vincent hair is also hard.. here's a tutorial for his hair
extra:
his ears are sometimes visible, is it important to his overall design? not really
the fabric in his head covers the top half of his eyebrows
in FF7R his lower front bangs reaches his nose
his EC potrait is a very good reference if you find his FF7R hard to discern
have you perhaps considered.... vincent valentine (still find it hilarious how zack reacted to finding a guy asleep in a coffin and basically going "whoops better let this guy nap!!")
secret cutscene from crisis core that Big Squeenix doesn't want you to know about
Happy 1st bday FF7EC
me…
Guess what everyone, the semester is over so time for new old art. New to this blog but stuff i drew during the semester with no time to post or talk about anything other than my masters program.
First, just a final fantasy drawing dump. Fun fact, when I am inspirationless I draw viera, it’s usually always Fran or Fran adjacent
Then of course Vincent Valentine
FF7 REBIRTH IS HERE! I really wanted to celebrate with my favorite character ever and his evolution ❤️ (yes yes I know it won’t be playable but I’m very happy to see him!). I wish you all a good game!
"Crowmaster suit" 🖤 V i n c e n t V a l e n t i n e 🖤 FINAL FANTASY VII : EVER CRISIS
Veld/Verdot is the leader of the Turks in Before Crisis, a mobile phone game released in episodes from 2004. Through the story we discover that Verdot is an old collegue/partner of Vincent in the past: it is a surprise for him to meet his old colleague not aged, pale and with a strange presentation. Ambushed by BC's Avalanche soldiers, the enemies of this story, Veld asks Vincent to help the player fighting these soldiers: then, Vincent helps Verdot finding a materia used to summon Zirconiade, a being that can destroy the world, so that the Turks may stop it. Who put the materia there? Dunno, but whatever the answer is, Vincent knows where the materia is located, he helps us , and then the story goes on. (The materia is then stolen by an Avalanche soldier, but it doesn’t matter for our interests).
This is the reversal of the #5 part of the Compilation: while in that case Vincent is an ally to Avalanche and an enemy to the Turks, this time he helps the Turks from Fuhito’s schemes, this guy being the intellectual force of BC's avalanche: he's great in science and tactical warfare (the Avalanche equivalent of Hojo, basically), and also the antagonist of the game, who wants to use Veld’s daughter, Elfé, in order to summon Zirconiade.
So, what matters to me:
- The backstory: this is one of two times in which we have a backstory for Vincent that is not related to Nibelheim and the horrors behind Shinra Manor’s doors. We discover that Vincent had a “partner” in the past with an alliteration in their name, just like Reno and Rude, and judging by Verdot’s words, he was a good and reliable partner – Reno and Rude, again. Vincent changed, though, despite the appearances: when Veld tells him they should see each other again, Vincent thinks he won’t return home with Verdot, because he has to “atone for his sins”. Don't ask me the reason why Vincent chose to think so, because he could have returned to the Turks and they would have been willing to defend him from Hojo's schemes, they help each oher from many dangers, after all. The answer may lie in the fact that, well, og exists, and he must be found by 2007's avalanche in the coffin, but I admit that a better excuse than "atoning for my sins" could have been chosen, like Vincent being a danger to society and everyone around him. But in the end, Vincent having a friendly face from his past matters, and by the way he doesn't tell Veld his thoughts, maybe not to hurt him. I wish for a closure between the two partners in the future.
- Vincent doesn’t care in factions, he only tries to help people who need him. Be them a splinter cell of Avalanche who wants to save the world or two Turks with the mission of saving the world, he’s just there to save the day. Gotta love his dedication to the job.
