Description
Right after I have completed Destiny Night artwork, I was planning to do a realism artwork on original character design not by established artist like Tetsuya Nomura. Coincidentally, my friend did created a character named Aislya. Her character was partly influence by Cloud from FF7 design hence the clothing and certain parts of her hair. You can see her original sketch design from [link] and several others if you browse through her gallery.At first it was quite a challenging task because she instilled the tomboyish characteristic into Aislya. However, in my opinion, I would prefer if this character to show some feminine character rather than totally boyish look as how Tetsuya Nomura designed for Lightning from FF13 and Aya Brea from Parasite Eve.
As usual for my art style, I used Lyndall Jarvis as my model reference. Yeah, the one who face captured as Laughing Octopus from Beauty & Beast Corp in Metal Gear Solid 4. Certain face feature I have modified some from the original picture [link] . From the reference, obviously I have flipped the picture horizontally. Then next, I have redo her nose into fine and sharper. Then I put less eyeshadow (is it called as that? LOL) at below her eyes and then some glossy lipstick. And her eyes were intense teal color.
Her ear accessory was based on Spiro Ear Climber [link]
She kind of like sea of stars as background and some effects of FF7 lifestreams, so I did it for her. The sea of stars tutorial was referred from [link]
Doing all these, from scratch to completion, took me about 1 month and half and additional few weeks for me to get used on my new laptop. LOL
Oh yeah, this artwork is also a special birthday gift for which I suppose to give her on February... But you know, I kind of like to take my own sweet time in order to do a secure quality artwork. Whatever is it, FINALLY it's aledy done. Here you go TasukiNoAijin and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
Material Used:
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Wacom Graphire 4
Reference:
As listed above.
Original Character Design: with permission

Has someone thought of joining SQEX's US character localisation division? You know, the one where they totally edit character to suit US audiences, especially the image [only SQEX does that, everyone else just edits backgroud plot].
I mean, some characters in SQEX are totally unsuited to US audiences. And then some need to be pulled out and replaced (*ahem* SERAH *ahem*). That's where people like you could come in...

LOL, I'm glad that you seen us with the potential of being that. But from the point of SQEX view, it's sad to say that game company is no doubt belonged to Japanese and absolutely they would prefer to model the characters more primarily that fit Asian look and figure. And SQEX US won't be spending another million dollars just to recreate the characters? Might as well, they create a whole new brand game that suits US audience like Final Fantasy Mystic Quest [link]
But if I'm not mistaken SQEX or Squeresoft US division (used to be in Honolulu, Hawaii) is already disbanded due to box-office failure of Final Fantasy: Spirit Within which subsequently leads the merging of Square-Enix. So, since it's closure, there won't be any game specifically developed by US rather than everything will be released in Japan before going to US. I'm not quite sure of the overall details... this is what I've heard.
Nevertheless, this also apply the same to US game. They usually model their characters after US people and that for sure, some Asian people don't really like it. In other words, we can't really please everyone else LOL
Anyway, glad that you share some of your opinion with me. By the way, you're new in DA? Welcome onboard!

Well, partially, yes, SQEX's HI office was shuttered due to the masive losses from the movie... but it wasn't even remotely like FF anyways.
STILL. Parasite Eve was developed in LA, CA by then Squaresoft. I used to pass by it to church, so yeah.
I think it was dissolved in the merger. That's kinda sad.
BUT KL Central government seems to be promoting games in Cyberjaya. Have you checked it out?

Yup quite sad though. But I can see the fault so clear, why on earth that they made FF:Spirit Within looks like Sci-Fi action movie? They should stick to the same element, I don't mind being old setting like the first FF. And worst, the director is the creator of FF. Sigh.
Ah, you seems to know well about Malaysia especially you mentioned of Cyberjaya. But to be clear honest, the game development here is very primitive compare to top countries like Japan or US. Not because they don't develop games for PS3 or Xbox but they narrowed down the genre of the PC based games. Most of them love to develop MMORPG and formula they used is all the same, very typical indeed. Which is why I don't really bother to check out Malaysian made games. Too disappointing.

"And worst, the director is the creator of FF."
Well, then he decamped to found Mistwalker. And now he creates 3 flops. If "The Last Story" flops too, he's as screwed as Anwar's aide.

Hahaha!!! You knew that news too! Guess that it spreads like wildfire the whole wide world. Well, it's good that you've been kept informed on the news here. Too many of funny news happened around here
I'm from KL. You said across bridge... Singapore, I guessed? I've been there as my first trip to oversea... it's a very nice and clean country. Love the environment compare to here.

Beautiful work, U do know that Lighting is a female Cloud right??.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Oh my... That's so beautiful pose I've ever seen! You did an excellent job. You are just like Tetsuya Nomura! You are amazing! I can't imagine how you do that! You got a gift from God. You should join the college to get degree and join with Tetsuya Nomura as a team. I'm serious!
Thank you so much for making so beautiful gift.

OH thank you! How I really wished that I can join with Tetsuya but unfortunately, if I weren't have any financial problem, I would go for art course study and perhaps I can join him?
Anyway, you're so much of welcome as it was indeed your gift as promised.
