Artist's commentary
Aerith
I actually did two versions of this because I couldnt decide on which one I liked the most and they both have their pros and cons
Anyway, this is one of those characters Ive been wanting to draw for ages but I kept putting it off because of commissions... Until someone recently actually commissioned her in anticipation of the remake
Of course I had to go with the red dress look, curls hairstyle and all, since I loved it from the moment I saw the trailer
I did change the dress a bit to make it more open in the middle, I thought it looked really sensual without losing the elegance of the original look
I like this version a bit more because of how well the green/blue on the background contrasts with the red on the dress and how much she stands out, though the other version is also a lot more contextual and accurate to the game, so its really impossible to pick one
Let me know in the comments which one you prefer, Im curious
