Back Then

Hey everyone,

You know, I always wondered why Tifa never told anyone what really happened and that Cloud never led her up to Mount Nibel....---or if she did and no one believed her because she was kid, then I feel sorry for her. But I know she remembered because she does recall going up there!---Anyone like to argue that? XD I'm being dumb.

Also, here's a black and white version of it: [link]

Well, I wish I could digitally color better, but right now...this'll have to do. Just practicing with colors more...and a somewhat background. Cloud's knees are all scratched and his face and arm have little bruises forming. He's kinda toying with the hem of his t-shirt and taking a step back, because I have noticed little kids do that when they're scared or nervous; I know I used to when I was in trouble!

So here's a younger Cloud, with a small little spikey hair-do. I think I drew him pretty good as a child. As of this time this is a work in progress, because I will be coloring this. I thought the words were pretty cool too.

I remember when playing this part of the game, I always felt really sorry for Cloud. I mean it must've been traumatic for him. I think by this time in his life, he knows the consequences and effects of life and death. Surely his mom must've told him something about his dad. That guy who tells him a bunch of stuff and points the finger at him had a profound everlasting effect on him; come on man! It's a kid and you're telling him basically. "Hey Cloud! It's your fault if she dies!" And THEN they just leave him alone on a mountain! Geez, what a bunch of MATURE adults. -_-"

So anyways! Here's the link to that part of the game where I got the quotes: [link] It starts about 7:38.

I used two brushes from two different sources to kinda give the background and ground some textures by:
