Description
You Came For Me (2010)Aerith: "So, why did you come?"
Cloud: "I think ... I want to be forgiven, more than anything... But... I let you die..."
Aerith: "Dilly dally, shilly shally. Isn't it time you did the forgiving?"
Aerith: "I never blamed you, not once. You came for me, that's all that matters."
Excerpt from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
This is a fan art of Aerith Gainsborough praying at an altar at Forgotten City, right at the moment when she realized Cloud's arrival, while Sephiroth coming next to say hello from above with his sharp and pointy friend.
Her face is based on Natalie Portman inspired by a comment I've read on DA, and her details are mostly based on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children while some features such her hair, bracelets, and her hand gesture are leaning toward the original game version. Since she dropped a Materia after she passed I decided to include the orb in her hand. The two feathers represents Aerith and Zack, as the black one represents death and Zack, while the white one represents heaven and Aerith respectively. I watched Advent Children again while painting this and honestly find myself like it better than the initial watching (I thought the movie was pretty lame), and did find it a formal farewell to Aerith and Zack for Cloud to finally let go. Friendly comments and constructive feedbacks are welcome. Cheers!

The extended version of the movie is far better than the theater release. SO MUCH BETTER.

The saddest moment in gaming history! From that day to today its 15 years. I cant play FF7 anymore... Last time i played it, i spend several hours just to get Aerith final Limit Break just to see it for one time. Than i quit playing it. Not because its bad, because i reached every single, little goal that can be reached. I remember if it was yesterday, counting the 9999 damage point on emerald weapon. He was hard, but i hit him harder.
Great picture by the way ^^

This is incredible. This is by far the best piece of FF7 fan art I've ever seen. And since there's a lot of FF7 fan art out there, you know I mean that in the most sincere way.
Beautiful work.

I kinda can see Ms Portman playing her.
Although I have a hard time seeing the Materia in her hand.

Aerith was/has been/ and will forever be my favorite! T.T
idk why I just loved her dearly xD
This is amazing, you did an outstanding job, you paid so much attention to detail as one can tell from your "artist comments" section. <3
Well done!

Very beautiful. This puts a more elegant tone to an otherwise dark event. I can see a more calm in her face than in the game when she knew her fate was about to be sealed. Playing the game, I cried. But now that you were able to put a more realistic subtlness to her expression, I can see her death and just picture this image instead of the one portrayed in the game.

i already knew Aeris dies before i got to this point... it's a shame i never got to feel that feeling of her departure that everyone else felt... damn spoilers... same goes for Claus from MOTHER 3.

i've never played the game myself but i have tried to keep up with the story (some bits i still dont know) and i know a bit from my friend who has played it. I've also watched the movie and the OVA - The Last Stand (i believe it was called) and there is just a passion that comes with FFVII that the others just dont have ^^ I do hope to find a way to play it sometime though, I would love to experience the love of the story for myself ^^
