Fan-made Final Fantasy XV Posters

CREATOR'S NOTES:

Petition for Square Enix to release the high-quality versions of these renders, please? I really wanted to make some kind of poster for this game, but the only images I could find were so small and low quality, I almost didn't bother. Couldn't resist messing around in Photoshop anyway though and my tinkering spiraled into this, so I'd thought I'd share regardless.

I love Noctis' kingly raiment, so I really wanted to Photoshop him to be wearing it. I know it's technically flipped but I had to match the light source. I also gave Noctis his blue eyes back and cleaned the dirt off his face and clothes.

I really wanted to use Kingsglaive's Luna over the version from the game as I personally think that version pairs particularly well alongside older Noctis, just saying...

Creating Ardyn's magic was tricky and took a lot of experimentation to find the right custom brushes, but I hope the final result is close enough. I also edited one half of Ardyn's face to look corrupt with black dripping from his glowing yellow eye and some 'damaged' looking skin.

To create the floating crystals, I took images of actual diamonds, cut them into small pieces and placed them individually around the image before adding lens flares and glowing effects... which was about as tedious as it sounds.

If anyone knows where I can get my hands on some high-quality versions of these images, please let me know and I'll happily remake these posters! Hope you guys enjoy these regardless of the poor quality and let me know which version is your favorite!

MERTHUR (Escort) AU - Dating Mr. Right For All The Wrong Reasons

Chapter 13 now on AO3 (almost the whole chapter is NSFW) https://archiveofourown.org/.../52122565/chapters/162448282

Sneak Peek:

The silence stretched, heavy with the day’s unspoken residue… Agravaine’s threat, the court order looming like a guillotine, the photo that had cracked their armor. Merlin felt it settle back in, a cold weight against the heat still pulsing in his veins. Arthur’s hand tightened on his shoulder, fingers pressing into the muscle, and Merlin met his gaze. Those blue eyes were softer now, stripped of their steely look, raw with something unguarded. Trust, maybe, or need.

It hit Merlin hard, a quiet ache blooming in his chest, sharper than the lust had been.

“You okay?” Merlin murmured, voice low, thumb brushing Arthur’s wrist where the pulse still fluttered.

Arthur exhaled, a shaky laugh ghosting past his lips.

“After that? Barely.” He paused, the grin fading, and his hand slid to Merlin’s neck, thumb tracing the damp hairline.

“It’s… a lot. Monday. Agravaine. I don’t doubt who I am, but he’s got a way of making me feel like I have to prove I'm worth it."

Merlin shifted closer, the sheets rustling, their legs tangling. “You don’t have to prove shit to him. You’re Uther’s son—anyone with eyes can see it. He’s just a vulture circling a throne he’ll never have.”

His fingers tightened on Arthur’s chest, grounding them both.

“We’ll bury him. Together.”

Arthur’s smile was small, tired, but genuine, his breath warm against Merlin’s forehead.

Cas.. where the hell did you find this old thing?

Of fashion mags from the nineties? 

..Yes.
