Description A sketch turned into a painterly-mess haha

I didn't even really bother with a base lineart layer in SAI like I have been lately, and used almost every brush that SAI has. Adjustments and such were done in CS4.

Took around 2 hours or so, on and off.

Cloud is my favourite character of all time! I will never forget the great fun I had playing FF7, I laughed, cried, and nerd raged when I finished, because I wanted more!

If you like this style, let me know, I really don't know what mine is yet. Also as always, if you have suggestions for a particular character you'd like to see me draw in this style, let me know.


Edit: Yes his poor arms are chopped off haha I really just didn't feel like adding arms. It was only supposed to be a portrait sketch afterall!

Edit2: Can Download for a much closer view of my mess, the original canvas size.

Awesome, Cloud is my fave male character too! I should really do more drawings of him.

This style is great, it's simplistic but fairly detailed too, I really like it, great job.

@.@ i'm diggin' this style, very solid colours with clear eyes and effects to make the shoulder guard metallic is a nice touch with Cloud looking even more awesome. The collar looks realistic though would be easier if the full torso was there to comment on how it looks overall xD

d(^_^) i'm liking his expression and how you've done his hair~

I really love how his eyes turned out, I surprise myself sometimes! I would love to do a more detailed Cloud painting one of these days, and do him much more justice. This was only meant to be a doodle, but I just couldn't stop myself and kept going haha

Lynxaria In reply to mierin-eronaile [2013-04-27 18:31:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Mierin! I hate arms and fingers x.x oh my gosh I suck so much at them!! I probably have about 100 reference guides on my computer to refer to when I get stuck, but I don't have a steady hand. My fingers always look like fish sticks when I am done LOL.

mierin-eronaile In reply to Lynxaria [2013-04-28 00:15:47 +0000 UTC]

lol, i know what you mean

then instead of avoiding arms let's just draw plenty, until it becomes second nature. like a man with ten arms, for example. and god knows how many hands...

haha..

kidding
