Final Fantasy VII - Sephiroth

"Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away"
Sephiroth in Advent Children

So you all probably all know who he is If not he's the main villain from Final Fantasy VII role-playing game and one of the most iconic video game characters of all time. He is one of those bad guys that I personally just love to hate.

In the beginning I was going to paint the classic scene from the game, where he is standing in the flames ([link]), but that have been done many times before, so I decided to go into an another direction. This is one of those scenes that were not showed in the actual game, but happened in the story nevertheless; Here Sephiroth is using the Black Materia (very powerful magical orb) to summon meteor to destroy the world.

And I didn't stop the changes in the direction there. He's armor, hair and face is here little bit different than in the original character artwork. Don't get me wrong, I was not trying to make him look better, as that would be utterly impossible. I just wanted to make my version of him and translate him in to my style. That being said, I think he is still very recognizable.

Edit: Did some editing to his eyes ^^

Oh wooooow, a Daily Deviation... that's just insane. And crazily awesome!!! I never thought that I would get one of those. Thank you so much stako [link] and Lyricanna [link] I Can't stop smiling now n__n
