Inktober day 29 (Sephiroth/ Final Fantasy 7)

Image 29 in my tribute to retro and indie games. This character and game are very central to my love of storytelling, though many stories have deeply affected me over the years, a few key moments in this tale are a sort of bedrock that much of my creativity has built from. When choosing a representation of Sephiroth I wanted to recreate the impression I had of the character before the years of built-up fan art and company reinterpretation...So I settled on an amalgam of the final moments that Cloud interacts with him. Traditional Ink and Pencil (drawn in 4 pieces) compiled and color graded digitally with minor tweaks and cleanup.
