I've always thought Vincent's claw was a little depressing, and decided maybe something could be done about that. After all, the FF7 world obviously has some great medical technology-- why not give him a new hand? The science associated with that idea and Vincent's story in general inspired the binary. This was the first pic I've ever completely CGed. I've done backgrounds and touch-ups before, but I never completely colored anything because it took too long with the mouse. I picked myself up a tablet, though, and now I'm starting to feel more comfortable with CG coloring. I prefer the look of CG, myself, so I'm glad I could take that step. ^^
I've been working on this picture for months, actually. I thought of it while reading my friend Punni's FF7 fics; in a way this picture was inspired by her and in a way it was done for her, since I associate her with Vincent so much. I wanted to create a pic of Vincent that wasn't identical to most of the other pictures out there, even if only in design.
