You will agree that there's SPLENDID fanart today, I have no doubt...But hey, when you have RPGamer veteran artists Blademoor, Sandara, Beeho, Saskia, Damian Fox, Sakana, Sydney Kyle, Laura, Lumina, Chun, Landale, and Petra (all submitting in the same time frame!?), you've got a whammy of an update already. (Lorelai hugs each and every artist!) And I haven't even finished listing all the names! Be sure to check out Edward Juan, Claire Y, Philippe, Chan, and Amber's awesome art. I hope to see more from you gals/guys in particular! Who will be the first to beat Hanna Chang and her record 49 submissions?

Oh yes, by the way, There are so many artworks up here that I'm gonna ask this again: to contact the artist, please just e-mail me with "attn: (artist's name)" and I will relay the e-mail in full, and CC back to you. No flames, no inappropriateness, no snide comments, and no blank e-mails; they will not be relayed. I am creating this system because I want to respect the artist's privacy; I'm omitting the "mailto:lorelai@rpgamer.com?subject="attn:(artist name)" because....I'm lazy, so eat me. ^_^;;;

• Blademoor - Red Mage, FF Tactics Style
  Blademoor says: I have always thought the Red Mage was the coolest class in Final Fantasy I with not only his looks, but also his versatility. I was somewhat disappointed that the Red Mage did not make it into FF Tactics, so I thought I'd make my own interpretation of what he might have looked like in FFT.

• Chun - Rinoa! - Final Fantasy VIII
  Chun says: I drew Rinoa over and over until I got the feeling she gave me (when I saw her in those amazing movie clips O_O) But now I think I want to redraw it again *L* , this picture is kindly printed out on PSM June! ^^/

• Laura - Locke from Final Fantasy VI
  Laura Says: Umm well this pic was inspired by all of my other old pics of Locke that I went back and actually looked at. I think this is the best Locke pic I've done so far he almost looks the right age (I pretty sure that in the game he is supposed to about 27 and in all my other Locke pics he looks 13 or 14).

• Sydney Kyle - Tifa: Lady in Blue - FF7

• Saskia Lemke - Red XIII and Seto - Final Fantasy VII

• Sandara3 - Leon Magus and Clemente
  - Tales of Destiny -
  Sandara says: this here is Leon Magnus, that arrogant kid who is somewhat of a prodigy. the sword that he has with him is Chaltier...[the other] picture is the bit where Philia Felice (that's the girl with the green hair) gets her Swordian (the swordians are intelligent swords... they can talk) Clemente, the "dirty old man" ^_^ behind her are Leon and Stahn. it's not very obvious, but Stahn is holding Dymlos, his swordian.

• Beeho - Tifa - Final Fantasy VII
  Beeho says: This is Tifa, supposedly in the dress she wears for Honey Bee Inn. ^^ I didn't like it that much, but a friend of mine did... I hope you guys like it too.

• Claire Y. - MiniSketch - Bahamut Lagoon

• Damian "Lorelai's Mr. Boombastic ::sword pose::" Fox
  Yuffie and Hawkeye - Final Fantasy VII and ??? (he didn't tell me) Damian says: This was actually drawn a year or so ago and I just slept on it until recently. I KNOW the geometry of the tower is way off, but its not a serious pic so who cares. Although the depth of the background is lacking somewhat you must admit the stone foundation of the Wutai pagoda is fresh! Also... although Hawkeye may be getting Yuffie's attention in this scene, he DOES get allot of ladies for a guy who accessorizes entirely in lavender...

• Petra Rödig - Cerberus - Castlevania SOTN
  Petra Says: With today's artwork I've tried something new. Well, you cannot see it on the scan really good, but it's a collage. Alucard and the "hellhound" are one piece, the floor is the second piece, and the fire (background) the third and last.

• Sakana - Lion - Tales of Destiny

• Edward Juan - Link and Epona - Zelda: Ocarina of Time

• Philippe, AKA Osirus - the IAF - Final Fantasy VI
  Phil says: It took two days to make, I didn't sleep much anyway and felt very dizzy while I was making this, had a bunch of problemes while making it, such has objects chaning size all of a sudden and for some reasons one of the arm dissapared when I was about to finish the picture. I had to use an old sketch picture of those machine to know what they really looked like, and I know it isn't 100% accurate. Unipsycho sent me two screen shots of the IAF ships in the FMV of Final Fantasy Anthology, thank you. If you don't remember those ships, they are the Imperial Air Force (IAF) of FFVI.

• Satsuki - Darth Maug...?! - FF7 / Star Wars
  Satsuki says: Bless me Lorelai, for I have sinned and made a Star Wars joke out of FF7. I don't know if anyone else thought of this.. perhaps because of the lengthy debates on exactly how Cait Sith's name is pronounced.. but as far as the printed word goes, I thought this would be pretty dern funny. ^__^;; It ended up being sick and wrong looking with the stuffed Mog looking the way it does, but everyone I've 'tested' it on says it's still good. We'll see, though.. view at your own risk. ^_-

• Amber - Elly in the Sun - Xenogears
  Amber tiredly says: I would comment on these.. but it's 2:30 in the morning and I am about to pass out on my keyboard. And for some odd reason I decided I want to submit these pictures to RPGamer, though they are at least 3 months old.. go figure, I still like them though. Must be the late night coke I had rushing to my brain.

• Landale - Angerina and Shiva
  - Langrisser and Final Fantasy VII -
  Landale says: Well, first of all I simply love the art of The Langrisser games. They«re really beautiful. (even if most girls have a lil to little clothing ^^;;) Sadly enough Langrisser isn«t very wellknown here in the west even tough it«s HUGE in Japan, therefore I tought that It would be pretty nice to draw a fanart! Half of the phun to draw the charas is because of the clothes..not by the fact that the girls doesn«t wear all that much, but because they«re fun to draw!

  [About] my second Shiva fanart: This was actually just something I made during a boring class and decided to color at the Art Class. I really like the way it turned out, especially her skin tone. This picture was at first named "Shiva- Young Maid of Ice" but after listening to "Vangelis" album "Antartica" I renamed the pic.

• Lumina - Aya: Charms || Crossover Jokers
  Parasite Eve and FF7, FF6, Castlevania SOTN
  Charms:   The first is a somewhat older Parasite Eve fanart pic that I drew a little while back. The background was a bit difficult to work with (heck, I'm STILL disappointed with it, to be honest), but I'm rather pleased with how Aya turned out. I like this one best for the shading, however.

  Jokers:   Yet ANOTHER older picture, which I drew near the end of my Junior high school year. I noted how Alucard, Sephiroth, and Setzer all looked strongly alike, so I really couldn't help myself when I drew this.

• Chan - Aerith - Final Fantasy VII
  Chan says: This is Aerith from Final Fantasy VII.
