This past Memorial Day weekend, there was a flash event called “Local Sephiroth” on Twitter, started by users Kirie and Saku. The premise was to insert Sephiroth into famous places around the world, either where fans lived or had visited. If it hadn’t been for the three-day weekend (here in the States at least) I … Continue reading
Back in early February the world was blessed with what is, to me, the best remix of “One-Winged Angel” since “Advent: One-Winged Angel”: When “The Prelude” comes in tho!!! When I read the line “Sephiroth and his entire gang show up with a boombox” I knew I had to draw it. Originally I thought to … Continue reading
I’ve always loved the track “On Our Way” from Final Fantasy VII but for some reason I’d come to associate it strictly with Icicle Inn. Maybe because I used to stay in the inn to let the inappropriately-dressed party warm up before going back out into the snowy mountains, so I’d hear the music there … Continue reading
The session Sephiroth, Angeal, and Genesis attend is for beginners. The painting they will recreate is a simple still life featuring Banora White apples. Angeal drinks in moderation and paints diligently. He makes a generally faithful copy of the composition, but adds enough of himself to succeed at making the image his own. Sephiroth long … Continue reading
I’ve been using Photoshop in some form, mostly Elements, for about 15 years now. The majority of that has not been for actual photo editing. Still, I feel dumb for just now learning about dodging and burning. All this time, I’ve been thinking, “I wish there were a way to lighten just one specific part … Continue reading
If this isn’t done now, it’s not gonna be. XD As with the preview post before this, the images contained here might be slightly NSFW, assuming your workplace wouldn’t be too keen on you looking at muscular men only slightly less scantily clad than He-man. So don’t scroll any further, O ye people at work! … Continue reading
I’ve been working on this on and off for a whole week. Mostly off. I couldn’t quite get into a groove. But then tonight, when I should be making my usual attempt to flip back to a daytime schedule before having to go back to work, I stayed up all night, coloring for six hours … Continue reading
¡Spoiler Warning for the original Final Fantasy VII and Remake! To avoid writing spoilerific things right at the top, let me start with a slight tangent. When I was in elementary school, I asked my mother to buy me a three-book set of How to Draw books from the Scholastic catalog. While I don’t remember … Continue reading
One time for my 30th birthday my friends and I stepped out from dinner at the Fukuoka Hard Rock Café, which back then was across from Yahoo! Dome and next to Zepp Fukuoka and Hawks Town Mall, and saw a balloon artist with a sign that said he could make anything. A friend suggested I … Continue reading
Having just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake when the Sailor Moon Redraw meme took off, I knew I had to put Cloud into it. It’s been a long time since I did fanart at all, and even longer since I drew Cloud, so it was slow going. Here are some work-in-progress pics, followed by my … Continue reading
