's smaller.

Kane Love it! It really feels Amano-esque. smile.gif

I wanted to leave his sword "big" but not getting into the absurd foam sword/I'm making up for a part of my body thing.

Also, I think a grand total of four colors were used in this picture. The green in the eyes was a mix of the yellow and the blue (as seen in the shoulder guard).
