Comments: This just started out as an idea about doing the unseen half of the bandanna/ bird scene from the world of ruin portion of the game and turned into an attempt to show the feeling of loss that Locke must have had during his travels alone, thinking everyone else dead. I have no idea whether I succeeded in the trying, but I'm fairly happy about the result (though, looking at it now, it does have some problems, mainly the blurred feathers and the sand in the background). The pic itself was a combination of some light ink/pencil work and a lot of CG. And yes, I do realize that the depiction looks nothing like Mr. Amano's version ^^; It's kind of hard to explain, but, as much as I like Amano's work, this is how I've come to think of his (Locke's) design and so I really couldn't have drawn him any other way. As far as his nose is concerned...well, call it too much of an affinity for Escaflowne ^^;

Comments: Contrary to most people believe, I am not an all Xenogears fan. Final Fantasy 7 is definitely one of my favorites too. I really hated that moment when Aeris died and Cloud was such a heel about her death. Here I tried reminiscing that moment Aeris fell into Cloud's arms, using colored pencil and a few editing with Photoshop. I promise I'll make a CG colored portrait of them soon!

Comments: Another request piece by a Tifa-obsessed fan! :) This is my vision of Cloud and Tifa's wedding. I love their expressions; and such a cute little kiss. *sniff* This is one of three I drew, but I'll submit them separately, in case Lorelai thinks I'm getting to be a post-pig. Is anyone sick of seeing my Tifa drawings? :) If not, go to http://www.geocities.com/heartland/garden/2675/fanart.html. I have all my fanart (FFVII and other) posted there for your perusal. I'll try to upload my new pictures at least twice a month...maybe weekly.

Comments: Okay, the history behind how I was inspired to do this picture is too complicated and warped that I really don't want to go into it, so I'll just lie instead and say I was inspired from the song, "Transformation" from the Jekyll & Hyde musical. (And if anyone else out there has listened to it, you'll recognize the words as the final lyrics before Jekyll transforms into Hyde.) I thought those lyrics would be pretty appropriate for the situation. And they better be -- manipulating text in Photoshop has got to be one of the most painful experiences I've ever had the honor of attempting.

Comments: Blah...that's all I can say about this piece...I did it all of it in one day: pencil, ink, and photoshop..rush,rush,rush..wish I didnt though... I could have worked more on Rinoa's face and definitely put more detail into the feathers...oh and the background is just oh so plain... ohhhh well..

Comments: Irvine is still one of my fav. characters in FF8, perhaps it's his personality and the fact thats it's so amusing. Somebody who is so clueless, and tries too hard to impress people who will never notice him...is hillarious. I decided to stick him in some casual clothing (I'm going to do one for each of the characters) and on a rock in Yosemite someplace.

Comments: I drew this picture off of a complete impulse -- from a crappy sketch in my sketchbook to a pen outline to coloring it because I was BORED, to scanning it in and giving it a freaky background in Photoshop. I'd like to point out right now that to actually be in this pose would be REALLY hard. Notice how both of his arms are thrown forward. No -- it doesn't work that way. That would completely throw you off balance. Or, at the very least, trip you up or something. Oh well -- he's a ninja, he'll cope.

Comments: Idea for it: The back page of the FF8 booklet, plus I moved Rinoa closer to Squall, to symbolize their love a little more, and the rest of the drawing you can be the judge of.

Comments: I draw Rufas by photoshop and my brother use 3D Max Studio to creat a background.This is our 1st pics that we work together.^_^ Rufas is so cute!! But I rarely see his pics around the internet. (snif...) I don't understand why. I like his clothes ,hair and everything!

Comments: Here's a pencil drawing of Sephiroth I did during recover from the injury to my eye. It was essentially an excercise to see how badly off my sight was in one eye (I was legally blind in one eye for three weeks). But I liked this sketch, and did not change anything from the original. The medium is plain pencil, unmodified, except by finger smudging. ^_^

Comments: The first full color drawing of Squall that I've done for a while. The title comes from the name of a song in the game that I thought fit the picture. The lion in this picture posed a unique problem because I haven't had much experience at drawing animals but I think it turned out pretty decent...

Comments: Here is my first real attempt at drawing anime characters as more realistic people. It came out alright but Rinoa doesnt look very pretty. I htink squall looks OK though. I like his hair! Anyway. it was a difficult feat to accomplish and im kind of proud of myself. I'm sure when i see it in a few weeks I'll hate it though. Is't that alwasy the case though? Well, I did it in pencil, then scanned it and colored it in photoshop 5! Please give me any feed back! good or bad! Hope you enjoy!

Comments: Zell also has one of those personalities that'll either grow on you, or become something you want to avoid. It grew on me, such a friendly guy and not afraid to say whats on his mind. Perhaps I just know too many people like that. Once again it's the 'casual collection' with him standing out in the middle of nowhere. I enjoy seeing the characters out of their 'normal clothing' and in something different.

Comments: Being the ambitious little nut that I am, I'm going to do a whole season series in watercolor with the ff7 characters. And here's Tifa in autumn. The point of it all? I suck at watercolors and I want to get better! So this is good practice. I actually like how this piccie turned out, I think I got the quality of the light just right though I'm still too heavy handed with the paint (I wish I'd made her smiling too, she looks so serious). Vincent in Spring's gonna be better ^_^
