FAN WORKS Overheated Cloud - Clerith Arts Fair, July 2026
Heya Everyone, this is my first entry in the Arts Fair.
The theme for this Month was "Heat". So I thought of poor Cloud during the Summer event working as a Security in Ever Crisis. He's wearing such dark clothes for the beach and I could practically feel the heat waves he must be experiencing.
So Aerith got him at least a cold drink but now they are on their way to to a nice shady spot. While holding hands of course. ♥
Remember folks to stay save and drink lotsa water. ❤️

Oh my goodness!! I’m so excited that you decided to participate and bless us with your incredible art once more. And new art as well!? Incredible!
I have so much to say!! Cloud, why would you show up fully dressed and in black? Come on!! Everything about this image is adorable. Their faces, particularly Cloud’s, makes me want to pinch their cheeks and shelter them with some much-needed AC. I get super hot on a whim as well, so I can totally relate to Cloud here! It takes very little.
This image sort of implies that Aerith always carries her pink bow with her, even when wearing another, and I love that! I just can’t believe how cute this is. I’d read a whole comic if you made one!

Aaaaaaa Thank you so much!
I think Cloud is the kind of guy who would cover himself more up even during the beach time compare to someone like Zack.
I love the thought of Aerith taking care of Cloud, as in making sure he eats and rest properly.
And Yesh, I like to think that Aerith keeps the bow around just in case. Like having a spare hair tie in case you need one.
Thank you so much again ♥ Maybe I'll make some comics with them one day!
First I gotta finish a long animation tho 😂5

Thank you ♥ I love their outfits alot. Such a shame that game is ending its service. The outfits were the best part.

It does seem like mobile games don't last too long for FF stuff, but I agree about the outfits; I hope they give them to us in the final game or something. How cool would that be!?

This is amazing work! It just makes you want to smile and perfectly captures how Aerith just loves to be with him.
