Favorite FFVII Fanart

Spoiler: Aerith

For the life of me, I cannot seem to source this picture. It's all over Pinterest though. I can't read the artist's signature.

Anyway - I really like this Aerith.

I've found this one some time ago. It's super cute and full of details.

And this one of Aerith that looks better than the CGI. I'm in love with that lighting on the top of her hair o.o

My googlefu has successed for once!

This person has drawn a lot of mega nice FFVII stuff.

 

[Rydeen]

Wait, really? I used Google image finder and it just brought up a bunch of reposts.

Artgerm does frequent final fantasy art and posts a lot to his Facebook and Instagram pages often showcasing work he is teaching to his art students.

I'm not the kind of person to display my interests with posters or paintings but man @Pandemonium's rendition of Cloud staring down Shinra HQ is something I would definitely appreciate having on display in my home.

Thanks! I used to be hesitant about sharing my art. I never felt like I was doing my best (I still feel that way) At this point, I don't give a f#ck anymore though haha. I'm actually working on a website to share all of my paintings and maybe sell. Once I get done with all of the ff7 main characters, I'm going to sell them as prints on canvas. $45 11x14

Sounds like a good idea, but are you sure you can legally do that? Sell the ff7 prints, I mean. Since SE owns FF7 and all, I wasn't sure how that would work and I don't want to you catching any flak from them about it. Companies can be wonky about that stuff sometimes, you know.

Copyright can be a problem, but I think Pandemonium will be okay. It seems to be an accepted thing that fan artists make money off their fan art. Look at crimson sun. Funny how the same doesn't go for fanfiction. I gues fanfic isn't as easy to monetise because it's not really an object. You can't put a fanfic on your shelf or hang it on your wall!

I saw this on Twitter and thought it was funny. My bad if this has been posted already.

You can. If it's printed : D
I don't think companies go after fanartists unless they mass produce stuff or claim it's theirs/official stuff.

 

[Jairus]

That makes sense, then, and that's good that they don't. It would just backfire on them if they did. Bad PR and all that. I'm glad SE knows better than that. Too bad fanfic doesn't get that same pass, as LA said.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I'm pretty sure Mo Gallagher is selling his FFVII fanfic. SE is Japanese and they have a different attitude to transformative works. IIRC they will crack down on fan-made games and movies, but they don't care about comics, fan-art and fan-fic.

Actually, from what I've seen on his Patreon page, he doesn't. He just gives instructions on how to order your own printed copy. Something I might look into for Lifestream at some point sooner or later if anyone's interested, especially since I'm nearing the end of Book One now.

 

[Lestat]

Fairly certain Mo contacted SE before publicizing also.

Should also state Mo is/was a member of TLS and a lot of the acknowledgements within the nibelheim incident are to members of the board.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Yes, I'm not saying he didn't. I know of a lot of Japanese fan artists and writers who monetise their comic books and novels and SE doesn't seem to have any objection. It'd be hard to believe they didn't know about it. I'm sure Mo did it all above board, but I'm also sure that not all the people selling FFVII fanworks have cleared it with SE first.

 

[Jairus]

So if I ever did want to go that route, how would I go about it? I never knew it could be done, honestly. I always thought the legal stuff prevented it.

Maybe best speaking to someone who has like Mo.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

All I know is you can't do it through AO3. I don't know about Wattpad. Patreon? Twitter? In Japan a lot of fanfiction writers make little paperbacks of their fiction and sell them at places like Komiket (Comiket? I don't know how it's spelled). They also have websites where you can pay for the fic and then download it. I don't know if there's anything like that for English speakers. You could try getting a stall at a con, I guess. It's hard to see how the organisers could object to selling fanfic when they allow people to sell fanart. But Ergo is right, Mo's probably the best person to ask.

 

[Jairus]

Ok, thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think many cons get out to where I am, so it would be hard to go that route. They only seem to go to certain places, it seems.

I'm not exactly sure how it works with copyright and trademarks. I would think that I'm ok since these are my own works and there are no names or anything on there

I just looked him up. I like his art style

 

[Lestat]

Mo doesn't do the artwork he just wrote the novel, two other artists were the ones who done the designs for his novel. Crimson sun and AJ Heatley were the main artists for the novel itself both with their online stores.
I highly recommend checking out crim's portfolio as her red xiii is amazing!
