Ursula of Breath of Fire 4
"Foxy Soldier"
Artwork by K Kirk
Comments: Ursula is such a cool character! It's not often
that you see such strong females in RPGs. Her design is interesting too -
she's the only oriental-looking fox woman in all of role-playing! Comments
are welcome.

Zidane of Final Fantasy IX
"Love Sick"
Artwork by Anchella
Comments: Poor little Zidane! He's having troubles with
women (well, one in particular) and doesn't know what to do about it, other
than hang around in a bar and mope. He's so sad even his tail is drooping!
Taken from one of the "awww" moments in this great game ^_^

Freya of Final Fantasy IX
"JUMP!"
Artwork by Snowdon
Comments:Originally drawn maybe a couple weeks after the game came out when a
friend pointed out that he couldn't find any Freya fan art. Since
Dragoons rock and Freya's just a cool character and a cool design, I
was happy to fix the problem.
When I drew this, there wasn't much to use as reference for her
design, and so there's a lot of mistakes, but it's still a decent picture.

Shu of Suikoden II
"Strategist's Block"
Artwork by A-Chan
Comments: You know, it's been said before, and I'll say it again;
there's not enough Suikoden/Suikoden II fanart out there!
Furthermore, I don't think I've ever seen a fanart of Shu, so I
decided to take matters into my own hands. *evil laughter* Ahem, I
didn't really do him justice, since Shu is a very cool character and
this is a semi-lazy job, but I felt someone had to do it! Maybe I
can inspire others to get some Suikoden art in circulation... ^_^

Rastaban of SaGa Frontier
"Shadow Knight~Rastaban"
Artwork by Sakana

on my water-color skill...>_< This is just a simple potrait of Rastaban.
This is a he, not a she....^^;; I really like green hair chatacters.

King Dragon of Dragon Quest
"King Dragon"
Artwork by James Gray
Comments: The original and most classical RPG villain, the King Dragon
(Dragonlord or DracoLord in the US), is so cute and seriously lacks
artist interpretations. The few I've seen destroy how cute he looked
originally in the game. My interpretation is to show how cute and young
he looked.

Blank of Final Fantasy IX
"Featuring Blank: Now in Monochrome!"
Artwork by .n.a.t.e.
Comments: Poor Blank. No one ever draws any pics of him. I
may not be qualified, but I care! I even gave him a much-needed pair of
pants.

- Use larger brushes. This helps eliminate the jagged-edge look which plagues MS Paint. My personal
favorite is the 3 pixel round brush.
- Don't fuss over colors. What I mean by this is that, by putting various colors next to eachother,
colors that aren't exactly perfect, you can often create a better sense of three-dimensionality and
light than if you'd used an airbrush tool in Photoshop.
- Try not to stray too far from the basic pallete. If you do, there may be some loss of color quality
when you save it.
- Early airbrush tools are tacky, plain and simple. Though they work in some places, namely
backgrounds, when working on something detailed like a face they tend to make forms muddled and
unhappy.
- Zoom in. Often. I personally recommend a 4X zoom. It allows you a good view of the pixels, while
adding necessary control.
That's about all. Just remember, it's not what program you use that defines you as an artist, it's how
well you use it!
