[Daily Doodle] FF: The Spirits Within - Jane Proudfoot

[justira]

@ff_press: [FF: The Spirits Within] justira: Jane Proudfoot (G)

Daily Doodle: After my completely ridiculous travails of yesternight (this morning, really), something that's not so.... overwrought. SO.

I adore Spirits Within, unlike, apparently, anyone with any taste in movies, any TRUE FINAL FANTASY FAN, and so on and so forth. After this last round of DOINK! I particularly enjoy Jane — and I've particularly noticed how much awesome Jane is (in the background) during the movie itself. She's smart, decisive, competent, snarky. Watch when Aki is being carted away from retrieving the ovo-pack near the middle of the film: when Aki wakes up and gets shot, it's Jane who kicks the idiot's ass. A LOT. That sort of thing. Now if only she and Aki had actually talked to each other.

Unfortunately, there's not really much of anything distinctive about her character design. She's basically The Girl. The male Deep Eyes all have completely different facial structures; Jane looks largely like any other CG lady, especially without a distinctive hairstyle like Aki has.

So this was kinda hard, especially as my realism resemblance abilities are pretty unreliable. But it was fun and much less tortured than yesterday's doodle.
Time: 10-15 mins

I also liked TSW, so don't be ashamed. XD It was actually my first encounter with Final Fantasy at all; I worked at a movie theater (my first job) when it came out, and used to watch it during my breaks. I was really taken with it, and a guy I was friends with at the time told me it was from a company that normally made video games and offered to have me come over and play them. Didn't take him up on the offer until years later when we'd gotten married...only good thing to come out of that, but that's how I played FFVII and eventually others!

Anyway, LONG STORY DONE, this really looks very much like her, despite her generic design! GOOD JOB.
