It took me a week to finish this. Well, six days. But I'm done. Finally. Oh gods, was it worh the effort. Six days and four - no, five! - different tutorials, as well as experimentation with layer options. But dayamn, am I proud of it.

For those of you who don't know Chrono Trigger (fat chance if you're looking at MY stuff, but you might have seen it on the front page at random or something), this is the triple technique Dark Eternal, one of Magus's two triple techniques and one of my favorite attacks in the whole game. I mean, it combines the two absolutely most powerfu spells there are (Dark Matter and Flare), and it looks really cool as well. Pity there isn't a triple tech with Dark Matter, Flare, and Luminaire... heck, it's a pity that Magus only has two multiple techniques at all! But... yeah. Back onto "for those of you who don't know Chrono Trigger." The characters are, from left to right, Lucca (obligatory brainy character), Magus (obligatory angsty guy), and Marle (female lead and obligatory love interest to main character, who isn't present here). Hee, 'obligatory' is a funny word.

Tutorials used are here:
[link] - Main flamey bit of fire surrounding Lucca
[link] - Ice-fountain-magic-light-thing behind Marle (I only used half of the resulting image, and played with it a bit... this tutorial only covers how to get the light rays, not how to make them into a single fountain)
[link] - Fire in beckground behind Lucca (last step or two skipped)
[link] - Lens effect of Lucca's glasses
I lost the link to the tutorial I used for the stars.
