Final Fantasy VII
Vincent Valentine

"I chose Art Nouveau for this round thinking it would be much easier and less time-consuming than Impressionism or Baroque style-- ha! Ha ha ha! Anyway, it suits Vincent, who is much more flamboyant than many people will admit to. I tried to compose a symbolic and melodramatic tableau of his torments - thirty years of temporal displacement, his nearly uncontrollable transformations, and Lucrecia who stabbed his bleeding heart with sundry rusted utensils of agony - but mostly I liked colouring the roses. I hope it doesn't disappoint too much!"
