Description Aeris. ^^
Mm... I wanted to draw her, since I seem to quickly forget how to do so very fast.

I wanna dedicate it to as well, she's a bigger Aeris fan than I am a Tifa fan, yah sis? I will color this and add a background some time later on.

As I finished the sketching a few days ago, I was playing FF 7 at the same time. Kinda sad, when I thought about it, Aeris is a bright beacon of joy. Her life has been as tragic as anyone else's in the story, but she seems to always be happy, regardless of her situation.

Thanks, Dan.
Ahh, but, to be an artist, and to create imagery, give birth to your thoughts and make them immortal, it's very cool, something to be thankful for, we all learn along the way and it never seems to get boring so long as we try to get better at it. It's like a fun, never ending RPG, hehe! Level up skillz with art exp. =o

no problem ^_^
you can just call me tare if you want

I've never been a huge fan of Aerith, I like Tifa more, but you've made her really likable and cute here
not to mention how nice your outlines are
they're so crisp and bold

Kay kay, Tare, hehe.
I like Tifa more than Aerith as well, but both of them were really sweet heroines. I like Yuffie (must make a Kingdom Hearts style Yuffie fanart, I MUST REMIND MYSELF OF THIS)as well, but.. Tifa reigns supreme.

Thank you, again. ^_^

yes they were
but I tended not to use Aerith in my party
much like Selphie from VIII (quistis kicks ass) >_>;;

ee! you like KH too XD
awesome
I love it

why did Squall change his name anyways?
I was rather happily surprised when I saw yuffie, squall and moogles in the game for the first time lol

Hahaha, I didn't use Aerith all that much at all, the last time that I had played FF 7, either. But, she does have the most useful Limit Break out of them allll, I gotta say. Great Gospel is like cheating death, full hp/mp AND invicibility for the remainder of the battle! If she didn't die before DISK 2... she woulda been so helpful. But, then again, I don't like a fight when it's too easy, especially boss fights.

Hehehe, Quistis fan, eh!? She was in my party almost all the time. I liked Selphie too tho, she was neat to use and had good Limit Breaks (But Quistis' OWNS everyone elses, like Degenerator and Shockwave Pulsar :Heart. The only person in FF 8 that I despised utterly and completely, no matter what they did, and didn't use if I didn't have to, it was Rinoa. Rinoadieplz.

I wasn't all that excited about KH, when it was first out. In fact, I was totally hating on it. Ah, but when I decided to get a used copy for myself, and play it... it took about 80 hours, but, slowly, I started to forget why I didn't like KH to begin with. One I had learned the Glide skill, KH became a whole lot more fun. xD It just gets better and better, and I'm not even done with it, yet, wooo.

I'm not sure why Squall changed his name. Or why Aerith lives... (why no Tifa in KH? That sucks, but she probably wouldn't be treated right anyway, like the rest of the FF charas were not) Or why the FF charas all live in a one room run down hovel and call it a 'hideout', it's a slap in the face to the FF fans, what happened to the Squaresoft charas in KH. That was one thing that I didn't like about KH at first, but, somehow, I began to overlook it all, after a while.
Also something that stumps is is that Sora can beat up Squall and Cloud. SQUALL. AND CLOUD.
But, hey, nothing else makes sense in the game, so, yey?
I liked seeing Yuffie and the others too! The first time I saw Yuffie, I was like 'awwww'. I forgot that she was even in the game, til that point came, even tho I had been bombarded with countless spoilers before I had even played the game.

yes Rinoa's pretty pathetic, yet at times her limit breaks can be useful
such as the wishing star and angel wing ones
even though angel wing pisses me off quite alot >_<
it generally refuses to cast a helpful spell
I've played VIII .. let's see four times now, and I've only used Rinoa for the first time in the last game lol



ah yes
and especially when Sora's still so low of a level at that time
he shouldn't be able to beat either of them
it should have only been one of the instances where you have to get beaten by said FF hero to move the plot along, you know?

which somehow reminds me
my lord Ursula is an annoying boss >_< !!!!

*blink*

Oh my, you just HAVE to colour this one, EC. ;_: Like, I can just pichur it all and stuff being coloured, and it'd look really neet, yuss yuss. I really luff the expression ya gave her...not exactly trippy happy, but smiling in a hopeful manner, it'd seem. ^^ I also like the detail in this. ::nods:: A very luffly piece indeed.

Thanks, sis. ^_^

Simply put: insane. I just LOVE this one. And yeah I know Aeris is one of my fave chars on FF/ but sitll, it's just an awesome work!. The pose, the antaomy, the perspective, and the angle (just like in your cutey honey pic). However what really shocked me is the amount of detail. Insanity. All the clothe folds, the flowers, the jacket... everything's so good @_@. And her expression perfectly fits her.
Man you did an awesome work here. Far beyond fav worthy.
I can't imagine how more insane it become if oyu ever get to color it =O

I would have figured you to have been a Tifa fan, or maybe someone else, Aerith is a bit of a surprise, but it's a welcomed one~

LigerNekoka [2004-07-28 01:05:58 +0000 UTC]

Wowie. *gasp* You drew her even prettier than she is in the game!! And it seems like you added a detail or two. I don't think I've seen two pockets on her coat, there. But ah well. She's still purty. -D I love how you draw her eyes. Looking for danger where it's not expected, yet still looking so calm and seemingly unaware of the outside world.

Aerith's like that alright! She'll smile in the very situation of certain death, and bop it on the head with her staff.

Except for like.. that one time.
