here’s what i’ve been cooking the past few weeks, a PMV for @antisphinx and i’s final fantasy vii AU that we’re in the process of writing, though i took a decent sized break to work on this. i’m quite pleased with how much i think i was able to communicate without spoiling any of the biggest plot points. maybe my favorite element of this project is all the B roll i collected to synthesize with my art, which is almost entirely home video or documentaries produced in the 1990s (or 70s/80s for the “backstory” segments). i thought i was going to have to post this in two parts because of an arbitrary 3 min video limit but i guess not!! yay! with this done i’m looking forward to getting back to writing + my usual illustration cycle. HUGE thanks for watching if you do end up sitting through the whole thing, as this was a big personal achievement for a very personal project and personally meaningful piece of music. i hope it’s enjoyable even without knowledge of our plans or FFVII as a game. i also hope you can all forgive me for unleashing buzzcut sephiroth into the world but it had to be done. the audio sample i spliced into the beginning btw is a clip of the old CTA announcement recordings, isn’t that cuuuuute?

It hurts to set you free, but you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end

What if final fantasy 7 was real life. More to follow

these are designs for an au/re-imagining of fvii that my evil associate @branules and i have been developing. it's set in chicago in 1997 w/ a fairly loose interpretation of the canon characters for this project with a lot of artistic liberties so don't get scared ok. there's a strong aeriseph lean also but not like you've ever seen before just trust us ok

happy families

“no matter how far i ruck the darkness is right behind me.” from @antisphinx and i’s ff1997 real world au.

it’s killing me to not explain in literal narrative terms what is happening in this scene, but i hope it’s clear that sephiroth’s past is shadowing the present. also, “ruck” is military slang for hiking with gear, running under burden.
