I dont know if anyone was goin to make an FF7 version of Aeris so I decided to attempt to make one. Theres a topic i skimmed where i got the first two views from so I want to thank the person who made them. You may do whatever you want to the sprite. Also critisism and comments welcomed.
WOOT! We are one step closer to the entire FF7 compendium.
She looks wonderful, my friend.
Found some glitchy stuff with her ill fix that immediatly. Took me awhile to test ingame because ive been grounded so i had to wait till my parents left. Which reminds me...today is the 7th month anniversity since ive been grounded! *sigh*
This one should look better but i cant test it ingame since my parents are back. If any can test this out for me and tell me if theres anything wrong id really appriciate that. ive also have been working on AC Tifa and i have Vincent already planned out so more FF7 will be here soon!
Can't you convert it into an SPR and view the frames in shishi?
I did but you can notice a lot more mistakes ingame since shishi shows only a black background thats wat happened with the first Aeris
OK. I'll give it a shot, but before I do, I have to comment on the palette.
I don't know if it's that the pink is to saturated or what, but right now she's kinda hurting my eyes. That brown and that pink really, really clash. try finding some screen shots of her as a reference. Other than that I think she's coming along great.
Now shes less bright and i also found out that her jacket is a deep red. About her shoes, should they stay red or change to her darker colors of her hair? and thanks Vanya!
No problem, mon!
Shoes should be brown, but I like them red.
I like it, but the pink gradient seems too flat. The lightest pink needs to be a little lighter, and the darkest a little darker. The middle colors should be lighter and the other darker, but not as much of a change as the other two.
The red gradient would probably look better if it was just a smidge brighter.
I think once you tweak the palette, she'll be perfect. Good job, mon!
I made 2 versions of the sprite; one with red boots and the other with brown. I made the changes like you said. The Aeris with brown shoes has darker hair so her shoes didnt look like oddly shaded brown bricks on her feet. Bleh I forgot I have to go to the beach tomorrow so I had to post this now (its like 4:00 am where Im at to whoever isnt in my timezone) so you could all hav this now and comment on it. I hate the beach
She is looking quite good. I have similar concerns about the colors like Vanya, but it is getting better. I think the "pink" needs to be slightly pinker and the red slightly brighter. But it might be fine, and I'm only suggesting minor adjustments.
I'm not sure which one I like better. They're both good. The brown shoes are more accurate, but the red is good, too. And I'll agree with what Cheetah said too.
Ok I fixed them. Are the colors better now?
contrast looks a bit better.
the rest is up to personal taste in color really, if you want it to be more fft style, ff7 style or your own flavor.
Looks good. Do you have enough colors to make the bracelets gold? Or maybe remove them.
Theres not enough colors sadly...I might try to make one without a bracer but Im not good with removing things. Ill give it a shot.
Look pretty damn good. just tweaking from here out. Great job, Miroshi!
Thanks Vanya! And thanks to Cheetah and Nevarie, too. You all helped me out a lot! Oh, and these next updates are a teeny bit different. I was able to squeeze out one color so I could make gold braces but one wasnt enough so I gave her Green eyes. And the portrait has a different color shirt. It's red, now, so it matches the sprite.
Awesome job man. You should submit it to the site so everyone will remeber your work for as long as FFH exists.
the sprite is great. i had thought about working on it but fixing the shading in the dress in the front seemed too time consuming for me.
Crap, I forgot to add it yesterday... :/
But it feels a bit weird to upload 2 version on the site while the only difference are BOOTS. -_-'
I would recommend just having the different colored boots as a seperate palette on the same spr...
If you only want to put on one i suggest the one with brown boots. i cant add an extra pallette because thatll affect the hair or jacket(depends on which one you add the pallette to).
i've come to the realization.. after working with the female archer sprite, that a perfect template for ff7 aeris is not the dancer sprite but in fact the archer. see the work done to create that aeris is great, thanks for that. but the shading in the front of the dress is off. i might take a crack at it after i finish my miluda cross knight, sprite.
great job! wow ive ben gone forever but im gonna get back and make a patch with her in it
Hey Trickstar! Glad you are back! I missed seeing your awesome avatar!
lol psshaw this old thing
well im gonna try doing sprites but ive been looking around and i found some cool stuff like a possible yuffie sprite , Cloud with a shinra looking mask .
well im hopefully going to start my own patch!
Zozma, you said that archer was better for Aeris than a dancer and WOW does it look better, well in my eyes. What do you all think?
did you do this? great job THAT is the aeris we know
Yes i did ^-^! I guess ill finish it.
please do, if it looks that good all around people will definately be wanting that.
remember my tip on the arms, the less you have to edit them, the better because they are VERY time consuming. (unless you have that much patience XD
Great job i cant wait to see the completion
Ok heres the 5 views. another comparison. Any suggestions?
are you doing one or both of them?
the jacket looks better on the bottom one,
the dress on the top one has a nice shape,
on the bottom one the forward diagonal cut off one line pixels of the pink dress by the shoe also bring the head to the left by one pixel or so.
