Howzat!
Sephiroth smashing Cloud's delivery for a six. Both characters from Final Fantasy VII
 
Done for a contest. Basically it was draw Sephiroth the theme is War. A somewhat borderline entry which warrented the following explanation.  I like putting my own spin on things.

War is a conflict of some form between two parties with opposing goals. Ergo any form of sport can be seen as war. As you either have individual compeditors or teams of comeditors trying to make sure they and not the opposition win. If you think war must be violent and bloody then watch a game of football.

As for weapons look no further than the Samoan cricket bat Sephiroth is weilding (draw from the one we have in our living room back home I'm proud to say). I always found it hard to believe it was meant for sport rather than smiting enemies. But then Samoan cricket and indead cricket across the Pacific is an evoloution of their traditional ritual warfare. The cricket bat also serves as a good substitute for Seph's Masamune sword.

I'm actually both really pleased and somewhat amazed at how well the perspective turned out considering perspective is definitely not my forte. The title is meant to said in a long drawn out Australian shout. Preferably in unison with the rest of the slips (feilding position).
