lucoDo you wanna know the whole reason I started drawing? It wasn't because I enjoyed it, it wasn't because I wanted to make a career out of it. No, it's because of one blue eyed, spikey haired blond!
When I was young...I never played any video games. My brother did, friends did..me? None, not anything...
Until I saw a commercial on TV of said blonde. I remember being fascinated by the eyes and the hair and then he had the Bike and and.....well I was hooked. My younger brother had to explain to me what a Playstation was and after that, it was all I wanted. So dad got it for me and every weekend I visited him (was still young and living with mom because of divorce) I rented FF7. One problem....I had no memory card and still had no idea how to play an RPG. Still...after three months of constantly spending hours going through Midgar, only to have to shut it off and go to bed and then restart the next day.....I finally got the hang of it and finally had enough money for a memory card.
It became my obssession and from there Meaghan introduced me to Anime (Battle Arena Toshinden was the first thing she showed me ^^;;) and well, i wanted to draw simply so i could bring Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth...well all of them, to life. No one else that i knew who was an artist would and thus, I was left with nothing and felt they were left with nothing. So when the teacher showed me a trick to drawing (draw a picture upside down) i slowly began to learn. I copied every picture of those characters I could find and prayed one day I would be good enough to draw my own.
Now...finally, I can say that it has worked. I've finally drawn Cloud (Kingdom Hearts version but yeah....) and can actually say i'm happy with it. I'm still not as good as i want to be, but at least after...how many years??? I can say that I'm finally able to obtain my wish.
Sorry for the longish rant type thing...but.....yeah.....here's your pic...
One more thing first...I'd like to say that in response to all the art there where Cloud looks more like a young girl than anything else, i shall always do my best to make sure he looks like a guy!
