D-d-d-double Waahtis post! If I recall correctly, there are only two artists that drew consecutive scenes. I did my absolute best to keep artists' art spread throughout the project where possible, so just two isn't bad, really!
When I remember this moment in the game, it was sort of like a break for our Avalanche group. Their buggy breaks down and they kind of get this relief and they all get a brief moment to think about their lives and how it's taken a sudden turn. It was a very beautiful moment.
Pff, I like Elena's disapproving face in the background when the Turks are talking about their crushes. :P
DrAssenov, loving the angle and perspective in your picture of Zack's parents, the way the characters appear larger closer to the foreground gives it a sense of depth and I'm really enjoying the different reactions you gave everyone with their expressions and body language; the soft lighting from the window and the way Tifa's body is in shadow adds a lot of dramatic contrast! I thought the scene was quite bittersweet as well.
And wow, stunning background on the Cosmo Canyon piece, the strong blues and reds bring out the atmosphere of the place very well, with the silhouetted foreground framing it nicely. Really like all the detail in the cliff and the small lights burning in the houses, brings back memories of one of my favorite areas; I still love that music.
The Cosmo canyon scenes and Bugenhagens observatory video and lesson was indeed quite deep and beautifully done. It had very deep impact on me. I remember having chills running down my spine when that music started and Bugen began to tell the story about the planet.
