I Will Never be a Memory

You may wonder, why Sephiroth? Why now?

Well... Because a friend asked nicely and patiently waited for it, also, I finally had time to finish it and gained a bit more skill so I felt more confident.



<sub>And so after months of headaches trying to figure out just how the hell I was supposed to draw grey hair, out of a really dark reference with some really weird tones, and many composition problems, I have finished... or decided to stop and hand this to its owner anyway xD

Ths was started like... seven months ago, and there was an earlier attempt, too, but I decided to expand it because the point of interest changed and whatnot. I kept setting it aside for MONTHS and working on it like, a few hours every once in a loooooong while xD Damn I am king of procrastination, that reminds me, I still need to finish that pokemon drawing D:

The hair, damn that hair, I didn´t understand it at all, and I still kinda don´t! That´s mainly why it took so long, that and the fire, which is a bit more subtle in real life but the scan accented contrasts there a bit. I had to clean off a lot of scanner dust, trying to figure out what was my own human error and what was the scanner´s damn fault Also the scanner made these weird reflections across the page, that scanner usually does that, no matter what setting it´s under so I had to try and fix THAT x_x

The highlights on the fire, well the last tiny ones, gah, I just finally gave up and used the eraser, I know I could have done it better if I´d drawn around, but I´d just been working on it for so long, oh well. I also had to stretch the fire places so that it could fit the paper it´s just... such a mess @_@</sub>
