Well, I forgot to schedule this week’s posts until Wednesday so Tuesday’s comic went up late, but this Flashback will come out on time by gum!

Amarant is a mercenary monk. He is an honorable fighter if a little naive. I don’t really remember much about him really.

The Big Bear, Barnaby is here to play Amarant. Doesn’t he look all serious and broody? This is a very unusual pose for me to draw, but since I wanted to do the FFIX cast as they appear in their most iconic promo pictures, I gave it another shot. It’s not too bad all things considered. It won’t become a regular thing though.

Here’s a comparison to the original. I hid Barnaby’s ears in all the dreadlocks this time around. The legs are the biggest improvement this time around I’d say.

That’s all for this week. More new stuff is coming next week! See you on Tuesday for some comics!

Friday is a special day. It’s even more special when there’s a flashback involved. So let’s enjoy this even more special day!

Quina is a blue mage gourmand cook. Their gender is never clear in the game. It’s not really important either. They’re Quina and they love to eat frogs. Quina is one of my favorite cards in the Final Fantasy TCG. Lots of fun.

Popkin is back as Quina. This one was pretty simple to draw with one or two little exceptions. I’m not sure how I feel about the colouring job I did. It’s not quite what I wanted. I really like how the tongue turned out though. That’s really weird to say huh?

Here’s a comparison to the original. I kinda like the colouring of the original better. At least the jacket. The new piece is much more polished of course.

That’s all for this week. Right now it’s time for my evening walk. We’ll have more fun next week! See you then!

Hello! Today was my first Friday working since June. I hate the end of vacation time. I think the best way to get over it is with a flashback, even if it’s late!

Freya is a Burmecian dragoon. What is a Burmecian you may ask? Well, it’s dragonfolk. So Freya is a dragon dragoon. Fun huh? I liked having her on my team as I felt her attacks were strong. I’ll be honest though, back when I first played Final Fantasy IX, I thought Freya was some kind of bird-rat thing.

Deema is a lizard and dragons are lizards so Deema gets to play Freya. I’m happy with how this one turned out, even the colouring. It’s one of the better pieces so far.

Here’s a comparison to the original piece. I didn’t cheat as much for Deema back then…except for her feet. Other than the shaky lines, this one was good. She gets to wear a wig this time!

That’s all for this week. Next week we get to do this again! Be sure to come back and see what’s new!

TGIFF people! Thank Goodness it’s Flashback Friday! I’m going to get right to it.

Eiko is a white mage summoner. When she is first introduced, she’s referred to as Little Girl. She lives alone with moogles. She considers Garnet her rival as she is in love with Zidane.

Here is Zoë as Eiko. It’s an interesting costume design. It turned out pretty well. The shading isn’t quite where I want it to be, but it’s what I could do.

Here’s the comparison to the original piece. Boy did I give her a long tail the first time. I’m reining it in now because it makes pictures less wide.

That’s all for this week! Have a good weekend folks! More to come next week!

Heigh-ho! HEIGH-HO! Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It’s to flashbacks we go. I discovered a new game called Storybrook Brawl and it reminds me of gToons which is a game I greatly enjoyed on the Cartoon Network website. In it, there’s a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs-inspired combo that I find pretty strong when I can set it up early enough. So yeah, I’ve got dwarfs on the brain. Anyway, on to the flashback.

Vivi is a Black Mage. In the beginning he lacks confidence and questions his existence. He has a great story arc and he’s one of my favorite characters in the game.

Here’s Cyran as Vivi. I am really happy with how this one turned out. The hat especially.

Here’s a comparison to the original. Oh yeah! The original was one of the weaker pieces of the set and this one builds on it in every way possible. It’s much clearer that it’s Cyran in there too.

That’s all for this week. Come back next week for some more Fantastical Finales. Tally-ho!
