Mercenaries Art Thread

[Vanya]

Is that like a female version of Zalbag?

[MiKeMiTchi]

Ramza should be like this. He rocks.

[LastingDawn]

Not sure which Ramza they're trying to represent... as that is neither FFT's Ramza nor Mercenaries. Sure he looks "menacing"and has a scowl on his face but that's not really Ramza. It's a great picture, don't misunderstand, I just feel Ramza isn't very well portrayed in it.

[SilvasRuin]

Ramza heading into murond to take back his sister?  I dunno, I'd be pretty pissed at that point if I were him.

[LastingDawn]

Well if that were the case he would be in his fourth chapter gear, though of course this is only surmision on my part, I've seen pictures of Cadet Delita and Mercenary Ramza fighting, so... maybe just a slip of the... mind? Eh well.

[Vanya]

That looks like ch.2/3 Ramza to me. The only difference is that his armor seems darker than normal like in the PSP cut scenes.

[SilvasRuin]

Whoops.  No, that was a slipup on my part.  Maybe when he was going after Alma at Riovanes? Sure, he is an idealist, but I could see him with a look that could kill when it comes to someone threatening Alma.  Malak probably didn't garner very pleasant looks until his death and revival on the rooftop.

[LastingDawn]

Very good point, haha! I must have been a bit aggravated (at Dissidia... grr!!!) when I said that. I do happen to have that piece in my collection and it is one of my favorites. It is extremely nitty and gritty, and that is where its appeal comes from.

jimmyjw88, I direct you to this quote:

i see the heads are from the anime idolmaster which makes parody of a lot of games hahaha

So you mean the first picture is from anime? And second is female Zalbag? Wow....That's nice.

[winshmo]

final poses with gafgarion in it.. hope you like it  

[LastingDawn]

Very nice! You can tell that Gafgarion is always wary of his surroundings, so he turns his back only to peer over his shoulder to assure is ward and subordinate aren't doing anything foolish. The look in his eye is strict yet gentle all at once, hehe. If Gafgarion has a soft spot it would be for his own troupe.

That is Fantastic! Would you also consider doing the logo as well? The logo is planned to be very reminiscent of other games in the FF series,  silhouette of the three, in a similar way to this picture. (The original plan was to have Rad looking up in a tree, Ramza looking down at the root of the tree with Gafgarion's pose steadied looking straight)

[winshmo]

yeah thanks to mike's link I have an idea on what to make fore the logo

[beawulfx]

That's beautiful, really impressive. The only thing odd I notice is that it looks kinda like a hankerchief is sticking out of Gafgarions... rear end, but I'm guessing it is something that is in front of him, hanging down?

I love your style though, it's fantastic.

[mav]

HOLY SHIT. Though I agree with beawulf about Gafgarion's kerchief, I gotta say this image is fucking beeeeeeautiful. Very nice winshmo, very nice. I love how all three of 'em look like they're wrapped up in their own thoughts.

Look at Gafgarion! He looks so damn badass. This image is fucking brilliant.

[Archael]

very nice

[winshmo]

thanks.. beawulf-mav, yup its his loincloth from the front, gonna fix it with some shading XD

[MiKeMiTchi]

^ Hey, I'll try to do the logo, too.
Nice job, btw!!

EDIT: posted v2

[jimmyjw88]

WOW.....And I mean.....WOW!!!!!!!! HOLYSHIT...THIS IS AMAZING!!! FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!
Amazing work winshmo....Just AMAZING.

And Mike, that's looking awesome ^^
Great job. I think the first should be better due to Rad's hand placing on the tree.
The second one looks abit funny on Rad's hand as his hand position looks like hands up in the air but we know that his hand is on the tree. ^^
However, second would fit well in FFLogo as it is on the right, like all the other FFs.

[SilvasRuin]

No offense, but that looks horrible as is.  It also looks nothing like the traditional FF logos, the way LD has said he wants them to look.  It is a very nice image on its own, but plugging it into the game like that ruins both.

Would it be possible to get someone to do Amano-esque art for Mercs? By that I mean the watercolor-like feel.
