Sketching Sephiroth since a friend of mine kind of challenged me to do a smexy poster of him...
It started on twitter when she sent me a Private Message like this:
Translated talk:
Friend: “Washu, sorry to bother you but the last drawing of Sephiroth you posted it’s good and stuff yet it doesn’t look like him at all.”
Washu: “You know… I had the feeling you wouldn’t like him that way… Since you’re one of my fierce yet beloved critics! Next one I promise will be better… Just don’t know when I’ll do that though… =/”
Friend: “Get your lazy ass back here and listen to me, NOW!! >_< You’re one of my favorite fanartist!!! You’re forgetting our favorite Soldier’s face!!! THAT’S UNECCEPTABLE!!! DDDX”
Washu: “Woa… that was a quick reply… Are you stalking me??? D=”
Friend: “Yeah! I am… U_U BTW How are you?”
Washu: “I’m scared… It’s like you’re going to buy a ticket and come down to my city to beat the hell out of me… =___=’”
Friend: “That’s for Sephiroth’s sake… It’s worth it… *Packs up a huge camping bag*”
Washu: “NOES!!! Stay where the hell you are!!! I’ll do it again!!! I swear!!!”
Friend: “Ok… I’ll be waiting here…”
Washu: “You mean you want me to do it now?”
Friend: “*Starts packing again*”
Washu: OK!!! *Opens Painter IX*
And after a while with many failed sketches I got to one I finally liked. But anyway I had to use one of my fanarts as reference to see the shapes of his nose, mouth, eyes… etc… it was tiresome. But in the end I think it paid off…
Washu: *Shows her friend* How’s that??o0
Friend: *Packs Up*
Washu: Not good enough… *Cries*
Friend: No! That’s a LOT better! Anyway I’m going to your house to rape you so happy I am now! U_U
Washu: NOOOOOOOOOO!!! *Desperate*
Anyway… guess she liked his face now! But now that B*tch wants it finished and colored… Pray to heaven I will survive her demands!
Thanks for helping on my improvement Miss D! I love you!
Hope people also like the way it’s coming out. I’ll try to finish his body and color it just like that damn fanservice poster D suggested!
*Washu-M [If I don’t she’ll bring the CAT with her… ] PS: If you’d like to know WHO is the Cat see Cat O’ Nine Tails on WIKIPEDIA
Ack! Thanks for reminding me... I was trying to do a Sephiroth from Crisis Core where his bangs are shorter but then I decided to do the movie version anyway... the bangs are indeed longer
This one looks better indeed. That is more like Sephy. The other one really made me wonder "wth what happened, she did so much better in the past, this doesn't even look like Sephy too much". But I just thought that all artists have their ups and downs after all.
