As I sit here writing this column, I have exactly three more days until I go back for my final semester at community college. However, I doubt this time my mental capacity will degenerate into that of a babbling maniac that rocks back and forth in the nearest corner singing to himself. Enough about me, let's dive headfirst into the shallow end of the swimming pool of this week's column.

Ace starts our fan art out with 4 contributions. While I have to say all the pieces are very colorful, I can't help but imagine that Fran x Balthier will garner a lot of attention for some of the audience with a bit of an extreme fondness for the smug gunslinger. Fabrune rounds out the closing submission with a simple, yet dramatic, pencil drawing of Nel from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.

That's it for this week, but always remember to check back next time for more fan art and submit your own work to be shown.
