Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Grand re-Opening of the fan art column! I am pleased to present you the selection of artwork for this first week of my job here. Of course there are many more artworks in the queue and I chose the older ones first while trying to keep some variety. If you have sent some art in the past weeks and months, I have most likely contacted you and your art will be shown sooner or later. If, however, you have sent in something and didn't receive an e-mail, please resubmit it; it might have been lost.

This week, Noreen Rana gives us a sweet and peaceful-looking picture of Zelda sitting under a tree. Ace proposes a moment of tenderness with Balthier and Fran in a warm and colorful digital drawing. Next up is our first Blue Dragon fan art for the column by Twin Angels. It might strike you as odd, but I really like the subtle textures on Jessica Channer's illustration of Irenes from Chrono Cross, especialy on the tail and armor. The last picture for this week is by Lackshmana and features Ernst and Norma from Suikoden V. Ernst's half-closed eyes and smirk give him a lot of personality don't you think?

Please, send in more fan art! Although I already have some images in the mail box, don't hesitate to send more my way. Just as a reminder, the submission form is always at the top right corner of the page if you need it. I will be waiting for your art. If you have any questions or need some help or advice for a drawing, please send me a letter and I'll see what i can do for you. Have a nice week everyone!