No only one. Line 1 and 3 is the original (dancer) and 2 and 4 are the new ones (archer)
well its looking good, the dress comes out like 1 pixel too far on the backstide u know how it goes strait down her legs?, but besides that its good, as long as you remember where the legs are under the dress (thats where it should get lighter when shes walking.
doin fine
Ok all walk animations are done next is attack then the arms. I want Aeris to be type 1 so for the arms i have to use theif arms and hands from a different sprite.
archer might be better, the female archer is type 1
Oh ok then ill use archer (thought archer was type 2)
nope, my deis sprite is based off the archer and its type 1. its funny because it seems like alot of the good sprites are easier to make with type 1...
Ok I havent had any luck of turning arms into her arms but im actually doin better with converting the dancers type 2 arms into type 1. I have to finish 26 more attack animation arms and edit the bangles on them and make them smaller then im done
i have an idea, my misty sprite! they are modified female theif arms... now she has gloves but the sleeves are good.
The gloves are whats killing me. The never look right either theyre too big or just plain old funky looking
isn't it funny how t his game barely has any normal arms... you could try using teta/ alma's arms tho i don't know how good that will look
But im trying to keep aeris as a type 1.
the arms are gonna be killer... maybe it is for the best to stick with the dancer arms converted to type 1
Yeah i guess i should. So far her attack animations with the arms looks good.
Hey zozma could i use beatrix's arms? they seem perfect! the gloves look tight on her hands so they could be taken off easily and i could add sleeves.
you don't need to ask my permission
do as you wish
Thanks Zozma! ^-^
Ok an update on aeris! Ok i got Beatrix's arms on aeris but now they seem a little big on her so theyre gonna need a little shrinking. Then i need to add sleeves and a few attack animations then im done. Sorry im movin kinda slow ive been pretty busy. But im hopin that shell be done soon.
no rush on sprites, some of the ones i've made ive taken months to produce (friggin arms )
Ok I will be workin on the Archer Aeris very shortly but I saw the original dancer version and i almost puked lol. It looked horrible so i had to re-do it and here it is!! I gotta make the gold bracelets more noticeable though.
The bracelets on the side view are too dark. Otherwise it's pretty damn good. =)
i like it but yes the bracelets are too dark or light depending on the view
It looks very good, though I'm wondering why even have bracelets...
wizard bracelets for all her magicks.
They are part of the character's original design! =)
yup if ya want aeris then ya gotta do it right and doin right has bracelets
Does that mean Sephiroth with the original art will have his rainbow pauldron?
@LD: ???
Oh sorry I forgot to change the side bracelets color. They are meant to be gold like the other views.
Quote from: "darthpaul"@LD: ???
ditto! =O
Again ??? @LD
IF I recall correctly, Sephiroth in Amano's original art had a rainbow pauldron on his left shoulder (or belt, or something...) all I remember is that this is being reflected in Dissidia and some discussion regarding it arose at eyesonff.
got a picture? haven't been able to find one in color.
neither have i it would be nice to see in color
"Uh sephiroth was in the video! i know sephiroth when i see him thank u very much. he had a stupid belt on and some colours on his shoulder pad thing."
As far as I could tell his pauldron was relatively colorful in it.
(http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/a/a4/AmanoSeph.jpg)
Is how Amano originally wanted him to look and that seems to be the case with him in Dissidia.
Actually, Amano wasn't the character designer in ff7, he just did illustrations based on the designs he was given. Personally I always liked his illustrations better than the actual character designs used in any of the games. Judging from the video the pauldron isn't that bad. The belt I could do without.
he does some good illustrations
I never really was a fan of Amano.
me neither :/
Acquired taste I guess. =)
Been a fan since the first time I saw VampHunterD.
well u know i sort of like it,
but it looks better after being doctored a bit (like the ff6 character portraits)
hmmmm there is no FFT aeris on the main page...
Ok ive been workin on Aeris again. Im gettin pretty far. I made the bracelets smaller and i turned them silver like in Advent children. I also added a different belt based off the shrine knights'. Does it look better?
no no, she doesnt, will the original aeris please stand up... thank you!
Lol sorry i just looked her up and i felt stupid after i said that thats why its deleted. Well heres her without her belt. Tell me wat you think
in my own opinion the belt made the sprite too busy. theres really no need for it here. i have no idea why they decided to add one later.
so thats much better, i think anyway.
I like it, but aren't the bracers yellow in the FF7 model? They look coppery in that pic, though.

again look at the picture i posted, they are not copper they are a normal metal color.....
Edit: well anyway.... looking at cutscene pictures from the original game it is bronze/goldish i guess its really up to you... which ever one allows a smoother look id go with that.
silver looks a lot better because gold colors blended with the skin too much making it less noticeable. I only have a few animations left and then fixing up the arms for the attack animations then shes done.
Is there room for the silvery edging at the ends of her jacket sleeves?
AERIS HAD BEEN REVIVED AND YOU CAN THANK SMASH FOR IT!!! if he never did that front diagonal view of his aeris i would have never gotten interest in it for awhile....Now a history of FF7 Aeris in FFT Format...
Very nice! ^_^
Looks good, and it is quite possibly readily recognized. Already knowing who it is makes the perception biased, but I think someone could tell without needing more than a glance. (I say that because I believe something was said to be off about the hair in Smash's incarnation.)
i think it would be best if you could talk smash into animating all of the walking frames and the arms for walking. that way it would be possible to be as consistant as possible with the look... but hey hes a busy d00d...
Smash has actually stated that he is committed to finishing the Aeris Sprite.
awesome, then i could use the ff7 version alongside barret
