Description

So, I've mentioned before that this series started from a question my brother asked, "What would Final Fantasy look like as a Disney movie?". The top row of doodles there is exactly what I drew in response (you'll notice I didn't draw the whole cast at the time, because I didn't realize I was going to ).


But seeing them is strangely surreal - my artistic approach has changed so much from when those original concepts were done, that it feels like I've been collaborating with my past self. Like, realizing that Cloud was done after Franchise Remix 13, and Sephiroth was done after Remix 50, and yet there they both are looking like they were completed a day apart and both based on sketches done before Franchise Remix even started.


Not to ramble, but I just want to congratulate my past self for being so ahead of myself - I'd change a lot about the other art I was doing at the time, but golly - even the positioning of these guys carried through to the final product. I don't know, it's like I predicted my art-future or something - it's crazy!


anyway, hope u liek too '3'

Don't say sorry, you did awesome job with this (says person who knows nothing about 3d modeling). And put a lot of throughs into this work.

Just never been fan of Disney style no matter if traditional or digital. And seeing this made me internally conflicted and disturbed.

Haha - not just you. He totally does. Which I guess makes sense when you think Roxas is from a Square Enix and Disney crossover world.

It's really cool to see the concept pieces and their finished products.   They all look absolutely amazing, seriously.  I still can't get over how absolutely adorable Aerith is- that outfit is stunning.   And Cloud looks so precious.   Thanks so much for taking on this series and sharing it with the world!

Hey there - you're very welcome. And thank you so much!

This collection really reflects the principle of just making something 'cause you want to see it yourself, and just hope other people like it. So, it's such a thrill to see you enjoy it. ^U^ (And I must agree - it's adorability galore up in here )

That didn't happen in real life, haha - but it's essentially the idea for this piece, yep.

What made you go from straight down arms to arms behind back?

Good observation. Firstly to give his silhouette more personality and secondly to differentiate him from Cloud. You'll notice that Tifa also original had her arms down, and of the three, Cloud's more quiet demeanor seemed most fitting for relaxed arms.

The look of the characters reminds me of Trollhunters too.
