The dynamic duo of Wulfmune and Hydrachild from Jiro-Chan *Start Here* strikes again, this time offering their respective takes on characters from Breath of Fire III and Master of Monsters. Check out the original and fairly elaborate border that adorns Hydrachild's "ShadowMaster."

   The other two pieces are alike in that they're evolutions of similar, earlier pictures by the artists. The depiction of Squall in the predecessor of Zach Stroum's "Squall Poem," seen here, lacks the facial emotion and solid, imposing figure of that of the follow-up. Petra Rödig's "A Jump Into Freedom" is a variation on the scene she painted in "Link On Horseback" (November 29th gallery). The newer version boasts a colored, adult Link and a wider perspective for a more complete view of the scene.

   Happy Holidays, all. Enjoy these pieces and take it easy!
