You won't find this anywhere on the internet because I JUST DREW IT!!! Hey, I'm in Art School After all! I'm getting better all the time!

Hopefully my sad sick obsession with doing something I've already done before, only better, will make some people happy!
 
That looks really great. I wonder how he stays on that pose tho.
 
I'd like to point out that this isn't ripped from anything!   ;)

I know how my fall from grace will forever mar my reputation  ;) (or maybe I just like being dramatic)
 
nice to see you back apz - as to yer plagiarism - this isnt school : P just retexture the face n repost! You're more than capable now with all your lvl ups!

Your just being dramatic.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D Level 63 now by my count!

If that's what you guys really want, it'll only take maybe an hour, but... I'd rather start all over again! And come on... Wouldn't that be better?

I could do both however, whatever!
 
Sounds Good. Have you had any thoughts on doing other characters as well?
 
Well you see. I would... but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to be lame  :-\ Because I honestly can't commit to the amount of time it would take. Job+School+newborn+no days off = I shouldn't even be making anything for this place

I do however want to do Sephiroth Vincent and Tifa. I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up. If it happens it happens, but I'm not gonna make any promises.

As it is, I'm still doing this mostly for my own selfish fanboyism and my incessant need to share things with people who'll appreciate them. Plus it's a portfolio stuffer!

That truly is one magnificent drawing.  The sword is really well-drawn.

I, never for the life of me, will be able to draw anything as great as that.  ;D
 
Drawing just takes time and practice. Anyone can do it with enough practice and the ability to trick yourself into right brain mode (----> There's a book called "Drawing on the Right Side of Your Brain" and I highly recommend it)

I have a theory about style, it's both something you work hard to achieve, and your innate natural inclinations.

But a key element with any artist is the ability to visualize the end result before you start. Everybody goes about this differently, but unless you're a portrait or landscape painter... It won't cut it in this business. You gotta start with SOMETHING, even if it's just an idea.

The problem is people need to realize what creativity IS. It's not something that comes out of thin air!!! Anyone who's creative will get INSPIRED, and INSPIRATION STARTS OUTSIDE THE SELF. YOU CAN'T MAKE ART OUR OF THIN AIR!!! YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE!!! It doesn't matter what it is, but everything we do on this earth, every "AH HA!" moment, was triggered in our heads by something else, usually from something completely off topic.

So when people who don't use their creative minds for art like to judge it, and they tell me how uncreative bland and pedestrian this thing is that I poured my heart into. And I just want to scream "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CREATIVITY IS!!!!"

Because creativity doesn't necessarily mean inventive. It means your brains was actively engaged and excited and working hard to make something, even if it isn't something "New". But the best artists will be both creative and inventive at the same time. I try!

And so this is how I justify my re-making my Cloud and loving to do it   ;D And I defy anyone to say I'm being "uncreative" Because well... I'll be creating something! even if it isn't new... And, as an added bonus---> You guys's will love it!

I hope  ;)
 
Cant wait to see what you put together. If you ever get bored sometime you could help out with avalanche. Take a look at it if you dont know what it is about. (very bottom of the screen if you havnt scrolled down :) )
 
And I defy anyone to say I'm being "uncreative" Because well... I'll be creating something!
Watch out, that is Exactly what some individuals will try to do.  Your Drawing is gorgeous though, I look forward to your future creations.  It appears you went to Art School to improve one of your skillss, and in the process have learned/improved upon a number of skills!  Awesome.
 
I'd say Art School has leveled up all my attributes except maybe my audio skills and knowledge.  And it don't bother me if people will call me out for not being original with my new Cloud. Because honestly I agree!  :) I'm NOT being original! But I'm having fun and doing something that I love, and there's nothing wrong with that!

The biggest thing I learned in Art School was anatomy, of which I'm still learning more all the time. Learning that nearly doubled my drawing ability! Once you understand which muscles connect where and how and the way they bend, it completely transforms the reality of your characters.
