@yuna Nice work! Is that supposed to be you?

I'm consistently impressed at your ability to draw with a mouse.

Quick game fix ( and happy 2015 )!

I'd love to see more custom graphics from you!

Happy 2015!

From '08 to '12 ~ Developing a Spiritual Successor

Looking forward to this! :)

It feels like its been ages since I've played one of your games.

Happy New Year from the FFD team!

Happy New Year! (7:19 pm in California)

"Elaboration" will arrive in the coming days. :)

I figured I'd go ahead and ask how much should it cost to have someone draw enemy designs?

If the work or project interests me personally, then I'll work at a discount. Otherwise, I usually charge $25-30 for an hour's worth of work.

Other factors also influence the inflation or deflation of my base rate.

Dynamic poses, color, complexity of design, presence of backgrounds, high res = higher cost

Static poses, lineart, simplicity of design, absence of clothing, low res = lower cost.

Hah. Lyra's chest ended up a bit bigger this time around after I decided on giving her a corset. I literally rewatched some clips of Disney's 90s Three Musketeers to get an idea of how explosive those things can make a bust seem. :O

Speaking of explosive, I've been trial and erroring some new graphics for the last two days and my eyeballs feel like they're bleeding. I've gone back to parallaxing some unfinished maps for the moment to give my poor retinas and psyche a rest.

@Amaterasu Thanks! That isn't Yuna, haha.

@WCouillard Oooh, level and job class at the bottom right now. Very nice!

@Noel Well, I guess its about time to see how well you did on your first round of guesses.

Here are the ones you got incorrect or were missing (with hints in parentheses).

Row 1 - #2 (FF Discovery)
Row 2 - #2 (FF8), #3 (Dimensions)
Row 3 - #1 (FF2 + original twist), #2 (FF14), #3 (FF2 + original twist), #6 (FF4)
Row 4 - #1 (FF6 + original twist), #2 (FF6), #3 (FF6 + original twist), #4 (FF6), #5 (FF2 + original twist), #8 (FF8 - which member?)
Row 6 - #3 (FF9), #7 (FF Discovery)

Good luck!

Yep! That's not Leon, haha. If it were, he'd be wearing heavier armor (as is customary for the knights of Ivalice). That character is from Tycoon, which is a real fancy pants kind of baroque influenced kingdom. (Just look at Lyra's clothing!)

The woman next to the "Edgar" isn't from FFX. :)

One thing to remember... and its something I mentioned from before. The cameos are their own characters within the world of Gaia Discovery. Sure, there are a lot of visual similarities (in some cases, glaringly so), but they're all denizens of this particular game world that we've crafted and they all have specific roles that exceed that of throwaway cameos.

Hahah... take a closer look at the last guy. He's using a base art from an already existing character. I'm glad you used the word 'mesmerizing' since I think that adequately sums up his ability to woo women.

I still await the day that I open up my inbox to see a colored Leon art. That one has always been my favorite (it's NOT Leon in the image above, BTW). :D


One day my friend. One day, haha. :D

Nice work Noel! You've always been our biggest and most hardcore fan, haha. :)

I kind of pulled the 80% out of my thin air not realizing how many of these characters were of my own original design or were creatively interpreted from *extremely small* 16 bit/blurry low-res 32 bit graphics. You did a pretty awesome job (although you had some a little help from a few months ago, haha) considering that. I'm not going to say which ones you got right or wrong though (or half right/wrong) in case anyone else wants to hazard some guesses.

P.S. Too bad you're not that big of a fan of the new Vicks. I think she looks much improved now over her past version. Maybe it'll look better once the portrait is colored. On the brighter side, Lyra looks more attractive than ever! (Same with Jihl and Fang... I had a great time drawing them)

William's favorite might still be the guy who *may or may not* be King Edgar Figaro. :)

Early Xmas pressie from me to you.

Sweet! I'll give this a try later.
