Favorite FFVII Fanart

[Torrie]

I feel like I finally have to ask. I've seen plenty of 3D/CG (?) art (??) using FF7R character models, but do artists really re-create them from scratch (which I doubt because the level of similarity and detail is suspiciously high) or is there a way they somehow extract the models from the game's data and play with them as they wish? How does it work anyway?

And off-topic, but I still can't wrap my mind around how damn tall Zack is if it really is his actual height compared to the others.

The character models from FFVIIR can be extracted and viewed, yes. That is probably what most of these highly detailed 3D artworks use as a base before applying some basic effects on whatever piece they are making.

I guess he must be like... 180? Maybe slightly more. Yeah that's kinda tall. Did SE ever release and official number for his height?

 

[Shademp]

Most sources pin Zack at 185 cm tall.

Compare this to Cloud's 173 cm and the height difference between Cloud and Zack look natural.

Oh. Thanks for stating it. What a time to be alive.

Yeah, I'm aware of the official numbers, but being aware and standing next to someone as tall shoulder to shoulder... are not quite the same. I'm a goddamn fairy

In order not to flood the thread any longer... Hell, there he is in a totally badass outfit.

Any of you guys watch this yet?

It's the newgrounds FF7 collab, where a bunch of animators made FF7 shorts. Obviously it's from newgrounds so there's a lot of crude humor and a few parts are literally just porn, but there's some really funny stuff in there too.

I clicked on random parts and stopped pretty quickly. I don't even know how to explain... Some parts are neat, but mostly it's this sort of ugly adult animation, or "hilarious violence", or unexpected rapid movements that usually make me sick. Sorry, not my kind of humour.

Don't blame you, the whole thing feels very 2004, and a lot of things made me cringe a bit. I watched a lot of that shit in my youth so I guess I'm a little nostalgic for it lol, but I hardly blame anyone for not liking it.

Yeah, nostalgia is a bitch

Oh wow that harkens back to the early days. Some of those shorts were freaking excellent. "Limit Break" -- the big action animation sequence that starts around 15 mins in, was stellar.

Spoiler: Screenshot

What an intro

But yeah most were tripe. I thought the last one about snowboarding was pretty funny.

This part has a serene and powerful energy to it that I can't quite describe:

That energy is "Weed dude." at its finest.

I have to agree about the limit break one. For a fan-made clip, that was really well done. But yeah, a lot of the others are very, uh, juvenile.

EDIT: Got a little further in. Yeah, literal porn.

Thaaaaat's newgrounds
It's just a little concerning that a lot of those guys are in their 30's by now.

It's playing on a line from advent children... but they're using the remake designs...? Except for Cloud??

The timelines/universes are merging this is all perfectly expected

Sephiroth's real end goal was always to purge flip-phones from existence. I understand now.

 

[Shademp]

In other words Sephiroth was working for Steve Jobs the whole time! Who knew Sephy would go from shilling for one corporate entity to another.

God it took me forever to find this thread again. *grumble, grumble*

I was looking for more artwork of the Remake's characters as toads, and I stumbled across this (which I promptly snatched up to use as my avatar):

Also, despite my best efforts, it doesn't seem like anyone has made any kind of figurines/plushies/etc of the toads.
So, if you stumble across something, pleeeeeeaaase let me know.
