Perhaps it's the excitement over the impending release of FF8, but there's an awful lot of FF artwork in today's update. FF8 itself makes a strong showing with five pics; CHILD's ethereal "Power of the Mind", Exdeath's distinguished "Edea", Evil Tiger's cute "Selphie", and two very sweet Rinoa pictures from Edison Yan and Liquid L.

   On the slightly older end of the FF series, Rinoa Z gives us a picture revealing the true nature of FF6's Terra. Two pictures of FF7's Vincent Valentine appear today, but both are quite differently drawn -- Wulfmune brings out the tragic beauty of his character, while Hendrick Sukardi's "Man of the Past" draws more on the darkness of his story. The Captain's "The Road to Nibel" is an action-packed look at a battle which took place five years before the story began...

   Cloud seems to be a very popular subject these days, appearing in several pictures. Andreas Rödig's "Portrait of Cloud" is the only one in which he appears alone, however. Evil Tiger's "Hugz" features Tifa with her favorite doll, very very cute, and Wei's poster of Cloud and BFM's Musashi is just plain awesome.

   And finally, the last group of artwork; Wulfmune gives us a cute snapshot of Luna and Alex in a cheerful moment, and Becky has two pictures -- "Ken's Date", from Puzzle Fighter, and a Parasite Eve pic that would make a darned good movie poster if such a thing ever actually does get made.

   And if there are errors here, I'll catch them in the morning, cause I'm about to crash...
