Description
So this would be Cid, as seen in FFVII Advent Children. He is one of the few characters who managed to age backwards in the 2-year time-period. Maybe because he stopped smoking? The world may never know...Materials:
Mechanical Pencil
Printer Paper
Reference Picture
Enjoy the Cidocity.

I think every FF has a Cid or mentions a Cid (or Sid), even Kingdom Hearts has FF7's Cid Highwind, and the movies too.

Now that is just amazing right there.
He didn't quit smoking though.
There's a scene in Dirge of Cerberus where he lights a cigarette.
So we will never know how Cid managed to de-age....

Cid is magic, he has lived for centuries; thus is why he can age backwards, it was one of the abilities the Gods blessed him with when he was created before the universe! *random* Also, he seems very out of place to me without his cigarette...
Once again, you baffle my brain. You make an awsome piece that you only top with the next picture. How does this talent occur!? That is the question the world may never know.
Anyway... That sahding! Ahh! The shading! How do you do that, it's so astounding! It makes me smile.
If I had to pick out a few major parts that really caught my attention for detail, I'd have to say his neck, his goggles, and I'm assuming his staff (the thing in front of him)? His neck, I just love how realistic it seems, how it radiates a sort of power and strength that Cid is. His goggles are just marvelous; the shading, the detail, the everything. Brilliant. Obviously, once again, a piece that is brilliant and so great in many ways. I think once of the only ways you could stick more detail in there would be to start drawing his skin cells in and the threads of his clothes.
I loves it, not to mention could character pick.

lol Skin cells and threads? That would be amazing. Next I could draw all the molecules of his genetic makeup.
Once again the comments are crackalackin. It's a new word. Use it.
If you must know the secret to my shading, here it is: Pencil, and my finger. Really, that's all there is to it. No fancy stuff.
Oh, and the "staff" you mentioned is actually a spoke of the steering wheel of Cid's ship. Maybe I should mention that in my Artist's comments...
Anyways, glad you like it. I'll keep em comin!

Yes, and his DNA. If you could do that, I would legally pronounce you as God and create a religion for you (so get 'crackalackin' ).
You lie, your shading is more magical that that! 
That was my second guess, I figured it was part of his staff or a spoke of the steering wheel; I guess I bet on the wrong horse.
Yeah, you better. >:[ But seriously, can't wait to see more.

Oh, okay, I admit I do have magical fairies who whisper advice in my ear while I shade, but detais, details.
π: 0 β©: 1
I knew it! Now I know the secrets to your awsome shading powers, I must capture the faries and make them work for me!

Ummmmm... good luck with that. I really don't know how to respond to that.
