Sketch Artist

   Yes, it's another exciting 2:30 AM update. As promised, here's the second part of the weekend update, which uses up most of the submissions I had stored away; don't expect another update until the end of the week.

   First of all, apologies to Otaku for briefly mislinking his piece ("Nina Saga") last update; although I corrected the error as soon it was caught, I'm re-running it to make sure everyone gets a chance to see it.

   As for new pieces, nine grace this update -- not to mention two new artists! Minmei contributes "Edgar", while Tenten offers a rare piece of non-RPG fan art -- "Heat", from Bust-a-Move 2 / Bust-a-Groove 2 (the dancing game, not the one with dinosaurs popping bubbles).

   Sketch Artist regulars make a big splash as well; Petra Rödig contributes two more Red XIII-themed submissions -- one, "Playing Cubs", of Red's cubs at play, and the other, an untitled animated GIF of Red himself roaring. Laura returns with another Xenogears piece, "Bartholomew Fatima", her first of the character. Bart is joined in the Xenogears arena by Elly, who appears in Dan's "Elly in the Light."

   Fans of less high-profile titles can check out Kouryuu's "Reminiscence" (Ys V) and Sakana's "Kelvin" (SaGa Frontier 2 -- no, it's not the GIA agent!); both accurately illustrate some smaller-name but equally interesting characters. And although Final Fantasy VII is far from an obscure title, you don't see too much of AVALANCHE's original members; Rurouni KJS illustrates the trio of Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie in "AVALANCHE."

   Having rambled on for numerous paragraphs, I'll shut up so you can enjoy today's plethora of art. Just don't forget to vote for Battle With Gilgamesh!
