So with the background rendered, Atlas begins breaking down all of the individual elements of the piece. I specifically asked that all the character elements remain on individual layers so that I can crop/shift as needed for various size applications.
Altas was unsatisfied with the original Akello body and while sometimes there's a fine balance between making adjustments and letting things be, Atlas committed to reworking him a bit here to better suit the angle and pose.
In the corner of the piece, Mori's monster form is starting to come together.
And mori himself is looking very polished. I love the hot pink lighting, its a fun color and it links TCM back to lots of other romantic visual novel style games while still having a really unique look of its own with the darker purples and stuff of the surrounding artwork + visuals.
