Artist's Commentary
Sephiroth is undoubtedly one of my
favorite video game characters, so of course I would want to try and draw
him! ^__^ Sephiroth seemed to me like a very introspective person; at least,
before he went mad. -___- He seemed like the type who liked to do a lot of
thinking, so I tried to convey a sense of thoughtfulness and quietude about
Sephiroth's expression, as if he was just coming out of a pleasant reverie.
I'm not too sure I was very successful with that; his expression seems more
alert, now that I look at it again. A few minutes after the reverie,
perhaps? Also, I tried to do something different with the style I drew it
with. My usual drawing style is heavily anime/manga influenced, as one can
see in the previous Vincent art. But for this piece, I wanted to take a
break from that, and try drawing in a style I had not attempted for quite a
long time. I fear I am a little rusty though, as I glance yet again at the
drawing and keep noticing small things that could be adjusted...oh well,
maybe a second attempt will prove better. Not that I mind practicing drawing
Sephiroth! ^___^
