FF7 WIP Update
After the sketch, I really went back and forth a lot (too much) on what kind of process I wanted to take to finish this one. I made some colored backgrounds with the intent to just paint over the sketch with color and light, I thought about making refined line work before laying down flats and building with light…ultimately I turned off the colored background and started rendering the character in black and white without much of a light source, and then once I start coloring I’ll add some more dramatic lighting.
So far I’ve got Red XIII, Cid, and Tifa decently far along. Barret has a long ways to go, Aerith needs some more time, and nobody on the right is really even touched. I need to redraw Cloud entirely and I’ve been avoiding it (tried once to fiddle existing stuff around into a new pose, but it’s waaaay too stiff).
