Chibi Overload

Okay, so as I previously said, the lack of internet connection caused fanart.

I had this drawn before I went south but ended up letting my cousin's oldest kid Caleb (who is about 7) colour it in. He took my advice on colours though he was more heavy-handed on Yuffie's skin than I would be.
A good example of how is this picture:

I drew this mainly to show Caleb just how big Cloud's swords were (because I was pretty sure after my cousin mentioned how careful she was about what she allowed her kids to watch (she's christian, and a fair sight more conservative than I am) that she wouldn't appreciate me playing AC for them, let alone her husband allow me to use his laptop to play it).
I did get the handle of the Buster a bit crooked.
The colouring of Cloud's skin is exactly the same pencils Caleb used to colour Yuffie - only you can see I use a lighter hand than he did. Still, this was only the first attempt to colour skin with those pencils - Aerith turned out better.

My first ever Aerith chibi. Same set of pencils as Cloud and Yuffie above, but I perfected colouring skintone. After I initially put them in, Aerith's ribbon-ends looked a bit like neko ears.
After this Mum and I had an oppertunity to go shopping and I bought a low cost packet of colour pencils because frankly Caleb's pencils were run down in some colours by quite a bit and the packet I grabbed had a likely-looking peach colour that I could use for skin instead of juryrigging with yellow and pink.

My first every Tifa. Coloured with two-tone Faber Castel pencils (double ended pencils with different colours at each end).
Tifa was also the only reason I had any access to my cousin-in-law's laptop. He allowed me to print a copy of her Original Art so I had a drawing reference (though the printout had bad colouring because his printer seemed to have run out of blue ink).
This is also the first chibi I have had to make sure the bust is emphasised on (see above that I got away with Aerith hold flowers in front of her chest?).

This is an amusing image that I just had to draw.

This is a colaborative effort between me and Caleb. Since he never actually saw a picture of Bahamut he meerly drew a generic dragon.
I draw the small figures standing around the "dragon", and a rough outline for the righthand building. All colours and broken windows are Caleb's talents.

A picture of Tifa ala AC.
She's on the phone to Cloud's voicemail.

This is what Cloud's up to while Tifa is pestering his voicemail.

And this is what I imagine he's thinking about while smelling the flowers.
The original idea was a random field of flowers meant to be similar (if not the same one) to the one in the previous picture but as it turned out, it looked more to me of his first ever meeting with Aerith (therefore the charm of the field being the familiar breed of flower).


I also got around to colouring my Reno and Rude pictures.
Drawn while I was visiting my grandmother.

This is the second try at this picture, the first Seph didn't look suspicious, just surprised - plus his hair was markedly uneven and messy.
So, plenty of chibis.
