Giga Gaia on Mt. Woe - Chrono Trigger Fan Art

I wanted to try my hand at a cinematic render in UE5.
Frog, (from an older project) makes an appearance as the hero.
Tried out AccuRig on both of them and I'm impressed. I had to create some temp 'arms' for Giga Gaia, because it couldn't figure out the gap, but the rest was easy.
Also, my first time making anything remotely environmental. Learned a bunch about kits (instead of having a million custom rocks), as well as texturing large scenes. Ground is a texture by AleksandrIvanov from the Unreal Marketplace.
Got some extra bits and wip about this project in my blog.

Animation test in AccuRig. I'm impressed with the weight painting on the fingers.
