Description Apologies for my lack of art as of late....

I've been so busy with my Alucard cosplay costume that I have sort of neglected the traditional artwork I love doing so much.

But here's a comeback- I'm still around!

I've had this Aeris Advent Children figure I bought ages ago, lying around that's never even been taken out of the box...Well, she did today.
Of course, this is Aeris from Final Fantasy VII, and I will be entering this into the TokyoPop ReCon art contest at the manga/cosplay event I'm going to next week with friends and family, Should be lots of fun!

And I know some other great artists on here who will be entering also, so I'm not expecting to win anything. It's the taking part that counts! And doing this piece of artwork in about 5 hours was a great challenge for me.
I love fan art.

I can't believe I haven't seen this one earlier!
It's really pretty and I love how you drew the flowers and, well, everything. (Her eyes should be greener, though. But that's just me being nitpicky )

She looks beautiful in your style! It's great to see a more oldschool looking Aerith for once.

Thank you Ria!
It didn't take long and I wish I hadn't rushed it so much, really.

Ah well, I have little time to spend numerous hours on things at the moment, so I guess it will have to do!

Thanks! I used a nifty little fineliner gel pen to do those lines. I've done it on art in the past and its very effective. Thanks for commenting!
