Thanks! And it only took me several years to reply back! ^_^ So sorry.
I found it interesting that you mentioned his swords. I've actually been itching to return to this project and fix them, particularly the lower, (his) left handed one. It's positioning is a bit too "flat" for me. I would like to redesign the blade to an authentic FFVII weapon, and then change the angle. As soon as time allows!
A big belated thanks again though!

pretty cool, but the thick outlines really take away from the depth of it.

*Marvels at the incredible detail.* Beautiful. Simply gorgeous. I've been staring at the veins in his arms for about 5 minutes, now. It's almost creepy how lifelife they are!

Yummmy, take him and add to the sauna party. I can tell you, he and Zidane would have a LOT to talk about...

And maybe Vivi should be in the sauna too, just for kicks...or maybe to serve Kuja an Ether Margarita.

Hehe, sorry...

It breaks away from the "traditional" way Cloud is portrayed, and I like that.
Beautiful work.

he looks alot more masculine in the face than his PS character... more mature.

the veins on his arm look slightly scary tho! lol
nice shading job.

great work again

whoa nice concept.. i like how you took Cloud, a very cartoonie character, and brought him down to earth ... brought him to life so to speak [i am a final fantasy freak... :S]

aadoza [2003-11-27 00:12:17 +0000 UTC]

This is just incredible. I love the way you shade your work. Sketch in a whole is really great. Hair, and face are incredible. Clothes are also incredible. Muscle tones are great. The build is great. Kinda reminds me of Frank Zane. Frank Zane is pretty much the smallest bodybuilder, who has won Mr. Olympia. Frank had a really impressive build. Was just perfect. Great Sketch!

SeanRobertCook In reply to dallyn [2003-10-10 15:38:27 +0000 UTC]

Hey, thanks for the comments. I used a photo ref. to start the face, for lighting and whatnot (actually lighting on the face is where the lighting was decided), but altered the guys features to better suit the feel of the character. Hair i used some quick ref. from a magazine i had laying there..just to get various clumps n' strands down, then just went to town. Hair is actually pretty fun once you get the main shape down and blocked in.
The rest i pulled from the original shot of cloud from the hint guide (it was about the most used shot of him in a solo stance) and went from there on my own. I like, wanted to bulk him up a bit..make it look like he'd really been using the blades a bit, but keep him from looking bodybuilder..still smaller framed, etc.

Wow. Cloud is all. Real. And manly. Hooray! He actually looks tough, rather than like a sissy boy. Excellent work on the Buster Sword, and I love that giant butcher knife thingy, too.

Sean.. you are the master, you transfered the animated video game character into a realistic individual, I love this, its nice how it all looks on a mature cloud, yet stays the same, such as the hair, clothes, sword. Shading on the veins is great, nice anatomy on the tricep. Amazing shiiittee!! You rule!
