Unconventional heroes colored

Starting off this week is the nice artwork of some of the cast of Square's finest game before venturing into the third dimension, Final Fantasy VI. It's quite an amazing piece of work as we can see the artist's interpretation of the characters at play.

Kefka: Fly My Pretties

What if Zorn and Thorn from Final Fantasy IX were related to Kefka of Final Fantasy VI? Pure insanity ensues, that is for sure.

It's the second week of our Final Fantasy Fan Art Showcase of the Week, and we have several new artworks to show off to our wonderful viewers. If you were impressed with the first week's artworks, then I am positive you will just be just as impressed with what I have in this week's showcase. You may in fact, see a familiar style of art from our very own black orb, as one of his own artwork has been chosen! It's always a pleasure when our very own members can contribute art, and we hope that we will see more from our members. However, let's take a look at our wonderful Showcase we have prepared for this week.

Ever wondered what it takes to make a fabulous masterpiece? Well wonder no more, for we have a surprise for you! Square Enix has recently released a video featuring art director Isamu Kamikokuryo with an oil painting he created for the upcoming Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII. Within the video, we will see a short clip of Kamikokuryo preparing his studio and then working on his painting. Finally at the end, we'll have a glimpse of his finished work. It's well worth the watch if you appreciate the fine artwork of Final Fantasy!

The dynamic duo of Biggs and Wedge. Everyone has heard of them from the great mind of George Lucas in the original Star Wars film, and the pair has since made small appearances or cameos in the Final Fantasy series. There will be several installments of their great misadventures throughout Final Fantasy. Their first such appearance was in Final Fantasy VI, even though Biggs was originally mistranslated into Vicks.

What were they doing then? Why, they were in the opening scenes of the game, of course! They were assisting the lead character, Terra Branford, in a raid on the town of Narshe as soldiers of the Gestahlian Empire. They were sent there to carry out the investigation of a frozen Esper discovered by local miners. With Terra coming along, it was assumed that the rumors of the Esper was being taken seriously, and who wouldn't want to come unprepared?

However, the Narshe Mines were being well protected by Narshe's guards. Biggs and Wedge, while being led by Terra, fought through the guards with quite ease to reach the new ...

Final Fantasy Fan Art Showcase of the Week #1

Hello everyone! Agent Proto here, and I'm here to bring a new feature to Eyes on Final Fantasy. Having been a member of this site, I am pretty disappointed in seeing a severe lack of fan created works of art on this site in the more recent years, so I have decided to take it upon myself to find and display several great pieces of fan art for everyone to enjoy. As so, I do hope that you take the time to check out each artwork in this showcase and do feel free to send a comment to the artists at the linked source. I'm sure they will appreciate what you have to say about their work.

Since this would be the first of hopefully many more, I will provide a small batch of five fanart made within this last week. Such a small amount of art, but this is just the start of a wonderful thing, which I hope that you will enjoy. I may provide my own commentary or description of each, but who knows? Commence the artwork!
