Crimson Echoes character portraits -- the CE Team wants YOUR feedback!

Kebrel...

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? 'Tis the essence of perfection, and mine eyes wish to see more.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

I hear ya, FaustWolf...

Where's that from?  It looks... cool.

[Kebrel]

I have been looking for a full book, but have yet to find it. I found that and a few other here, many of you guys are familiar with them.

[FaustWolf]

Thanks for the lead, Kebrel! We shall have to track this "1995" doujin down, if that's even the name.

And -- Final Fantasy VI page, sixth image down...Lock Cole just became my co-favorite FFVI character, tieing with Celes. I never knew he could be that badass.

EDIT: I think the "1995" pic and the "2005" pic are from the same author. They seem to have subtitles, or perhaps these are the actual titles: "Chrono Trigger Book 36th" and "Chrono Trigger Book 37th."

[ZealKnight]

Ok, heres one for Ayla. And I like the demo two pick for Marle.

[V_Translanka]

That's from one of the anime sequences too, ZealKnight...>_>

[ZealKnight]

I know but i looked around and its really my favorite head shot of her

[V_Translanka]

Yeah, but dude just said how he wanted it to showcase fanart...

[nightmare975]

There's a pic of Ayla on Uncyclopedia that could be used...

Don't click here! NSFW! DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!

[FaustWolf]

Noooooo~!

*washes retinas out with some lolcats*

Judging the artwork on its stylistic merits and not on prudishness, however, I'd prefer to find pics in which the ladies' mouths aren't stupidly hanging open if possible. Boy, do they look surprised that whatever the hell they were about to do in private has been interrupted by the viewer.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

I just thought they were drugged.  Thus their behavior!

[MagilsugaM]

What about this one

[attachment deleted by admin]

[FaustWolf]

Excellent example MagilsugaM, I haven't seen that one before. Is there a specific fanart site where you found that?

[V_Translanka]

Yeah, that one's nice, I like the style, but it's like they made Ayla's hair just teased instead of full-on curls...Which I'm not saying is a bad thing...It'd probably still fit the sprite, right?

[FaustWolf]

I'm going to throw up a link to the companion thread I've got going at ChronoShock. I'd especially like opinions on the pics Magus' Child links on page #3 -- they're very high-quality doujinshi for the most part, although most are in black and white.

I might as well start a thread at ChronoCrisis Forums as well, since the Shock thread turned up some nice stuff.

Note that ChronoShock members have a peculiar habit of referring to themselves in the third person. FaustWolf hopes he won't pick it up -- d'oh!

Also note, after this goes on for awhile I'll get the very best arts together and we can have a vote-off. How much should we worry about stylistic consistency though? For example, it is foreseeable that we might end up with some CuteLucca pics and then a sample of Marle from that really awesome doujin Kebrel posted earlier, and then a completely different style for Ayla. Would this be a concern?
