On Hallowed Groundby ~Jodimus

This labour of love was inspired by Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt". During the planning stages of this picture, I had to get into the mind of the character and invoke certain emotions, but somehow I'd dug a little too deep and actually gotten myself mildly depressed for a week. Try it some time. Cloud is an utter mess. The more he thinks about Aerith, the more he misses her, triggering the colosal amount of guilt in his achy-breaky heart and that's caused him to feel more alone and abject than ever. In fact, he's so off the deep-end that he can even see her in his hallucinations as we can all see from the movie. Y'know what I think? I think he's been secretly trafficking drugs. How else can a delivery boy afford a pimp-bike like his? Hmm? Onward, the initial sketch is located here [link] if anyone is interested and a close-up can be found here: [link]

i love it. ♥ that's so true, he's just broke without her. hehe. but it paid off when aerith's voice (in the movie) said that it was very important to her that cloud came for her and that he shouldn't be guilty over anything. ~
