Description

My friend, the fates are cruel.
There are no dreams, no honour remains.
The arrow has left the bow of the Goddess.
-Loveless


Update: Yay, got better adjustments in PS! :w00t:

Sooo, background added. About ten hours of work - yes, I'm slow :D This is the first bg i've ever drew and in this size. I loved the drawing of Shinra pipes, they were awesome :dummy: To compensate, those steel-joist-things in front and below the Shinra logo were a real nightmare, the reference image was really dark ò.Ó

My scanner still screws up my pics, and PS couldn't make it look like the original, which is somewhat darker. If I ever get a better scan, I'll update it. (I probably won't get it. It's just to convince myself that I'll be capable of getting my scanner work as I like it)

Also, I've touched up some details in the shadings on Zack, in his hair (still the best part f the pic in my opinion :la:) and also got his arms better.

WIP: [link]

I'd like to dedicate this pic to two of the (in my opinion) best pencil artists I've ever met on DA who were my main inspiration to start with pencil portraits and whose tutorials and galleries were a real help; they are =D17rulez :icond17rulez: (I'm in love with her video tutos :lol: ) and `Cataclysm-X :iconcataclysm-x: (in the hope she ever reads this, I beg you to finish your Zack Fair fanart because you just can't let that great skin texture unfinished :D)
