Comments: I felt like drawing an FFVIII group picture, and well...this is it. I didn't want to do just a usual grouping of the main characters, and decided to GAP-inize them. Their GAP outfits are influenced by their normal outfits, and are also real GAP clothes (I checked the web page and everything ^_^;). Also, in case you don't know, the pale chick with the long black hair's supposed to be Matron Edea. It's hard to really draw her to be instantly recognizable, since she's so plain, and Sorceress Edea was too fancy (with her thick makeup and all) to be GAP-ized. I did it in Photoshop with a Wacom Intuos Drawing tablet.

Comments: Bahamut, my favourite GF. ^_^ Done in watercolor, edited in PS5.

Comments: I did the outline here with the mouse in MSPaint (just regular MSPaint, thank you) and Rydia's clothing was done in Corel Photo Paint 8.0. The original pic was overlapped over a photograph ^_^

Comments: I tried to show their friendship and angst for the situations they're placed in. I drew it in mechanical pencil on typing paper, scanned it at 150 resolution, tweeked the contrast & brightness, then saved as a jpg. Simple enough. Of course there's a lot more to it...as usual in art.

Comments: For some odd reason, Ramsus was my favorite character in the game, and I hadn't done any fanart of him, nor had I done any real pictures of Miang. I really like this piece because of the expression on Miang's face; for once I mangaged to make her look like she wasn't staring into La-La land ^^;;;, and I hope I pulled off that she looks like she's regretting the way she treats Ramsus.

Comments: Krelian was hands down my favourite character from the game, I love how he went from holy man to heartless murderer all in the name of unrequited love. I prefer the older Krelian in his priestish outfit with the blue hair but I hadn't tried drawing the Solaris version so uh, that's what this pic's about. Drawn, scanned, then colored in Photoshop 5.0

Comments: This was a piece of a character design sketch I made on drafting paper. I really liked the pose and her expression, so I colored it on Paintshop Pro. I was a bit lost for the background, so I just experimented a bit, and ended up with something I was rather pleased with, since I was looking for a bit of a 'simple, yet magical' feeling...

Comments: I love doing action pics, and I noticed that Bart didn't seem to have any despite his rather cool deathblows in the game. So here's him doing one, and as always, with a roguish grin on his face.

Comments: Tifa takes off her boots and kicks back. Hmmm, I had fun with foreshortening. Ever since I starting going to an art college, I've noticed myself paying more attention to certain things, like form and cast shadows, and foreshortening. I've always loved Tifa, and I wanted to try a more difficult pose, so here it is! Not my best work, but cute. Hope everyone enjoys!

Comments: I originally made this for a character in an online game, but afterward I realized it looks a lot like Gaza from Legend of Legaia. Gaza stood out to me in that game as a very unique character, I was interested in his small part of the story as soon as I first saw him. I made the image in Bryce 3d, and I'm pleased with the way it came out. The "aura" coming from him is supposed to represent the casting of a spell.

Comments: This is a pic of Miang from Xenogears. I really like the way the hair came out, but I'm still not quite satisfied with the top...looks too stiff =P. Ummm, I stripped off a lot of her uniform 'cause I feel that drawing skin is so much more fun than drawing clothes =) ! Actually, I'm really proud of the hand, too. It took a lot of work to keep it from looking like a bunch of pink grapes! I got the idea for this from a pic in a magazine that reminded me of Miang. I'm not too sure if the anime/realistic combination in here really looks okay, though. Hmmm....please email me and tell me what you think!

Comments: Squall found his Prozac! ^_^

Comments: When FF8 came out in the US, I refused to join the hype of FF8 fanart. Then I saw Hydrachild's Squall and Cypher "Truck Driver" picture, and I got inspired. (Hey, inspiration comes from the strangest places.) And think about it: If you got a cut on your forehead deep enough to scar, it's gonna hurt. The coloring was done with markers (which are kinda cheesy, 'cause I've only been using them for a few months).

Comments: I always envision Selphie as upbeat and cheerful, and sunflowers just seem to be "her." Please forgive the strangely fuzzy/milky scan. My computer abruptly died on me, taking with it my banners and the ability to scan. I had to use someone else's scanner instead and surprisingly, this is as sharp as it could scan without losing major components. Boo.
