Made this air gear wall at the request of a friend. just to be clear, akito and agito (the two depicted) are male and they are two personalities within the same body.

i vectored them from a black and white manga scan (chapter 63, i think) that i got from my friend. i then colored and shaded according to my imagination, so the placement of shadows probably isn't right. xD; i deliberately changed the colors of their clothes so they'd fit the color scheme better. lastly, there are some lighting effects (can't tell without a before-and-after comparison). before you kill me, yes, i know there are jaggies. >__<

for the gears (all different, vectored by me), i was thinking about time and the AT mechanism (AT aka those "roller blades", lol). akito/agito being carefree happens once in a blue moon, so the stopped gears = frozen time = opportunity to see this rare instant. (use your imagination! :x) the disintegration of the gears (which was lots of fun to do) add that touch of danger/turmoil/whatever to an otherwise happy scene. the debris also show that demise is befalling them/this moment --> happiness is ephemeral. get it? .__. the clock stuff from the texture (credit goes to DA!) is there because of the whole time thing, but that holds no dominance, seeing as clocks are more of a sano (another character) thing.

the incomplete main text should say "our fragile coexistence". the others say "can this last forever?", "our dreams, our hopes", and "In the wake of our footsteps floats the dust of destruction." what else...oh, 4:3 and 5:4 versions are just crops of the widescreen original. i prefer the original.

note to dan: thanks again for helping me find out the color of their AT. note to saku: i've got my idea for making the scenic version, but it'll take forever since this is a request wall and my friend likes it, i'm submitting.
