That first one is cool, but it bothers me that they gave Cloud blonde eyelashes. :/ lol

But that second one is cute. :3

 

[Tifabelle]

I LOVE THAT SECOND ONE. I saw it in the other thread too. oh god, it might be one of my new favs.

I just realized Cloud (at least ACC Cloud) has black eyelashes, BUT very blonde eyebrows. Speaking as a very fair person myself, this is a bit strange. Blondes can have dark eye lashes, but then usually the rest of the body hair is dark as well. (This is the typical Scandinavian type, I guess - blonde but with dark body hairs and a skin type that handles the sun fairly well.) If you're blonde with more of a fair skin type and fair body hair as well, you usually have light eyelashes too.

But I guess having blonde eyelashes as well would have made him look more albino than blonde, considering he's "asian pale" (meaning more yellow than red undetones in his skin) as well with that blonde hair

/eyelash rant

 

[Tennyo]

I'm blonde with black eyelashes.

My eyebrows are a slightly darker shade of blonde, but still blonde.

The rest of me is darker still but still somewhat blonde.

 

[Fangu]

So are they black, or like darker brown? I'm guess what I'm trying to say is that the combo of black, like very black lashes and platinum blonde eyebrows is a bit weird. (Not that it wouldn't/ couldn't happen! Everything is possible in the delightful world that is diversity )

I think what looks more unnatural to me with ACC Cloud is that his pupils are too big, and his eyes in general also are too big. Other than that I think they did a good job.

Edit: Alexander Skarsgaard is of similar colors, but his eyebrows are still not super blonde - even though he is as blonde as they come.

 

[Tifabelle]

OMG ALEXANDER SKARSGAARD HNNNNNGGG *fap fap*


sorry to interrupt

 

[ForceStealer]

Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen eyelashes of any color other than black/dark.

What I'm gathering here is what arfurido REALLY wants to know is if Cloud's drapes match the carpet.

Like that thought didn't cross everyone's mind

And yes, I, erm... would presume they do.
*fans self*

Edit: Had to change the pic, the old one was gone

Cut the crap, people. The answer is simple.

Everyone in the FFVII world are born wearing water-resistant mascara.

I demand Cloud Tribute with this song. Immediately.

Spoiler: Lyrics

They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone,
n' hope has been succesfully undone
The question's burning on, where is it coming from,
no-one seems to know the monster born

It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible
Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable
Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day
Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime

They're locking up the sun, they have their chosen one,
you know this time they'll make him play along
They're taking to the arms, the fathers and their sons,
there's nowhere left to run and hide

It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible
Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable
Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible
And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all

Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day
Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away
Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime

And in the emptiness, there's a solution,
just look within yourself for absolution

And generally, the majority of the songs by The Poets of the Fall.

 

[Tennyo]

I know people with blonde eyelashes

My mom has blonde eyelashes kind of

Also I'm blonde but I'm not a bleach blonde. Cloud's hair and eyebrows (and carpeting) are far lighter than mine.

This came up on my ipod, it really reminds me of Cloud. A lot of it can apply to Cloud/Zack, but I think it's more of a Cloud general song.

 

[Marle]

City & Colour. Dallas Green. I swear, so many of his songs remind me of our disturbed hero.

Spoiler: lyrics

This highway's dark and empty.
Just miles and miles of endless road.
I've got a sickness pounding in my head.
I'm at the mercy of the ghost.

What will it take to live as if I would not another day?
To live without despair, and to be without disdain.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?

I sought after, after reasons to stay.
I was lost, I was lost.
Then the sky turned black,
And the rains poured down.
I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.

How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?

Then I would sing all that I could sing
Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time.
Oh when I sing all that I can sing
Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right.
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Oh when I sing, oh when I sing

Oh, wow. Sakimichan drew Cloud and posted it on her tumblr.

I guess we'll have a bigger version when she posts it on DA, but until then...

 

[Tennyo]

That is rather fabulous.

And I feel like Cloud looks like someone. Like a celebrity...

 

[looneymoon]

Spoiler: ?

 

[Edley]

That is rather fabulous.

And I feel like Cloud looks like someone. Like a celebrity...

Alex Pettyfer?

Or Ryan Gosling?

 

[Fangu]

Tea-chan, wow. She gave him a personality, a face, made him come alive. This is what I think makes an accomplished artist. I love the way she gave him a hint of kind of a "worried-brow". I approve immensely of that piece.

 

[Ite]

He looks like buddy-guy from Social Network and the new Spiderman movie.

 

[Elisa Maza]

Hallelujah, she posted it on DA!

Spoiler: In ginormous size.

 

[Fangu]

Holy. Fuck.
