Hmm. It's Friday at 4pm and I'm half asleep. How did that happen?

1. This Week. Oh wow, we've got Final Fantasy submissions like nobody's business! Let's work our way through them chronologically. For you old-school Final Fantasy fans, Dead Fishie sends in a fantastic Kefka that will make you smile and make you wake up in the middle of the night screaming. Next we have a pair of Sephiroths, one light-hearted version from Barananduen, another ... not so light-hearted but still excellent piece by Dave Wilkinson. seraphik's YuRiLu (LuRiYu? RiYuLu?) submission will make you feel so kawaii inside that you'll start burping pink elephants and daisies. Also from the realm of Final Fantasy 10 is an outstanding Valefor contributed by Wyna Hiros. And coming soon to a theater near you: an absolutely spectacular Cloud by Marie Lu. As promised, Rachel York finishes up her Suikoden 3 heroes series with the woman voted sexiest RPG character by me just now--Chris! Fox shoots us an awesome Shin Megami Tensei submission featuring Hitoshura, while Kenton Alkemi gives us yet another amazing Fire Emblem ensemble. Closing things out this week is shojokakumeii00 and a beautiful Citrine. I like orange.
