>> FF4 fanart, (may contain spoilers)..

[black orb]

>>> In the last 3 months I have been working on various FF4 drawings, I ended with 14 different drawings and like 22 different images im posting here. The good news is that all of them are colored (in photoshop), the bad news (for me) is that the tip of my Wacom pencil is about to disappear due to overuse.
To be honest FF4 is not one of my personal favorites but the characters are interesting enough to make some nice fanart, now I know I missed some inportant characters but I think there are some NPCs, enemies, and others who doesnt even appear that also deserve a spot in the gallery and probably no one will ever make fanart of them. So if you fav character didnt make it here dont get mad.
If you see some black and white drawings there, those are some of the original inked drawings that happened to be decent enough to be posted here too, I also arranged them a bit in photoshop.
I`ll leave a comment or two with each drawing, now enjoy.

1- >>> Yang attack weakpoint for massive damage..
Is not very noticeable but I missed the ahriman`s legs, and im not going to fix it.

2- >>> Dark Knight Cecil holding that black sword that he gets from King Fabul..
Besides the dark blue color I didnt want to take many references for this, so i made some changes in the armor and stuff.

3- >>> Kain..
Maybe I did some minor changes there, all i got was the FF4 SNES sprite..

4- >>> Kain and Cecil, black ink.

5- >>> Rosa and her white magic to the rescue.
This girl likes to be barely naked instead of using the proper WM robes.
My main reference for this were the SNES sprites.

6- >>> Golbez..
Well this is most like Golbez back..


7- >>> Golbez again..
Golbez with the crystals, he wanted them so badly that I made this drawing to make him happy.

8,9- >>> Paladin Cecil holding "Legend".
Well this in not the Amano version. My main reference for this were the SNES sprites, that explains the purple hair and the golden armor.

10,11- >>> KluYa the Lunarian.
Probably you are thinking something like "WTF is this?!", well this mysterious guy was only mentioned in the game, I searched for KluYa`s pics to see how it looked like but I got nothing. So why not make my very own version of him.

12- >>> Father and sons.
"One born of a dragon bearing darkness and light,
shall rise to the heavens over the still land.
Bathing the Moon in eternal light, he brings a
promise to mother Earth with bounty and grace.
But someday the Moon shall depart, seeking its own
light. The sons of Moon and Earth shall then
part, divided by the flow of time."
>>> This is a text that appeared in the FF4 ending (atleast in the PSX version). I liked that text so I did something with it. (ill post better quality version of this in the fanart gallery)

13,14- >>> Luca (cute NPC)..
The underworld is a scary place, pitch black sky, oceans of magma, etc. and from that place I really like this cute and funny 16 bit sprite called Luca.

AAARGH WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME I MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP RIGHT NOW

SERIOUSLY. DUDE. Amazing stuff, I love the father & sons thing especially.

[black orb]

15- >>> Luca and her creepy-ass dolls.

16- >>> Tellah..
Ultimate attack!!

>>> The Magus Sisters.
Make fanart of the Magus sisters was kind of troublesome, short one, fat one and other who seems to have anorexia. All of them different but they still have something in common. In FFX they turned them into insects, I also had the FF4 sprites, those were ok but I wanted to make something different so I turned them into some kind of demon girls.. or something.

17,18- >>> Mindy..
Likes to play soccer with Zombie heads.

[black orb]

19,20- >>> Cindy..
Must be hiding sweets in that bag.

21- >>> Sandy..
Peace and love brother.

22- >>> Magus Sisters..
Delta attack?.

>>> Well this is all, I hope you like it..

[Momiji]

They're all excellent, but I like the Luca ones best!

[rubah]

wow, you've been busy! I really love the second luca one, soooooo creepy

[black orb]

wow, you've been busy!

>>> Yeah, I wasnt planning to do this much at the beginning but you know, its easy to get carried away with this stuff. :P

[Rocket Edge]

Yeah, busy! Jesus Blacky these are great! Colours are perfect. Hope to see even more.

*looks at Father and sons one* AAH! What is it with FF freaks and One-Wingaling Angels!? Sephroth didn't even have one wing in the original game, he had like seven iirc. Then KH Sephiroth has one wing, then AC Sephiroth, then Angeal, then Genesis, now everyone and their Grandma has one wing!

And btw, you continue to blow my mind Black Orb. I like the Luca ones, very creepy. : P

[I Don't Need A Name]

He should have been named "One arm'd no leg's angel".

[black orb]

Yeah, busy! Jesus Blacky these are great! Colours are perfect. Hope to see even more.

>>> Thanks, I also hope to see some new drawings from you.

Artist Forums should be renamed to black orbs Homeland!.

>>> Its kind of sad but everyone seems to be migrating to Deviantart these days, because of this the Art forums and Fanart sections of most of the RPGs and FF communities out there are in decadence, pretty much dead and probably bound to disappear in the near future.
I have the feeling that this place is walking the same path, the art forums here sure are more lively compared to other ff sites now but nothing like it used to be some years ago. Well, times change and i doubt we can do something about it.
So please bear with me, Im just an old nostalgic guy that will remain posting here not going anywhere.
