[Agent Proto]

Hello there! Welcome to a new week of amazing fan art to be shared with our friends here. Square Enix is amongst one of the best video game companies and to be one of the best, they need a large fanbase. Within the fanbase, there are a legion of fan artists, and this week we'll be sharing just a few of what these fan artists have. Sit back, relax, and enjoy what we have in this week's showcase. Be sure to visit the sources and send the artists any compliments or comments you may have for them. Thanks!

Tifa Lockhart: Evanascense

Here's a rather gorgeous artwork of the lovely Miss Tifa Lockhart.

The Don's Choices

Remember way back when we featured a fan art featuring lady Cloud being picked by Don Corneo? Well, it's pretty much like that, but not really. We have the three fine choices for the Don to pick! Aerith, Tifa, and "Cloudette". One certainly doesn't look very happy to be there.

Lightning!

Whoa, I really like this artwork of Lightning that was based off of Amano's logo of Final Fantasy XIII-2. Very cool!

Zell

Looks like Zell has been laying off the hotdogs and working on his martial arts. Just look at that body. :O

CoDxKuja

Before you ask, CoD doesn't stand for Call of Duty, as that would be pretty weird. Well, not really, since that would mean Kuja would probably be playing that game if it were. However it is not, and it's Kuja paired with the Cloud of Darkness from Final Fantasy III. A weird pairing, in my opinion.

[Pete for President]

That is one mighty Tifa portrait. Awesomely detailed.

[Jinx]

Omg, that Tifa picture. Wow.

The Corneo's Mansion picture is cute. :3

[Raistlin]

That first Tifa one is very impressive. And Cloud's expression in the Don's Choices pic is just great.

[Pumpkin]

The Tifa picture is excellent.

[LadyJuxtaposition]

I cannot stop looking at Kuja's face when he is paired with CoD; it's so priceless! :D Hmm, strange shipping? Maybe...

The first Tifa picture is highly outstanding, and the second Don's Choices is adorable and funny too! :)

[Formalhaut]

That Tifa image is the best artwork I have seen in these showcases. Seriously. Epic.

Although, humour points go to the Don Corneo and the 'three girls' picture. That made me chuckle.

But that Tifa image. Seriously. I can't stop looking at it.

[Rocket Edge]

This weeks montage is fucking excellent. WOW

[Aulayna]

These are all fantastic this week!

[noxious.sunshine]

Yeah. The Tifa pic. omg. that's incredible

[Spooniest]

Don't you think it's kind of tawdry?

Or put it this way: would you pose for a painting that way, in that costume, and then put it on display for everyone to see?

It's awfully convenient that Tifa isn't a real person who can be shamed by the public exhibition of her secondary sex characteristics all over the God damn universe.

[Agent Proto]

Tasteless? Are you calling that artwork tasteless? I don't really see anything wrong with the way the picture's been done. I don't think it's shaming her at all

[Formalhaut]

Yeah, I'm struggling to see where that Spoony Bard is coming from.

She looks damn dignified in that pose. In a week where Lightning's Miqo'te outfit and pose got lambasted, that photo is showing how it should be done.

I think I'm in love...

I don't really think your example works in this situation. If Cloud was drawn positioned like this, I wouldn't think anything of it. It's just a person lying on their side.

[Spooniest]

Fair enough, but she is removing her suspenders. And I've never seen exocrine glands like that on any woman. Ever.

Her depiction in Advent Children (as flawed as the film is) is much more tasteful.

[Jinx]

I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

I don't see her removing her suspenders, but absentmindedly playing with them, as she stares off into space.

Also, I think her breasts just look like normal sized breasts to me, and while she has some cleavage (like any woman who has breasts), it's really not over-sexualized in this picture. It just looks like how any woman would look while wearing a tank top.

EDIT: Denmark: "That's actually a pretty meta post. Tifa's Boobs talking about Tifa's boobs."

[Loony BoB]

On a sidenote, I find it amusing that Cloud and Lightning, often touted as so similar in personality, have exactly the same pose. ;)

[Spooniest]

Call me old-fashioned. I just don't think it's very dignified.

On the other hand, I will agree with everyone in that the painting itself is spectacular technique, and fully stands up against anything in the history of painting.

I suppose a great deal of it is simply that I haven't been laid in forever.

I was sort of fearing the worst with the Spoony Bard's side note and that was just sooo anti-climactic.

[Spooniest]

Didn't I just say how old-fashioned I am? ;)

I was half-expecting you to re-enact Tifa's pose in that stunning artwork just so you could show how you could pick it apart from your angle. :p

If you've been reading my posts, you'd know that my insanity mostly centers around comically overblown rage. By contrast, when it comes to sex, I'm kind of boring and ashamed.

But back on topic, I think Cloud's facial expression is a tad too cartoonish...it kind of bounces me out of the picture. It'd be funnier if his expression were more believable...nitpick, I guess.

[NeoCracker]

Kuja gonna get raped. O_O

[Agent Proto]

I'm surprised to see this showcase get so much attention. :O
