>> Black Mage..

[black orb]

>>> FF1 Black Mage, I wanted to portray an old concept of a BM I used draw long time ago, in this one his mask is shattered..

Black ink and photoshop..

[NeoCracker]

That is awesome in every way.

[Rocket Edge]

The pose is terrific. I really like this one. I seem to like the one's you do in black & white better for some reason.

[Zeromus_X]

That is so awesome, black orb.

[Momiji]

Amazing in every way possible.

[black orb]

>>> Thanks, BTW someone remember my old black mage drawings?..
Its kind of funny because some people still telling me how much they liked my black mage drawings..

[rubah]

That's heavy. I like it

[nik0tine]

Of all the artwork that you have produced this very well may be my favorite.

[Cruise Control]

The watch, and the celtic runes are very nice touches, which serve only to accentuate your greatness.

[XxSephirothxX]

Beautiful. I love the shading and all the little touches: the breaking pieces of the mask, the pentagram, the collar. Sometimes black and white can be so much more striking than a color image.

I'd really love to see what you could do with a stylized version of Black Waltz #3 from IX. ;)

[Rase]

Simply amazing. That's all I can think to say.

[Black Mage]

That's really good, Black Orb. I especially love the detail on the cloak. I do, indeed, recall most of your old art. Especially your Black Mage. I've always thought the mask was a nice touch, and I still share that sentiment.

Which reminds me, will your old site ever return? I used to love to look through all of your pieces, way back when.

>>> So you remember..
My old website is no more, the server and domain was not mine it was just borrowed so everything was gone one day..
Im planning on making a new one for a comic thing but I dont know when its gonna happen..
If I find some of the old BM pictures in my computer I gonna post them here..

>>> Thanks again for all the comments..

[I Don't Need A Name]

Black Orb, that is godly (as always) and i think Azars subtle idea is a very good one *hint hint* :D

[Moon Rabbits]

Of all the artwork that you have produced this very well may be is my favorite for sure.

[Shine On...]

Just pure crap*











*Crap in this instance may mean: YOU ARE FREAKIN' AMAZING!

[LauraD]

I love the texture of him, the crosshatching really adds to the piece. great work!

[Ashley Schovitz]

Good peice of work I like the drawing it is eccentric and has a paranormal look to it.

[fire_of_avalon]

I agree with Ashley about the paranormal look. It's something I couldn't put my finger on before she said it.

I love everything you do, which you probably already know. I love the juxtaposition of the expressive mask and the blank Black Mage face. It's creepy.

Also, I'm very impressed with the level of detail you've been able to accomplish using ink. From what I'm told, it's a much harder medium to perform small detail work with. Great work!

[Roto13]

Wow, fantastic. Very good job.

[Ultima Shadow]

A real masterpiece.

Probably one of the coolest looking artworks you've done so far. :cool:

[black orb]

i think Azars subtle idea is a very good one *hint hint* :D
>>> Yeah, thats a good idea..

I still have backups of all the art you sent me over the years to post on my FF1 site. I lost it from my site when I changed hosts to EoFF, but if you allow me I'll re-add it all. I just temporarily re-uploaded it to here:

Those pictures of black orb's can be found at http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/fanart/ff1/ (this site).

[Rocket Edge]

Wow, the colour one is much better!

[Slade]

Dude, the colour one is awesome. Probably my new favourite of all your drawings.

[black orb]

>>> Glad you liked it, choose the right colors and paint this was rather difficult but I guess I succeeded..

[ThundagAuron]

Holy F. Seriously, that's insane. I love the watch, it's actually the first thing I looked at. :eek:

[Reles]

*praises*

['Gilgamesh']

Wow, Those are amazing. Excellent work!

[Agrias]

your art is mesmerizing me telling me to give you all my money! D:

[arcanedude34]

You can't give him all your money cuz I already gave it to him! This is easily my favorite drawing ever.



EVER.

But unfortunately, it looks messed up when I stretch it for my desktop background, and even worse centered.

[black orb]

>>> Then you should ask someone to make a desktop wallpaper with the picture, or something..

[arcanedude34]

Nah. I already got a nice background. But really, sick drawing. You rock my world.

[Garnie]

my god that is sooo scary but a good scarey. damn your soooo good

[Firo Volondé]

I feel honoured to be your name...

[NeoCracker]

I have it as my backround already. I just don't stretch it and it looks fine.

[black orb]

>>> The next one is Fighter, I think im following the same pattern than before..
I used black ink for this one too..

[NeoCracker]

The runes on his wrist piece and shoulders rock. In addition I'm quite fond of the blade design. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing it colored.

[4evarisha]

Wow youre good!

[NaroK]

this stuff is insane :love: keep it up!

[black orb]

>>> I finally got some time to finish this one..
Painted in photoshop.

[Rocket Edge]

It's lovely, expecially the sky. :up:

['eMeRaLdFaYe']

Wow... you're soo cool... I really like your works... ^^ It's so amazing!! I love it! :D:D

[Sefie1999AD]

The black-and-white version of the Black Mage is great. The mask looks good, and the character reminds me of a scarecrow or something. :) The lack of colors also makes the picture more fascinating. While the color version is also well done, it loses some of the charm the black-and-white version had. The Fighter looks good too. The sky and the dragon in the background are well done there.

[The black mage]

..........
(^spechless)

Amazing. THe black mage looks cool and so does the fighter. Keep up the good work

[Garnie]

i think m also in love with you! jeezzzz i really love a artist that puts his heart and soul into somthing and creates an amazing detail peice that anyone can apprechiate!

you gotta teach me your method!
amazing work dude!

[black orb]

>>> Thank you.

BTW, learn how to use photoshop and get a tablet, is the easier way to paint your drawings.
