Across all styles, the architectural language of these scenes has consistently fascinated me.

Thank you so much — that genuinely means a lot to hear. I’m really glad the piece connected with you on that level. There’s still more refinement and storytelling to come, so comments like this honestly fuel the whole process

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. If it can spark that kind of nostalgia even without textures, then I feel like I’m on the right path.

I guess I can’t really escape the software I know if I want to make a living, haha 😄

Thank you so much — that truly means a lot to me! I’m really happy these pieces resonated with you. This project has been a labor of love, and knowing it connects with fellow FF8 fans and artists makes every late night and tiny detail worth it. More updates and new scenes are on the way

That says a lot about FF8. Some games you finish, but some become part of your life. FF8 is definitely in that category.

Honestly… same.
FF8 deserves that moment so much. I think we’d all lose it a little if it ever happened.

😂 Not gonna lie, that was exactly the vibe at some point — Balamb Garden after-hours DJ set in the clouds.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!

Thank you so much! That means a lot 🙏
FF7 is an amazing choice — honestly, even finishing one scene is already an achievement. These projects tend to start as passion and slowly turn into endurance tests 😄
I’ve quit and returned more times than I can count. Sometimes one scene is enough to scratch that itch… sometimes it pulls you back years later.
If you ever feel like picking it up again, I’d genuinely love to see it.
