FF: Aerith - Say your Prayers

Description

...and she prayed, as she fell down on her knees...
'Holy
mother of all materia
creator of life
to you I pray for our sorrows to end
for we seem to be condemned
to live in nothing but fear and pain
as death will follow.
Please, I beg you,
forgive us for all that we have done
allow us one last chance
and show us your true power in all it's glory.
Bring us hope
Bring us peace
Bring us life


...as her prayer's last words flew from her lips
and a dark shadow covered her aura
she was frightened, yet faithful
but before her death she spoke out her one true wish...

Some people say they don't like this drawing very much, others say they don't like Aeris very much. But to be honest, I really love this drawing! The reference picture was really small and blurry, so I had a very hard time drawing the details yet I was able to draw it all. *pets self one her back*

So I ask you to stop saying you don't like Aeris because I don't care! :| I got sick of all the bashing (mostly by sending private notes) and replying friendly all the time. Go waste your time somewhere else.


Stuff I used:
  • 2H, HB, B, 2B & 3B mechanical pencils

  • tortillions & tissues for blending... lots and lots of blending

  • kneaded eraser for highlights

  • Photoshop, to create the blurry effect

  • Time spent: approx 17 hours

    Actually, I LOVE Aeris, always have, always will, she is a shining example of what a

    'Strong' woman REALLY looks like, as she is KIND, WARM, LOVING, TENDER, COMPASSIOONATE, and

    maintains a resolute upbeat positive outlook on life, DESPITE all the crappy things her life has thrown at her, thanx to Shinra, who just couldn't leave her the frag alone just because she was different and special.

    I saw a clip of the 'Remake', which made me GAG with REVULSION about Hojo, if he was an inhuman asshole in the ORIGINAL game, (calling Aeris and her Mother Ifalna 'specimens' and NOT 'human beings' and being PROUD of his lack of humanity), he is one NOW, BIG TIME, the creep is as big a lunatic as 'Zozal' from Gate, who had the balls to poison his father, claim the throne for his own, and ENSLAVE his sister, his SISTER for opposing his dictatorship, if that creep didn't deserve some SERIOUS pain and suffering for kidnapping and enslaving the Japanese Civilians, who COULDN'T fight back, he did NOW, I say lock this scumbag in a locked room together ALONE with Rory and NOT unlock it until one is left standing, kind of like

    'Thunderdome' (Mad Max, Two men enter, one man leaves.) All Zozal would have to do to be let out of this room is kill Rory (not likely, since she is essentially 'death itself')


    Bottom line:


    I LOVE 'Kindness' (Which is Aeris in a nutshell)


    I HATE 'Cruelty' (Which is Hojo in a nutshell)


    Anyone an Aeris lover, I have a few of her on my page, although many are 'fetish' based, but I still love this character as a 'good girl', and would like to do a few of her not so fetish - ey.


    Any ideas for what to dress her in, or poses, I am okay with it, 'fetish', 'nudes', 'younger', 'costumes', 'marriage', 'romance with Cloud' (how the 1st game SHOULD have ended, ask me, she was too kind to die)

    Just message me by 'Comments' or by 'Chats', you have my 'Username', and ideas are welcome.
