Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Wallpaper: Because You Live, I Live

Hisashi Hirai Mangaka Sunrise (Studio) Studio Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Series Athrun Zala Character Cagalli Yula Athha Character

Kira and Lacus had a GSeed one, a GSD one, and then there's also one in Final Plus. Shinn had one with Stella and another one with Luna :) but what about Athrun?! AsuCaga doesn't have one! AsuCaga <3<3<3 So I made one especially just for AsuCaga (I <3 Athrun!hehe) Hope my fellow AsuCaga fans will love this too ;)
I've had this idea for so long, and it's just now that I finally decided to do it. I had that hesitation before since I'm not quite sure with my skill of fitting a head with other bodies.
haha I was suppose to make something for the Chinese Lunar New Year BUT I ended up too engrossed with making this one! :P anyways...
I've also been wanting to make a wallie with a sunset theme (since what I always do are ones with sparkly stars ^_^'). It's my first time with it...but I hope I did well with the sunset background :)

Duration: 5 days
Layers: 110++
Musical inspiration: Because You Live by Jesse McCartney <3 I had a bit of hard time deciding on which line in the song should I use for the title haha :)

and this hot pic of Athrun here
Looking for the 'perfect fit' shirtless body for Athrun's head was really hard...and awkward too ROFL! :P I feel like a pervy girl rumaging around MT then Google Images for spics of hirtless anime guy pics haha! Oh, and another funny thing is that my mom and dad kept on passing by me while I was doing that so I have to be alert to minimize the window or switch to another tab...cuz they might have misunderstood :))

- body vectored from: http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff259/FloraNamine/Opening_006.jpg and then, I had a little help from this pic for the arm.
- silhouette vectored from: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/216426 Didn't use use the Cagalli with Athrun on that scan for the silhouette because I want to Cagalli in a dress in order to have that 'the knight & his princess' feel. I did wee wee bit of tweaking on the skirt and on her hand although I doubt it's noticeable :P

DO NOT rip or post elsewhere (i.e. Zerochan)!

EDIT: I put up an alternate version (without the silhouette) of this vector-wallie :)
