When A Character I Love And Care For Has To Face The Consequences Of Their Previous Actions

when a character i love and care for has to face the consequences of their previous actions

In the end I couldn't resist the urge to draw a Country!Miku like everyone else is doing in that trending art meme. 👀 So get ready to see my take on Uruguay!Miku soon! 😆🌞 (Drawing her on horseback is proving to be difficult but very entertaining, lol! 🤣).

I'm so glad this artwork has surpassed 1000 notes! 🥰 As a thank you, I'll explain the symbolic meaning behind some of the elements in this piece:

🌠The child version of Cloud (and, therefore, "The Real Cloud") represents his shared childhood with Tifa.

⚔️The translucent sword made of ghostly mako glow represents Zack's heroic legacy.

🌻 The yellow flowers he's standing on represent his connection to Aerith and the planet.

☄️🦅And the combo of the meteorite plus the eagle flying high through the flaming sky represents Sephiroth!

Cloud has been one of my favorite JRPG heroes since ages ago! He's such a complex, deep, and relatable character, so I went out of my way to portray his powerful spirit in a single image! 👏💖

The last bout of Covid hit me harder than I expected and it took me a month to recover, so (now that I'm feeling better 💪) I sketched this figure drawing set as a warm up before returning to my RuPaul's realistic portrait painting! ✍🔥

This figure drawing session was made using references from the "Line of Action" site, each with a time limit of 5 minutes. ⏳ My personal favorite is the one of the buddy going up the trapezoid, lol, followed by the ✨fabulous✨ pose of the lower right corner one (which was also the hardest to draw! 😂).

📌2014 Figure Drawing:

I thought of drawing a retro anime style rendition of Vincent Van Gogh's (my favorite artist ever! 🎨🌻) painting titled "Portrait of a Woman with Red Ribbon" (1885) as a warm up, and I liked the result so much that I decided to step out of my comfort zone and color it in a painterly style different from my usual cel shading one! 👀✨ It's awesome when these kind of experimental artworks turn out the way you want them to, haha.

Here's my version of the OCs vs Artist meme! ✍💖

🔸Favorite OC: My poor freckled daughter with self-esteem issues whose life I love to mess up with memory issues and vampiric apocalypses, Furukawa Chie (Hakuouki OC) and her mischievous Shiba Inu stray dog, Yokai.

🔸First OC: April Saito (Digimon OC), who I created when I was only 10 years old! April will grow up to become a Digimon rights activist, so I thought it'd be fun to draw her protesting with a "✅Yes to Digital Intelligence / ❌No to Artificial Intelligence" sign along with Gigimon, who has a matching anti-AI bandana.

🔸Fans' Favorite OC: Rice Ritz, head of the "Kame Warriors" (my troop of Time Patroller OCs from Dragon Ball Xenoverse), who used to be wildly popular back in 2018 when we ran amazing "OC vs OC" tournaments on DeviantArt.

🔸Easiest to Draw OC: Furukawa Kohana (Hakuouki OC), which caused my sister to go "What do you mean Kohana is the easiest one for you to draw?!". 😂 Maiko/Geiko are one of my special interests, so she's one of the few OCs I can draw from memory without having to consult a character sheet, lol.

🔸Hardest to Draw OC: Tani Sanjuro (Hakuouki OC), the arrogant yet skillful captain of the 7th Division of the Shinsengumi that both me and my fic's readers love to hate… and who has features as difficult to draw as his whole wardrobe!

🔸The Artist: Lady Yomi herself! 👀 Referenced from a real photo so that's why I'm wearing my noise cancelling headphones, haha.
