a fanart of Nanaki (Red XIII) from Final Fantasy VII for my friend, Maiku, a huge Nanaki fan. I've never drawn an animal like that, and had no idea how my own style of drawing would apply to drawing a fanart of Nanaki... I wanted so much to be able to capture his humanly emotion, while drawing him in his animal-like body, but I don't know how that worked out. In the end, Nanaki is one of my favorite characters in Final Fantasy VII (I gave up on listing favorites in order... I found that mostly I have a top 7, and my favorites are in there, each loved with the same intensity but on a different level, though I admit that I am most obsessed with Cloud... but it isn't as you think.) and I just wanted to be able to portray him in a way that I saw him- a character who is wise beyond his years, despite his mental maturity (although in physical age, he's older than the other characters, lol).
<3 Done entirely in Photoshop 8, coloring is unusual for me because it was done highlighting against the darker red, rather than shading against a light color. I don't think it threw me off at all, but it was different for me. ^_^ |

Thank you. I love Nanaki too. He really is an amazing and wise character.
Thank you very much for your input. It's good to know that it's appreciated by someone who has an appreciation for animal and anthro art (judging by the types of images in your favorites) ^_^ It just makes your input that much more valuable, because I myself (while I appreciate the art) don't really draw these types of things very often.
I'm a bit confused about the foreleg thing... could you be more specific? I don't really know what you mean
Thank you again for commenting, though. ^_^
