Sephiroth of Final Fantasy VII
"Legendary Knight"
Artwork by Ryuuzaki
Comments: Ohohohoho~~~ SephySephy!! XD I luv him!!
He's my one and only man. =b Methinks I finally drew him in a way that he's deserving of...but watch, a few months from now I'll be cursing myself for having drawn such a horrible picture of him. XD Always happens.

Asellus of SaGa Frontier
"Ready to fight?"
Artwork by Sakana
Medium: Photoshop 5.0 and ink
Comments: One of my favorite piece of Asellus artwork. ^-^ Does anyone find that Utena's status looks like Asellus? Somehow, Asellus consider as a Prince in my heart, cause she touches White Rose too much.

Nanami of Suikoden 2
"How to Disappear Completely"
Artwork by Kyaa
Comments: The lyrics (and title) of the image is from a yummy and depressing Radiohead song. It fits the Nanami spoiler, at least. ^^; I can't decide if I like the color scheme of this pic. It's very autumn for spring... ^^;;

Geomancer from Final Fantasy Tactics
"Nature's Weapon"
Artwork by Red Chocobo
Comments: Yaaay, my first submission! Anyway, this picture was done in Paint Shop Pro 5.0 with a mouse. I had fun doing the Geomancer herself, but I wasn't very fond of the grass and the really really bad-looking flowers and the really cheap filters. Excuse its corny name.

Vincent Valentine of Final Fantasy VII
"Waiting"
Artwork by Kage
Comments: Yes, I know his neck is too long and his eyes are crooked. Yes, I know the colored pencil quality is pretty poor. But it's Vincent, and I, quite frankly, love Vincent. Don't knock the gothic vampire. As to why he's waiting, well...he's....waiting. For me. Hahahaha.

Edward Chris Mon Siur of Final Fantasy IV
"Hide!!"
Artwork by Black Rose
Comments: Well, you see fanart of almost every other character in FF4 using THEIR special abilities! Why not bard-boy?

Tidus of Final Fantasy X
"Aqua Strike"
Artwork by Duncan Burris
Comments: Well well, another picture drawn entirely with the mouse. Not too bad, although it took about 4 hours to do, and a day to color. Most of that is because of the massive size of the picture, which I shrunk down to an acceptable 800x600 (Perfect for desktops). I gotta get used to my tablet... =P

Harle of Chrono Cross
"Beautiful Dreamers"
Artwork by Carolyn Chen
Comments: At the time, I really just wanted to do a picture of Harle. My computer crashed four times while doing the background and I ended up with something not quite what I had originally planned. Love Chrono Cross.

Zell of Final Fantasy VIII
"Punk Zell"
Artwork by Celes Chere
Comments: It was done in ink then scanned in and colored in painter classic. This is my first pic done in painter. This isn't one of my best drawings because I was in a bit of an artistic rut that day but I like it anyway. It has personality and can't you just imagine Zell having a tongue ring?

Lucia, Lemina and Jean of Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
"Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Beach Party!"
Artwork by Dennis Poon
Comments: Too bad summer vacation is still quite a ways away ;_; Anyways, this was an attempt to give my CG's a 'softer' look! I tried to make the outlines as thin as possible, and make the hair less sharp than before.

Magus and Schala of Chrono Trigger
"Angel In the Night"
Artwork by Maggie Sue
Comments: I finally did it! It took me AGES to totally finish this pic, mostly because I can never make up my mind about what I want my art to look like. Some of my friends saw this pic and loved it, so I got over my fear and finally sent it. I'm sure this isn't the best work I can do, but I'm still learning and developing my skills. Magus is the coolest character ever created for an RPG, so I decided to draw him and Schala. I'm not sure, but I drew this with the idea that Schala did die. So, she's watching her poor little brother in his sleep, kinda like a guardian angel. I thought it was a kewl idea. I've rambled on for quite a while now, so, I'll catch ya'll later!

Alucard and Maria of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
"Moonlight Nocturne"
Artwork by GlassShard
Comments: This picture is so uncharacteristically romantic of me. Usually my artwork is limited to blood, bishounen, or bloody bishounen. Ah, well. Alucard and Maria, drawn on a whim. I've always loved the SOTN character designs and been fond of pairing up the vamp and the chick. Fangirl that I am, I like to imagine Maria hauled Al from his coffin post-game, then ran off and had like, a million little bat-winged kiddies with him. I can dream. This was a simple line drawing scanned into Painter 6.0 and then watercolored to death.

Hello Merripen,
I have this 'arty-question' (arty question? Is there even such thing?).
I enjoy drawing anime characters, mainly ones from FF7 and Megatokyo (www.megatokyo.com). Most of the pictures looks exactly like the original, so it seems as though it's been copied.
Should I carry on continuing copying these anime characters, or should I start making them more 'original'? I usually have fun drawing, but the thought of copying doesn't seem right.
Thanks in advance,
-Ultima

Since you're starting an art Q&A I figured I should submit something that's been irking me for some time. Whenever I use the channels in Photoshop to select the black and paste it onto another layer the lines become too faded to work with. I want to know the best way to get your black and white drawing onto a transparent layer. I'm using Photoshop 5.5 if that helps any. Thanks.

I saw the fan art page for RPGamer and saw that you were going to try a Q&A session. Well, here's a few questions for you.
1. What's a good computer program for drawing and creating pictures?
2. How did you start yourself into drawing pictures like those in the Art gallery? Did you start by freehand? Buy an instruction book? Have someone else teach you some tips? etc?
Thanks-Mysticstar
