I haven't made a picture of Cloud since back when Final Fantasy VII was originally released. With the release of
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children I thought it would be a fun opportunity to re-visit an old character in a more
realistic manner. So yes, his face differs a bit from the original character design because I wanted him to look
more realistic and more masculine (in other words, a stronger jawline and less feminine features).

This was a fun picture to make, but took a long time. I started this a few months ago, left it alone for a bit, and then
went back and kept chipping away at it. I couldn't give you an exact time frame for how long it took to finish, but it
definitely took a lot of hours. This was all painted in Photoshop with my tablet and completed in May of 2006.

Original character design by Tetsuya Nomura and belongs to Square.
