Hey folks! It's finally done! As you'd expect, having two characters in the same scenes sure made this a complicated animation to work on. It was fun, but gruelling...and sexy. This isn't quite perfect, but I've worked on this long enough, and it's time to release it. I hope you enjoy it!

This marks the first time I've worked on Tifa since 2019, and the first time ever working on Aerith. I like both characters quite a lot, so it was fun to create them in my software and bring them to life, as they themselves create life. They're shown to be quite close in the games, and here they become even closer. I wonder if they'll get even closer in the future?

So what else can I say about this project that I haven't already said in the WIP posts? This animation was another test of Rive's ability to handle a lot of data, and somehow it managed to do just fine (although I noticed that my GPU was getting hotter the more scenes I added to the project file). But adding all those extra layers and details added a lot of production time to each scene, which was worth it but man, navigating all those layers was a pain...

As you can see, lots of birth in this animation. Consider me birthed out for a little bit, so I'll likely avoid birth (or graphic birth) for the next animation project or two. No idea what project but I'll try to do something different. First, I'll take a break lol.

Enough outta me. Enjoy the animation, thanks for your patience and support and I'll see you soon with...something? TTFN!
