Japanese fanart sites: part 4

This is probably the last update for Japanese fanart sites that are hopefully link-free. Again, if you have other sites to recommend, please let me know!

Sky Lodge by maiyue

FFT, FF12. Beautiful watercolor and digital paintings in rich colors. I guess technically this is not a Japanese site, but it is a must-see!

ジャポニカラクガキチョウ by アスパラ

FFT. Graceful painterly sketches, plus a game blog with sketches of many NPCs. Also, an amazingly beautiful and sad animation of the epilogue. One of my faves!

Pine-Pinx by sueble

FFT, FF12, Vagrant Story. There's only 1 FFt fanart, but this artist has such lovely delicate paintings, I'll link it anyways!

APM by タカオ

FFT, FFTA, others. The artist has a cute retro style, sparkly-eyed and absolutely precious. Colorful art and oekaki that you just have to see.

mangetsu-an by mangetsu

FFT, FF12. Wonderfully rendered digital paintings and sketches, dreamy and natural. Actually, you'll have to search for FFT, but just enjoy the other fanarts!

7m by 藤縄
This last site I'm not sure about linking... I am terrible at Japanese so I'll not link it for now. Too bad! Because it was really funny and cute.

Japanese fanart sites: part 3

Well, many of these sites haven't been updated in a while, but they still have lots of pretty art for those of you who are looking for more Tactics fanworks.


89 by ひたき
Tactics, Advanced. Cute sketchy style with soft colors, be sure to check the logs for tons more funny doodles.


okoanism by おこあん
Tactics. Very bold semi-realistic style, like graphic design. Lots of character and generic class sketches to delight your eyes!


e倉庫 by 藤沢 明
Tactics, Advanced. Bold lineart and bright colors, with a really unique SD. Lots of generic class and old-man art that never fail to amuse me.

Tactics, Advanced, 12. Funny and adorable drawings with bright colors and a fresh vibrant flair.


RMKYU by きゅきゅ
Tactics. Cute sketches and comics that I wish I could read better! Lots of Ramza love = awesome.

Japanese fanart sites: part 2

Tactics and XII. Elegant lineart with a beautiful painterly style, reminiscent of antique watercolors. One of my favorites, from China.


Wistarial by Touru

Mitsuboshi by 星風スイ
Tactics Advanced and XII art with a little Tactics thrown in. Humorous and lovely watercolor style, very unique.

花斑月 by かのこ
Tactics, Advanced, XII. Lots of fanart from all 3 series, sensual and softly colored. I wish I could be this prolific and talented!


+ silk + by ふじやひよこ
Tactics, Advanced, Advanced 2. Lots of adorable art and comics! Check out the log and the chocobos made of food, there is so much cuteness on this site, it hurts.


趣味端座 by konton
Tactics, Advanced, Advanced 12. A very clean, sharp style with amazing coloring. Covers many FF series in a signature look.

English links and more Ivalice cosplay!

My friend and I dressed as Moogles from Final Fantasy 12 and Tactics. Here I am as a gunner in my terrorist sniper ensemble! I have no idea why we decided to do these costumes, but they turned out really super cute for being ghetto and crafty. I made those bullets out of cardboard, paint and tape.

So here are some English links for those of you who habla ingles. Not a huge collection, as you can see. I am aware of a few English-speaking FFT artists, but their presence outside of Deviantart and Livejournal is minimal so I don't want to link their stuff right now...
FFTactics: Livejournal community for Final Fantasy Tactics, duh. Intermittent activity.
Ivalice_fans: news about the latest Ivalice Alliance games and its Deviantart club.
Ivalice Atelier: community for fanart based on Ivalice and classic art!

Ultima Edition: graphics and info for almost the entire game (1st version.)

Japanese fanart sites

This is for my own reference, some banner links to Japanese sites with Tactics/Advance/XII fanart. I was hoping to find other overseas fanart sites, but apparently not. For any of you who want to view these sites, have Japanese fonts available and of course, don't take any artwork w/out permission. The last thing I want is for these sites to close down because of my linking to them.


Ensemble by Azryu
Tactics, Advance, Advance 2. Very cute artwork faithful to the original style, mostly concerning gameplay, story characters and original generics.


Roda de Estrela by Nasu
Tactics, Advance, 12. A gorgeous unique style of painting, some cute stuff as well.


Astro Scope by 弓月 愛
Tactics. Hasn't been updated in a while, but has a large gallery of beautiful art faithful to the style. Also contains flash and flash games?


Hanairomoyo by 昼田
Tactics, Advance, 12. Elegant anime style fanart with cel-shading. Only a couple of Tactics, some 12, but very cute and purty!


Sasuraiyokotyou by Watami
Tactics, Advance. Adorable fanart, with beautifully painted cast pictures and quite a few cute drawings of the generic classes.


Toritoto by Hana
Tactics, Advance, Advance 2. Lovely and adorable painted/CG style, I think the the 10 year anniversary comic is the cutest thing to have ever cuted.


BUZZ by 極
Tactics. Amazing b/w sketches and painterly style. Lots of SD and AU art of the less-popular characters as well! Chibi-Weigraf blows my mind...


cor by 小町あんこ
Tactics, Advance. The front page has tons of cute and pretty fanart from various games in a vibrant and original style.

Brigand's Den

Ramza is at level 8 right now and I am about to fight the Brigand's Den battle with Mileuda. Unfortunately, my thief hasn't gotten the "steal" abilities yet, so I think I will level up some more even though the items I want to gank may be available after the battle.

I noticed the introduction has changed from a slideshow of the zodiac stones to a somewhat eerie animation of black and white unfurling vines. I have no idea what the significance of this change is, possibly something to do with the other Ivalice games that I have yet to play or maybe part of the Ivalice Alliance theme.

The change of the ability names has been a little confusing. Not that the original translation was perfect, but I have already gotten a few skills mixed up with each other because the names are now more ambiguous, hah hah. Oops.

Anyways, the link of the day is of course, my own FFT fanlisting! Over 1200 members! Please join!
