Description Update: since this piece got so popular I put in some extra love and updated a few details

Terra Branford for the Final Fantasy tribute hosted by

This was originally a lazy sketch that I decided that I wanted to finish to see how far I could push an image and I must say I'm quite happy with it. (Lazy sketch here: [link] )

Terra was always one of my favorite heroines. She's brave and strong but she's also very delicate and afraid of the future. She goes through a lot during FFVI and sincerely I couldn't stay without her on my team

So here's a little tribute to one of my favorite game series and one of my favorite character designers.

Hope you enjoy it

I don't know what else to say apart that she looks absolutely perfect, from the facial features and pose to the blonde hair with green eyes, she looks exactly the way I imagine her. Definitely one of my favourite depictions of Terra

Wow! I love the soft flow of her hair, her distant gaze, and the use of subtle colors and shadows all around so beautiful

I heard VI and VII are the best ones, but that's all I know. Β Is X good or bad? Β I can't stomach the horrid laughter, but...and is XIII really that bad?

Gabriela-Birchal In reply to UseTheBrakes [2013-07-24 15:45:08 +0000 UTC]

My favorite ones are IV, VI, IX and XII. I've seen my bf play X and it's really really good, and I think the laugh is akward on purpose, since they're in a tense moment just seconds before itΒ

Oh, I gotcha. Β It's still pretty damn funny anyway. Β I hear the whole debate is Kefka vs Sephiroth...that I can't tell you anything about other than I know Kefka is the Joker of Final Fantasy, and usually the Joker of a series is awesome. Β I mean, in Mario, everyone loves Dimentio!

Yes! And kefka totally owns Sephirot (totally biased XD)

I have really biased opinions too. Β But for Rosalina instead. Β But she's in Mario...

She be in Smash! Β And I know she will be, but I also know she won't be playable. Β I can dream.

This is absolutely beautiful. Terra is an amazing character, so mysterious and beautiful, and you've captured that mystery and beauty here. I love how you've combined the Amano design with your own flair. Great stuff!

Thank you very much, from the FF franchise I thing that Terra has her own unique charm and I wanted to portray her in a way that translates that. Thank you!

I like this a lot, though I'm obligated to point out that I prefer the green hair from the actual in-game sprites. Still, it was worth a fav, so I did. Always happy to see fan art from the best in the series!

Gabriela-Birchal In reply to MagicWazard [2013-07-03 14:34:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! Althoug I do prefer her with the green hair the blonde looked much better with this color composition, so that's mainly why she's blonde here.

So rad. Love the FFVI tribute. The artwork from that game was great, but it's nice to see someone pull back from that extremely stylistic look to something more natural.
