^^^My Work^^^
^^^BEFORE^^^
I found the wallpaper of a more recent final fantasy with the four looking out from the mountain side and i thought to myself, why don't I incorporate the classic Final Fantasy 7 characters in a portrait scene. First I started by slowly taking out the four characters and replacing the back-drop of the forest and mountains to make a landscape scene of the land by itself. After using all of the retouching tools and patience, I took the background and put a light filter of a sketch look to match the characters that will be added.
Then adding the characters in layer by layer in a portrait stance with ground shadowing and placement. Adding in the main enemies of the game with a fading memory look in the clouds with opacity changes and erased edges brings the feathered look to the layers. Finally topping it all off with a hue and saturation boost and you have a nice wallpaper/poster scene of the Final Fantasy 7 gang ready for battle.
