I Started Sketching This Illustration After Watching The FirstEver Crisistrailer, As This Dress Is One

I started sketching this illustration after watching the first Ever Crisis trailer, as this dress is one of my all-time favorite outfits from Aerith! 👗✨

"The Promised Land… I think I can meet her… there" is a Cloud line from OG FF7's ending, which I thought was a good way of conveying that Aerith was waiting for him in the Promised Land while wearing this dress. 💖

This is a redraw of an official Cloud and Aerith illustration by Yoshitaka Amano! 🌸 His art is amazing and I've been wanting to draw this work of his titled "穹 / Sora" (Sky) in my style for a long, long time! 💖

This is a little thing I made as a memorial to Toriyama-sensei following his recent passing. 🕯️🙏

I hope he continues to create great stories in the afterlife, because I'd love to enjoy them the day I get to travel there too. 📚 Thank you for all the years of joy you brought us through all your wonderful worlds and characters, Toriyama-sensei, we will never forget and will never stop honoring and loving your art! Cha-La Head-Cha-La! ✊✨

P.S. The verses of "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" that I included in the artwork are in Spanish because that's how I listened to DBZ growing up, so writing them in English wouldn't mean as much to me. 💖 The pencil also says "Legend" in Spanish because I think he has certainly earned the title! ✍🔥

(I honestly owe SO MUCH to Toriyama-sensei... my art wouldn't be the same without him!).

🐬"I made it this far, believing in the memories we shared."

Tifa, a martial artist as skilled as she's gorgeous! 🥊🌠 A new entry for my Final Fantasy VII Remake Sketch Series! 🖌️✨

I'm among the artists taking part in the Coloring Books for Charity Project hosted by the DeviantArt group Charity-Guild! 📚✏️

My OC Furukawa Kohana is a half-tengu (yokai with a crow-like appearance 👺) maiko and her name means "Little Flower" so I included many flowers and crows as homage to her supernatural self. 🗻🌸 She often defends herself with a metal fan in my Hakuouki fic "A Friend Like You", so I also put some in the Art Nouveau style frame that I drew around her. 👍

I'm happy to participate not only because I love coming up with coloring pages, but because this project will benefit the Sick Kids Hospital, as ReallyColor will professionally print the coloring books so that they can be distributed to the children who are patients at the hospital! 🤗💖

Time for an update! 👋 I'm a bit tired of drawing anime (the level of detail in Kohana's coloring sheet destroyed me, lol! 😂💖), so I decided to continue the RuPaul portrait I started in February, and also to try out the new pastel brushes I set up in SAI by painting a scene from Schindler's List (one of my favorite movies 🎬✨). I'm hoping this will act as a good workout so I can better paint my entry for BeckyKidus' (DeviantArt user) Animal Drawing Contest! 😉
