Some Cloud and Tifa from the dieslepunk!FF7 Au thang.

I’ve made Cloud look more like an awkward teenager than his beef-cakey self from the previous design, simply because when he joined soldier he was at the tender age of 15 or so and then he was stuck in a tube for 7 years and didn’t really get his normal dietary intake of nutrients and didn’t really… age.  Mentally, emotionally, physically….  So he’s a bit on the scrawny side, although he’s been infused with Mako energy…so he’s kind of got a mako-powered super strength going on.  These expressions are all from the earlier parts of the story, when he’s still an emo git and hates the world.  I figured the one smile in this image is when he’s interacting with Aerith at some point.  He also has a more interesting nose than before.

Look look I drew tifa too.  I think it’s the first time i have EVER drawn her.   I decided to go the route of Monk x Terrorist / Rebel for her, because that’s supposedly what she is (with a cover of being a bar owner).  In my head she’s pretty much her own bouncer xD  You don’t pull shit in 7th heaven.  I also pictured her a bit more emotionally hardened from her experiences, having lived through her entire family being slaughtered and then being thrust into the unwelcoming underground of Midgar.  I guess she’s probably happiest when she’s punching people. xD  Oh and I ditched the mini skirt / belly shirt ensemble for something that more closely resembled her AC outfit (despite the AC outfits being TOTALLY off topic and devoid of any feeling or historical period).  I wrote it off in this design as being an old soldier uniform she jacked and modded, or possibly a uniform that AVALANCHE as a group stole from the government.

omfg these are so gorgeous I can’t even please marry me
