Pity about the whole 'Aeris thing', though.

The angled shot makes her seem more menacing. I like the way the bottom of her dress looks blown up too.

Aeris looks so awesome. Perspective, proportions, expression is great. O_O I don't know how you do it!

(Her hair kicks ass too. )

Aw thanks

I have to rescan it again, hopefully tonight, else I'll have to bring it to you on Tuesday (If I can find you!).

I like your use of foreshortening. You drew the details of her clothes and hair really well.

Are her legs slightly bent?

ancientzoidian In reply to moonblossom [2005-02-12 02:54:11 +0000 UTC]

She's leaning back a little -- I suppose I should have added some shading on her lower leg to aid with perspective there.
I did have trouble with her legs, though, so I'll probably shift the leg as Yun suggested

moonblossom In reply to ancientzoidian [2005-02-12 07:55:06 +0000 UTC]

I think you did really well considering the perspective you were drawing in.

I kinda got the impression that you were trying to draw the figure entirely on the plane bounded by the paper's edges. Just my impression, though.

I love this piece. There is a deep meaning to it. Did you have any philosophical representations in mind? The structure, the technique, they are all 100% here. Keep up the good work. By the way, take a look at my archives if you have a chance. Though they are nothing compared to yours.

ancientzoidian In reply to LordCavendish [2005-02-12 02:46:41 +0000 UTC]

I guess I based it around revenge. It's weird because revenge and Aerith really don't mix well XD
Most of the art I've seen of Aerith/Aeris protrays her as the holy, untainted type. I wanted to elaborate that she is in fact one of the bravest characters in the game ..

Thank you.
I had a look at your devGallery - I don't know what you mean! Your art is amazing: the work with traditional media -- especially the colouring -- I just don't think I'd ever have the patience!

tungwene [2005-02-11 19:42:49 +0000 UTC]

Niiiiiice!!!!

Yes, the perspective is very nicely done. The shadows cast on her face give her a strong determined look.

Though, I think if you draw her shoes a little bigger/rounder and shift them diagonally to the left just a teeny bit the perspective will be absolutely perfect. Her body curves slightly to the right towards the bottom. (it's very slight and hardly noticeable)

tungwene In reply to tungwene [2005-02-11 22:01:53 +0000 UTC]

Actually on second thought, if you move just the right foot slightly left so that her feet are spread further apart it will give her a sturdier, more grounded stance in addition to making the perspective more realistic.

Hey, thanks for noticing that -

I was drawing the sketch with the A4 page full aligned, so I didn't see it myself. *tilts head* o__O;;;

If I edited the actual sketch, her foot will be cut off, so that god for custom canvas sizing on CG programs!

Don't think it'll be done/started in a while, though.
