Artist's Comments

...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


    Work in progress can be found here!:
    WIP 1
    WIP 2
    WIP 3
    WIP 4

    Coming next:

    - FF or KH group picture (haven't really decided yet!)
