Redesign for Terra, from Final Fantasy VI.
The final design. Here Terra is represented both when controlled by the Empire/Kefka and when she joins the Returners
Initial concepts that kickstarted this project. The main goal was to honor Yoshitaka Amano's original design while bringing the character into the new generation of games that square has been putting out. specially referencing the ff7 remake.
Study for Terra's face. again, I am trying to marry Amano's vision with the current face style the ff7:remake game uses
design notes.
something interesting that happened working on this was that I realised that I needed to understand where each element of terra's design comes from and what it communicates before taking the design further. I didn't want to create a hollow copy of Amano's work and that's how this analysis was born

With newfound knowledge from the analysis, I went back to the drawing board and managed to finalize her overall design and move on to pattern ideas for the dress.
