Description Hey everyone,

You know, I always wondered why Tifa never told anyone what really happened and that Cloud never led her up to Mount Nibel....---or if she did and no one believed her because she was kid, then I feel sorry for her. But I know she remembered because she does recall going up there!---Anyone like to argue that? XD I'm being dumb.

Also, here's a black and white version of it: [link]

Well, I wish I could digitally color better, but right now...this'll have to do. Just practicing with colors more...and a somewhat background. Cloud's knees are all scratched and his face and arm have little bruises forming. He's kinda toying with the hem of his t-shirt and taking a step back, because I have noticed little kids do that when they're scared or nervous; I know I used to when I was in trouble!

So here's a younger Cloud, with a small little spikey hair-do. I think I drew him pretty good as a child. As of this time this is a work in progress, because I will be coloring this. I thought the words were pretty cool too.

I remember when playing this part of the game, I always felt really sorry for Cloud. I mean it must've been traumatic for him. I think by this time in his life, he knows the consequences and effects of life and death. Surely his mom must've told him something about his dad. That guy who tells him a bunch of stuff and points the finger at him had a profound everlasting effect on him; come on man! It's a kid and you're telling him basically. "Hey Cloud! It's your fault if she dies!" And THEN they just leave him alone on a mountain! Geez, what a bunch of MATURE adults. -_-"

So anyways! Here's the link to that part of the game where I got the quotes: [link] It starts about 7:38.

I used two brushes from two different sources to kinda give the background and ground some textures by:

Yep...agreed. I like to think that Shin-Ra might be Cloud's dad. It would be a weird plot twist haha.

when i first looked at this picture the first thoughts that came to my head were :
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT TIFA AND BURN IN HELL MR LOCKHART NO ONE LIKES YOU!!"
no offence but is the main reason i only like ACTifa, i couldn't stand the fact sweet old Cloud was blamed for her own mistake while she was scot free from trouble (well..besides being in a coma).
All cloud did was follow her and was the only boy who didn't descide to desert tifa up the mountain like her so called "friends" did, come to think about why didn't they tell the adults the truth since they were there.
I still wonder what little Cloud saw in her, he could do better, like with Aerith, even his mom said he should get an OLDER girldfriend, meaing even mrs strife knew he could do better than tifa.
I do like tifa, but as cloud's friend only, i prefer her with rude.
by the way great drawing! ^^

Poor Cloud! I felt so sorry for him at that part of the story...
Adults can sometimes be so cruel with children!
Things that you experience wen you are a child can deeply impress your mind and affect all of your future life.
So it was for Cloud: from then on, he'll always blame himself for his weakness and always wish to become stronger to protect the people he loves....
As for Tifa, I think she didn't know what was happening in Cloud's mind, moreover she was unconscious
for long time so maybe she didn't even know that Cloud was charged with her accident...

Beautiful picture, so touching.... You're great!

Oh poor Cloud remember that part of the game too. Those adults were so darn stupid. He tried to save her for god's sake!! If I were there I would have given him a hug, told him that it wasn't his fault and not just left him alone!

good work by the way^^ though it may not be finished yet.
