Description Okay, taking a break from commissions to do... THIS!!
(You don't need to bother fav'ing this or taking this seriously, I just want to have silly fun D: )

So I always have had troubles drawing spikey hair... I just can't grasp how Tetsuya Nomura or Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball) do it. So I decided to practice a little on Chrono from Chrono Trigger. If it weren't for his spikey hair, I'd draw him 2398742 more times than I do Link OTL;;;

1. My first attempt... By copying a ref, faillll. My imagination just can't handle the high definition spectrum of spiky hair.
2. My attempt on biting the ref out of anger and frustration.
3. Then I thought "HEY! Let's look at another source" and ultimately, it lead me to some sort of... magazine cover of Cloud? Silly google search results. I still can't believe how realistic and PLAUSIBLE Cloud's hair was in the FF7 movie. I'm sure cosplayers around the globe were crying out of joy as well.
4. I noticed how eerily similar both Chrono and Cloud's hair are. I'm guessing Squeenix loves their share of spiky hair protagonists.
5. Practice practice practice from game scenes (or not). LUMINAIREEEEE *uses every 5 seconds in game)

Anywho, I need to work on commissions now grrr *procrastinator* I'm also working on updating my website (wait, I had a website?!) anddd other stuff like Secret Santa business. I'm also considering doing a fancomic of Chrono Trigger once I get a hang of drawing Chrono, and maybe Magus. Magus looks like a vampire in my style, oh lord.

These are fantastic, I love your line quality. And the drawing of Ayla is very nice as well~! Also, loving the heavy blacks on the Luminaire one.

I love how natural his hair looks the way you drew it, I mean it looks like with a bit of gel and bedhead it could actually be possible and not look completely stupid.

The thought of Cloud taking the time out every morning to meticulously spike his hair always makes me giggle.

Because being pretty matters when you're on a quest to save the world.

I had a moment in my childhood where I drew like Toriyama due to Chrono Trigger. It was before I'd even seen Dragon Ball and I thank god every day it didn't stick. xD

I love your versions of Chrono, especially in #5 and Luminaire. I'm terrible at drawing expressions. In my world, everyone is either content or emo. ._.

That is some spiky hair, yo.

XD Did turn out pretty well, though. I think the secret is to just run with it and not worry too much about how feasible it is.
