Eyes on Final Fantasy has been fortunate enough to play host to a number of great artist. These are the ones who have shown themselves to be extremely adept at creating masterpieces that show both an understanding of the finer details of art, as well as the ability to seamlessly blend different aspects together to create a memorable and unique image.

The first is a well known artist on EoFF who has shown his skill many times over. black orb has steadily produce great pieces and shared them with us here, most recently Fenix. He is also quite well known for his RPG request thread, which is currently in hiatus. An oldbie from way back in 2000, he will hopefully continue to produce more artwork, especially with his new Graphire Tablet.

Next, we have KoShiatar. Formerly known as Werecanary, she just joined this year, and soon began to show us her artwork. She has already shown a great eye detail, with her most recent work in the Artist Gallery being The Summoner of Bahamut. You can find more of her artwork on her Deviant Art page.

Our next nominee is someone who has also been here for almost three years now. Rye has done a variety of forms of art, from photographs to drawings to vector art. One of her latest pieces is a collection of photographs entitled Bubbles and Plants~. She will hopefully continue to take her camera with her and show us more of what she can do.

Sweden must have some great art schools, because that’s where our next artists hails from. Shimeng has been with us for not even four months, yet she has shown us that great artists come everywhere. Her pencil artwork is excellent, and her latest piece, Portrait/really early Christmas gift, is a portrait of our next nominee.

themagicroundabout has been with us since about the beginning of this last summer, and, like most here, soon began to post her artwork. She has recently began to do portraits, giving some members a personalized picture of themselves in her EoFF Portraits thread, which has seen a good amount of success. Dealing in Paint (the program, not medium) and pencil, she will hopefully show us some more works soon.

All of the aforementioned artist have excellent skills in their fields. Without them, Eyes on FF would almost certainly be missing a key component that makes it so unique. However, unfortunately, only one of these skilled artists can hold the Ciddie for the Best Artist of EoFF.

And so, without any more waiting, the artist that you have chosen as the Best Artists of the Winter 2005 Ciddies is…
