Description Okay, first off, I am aware of 2.5 and some of the aeon stuff contained within.  Please don't get into any of the 2.5 Eternal Cost or Will plots in comments, I really don't like to talk about them.

With that in mind, I was interested in Yuna and Tidus becoming the same Aeon.  The Magus Sisters prove that more than one person can be sealed in a single fayth. Originally, I was going for a more consensual version of the idea of Mateus the Corrupt, a summon from FFXII.  That Mateus kidnapped a lesser goddess and strapped to the front of him as a shield.  Essentially, I liked the idea of Tidus, being confronted with the idea that Yuna had to become a summon, decides to go with her as her guardian, even if it's only as a sentient piece of armor.  The idea evolved as I worked on it, but honestly the the last thing I want right now is a depressing FFX AU

I've gone back and forth on putting a mature warning on this and finally decided to leave it off unless people complain.  It seemed to be implying that sexy things were happening in it, which wasn't the intent.  Honestly, most of Yuna isn't showing, there's no reason to believe she's naked.  I also liked the claw marks on the back as a symbol that he was there to help share her emotional and physical pain.  It was meant to look like it was created by her reaction to the presumed pain involved with being turned into a living statue, and meant to look like skin wounds opening up onto a stone interior.  Being a fayth is lonely and difficult, and even though they're no longer able to feel each other or speak, he will be by her side.  Not just until the end.... Forever.

Now go away, I hate feels.

Once again, please no FFX 2.5 Eternal Cost or Will related comments, and please be kind.  I've been deciding whether or not to post this for almost 2 weeks.

Also, there's a second version that I actually finished before I decided I didn't like it.  Anyone interested? .-.

This is super cool!  I wonder what Tidus or Yuna's Aeon would look like though.

This is beautifully done....the textures and coloring fit both characters.  Your finished piece came out wonderfully!  (I think it shows the devotion of those two melded as one in an unexpected turn of events (the AU)  I def plan to view the other piece.

It made me think more of Leviathan.

I like the idea and the way you executed it, but uwah! That's sad! These poor things...

This is such a beautiful idea and a lovely, meaningful drawing. I haven't played FFXII, so I've never heard of the summoning you mentioned, but I can totally see Yuna and Tidus doing this if there was no other option at the end of the game. Or maybe that's my shipper heart talking! (Also, I have absolutely NO idea why Squeenix would create a whole game centred around Yuna finding Tidus only to finish their story with Will. What were they thinking??)

Thank you very much!

...I don't know what they're doing at Square Enix.  I think they have to have some sort of plan, but I also think they're full of crap and need some sort of muzzle system to keep them from pulling stunts like this.

I really enjoy this unique concept. It does feel so bittersweet and almost comforting... Great job! Id love to see the second version! I never played 2.5, heard it was confusing though... Is the armor for the fayth a reference to a certain Aeon or is that just something you have thought up as their Aeon, and if so, do you have a particular look in mind?>

Well, it has nothing to do with 2.5, although there are two summons from FFXII that have two people merged.  I was having trouble with designs where he was actually armor though, in my mind it always ends up looking like Fiore from the Sailor Moon R Movie.  The concept I like now is something of him as a Leviathan summon and Yuna similar to Siren from VIII.  And she stays in the middle of a protective wall of Tidus-serpent coils?  Idk, I'd like to work on it further.

Thank you very much for the kind comment!

I know I've already mentioned it in person, but I really like how this turned out, and the overall concept/feels associated with it.

Thanks so much for leaving a comment, I know that large threatening comments can scare people, but I was afraid I'd leave something out and then jump on someone.... because I'm special. but thank you, and I do appreciate the comment! ^^
