Why?

Edit: The making of this; part 1: [link] , part 2: [link]

Heh ... wow ...

About ... 24 hours this took me? I don't think I've ever been so proud of a picture in my entire life

I've taken screenshots all the way through my progress which I will happily annotate and upload for you all to see if you're interested In the mean time, here's the final picture Cloud from Crisis Core!

I did enjoy making this, if I'm honest. It took ages, and I continuously had problems with the eyes, nose and mouth. The hair was so much fun to make! The eyes and mouth were the hardest.

I used this little picture as reference: [link] and so there wasn't much detail in the eyes, so I happily added the Mako green myself, but it was hard to make the eyes As for the mouth ... well, Cloud's mouth is kinda "I'm-not-gonna-cry" expression, and that was so annoying to try and show

I don't really know what to say if I'm honest. Big thanks to the other half, my best friend , and my brother for watching and supporting me It's always great to have people helping you along your way

Really hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it
