Okage Wickedness Contest Winners

Grand Prize Winner
Okage Wickedness Contest Winner: Sephiroth of Final Fantasy VII
Comments: The most evil villain? The first characters that appeared in my mind was Sephiroth from FFVII and Luca from Suikoden 2. In the end I decided that Sephiroth was an easier choice. Hope you'll enjoy this pic. ^_^

2nd Place Winner
"Burns Like Fire"
Artwork by Laura
Okage Wickedness Contest Winner: Garland of Final Fantasy IX
Comments: Ok, I know that Garland is probably not the most evil of RPG villains...I had trouble finding any really evil quotes to put on this piece (he's definitely no Kefka). But, he's got such an evil character design that I decided that he should be the subject for my wickedness picture. Comparing this to my other paintings, it is by far the "darkest" thing I've ever painted. So, for that reason it was quite a challenge. Overall, I like the way it turned out, especially his eyes.

3rd Place Winner
"Despot"
Artwork by David Lee
Okage Wickedness Contest Winner: Luka of Suikoden II
Comments: I decided to depict Prince/King Luka of Suikoden 2 because unlike most RPG god-like villains, he is incredibly real. There has been monarchs/political leaders
throughout human history who would kill simply because of class/race/religion differences (e.g. Hitler), or kill for religious purposes (e.g. bin Laden). Luka killed not
only grown men but also children, women, elders, anything that moved, and enjoyed listening to them "squeal like pigs." This scene can be interpreted as such, or if
you'd like to be more specific, it can be the scene where he was going after Pilika and the possible outcome of it. I don't take games seriously, but Luka was one
character that really touched my nerves.

"Valkyrie"
Artwork by Deus
Valkyrie of Valkyrie Profile
Comments: This is an print that I did last summer. It was my first attempt at traditional printmaking. The background is aquatint and the foreground is something else (I forgot what the technique is called).

"My Very Own"
Artwork by Maggie Sue
Crono and Marle from Chrono Trigger
Comments: Heck yeah, I think I'm actually getting better at CG-ing... I had a lot of fun with this pic. Crono and Marle make such a cute couple, and they deserve a cute moment like this one. I like how Crono is holding Marle protectively, yet sweetly, kinda like he wants to keep her safe and be with her (aweee). That's where the title for the pic kinda kicked in... I couldn't think of anything better to call it. I know I keep doing artwork for these old-school games, but everyone loves a classic, plus Chrono Trigger was and still is my favorite RPG. As always, comments are always welcome! Lata!

"Through the Fire"
Artwork by Yapi
Shiek of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Comments: Sorry about the cheesy title... It was just that I was wondering what to do with the background then that cheesy song that goes "through the fiiiire..." sprang into my head... and there you go >_< I did this little number with Copic Markers and Caran D'Ache watercolors for that really lame fire rendering over there. Ahahaha. I do love Shiek, though! And I refuse to accept that he is --------- (just in case someone hasn't played it and doesn't want to know). I based this on the manga version of Shiek, not the game version. Of course, I wasn't carrying my manga with me while I was inking, which explains the inaccurate design on his chest. Oh well.

Alex and Nall from Lunar: The Silver Star
Comments: This is not the first Cg art. In fact, I think I did this last month. I really like Nall (not to mention his good use in battle), plus he and alex make a good team.

"The Turks"
Artwork by Voodookanaka
The Turks from Final Fantasy VII
Comments: This is my first piece of fan art, I used watercolours for it, if I knew what I was doing computer wise it would prolly look better.

"Behemoth"
Artwork by RedChocobo
Behemoth of the Final Fantasy Series
Comments: This is my first submission...ever. I drew this one day for know reason really, I drew it from memory, so it's not perfect, and the color isn't the best but I'm pleased with it.

Feedback
"Confident Einherjar"
Artwork by Wind Walker
Aelia of Valkyrie Profile
Comments: I wanted to draw something in a more anime style than usual, so here is my take on Aelia of Valkyrie Profile. I tried to emulate the style of Satoshi Urushihara (the artist for the Langrisser games), particularly the ususual suit of armor and method of shading. This style is just about the opposite of the art and mood of Valkyrie Profile, but drastically changing the style while making Aelia look familiar was an intersting challenge. I think the whole picture turned out well despite my lack of experience with graphics editors.
Director Comments: Just a word of advice when compositing 2d art and photo images - try to soften or even blur the edges of your art just a little, and you can avoid having the character stand so harshly out from the background. It creates the illusion that of the two images blending smoothly together.

Hello, I'm Jess, an avid fan of your webpage (Yes, a fan of fanart) and I
would just like to thank all the people who submitted fanart for the
Fanart section of your page. The drawings are awesome, a lot better than
I can to at the moment, and they had the bravery to put it up on a public
website where millions of people could see them... Anyways, in total,
congratulations on the success of a spectacular webpage.
