Artist's Commentary
Here is a picture of, well, the things Aerith Gainsborough of FF7 might
dream about. The reason I did this picture is because I wanted to shed
some light on a part of the character which nobody has explored before.
I have a feeling that, deep inside that sugary sweet church-flower-girl
is a possessive, jealous hussy. Notice how she also sleeps in a skimpy
nightgown. I always felt that Aerith could benefit from a little
negative publicity, and this is the first step on my quest to see my
vision of her as a realistic person come true. I hope you enjoy it!
The heavy lines and cartoonish nature of this image in no way reflects
upon my usual style, since I only rarely embark on chibi-chara
assignments and usually use a Sakura .005 inking pen for my work
(translation for non-inkers: really-really small tip!) Mostly it's in
Crayola markers for the outlining, with a lot of help from Paint Shop
Pro Demo V6, Adobe Photoshop 5.5 for the coloring.
