Nice job, I can say it's one of the few arts where her expression looks genuine, the most of them, also cosplays, have this "fake sexy wannabe" thing on the face, that as fake as a wedding cake (c). There's a ton of Aerith arts, but hard to find anything decent, and I mean not only obviously "sexed up" works. Sure, it's a pretty standard anime expression, but it fits more than fine here.
I'm in the minority, but wasn't impressed by that death scene at all even the first time. It felt cheap, like an attempt to squeeze a tear from me. Not to say, there was a lot of missed potential in Aerith - Sephiroth relations. I was absolutely expecting something in this vein in the game, not necessary a romance, but it never come. Even their hairstyles with hanging bands (don't know how it's called in proper) resebmle each other, which also suggests that there's something in common between them. I mean, Aerith is the only character from the cast who could really get Sephiroth, this sense of "being the only human on the whole Earth" - she's also not fully human and one of the kind.
