Valentine - 'Redemption'

I'll flap my broken wings
And erase it all someday, you'll see
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight

A portrait of Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy VII and Dirge of Cerberus. It's been over a year since I've drawn him, or anything Final Fantasy for that matter.

The scan is a little grainy, but it came out fairly well. I'm very proud of this one. But I was actually considering tossing this one because when beginning the face, it was looking horrible. I've had some time to practice hair, and I like how his hair turned out. But then again, straight black hair is easier to draw than wavy brown hair with highlights.

This piece is dedicated to fellow Vincent fanatic, . Think of it as a late birthday present.
