it’s Wednesday already where I live so WIP Wednesday!!

Trying to solidify the concepts for characters tarot (see older post), these three are kinda done and waiting to be colored

You can see some conceptual insights under the cut if you’re interested :3

ok so I like to yap from time to time! And this time I want to share small bits of my thoughts on the process.

Cassia right there is quite symmetrical, like religious figures on paintings. I want her to look like one :p also I seek to implement some stylistic elements of bysantinian icons, such as the way of drawing eyes and maybe fabrics? also (x2) I LOVE Botticelli and try to learn from his painting techniques! Also (x3) I want to paint Cassia in most radiant colours because of her vision theme.

On to Heinrix and more orthodox imagery. I highly recommend you (anyone who reads it) watch “Ivan the Terrible” by Sergei Eisenstein, its absolute cinema. What I want to say is, the characters here are rarely alone. The interiors of the palace are filled with faces of saints, and it resonates with WH40K visuals for me: it is rare not to see the Emperor’s image somewhere around. So for Heinrix’s card I chose to add such ever-present image, so he would feel additional guilt for his actions, duh

And Kibellah! As a religious follower, she is also symmetrical, mind you, and I wanted to utilise next concepts: her being chained by the beliefs and her being a part of the ship. So the purity seals around her (believe me they will stand out more….) shall be like a spiderweb, and the background… it is like a mix of muscle tissue and capillaries that surround Kibby and maybe pull her back? Either way she must feel like a logical continuation of it. Also want to give her a bit of tradgoth makeup :p

To anyone who read it - thank you for your attention. Have a good day, hooman

sorry im just ff7s number one hater despite loving these games so much bc i am tired of how they took og Aerith and her murder and spun it into some holy cetra jesus bullshit.

i've never seen such terrible media interpretations than i have in ffvii fandom. square enix are bad at writing women. they have a habit of using them to fulfill a greater purpose by killing them off or by making the storyline centered on it. ffx was about a 17 year old preparing to go sacrifice herself because her religion said so. ffxiii had fang and vanille sacrifice themselves. xiii-2 had yeul and serah die for plot. ffxiv has.. too many to fucking count now. xv had lunafreya unceremoniously die for plot. ffvii had aerith die, even though she didn't want to fucking die.

but square enix forget their own writing a lot. they forget they made her hopeful and wanting to return to the group to continue their adventures. that she went off with that decision to summon holy with the INTENT TO RETURN. she didn't go to die. she didn't leave to sacrifice herself or martyr herself. she went because she was like "hey i wanna give this a shot but i need to be quick!" because she thought she could get ahead of the game and come back to ride a fucking AIRSHIP! "i'll come back when it's all over" means she was planning to return. she was planning to come home.

aerith didn't know sephiroth was there. aerith had no intentions of not coming back to elmyra in the end. but the fandom and square enix have both decided to rewrite history apparently and make her some sacrificial lamb who had to die. she doesn't have to. she never had to. she never WANTED TO! can we please stop interpreting her as someone who knows she's gonna die and wants to basically commit suicide. aerith wanted to laugh and love and see tomorrow. she wanted to be with her friends again.

she's a 22 year old with her whole life ahead of her and she WANTED. TO LIVE. THAT LIFE.

stop turning ff women into needed sacrifices. they're not. give some fucking respect to aerith gainsborough for the love of god.
