Cloud Strife in Final Fantasy VII Remake 7/?
reference sketch for chapter 5 of At Dawn.
lowkey love the visual symmetry you always get because they're opposite-handed. did fuck up the height difference though - we're gonna say Cloud's in the foreground
~~~~~~~~~
I originally called this 'a gently Sefikura epilogue' and then went and sketched out 10 chapters and now it's looking like an *aggressively* Sefikura epilogue haha. (Note the ratings bump.) We start with a speculative stab at the Remake/Rebirth universe final battle and go on from there with some ✨Cetra magic✨ and eventual warm fuzzies.
I was going to post this for Cloud's birthday, but well, it is what it is. Belated happy birthday little dude ‧₊˚ ☁️
As always, prints available at INPRNT
Chapter 7 is up!!
They're more and less comfortable together now.
For some time they proceed as they were before, because that’s what feels simplest in the plain light of day.
Sephiroth’s understanding of where to go has become more nuanced since his ordeal, and he leads them with purpose.
He hears whispers, sees flashes of other lives lived in these lands as they pass through. Insubstantial farmers waking with the dawn and working until the sun is high; ghostly hunters stalking their prey at dusk; a robed group of nomads from long, long ago whose apparitions sing their way through the landscape each night with twinkling viridian flecks swirling around them like dust motes.
The hills here are gentle and covered alternately with kaleidoscopic floral expanses and long, yellowed, rusty-dry waving grass that looks soft from far away but whips and prickles if you reach for it as you walk.
As they carve their long parallel paths towards the horizon, twin memories of the silvery twilight forest and the amber-gold afternoon meadow simmer under their skin and flash unbidden in their minds.
final chapter list for At Dawn
it's about to hurt for a couple chapters, sorry
but they say it's always darkest before the dawn...
”Crowww stop being so emotional over every minuscule Sephiroth detail alre—” I REFUSE.
I just can’t believe they added this detail of him being struck by Nibelheim’s natural beauty. He had never seen anywhere so picturesque before.
And it was his hometown. He didn’t even know that he was smitten with the beauty of his own hometown.
