this is a classical version of Sephiroth I been painting on Photoshop CS3. Its taken about 5 days to paint. I was inspired by the work of Antony Van Dyke and thats where I took my inspiration for the classical look. I wanted to paint sephiroth totally different from how others have. I wanted him to look like a classical knight or noble man from the 1600-1700. Also I worked from a lot of refs of Sephiroth to make up a new pose rather than working from just one photo.
