"Sending"
Artwork by Lady Adema
Pyreflies, Final Fantasy X
Comments: I originally had a sort of life and death theme
to this, and i drew hints of the things that connected the two from various
final fantasies. But, it just kinda turned out like this. I colored it using
photoshop 5 and used airbrushes to do the pyreflies. those things rock.

Arche Klaine, Tales of Phantasia
Comments: Arche getting ready to cast the Thunderblade spell (thus the sparks on her finger). Took the liberty of modifying her costume a bit. I think she was what made Tales of Phantasia so much fun to play (Gotta love her when she's drunk) ^_^
Lineart done with plain 'ol 2B pencils, CG'ed in PS6.

"Doyle's Claw"
Artwork by Aries Shion
Doyle, Shining the Holy Ark: This drawing represents Doyle, a werewolf ninja, that i've colored with Photoshop in a comics-like style. This was a long job but in this way you have brilliant colors and enough contrast.

"So Innocent"
Artwork by Kitt
Edgar Roni Figaro and Terra Branford, Final Fantasy VI
Comments: Because the world needs more Edgar/Terra pics, IMO. Lately I've been going for a style similar to Amano's, simply because his work is so beautiful and fairytale-like ^_^
And the title...well, the expression on Terra's face kinda says that, doesn't it? And she's *blond* in this! Done in color pencil, with touch-ups in Paint Shop.

"Rikku of the Al Bhed"
Artwork by AnEmeigurl
Rikku, Final Fantasy X
Comments: Rikku is quite a pretty cool character! She's always full of spirit! And those eyes of hers are kinda dizzy....Anyway, here she is! Hope u guys like!

Lapiz Lasuli, Ragnarök Online
Comments: Ah, I was so happy to see that RO Made it to RPGamer^_^ (and I haven't contributed in YEARS O_O!!) and I know there's tons of fanart out there, so I decided to provide with some of my own stuff^_~ Lapis Lazuli is my TO BE Merchant. Merchants are ever so cool when they fight, AND they are good at making money (for my other characters, that is) I like this pic, because her expression turned out so well^_^ Done with markers!

"Cut Your Strings"
Artwork by Shade
Cloud, Final Fantasy VII
Comments: Cloud is such a fun character to draw. All the FF7 characters are, I guess that's why so many people still draw them... This is the first in part of a series I'm doing, though I've only finished three so far. Because there's nothing wrong with more fanart. :)

Squall and Rinoa, Final Fantasy VIII
Comments: One of my hobbies is
scrapbooking, so one day I came up with the crazy idea
to scrapbook my love of Final Fantasy VIII! These
paper dolls are just one of the things that I'm going
to include on a 2-page layout for the game. Materials
used were misc. colored paper scraps, gel pens,
markers, glue, and some more exotic types of paper
like fuzzy mulberry paper for jacket collar, mirror
paper for belt buckle and gunblade (not shown 'cause
too reflective when scanning) and denim patch for
skirt. I had a lot of fun customizing their outfits
from paper.

Rikku and Yuna, Final Fantasy X
Comments: I did this on a Paintchat with Vano. We discussed on what to do and ended up doing this. =) He did Yuna while I worked on Rikku. Our styles are different as you can tell. It turned out better than both of us had hoped! Hope you like the pic!

Black Waltz, Final Fantasy IX
Comments: My favorite character
design in Final Fantasy IX is the Black Waltz, he
conveys impending doom, while still remaining cute.
This piece was made entirely on the computer (I can't
draw at all) and I'm fairly pleased with how it turned
out, although there are inconsistencies w/ the
original character design. I watched FMV clips as
references, but in the end I just got tired and my
overall lack of artistic ability kicked in.

Feedback
"Skull Kid Wanna Be"
Artwork by Meowtwo
Fayth of Bahamut, Final Fantasy X
Comments: This kid in Final Fantasy 10 always creeped me out. Um, that really doesn't have anything to do with the picture . . . Well, this is a pic of that "kid"
in the pose of the Skull Kid from Zelda: Majora's Mask. He kinda looks like
the guy and is creepy all the same. Oh, and Bahamut's head and round floaty
thing is in the background also. Done in colored pencils.
Director Comments: You've got a nice, very soft feel going on here. The colored pencils keep a low intensity, and low contrast. However, this works against you in one place: the shadow at the kid's feet. It's the darkest area of the image, and all in one large spot. This makes it a focal point, something you probably don't want his feet to be. Tone down your shadow areas in situations like this, and try using blue to indicate the shadow rather than a deep black. If you must have a dark spot, balance it out with a bright color elsewhere, to draw the eye away from the spot. Or, try using shadow strategically, to create a focal point somewhere else, like his face.

Tutorials
Bolt!
This is another of the quick and easy tutorials, this time on lightning bolts. There are only 3 steps to this lesson, and after reading it, you shouldn't have any problems with lightning bolts using The Gimp or Photoshop, or any other image manipulation programs.
Step One
For this, start with an all black image. It doesn't really matter what the size is, but mine will be 256x256.
Step Two
Now, using the airbrush, draw a pretty faint white jaggy line. If you want to, have little white branches coming out of it (kind of like lightning bolts tend to have =p). This step will be made much simpler if you have a tablet to draw with.
Step Three
Now get a brush that is much bigger than the one you used in part 1. Gently go over what you've already done. This new brush stroke should be very faint, and just barely visible, but it will make the previous bolt lighter (which is what we want).
And we're done!
