Another day, another round of practice with this and that between blender and photoshop ^_^

Made this over the holiday. I had a way better idea in mind of using the lifestream, and some fog and mist and particles, but i had a hard time following the tutorials i found to create all that (F-YOU PEN TOOL!) so in my frustrating flailing, I went with.... this.
Overall concept though was Zack and Aerith in their own after life in the lifestream (if anyone's read the 'unofficial' novel will get what i mean). Something their consciousness created. From the lifestream they watch as Gaia falls into disarray many times over. The Geostigma or maybe it was when Omega was set to run wild. Time has no solid meaning in the lifestream which means, this could take place at any period after their deaths. To interfere or not to interfere. It isn't up to them to decide. The planet itself would make the choice. As it has always done in ages past, to the present.

Zack's Eyes lol. I didn't realize the light reflected and bounced off them that intense until the render was done and the render itself took about 9 painful hours -__- The general pose though for them both, I like it. I wanted them to embrace but had some problems getting the pose to work. IE- making the clothes turn and shift right and all that. I do tend to prefer simplicity over the overly complicated. However for the ultimate result, I dont think it's 'too' bad. A little washed over but maybe 80 percent satisfied. I wanted the light behind them to be more prominent over them anyway. Hence the lens flare, which i'd been messing with in PS lately too.
