Comments:  Final Fantasy 7 was a great game and Cloud was a very cool character.  I'll colour
                  more of the fanart I've done from it later.  I got the pose straight out of the strategy guide for the game, so all credit for that goes to the original artist. 

     I decided to colour this one, and I'm really really pleased with the result.  It's  pretty much exactly what I wanted.  Now I can use the dodge and burn tools in photoshop to do my shading with the tablet.  I love the look that those tools give to shading.  The sword came out looking a little too worn, but aside from that, I love the outcome.  This is also the first time I've really done any work with highlights, utilizing the burn effect.  I'll put that to use in the future, without a doubt.
