A fan art wallpaper - Kratos Aurion VS Cloud Strife

Kratos Aurion Tales Of Syphonia VS Cloud Strife FFVII


Takes about 2 weeks to complete.. this wall was on request by a user in animewallpaper forum.
I just new in hand drawn wallpaper so I try my luck to do this.

Using Poser 6 software to do the pose of the character, the job difficulty was cut into half. Save it as JPEG and load in in photoshop. Then I trace the skeleton of the character with it. The reference for kratos was great, so it didnt took much time to draw it.

Unfortunately Cloud character is a big headache. the official character itself has 3 version, one from the original FFVII, one from Kingdom Hearts and one from Advent Children. You can count it as 4 I guess if you count the latest FFVII series "Crisis Core".

First I try to refer from Advent Children. the clothing turns out fine, but the face was a bizzare..
He looks like Trunks Dragonball in Cloud Advent Children suite.

Not satisfy with how it turns out, I use Dark Cloud from Kingdom Heart for his head. Instead of drawing from skretch, I trace it out from the original picture.
Luckily I have a great reference for his weapon, so I just trace it.
Kratos sword is simple so no big deal for it.

Cloud and Kratos with their weapon completely drawn.

For the background, it took many days for the inspiration, but the drawing didnt took even a day. Referenced from Tales of Symphonia OVA screenshot, I just move it in a suitable position and trace it with Painter. Then I added a big block of rock for them to stood on. The rest is just a simple photoshop filter.

Its not being critics yet by forumers right now (the day this was posted), but I feel great because the wall is accepted by the one who request it. He even give a rep to me, which I not expected.
