Final Fandisney - Sephiroth

And that makes 10 outta 10! Final Fandisney finalized!

Sephiroth was both the most daunting and most exciting character for me. I started the series a bit oblivious to the mistakes I could make, so while the previous illustrations served as 9 lessons in rendering, suddenly I was aware of every pixel out of place.

I was also dreading the fact that Disney villains are rarely charming and Sephiroth is nothing but charm. But I'd say his expression arrived at a fair balance between "I'm gonna delight you." and "I'm gonna destroy you." Special thanks to Troy Baker for having all the right referencable Sephiroth face qualities. ;D

To contrast with Cloud's black and yellow palette, the original plan was to make our angel boy here white and blue. But after realizing that no other character had a color-overhaul as extreme as that, I stuck with black. Even then, I wanted to include the classic Disney villain-purple, but he kind of just looked liked another colorful member of the team. So, colorless and solitary he remains. Here are the two alternates:


And here's his party:
