Chapter 7's picture, a slightly modified version of the scene where Sun shows Sephiroth the stained glass windows in the church, wanting to prove that wings aren't bad. I wasn't particularly impressed with the sketch or the lineart, so I didn't scan either of those versions.

I was trying to work on chapter 1's picture, with Zack running down the stairs and seeing the Master Clone and Seph, but it isn't coming out. XD; I hate to scrap the pic and start over, because I like how Zack came out. But something has to be fixed if I keep the current version. Seph and the clone's expressions, or the way I tried to depict that they're wounded without being graphic, or their hands, or *something.* The wings going everywhere aren't coming out either. **tried to modify it so that they wouldn't be next to each other, but it's still confusing.**

I shouldn't have done this, with all the comms I'm in, but I took up claiming FF7 at 18coda after rose_of_pollux discovered the comm. Music-related prompts, such fun! X3 Vague plunnies are bouncing around for some of them.

Adorable pic!

Aww, that's such an adorable pic! And I love Seph's expression! He's truly grateful for Sun accepting him!
I totally happened upon 18coda by coincidence; I was looking for a few communities to join, and the music-related prompts looked too good to pass up! I've already received inspirations, too... though they shall have to wait until May... ah, well...
Again, great pic!

Thanks! ^^ I would say Seph is more gently touched than outright grateful, though it's got to be a breath of fresh air to have a kid like him instead of being mean to him like most people were acting. Seph isn't really looking to be accepted, but the prejudice is driving him mad.

I love finding good comms by coincidence. XD

Awww, Sun is so adorable in this pic!^^ And I love Seph's smile. And the colors are gorgeous!^^ **loves the blue, and the stained glass window.**

Wow, that sounds complicated! And yeah, it would be awful to scrap it after Zack coming out so well. I don't mind taking a look at it, if you want! Not sure if I can help, but I'd be happy to try.^^

Yay for another comm! Those prompts were really fun.^^ Using music terms is such a cool idea! I'm definitely interested to see what you come up with for them.^^

Thanks! ^^ Yeah, I like how it came out in color. Seph's wings are always fun to color, and it was interesting picking the hues for the window.

Thanks for the offer! ^^ I haven't scanned it in, but I might do that the next time I'm using the scanner.

**pets prompts.** One thing I'm going to do is the ficlit with Aerith and Zack and the I'll Be There song, taking place before the original game. ;__; So bittersweet!

I'll be looking forward to it!^^

Oooh. That would be such a great one to do!^^ Definitely bittersweet, though.

Very nice coloring. ^_^

Thanks. ^^ These pics are fun to work with.

I really like the expressions (ooh, this feels familiar), and the bold, solic colors on the stained glass window really make it stand out. Sun's hair is very nicely detailed, and those wings look like they must've taken forever! The pillars add a nice sense of...um, architecture?...to the background, and really give you a feeling that they're in a church...and I don't know if it was intentional, but I like the way Sun seems to be sort-of standing on tiptoe to point to the window above her. ^_^

Thanks! ^^ Yeah, the wings always take a long time to do, moreso as I go on and try to make them even more realistic/accurate. I enjoyed picking the colors to use on the window, and adding the other details such as the pillars.

And yep, the tip-toe was intentional! ^^ Glad you noticed!
