So, uh, here's Zack! (The second bestest boi; First being my Sephy)

@EritsuIsTaken was the one who suggested this guy, I think?

QUOTE: "That girl, she said the sky frightened her. That (sky) looks so...liberating. Those wings...I want them too. It feels...good. If you see Aerith, say hi for me. Hey, would you say I became a hero?" -Zack Fair, Crisis Core; FFVII

Man, I kinda dislike how Zack turned out in this one, but then, I've said that for all of them except for Vincent, but his was the most accurate so far, so he gets a free pass. Don't mind him, just walking along, going through, being all Vincent-y and stuff. Now for the rant. Man, I really didn't want Zack to die. Imagine if he had survived all those years, into the time FFVII takes place; Perhaps he could have been a playable character, or even an NPC! (Although a playable character may be a bit of a stretch, since he is all too similar to his buddy, Cloud. But the point is, he should have survived. And before you say, "But it's for the story, just like Aerith's death!" I get it, I get it. But admit it, a small part of you wanted him to have survived, wanted him to have been interactable sometime in the game. Admit it. Just do it. Come on, there's no shame. You know that it's true, so there's really no use denying it. (Except for you Zack haters; just know that you guys absolutely break my heart.) I mean, just, *sigh*. And the way he died was rather brutal as well, although I guess not so much as Corneo being shoved off a cliff or Aerith being stabbed in the gut; being shot to death is actually quite merciful compared to those other two options. And he has nothing to show for his existence when he does finally meet his end; other than a horrible game called Crisis Core. I myself have never played it, but I have read about it, and it...doesn't sound great. I know that it's supposed to be how Zack learns what it means to be a hero, blah, blah, blah, all that jazz. But I just think that Square could have done better, y'know? I suppose that maybe that's just me, but that's what I have to say. Oh, wait, what's that, you say? I mentioned something about exclusive fanart being included in the title? *Sigh* fine, after a depressing rant, I suppose you've been reading to get to this part, so, here it is; I won't stall further; That pretty much sums up what I've been doing for the past several minutes; Stalling by letting out my opinions. Well, I'm just stalling further, so, here it is! But guys, it's like, two pieces, so, um...yeah.

THE FANART:

I get it; Extremely low resolution and quality; Not worth your time. I understand. I'm sorry. By the way, @ZeroToHero97 wanted to be mentioned in this post, so I am putting their username here! Remember: First person to comment to this post with a FFVII character gets it made! (And when I'm done with FFIX, I may do a series for creating those guys on Hero Forge, too; How am I gonna do Vivi...?)
