Description
Bloody thing took me about twelve hours CGing. The entire background was drawn completely with Photoshop 7. 20 layers ... God!Okay, basically I love Tseng so I drew him after Sephy stabs him. Hee!
Much love and thanks to all those who have stayed with me while I have littered my DA page with updates on this piece.
And wow, I really sound stupid right now. Must sleep.
[Edit]
My blood is all meridian; were it not,
I had not left my clime, nor should I be,
In spite of tortures, ne'er to be forgot,
A slave again of love, - at least of thee.
'Tis vain to struggle - let me perish young –
Live as I have lived, and love as I have loved;
To dust if I return, from dust I sprung,
And then, at least, my heart can ne'er be moved.
-- Stanzas to the Po by Byron
Inspired by the fanfic Last Morning by
The imagery in the piece was taken from the fic, which I highly reccommend.
Brushes for the doves were taken from Crystal Kiss

I was informed earlier that if you exit the temple after getting the keystone and then go back in, Tseng's dead. ;_;
He won't respond and has stopped twitching and such. If it's true that ruins plotholes.

:____; Maybe he's taking a nap...........

Oh, of course. The pretty one's are the best at such torturement-ness-thing........

Well ... that's easier for Tseng than Rufus. Since Rufus kind of was blown up along with the upper floors of the ShinRa building.
We figure Tseng survives and has a breakdown or something because we're evil and need help and adore torturing pretty men.

Well ... see since Rufus ultimately dies, Tseng would rather be dead than end up surviving the end of the world only to find that he lived while his lover did not.
-nod- Though, we're evil and plotting to write Tseng living and Rufus not.

That entire scene made me go 'D:' when I saw it. Because I thought Tseng was cool, well.... in a not-so-bad-guy kinda way.

I didn't think it possible, but the finished product is even more stunning than earlier versions. That background is amazing, and the blood looks awesome.

Thank you. I'm really happy with the background, since I was worried it was going going to look craptastic. The blood also turned out better than I had anticipated. Of course, I dunno how Tseng could possibly live after that much bloodloss. ;_;

Damn, he's pretty when he's dead.
*insert obligatory necrophilia joke here*

Technically not dead ... yet. But he is pretty. And we all know about your take on necrophilia, Hojo.

Vincent wasn't dead yet either, technically speaking...

Quite true.
Tsk. You and your fetish for half-dead Turks.

I hear that's actually a fairly common, ah, preference these days.

Quite true. -pets bloodied Tseng- But they're so pretty when they're dying, ne.

o.o Oooooh - my. The background turned out amazing, I shall sit and stare at it and worship your patience for a while. 
And once again - poor Tseng. ;o; BAD SEPHY, NO BISCUIT.

I realized I cannot draw straight lines on paper to save my life, so I resorted to seeing what I could do with PS. I never anticipated drawing the entire background on there.
I did just realize that I didn't add the vines behind the ivy. Ah well ... I'll do that later.
