Hello there! First I''d like to say that is a very beautiful piece. It makes me rather emotional considering that we are all familiar with Zack and Aerith's story and Zack's rather unfortunate fate. I'd have to say what captivated me the most was the details of this piece. I looked carefully and it seems you worked very hard filling out the tiniest of details such as the stitches on Zack's leather belt, the wooly texture of the turtleneck, their hair, Aerith's skirt and the thin lines on the blades of grass.

Your lighting and shading is what makes the piece come to life too, immediately you can get the feeling of the amount of glow around the characters with the way you did your lighting and shading. I just have to say I had a little difficulty spotting some of the feathers since they are white and some of them were placed against the white flowers and because they had a little glow, I had to squint to make them out. But I really think this is nothing to be concerned about. The focus of the piece are Zack and Aerith and not the feathers XD

You did a good job. Keep it up!
