This is what happens when you get a Disney song stuck in your head for days XD. But seriously, I know there’s a lot of great renders out there with couples for Valentine’s day and much as I’d LOVE to attempt one myself, I’m just not that confident in my posing skill to make something worth while so I decided to go the other route with this one. Be it that you have someone special, are single or just crushing on someone, it’s a day to show some love. With friends, family, yourself or that person your heart goes out to ^^. Yeah I’m a sap who tries to see the brighter side to stuff, so moving on! As far as ideas go, I was basically focusing on Meg’s famous song “I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)” from Disney’s animated Hercules movie. She refuses to admit her feelings out loud because who would openly admit their feelings when they’ve been hurt in the past right? Obviously she can’t contain them for too long since she’s got a flower and is looking in the direction of Mt. Olympus with a smile. Also with it being February 14th and all….. yeah i’m pretty sure you can put the pieces together here. It’s meant to be fun and cutesy and all that. lol. Happy Valentine’s Day! ^_^

Truth be told I started this way back at the beginning of October and was going to use it as an extra Halloween thing (hence the Pirate theme) but, time just got away with me. So rather than trash it or wait another year, and forget it by then, I went on ahead and spent my spare time finishing it while trying to make it look as decent as possible. It may not always be noticeable by my uploads but I DO have other gaming interests lol and I wanted to show that at least once through a multi-character project. Ultimately this is a crossover of pirates out on a voyage together to who knows where. I would totally blame Sora for it too because of his ability to travel to other worlds and not always keep the world order XD. The real question is which world did everyone end up in? Leon is chatting it up with the puppeteer who’s clearly not falling for any of his smooth moves. Fang and Sora are having a nice laugh and Isabela I would think is listening to Sora’s talk and giving him an ‘are you serious’ stare. She’s the only legit pirate there after all. ^_^ All in all, it was fun to work with different characters this time around. :)

Was going to call it Pink Blossoms…… but I already have a different render called Pink Flower soooo yeah. ^^

It’s been just over 2 years since I’ve done any kind of joint project with my best friend @nightlight31 (Known as FairSoldier on DeviantArt. ) The last one being a render with Nero. Time flies for sure! I’m almost afraid to look back O_O.

In short, she’s the one who rendered Aerith. Isn’t it pretty!? I really like her posing! With this project, the render was handed over to me with free reign to make something of it, and here’s the result. I actually had 3 different variations i put together where alternatively, I had two different backgrounds in mind, but this one won out that was liked best. I did render the scenery Aerith is in here, after she was rendered, and even then that just started out as a test to compare picture background vs scenery, and using guess work in an attempt to match camera position and lighting. :)

My version of the theme here is that Aerith is somewhere outside of Midgar (obviously) enjoying the Sakura trees and decides to stop and take a picture. Lots of pink on pink here XD A flower enjoying the flowers…. yeah I’ll stop XD.

This pair is so cute, and I’ve had this way down my list of eventual pictures to do, so ta-da!

When I began this, I wanted to do a picture of them hugging like at the end of FF9 but….. trying to pose that was a nightmare with the models being so different, so I went with a more memorable scene (using the recent news of the bring arts figures as inspiration for the posing). I didn’t have a background anywhere near close to what we see in the original sooo, I improvised. Didn’t mean to go all sunset either but had to match the castle’s picture and all that. Zidane being the charmer he is accepts Garent’s request to be kidnapped when she tries so desperately to leave the castle. Of course Zidane was tasked to do it anyway but….still! XD

Poor Sora. Not a master. Just an ordinary whoever XD Although his clothes would call that into debate, I’m going for the Kingdom Hearts side of things ^^.

I wanted to do something for ‘Star Wars day’. Not many I know personally play into it but, it’s pretty self exclamatory: 'May the 4th be with you’. And with there now being a possible chance, one day, maybe far far from now, we might see Star Wars in KH, I wanted to do this at one point and here we are! I’ve also made one of Riku and Kairi to go along with this. Have to keep the Destiny Trio together :) And you’ll notice all 3 are in a beach setting for obvious reasons! Sora’s set up is supposed to be dawn. I think, or maybe it’s dusk. Depends on how you want to look at it. it’s Sora. He’s either going to go into the light or give into darkness too easily for one reason or another :D

Kairi’s a princess and she would make an awesome Jedi. Channeling Leia who is part of the Jedi line and all… yeah XD

And with there now being a possible chance, one day, maybe far far from now, we might see Star Wars in KH, I wanted to do this at one point and here we are! Kairi is the 3rd in the Destiny Trio set I’ve done and probably the one I’ve got the most mixed feelings about. I feel like it’s the most 'prettiest’ for sure. Because this one, unlike the other two, was done in Eevee! I think I like her expression most. And that’s saying ALOT because me and poses in any form don’t work. I actually did try some proportional editing with her mouth so I hope it came out okay. And, as with the other 2, with the beach setting, hers is set in a brighter daytime to sort of give off that 'light’ effect. Not literally. Well not much literally. It’s because she’s a pure heart and pure light so yeah, play on words. Ok im done. ^^

Riku IS a master so the title was a must to put.

Given Riku’s tie to the darkness, I felt making him stand on the beach at night was more suited for him. He’s supposed to be smirking but, face posing… yeah. Still content with it none the less. If Riku ever did get Jedi abilities, I could see him with a green lightsaber or maybe red haha. So for this to work as best as possible, I attempted to make him look like he’s got something up his sleeve. Could be some masterful move, or more darkness, who knows XD

I really REALLY hope these two get redemption and have a happy ending in KH3.   -Fingers crossed.- If not and if something happens, I want it go down like this. So at least they’ll go together.
