"My tribe were protectors of those who appreciate this beautiful canyon and the Planet. My brave mother fought and died here, but my cowardly father left her...... I am the last of my race." - Red XIII/Nanaki, Final Fantasy VII

This is my depiction of the death of Nanaki's mother during the Gi tribe attack on them. This IS, of course, assuming Nanaki was a cub back then 'cause the game didn't really specify how long ago it happened. You can just see the Lion King hints all over this drawing. ^^; (Mainly because I used Lion King references to do this. There's not that many good Lion King pics around the Internet.:O_o: )

This is my first time drawing Nanaki as a cub (actually, it's my first time drawing Nanaki PERIOD), so don't be too critical of me, please. ^^;

I love my feathers... :aww:

I think it's a wonderful concept and drawing. I think you are right to assume he was a cub at the time as they say in the game that the Gi tribe attacked a 'long time ago' and Nanaki has little memory of what really went on, his whole misunderstanding about his father, Sato, being a result of this...but then that is also my opinion, lol
I finding it hard to critique this as when I go to fullview it's really huge. But I can't really see anything to point out as is. It's adorable and the initial emotional reaction of Nanaki is well done. Would love to see this in color with some background scenary.
Keep up the good work!
Best Wishes,

Mel

:) Thanks for the wonderful feedback. I'm terribly sorry about the size so I've gone back and fixed that. ^^; If you want you can go fullview it again.

All of the drawings of my Seven Sorrows of Final Fantasy VII point out parts of the different stories that are not really focused on in the game (well, except for one or two of them...). Because of that, I've intended the drawings to be in black and white in order to convey these scenes as "overlooked" in the game. However, I have considered coloring them and might do so sometime in the future. :D

Your welcome, and don't apologize I've done the same thing myself before, lol. I did view it full size and still don't find anything to complain about :D

I see, I understand now why you have it black and white, that intention makes perfect sense. Thank you for taking the time to go over that for me. And if you do color them in the future be sure to keep the original black and white, nice to have both sets ne?

I look forward to see the following drawings. Will be trying to guess which vague points you will be hitting on. Think I'll put a watch on you (if that doesn't sound stalkerish!)
Take care,
Mel

PS I just realized I spelled Nanaki's father's name wrong *sheepish* sheesh
:iconzeroraptor:
:lol: Don't worry, plenty of people have gotten Seto's name wrong too. (And then there's others who don't even know his name.)

:aww: Thanks for the :+devwatch:.
