Description Man, do I feel sorry for Cloud. He's got the biggest bully (-coughSTALKERcough-) in the universe after him. Not only does Sephiroth destroy his village, kill a potential love interest, but he also infects him with Geostigma (Through buttsmex, I bet! I'm sure that's how it *really* went down in some x-rated-special-collector's edition of Advent Children! ). Sephiroth be climbin' up Cloud's window again! Sheesh, I can pretty much guess what Sephiroth's issue with Cloud is (-cough-MASCULINE-IDENTITY-ISSUES-ASSOCIATED-WITH-HIS-FIXATION-ON-HIS-MOMMY-AND-BEING-STABBED/PENETRATED-BY-CLOUD-AT-THE-MAKO-REACTOR-WITH-A-GIANT-'SWORD'-cough-hack-cough). Oh, Sigmund Freud... you must be rolling in your grave right now.

Anywho... You can pretty much guess who scribbled those hateful words on the wall. Heh, this actually compliments well with the 'I Will Never be a Memory' piece I uploaded not long ago.

Cloud... I love you. BUT DAMN YOUR HAIR GAVE ME NIGHTMARES. It took me a while to get it the way I wanted it to go. I wanted something with a fluffy, sexier, rock-star look; not have it be the ass of a chocobo. I hope you guys dig it! Now to continue writing my epic-500+paged-long Cloud/Sephiroth fanfic. e__e

XD Your description just killed me.
I really like the way you colored Cloud's hair though!
I've tried drawing hair that spikes up before and it really is a nightmare. x'D
(It's always like, "I can't make you even remotely realistic-looking if you spike up in my eye everywhere I turn."  Kinda like drawing a thick sea urchin, I guess?)

Anyway.
I think my favorite part about your art is either the eyes or the noses.
I'm not sure what it is about them but I just love the way you draw noses. * A *

I'm so happy I found this, I bought the print of this at the recent Otakon and I love it to bits, but I don't know if you remember the Reno that came up to you at your table. Either way, I really do love your art a ton.

This is literally one of the most gorgeous pieces I have ever liked. The composition is wonderfully done, I love how even though you know Cloud's the main subject matter the taunts and torturous words behind him jump out immediately and help the viewer see how awful these words hurt Cloud. I dearly love the dead/almost Sephiroth mako eyes that Cloud dons in his face. It's so gorgeous and makes me shiver with the possibility of Cloud losing himself (to geostigma, or whatever else!) and it's just a shaking cold piece. The colors used are just well done and LOOK AT THAT SKIN COLOR. OHHHHH.

ANYWAY, I just wanted to see thank you for making this beautiful artwork and even more thanks for the mad giggles I got from the MASCULINE IDENTITY ISSUES .

Wahahaha...OMG I love your description almost as much as I love the picture It's so true...Freud and his phallic imagery is mwahaha-ing at FF now...swords and stabbing EVERYWHERE!
And...back to the pic, Cloud is so pretty, just love his hair, all the hard work was worth it, perfection! Beautiful combo of watercolors and digital again, so lovely!

'ass of a chocobo' HAHAHA that cracked me up xDDDD
But seriously, Cloud's hair looks perfect here and it does look very bad ass rock star looking.
At first I thought this was a watercolour piece because of the texture, but man this is such an amazing digital art piece. *_*
I really like the calligraphy on the wall, it goes perfectly with Cloud.

That is the most badass Cloud I've ever seen! And the writing on the wall is everything he was told, probably what he even believed for a while.

"Through buttsmex, I bet!" XD I've never thought of it happening that way... Quick, somebody needs to write it out that way!

His hair is so fluffy~ I WANNA PET IT!

Gaaaah, I forgot to reply to your comment! O_O I can't believe I didn't earlier.

heh, I'm glad you enjoy this badass version of Cloud. The writing on the wall was especially disturbing when I finally completed the piece and stared at it. Even though Sephiroth wrote it, it's also the thoughts roaming in Cloud's head. When I think about Cloud I kinda see him as the victim of bullying and self-loathe. The poor guy can't catch a break.

Heh, through buttsmex would've been more epic and smexy, don't you think? I may need to write that myself.

You can pet his hair. But it may bite. O_O

Even fangirls bully poor Cloud, judging by the amount of fanfiction where bad things happen to the poor guy. Even I can't help but torture him.

Do iiiiiitttttt!

I will burn his hair if it does... Don't bite if you want to go bald, Cloud! XD

For added epic effect, make sure to have the 'Bed Intruder' song playing in the background while viewing this image.

LOL, I've taken a long hiatus, haven't I? I'm gonna get started on an original piece now of my character, Acheron. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my latest pieces.

I think you got the hair beautifully. Your type of fanart is truly satisfying, there's a depth to the art that seriously lends itself well to the characters you do. Makes them more fascinating

RadiusZero In reply to RADification [2013-04-18 02:54:06 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for those kind words. That means a lot. I love doing fanart, but my mission is to create work that goes beyond depicting just a beloved character. I want to create a strong concept that does the character justice, but also makes people reflect and think. For a character like Cloud, you can see he boils up a lot of emotions. In fact, the words are written on the wall, but you gotta wonder if it's really in his head too. It was kinda tough sitting through this image, honestly. There are things about it that ring true, especially for anyone who has been 'infected' by a hateful/manipulative person in their life.
