Since I've been away from a PC for almost twenty-four hours now, I assume that most of you have already seen all this. I know a lot of you have seen the new avatars, as I myself and several of you have already taken advantage of them.

Thanks to Teta, we now have a new large gallery of stylized FFT portrait avatars - as stated, my current Ramza comes directly from them. Thanks a lot, Teta, for making them for us! Additionally, I decided to add just a couple more FF6 avatars from the PSX port, mostly of Squall being abused and Onion Kid looking chubby and goofy.

And, thanks to our new fanart team (this time, it was Mimic and Kappa the Imp), we've got a big chunk of new fanart too. This update features art from Kame, Galsic, Rujuken, Ronin, Bum's Rush, BratKitty, Silverfork, and Perigryn, and it includes some new stuff from every single game we cover! Thanks a lot to all for the submissions and work.

Sure is, same here changed my avatar but that already a day or two ago smile.gif

Thanks Teta!

By the was, there are LOTS it was a little hard to find what to take, sadly there wasn't Zodiac in them, " no one ever seen it's face/portrait" isn't a reason nahh tongue.gif

I hope for the impossible...

Tough I found the Black & white avatar of Ramza was looking better "on" you R51.

Teta, you're my new favorite person. You've even gotten me to change my avatar. I think this is the first time I've changed mine.

Yeah, Teta, these avatars are pretty grand. Much obliged for the change in pace. Maybe all the FFT'rs can get a Zodiac Brave thing going on with their avatars? biggrin.gif

Just to commemorate this, I've changed my avatar to the portrait of some good-looking female among the given set. (I'd expect it to change back soon, but I might be lazy about it. (For reference, I've never played FFT.)

On the other hand, Teta's self-portrait (on the user page) looks unusually similar to the avatar.

However, FFT characters still lack noticeable noses.

Yep, them's are pretty nifty avatars thumbup.gif , but I've already warmed up to the nu, so I won't be adding to the FFT avatar flood anytime soon (perhaps later, eyeing that Gafgarion, that I am, heh).

And kudos to the new fanart update! I'm proud to have me own art (however amateurish it is) as part of the site smile.gif .

They are very nice avatars. I change my avatar pretty often and when I change again I may utilize Agrias or one of the Zodiac brave demons. Why no Ramza or Pisces?

That's because I use Ramza, and therefore nobody else is going to. I'm territorial like that.

Not all of the stones are available at all times in the game. I can't remember if Pisces has an entry in the Zodiac Brave collection that you can actively view. I'm sure that if it does, Teta would be happy to make the avatar sometime.

Edit
I also just got a new Terra piece in the fanart gallery, from Lucas Cersaine. Forgot to slot that one in before. smile.gif

I had realized I was missing those when I was doing them. I could not find a site that had them, but I have found some and made them into avatars. I threw in the summons also.

Yeah, Josh peed on Ramza like some sort of cat. You don't want that avatar; it's totally musked.



Congrats to all parties on all fronts. I dig the fan art and even have that Black Mage looking badass as my desktop background. Way to go Teta. Everyone seems to dig the new avatars since 90% of the caves seems to be using them biggrin.gif

I'll stick with my wizzie though wink.gif

My BM made desktopdom? Sweetness!

But indeed, a nice montage of fanart indeed - I had myself a good gander. And as I remarked before and shall sa again, them's some spiffy avatars. I just enjoy the soft tones of them. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I love these pictures, and I'm glad that the staff decided to add the avatars. They're so beautifully done that I almost want to pick one even though I hate Tactics. tongue.gif
