We start off this week with the President of ShinRa, Rufus. He's looking quite smug in this artwork, just like a boss.

Don Corneo Mansion

Here's a humorous picture of that time Don Corneo picked Cloud in that one scene. The outcome is quite hilarious, and apparently it does not sit well with Cloud.

Happy New Year's to you, Eyes on Final Fantasy! Welcome to 2013, and time for a new showcase to enjoy! The last year have introduced us with these weekly showcases featuring some wonderful fan art by some amazing artists. We've also had a special showcase featuring artwork made for our Final Fantasy Anniversary Ciddies, and some of the artists that were featured in past showcases have even joined us in our forums! What a great year it was, and hopefully this new year will be more of the same! 2013 will be a good one, for sure! Enough of that, it's time to check out the first showcase of the year! Let's see what we have for us to enjoy!

A rather nice artwork featuring three of Final Fantasy's finest heroes! We have Squall from FF VIII, Cloud from FF VII, and finally Noctis from FF Versus XIII. They all look badass in this.

Hello! During the weekend, we've just gone through our Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ciddies ceremony on the forums, and throughout the event, we've had quite the number of fan arts created solely for the event! Loony BoB was gracious enough to collect the art for the Ciddies and through BoB, we managed to have a dozen selected for this week's Final Fantasy Ciddies Fan Art Showcase special! I've also managed to gather our Award mascots to give their unique comments for several of their favorite pieces. Who knows what crazy thing they may say!

Before we see our special showcase, allow me to introduce our Award mascots. ...

Another exciting week of fan arts await us in this week's showcase. It's something amazing when artists don't mind sharing their artwork with us, and I hope that you share the love with them by visiting the sources to send them any compliments or critiques you may have for their artworks. It takes love and dedication to put out a new piece of art for the Final Fantasy fandom. We truly have some amazing artists, and I do hope we get to see more in the future. And with that, let's see what this week has in store for us!
...

Getting back into the thick of things can be hard to do. Having to readjust to the old schedule, and then sticking to it. That's the problem with having a week break, and hopefully we won't encounter another break. However, another holiday is fast approaching, so it may be time to prepare for another week break to celebrate. Til then, we have fanart to be enjoyed, and this week is no exception! So if you enjoyed a piece that was in the showcase, please send the artists your compliments by visiting the sources. Thanks for showing your support!
...

Hello again! Have you guys enjoyed your holiday break last week? We hope so! We also hope you haven't missed us either, as the showcase was absent last week due to the holiday. We're back in business this week! We have some great artwork to share with you lovely folks, so sit down and enjoy your god damn tea while we view some amazing artwork in this week's showcase. Please visit each source if you want to compliment the artists, as always. They deserve the credit for each art displayed.

It's already been eleven weeks of Final Fantasy Fan Arts? Wow, time sure does fly when we're having fun. I am most certainly enjoying holding this showcase for members of our great community to view great fan art, whether the art is from members of our forums, or not. So let's take a look at what we have to offer for this week. Remember to visit the sources to send any compliments to the artists.
...

Hello again! It's week 10 of the fan art showcase, and we have a rather large collection of fanart to share! There have been some great art over the last week; I wish I could have them all in this week's showcase. Unfortunately, the showcase is only big enough for a good handful.

So here, take a look at some of the amazing work collected over the past week! If there is something that catches your eye, please send the artist a nice message or two. Make sure you visit the sources to send any compliments! Because of the large showcase, this week will not provide any commentaries from myself. However, take the time to comment and tell us which entries you enjoyed this week!
...

Greetings travellers. Another month has passed us as the year moves on. We are now into our ninth showcase and we have a treat for you! So come on in, sit down, have yourselves a snack or drink, and enjoy the great fan arts in this week's showcase. Hope you will have a blast!
