Description
The title sums this one up nicely. This year marks the 30th aniversary of the Final Fantasy games and I decided to do another tribute picture featuring all 15 main games. Have fun hunting down all the characters, I'm not putting out a character list for this one (too bloody long).Starting at the top and going clockwise is a segment for each of the FF games featuring the game's crystal (or nearest thing to a crystal in some cases), main party memebers, main or memorable villains. In a few cases there are also miscellaneous creatures.
The next ring in features just about all the summons from all of the games. I never noticed just how many bloody summons FFVI has.
The central ring features Cosomos and Chaos. Although, strictly speaking, they aren't from any of the numbered games they do appear in a few spin off titles that tie in all the games from the Final Fantasy universes. They also represent light/dark. If you squint you might also notice that all of the heroes are aligned the same was as Cosmos and likewise the villains are aligned with Chaos.
I started the line art around mid January and it's finally done! Next step will be colouring this sucker. At the moment the plan is to colour the original line art. I used a waterproof pen and the paper is just thick enough to withstand watercolours + pencils. Also plan to use gold ink to highlight the bounding lines. Might also use the colours from each of the games' logos as a background colour for their respective segments.

Holy mega detail bonanza!!!
There are times when determination, patience and the joy of creating makes a major joint effort, and this is certainly one of those. This is so impressive!
How big is it? A3? A2?

The original size is a bit smaller than A1. The colouring is coming along... a bit slower than the line art. I'll be sure to break up the tedium with other projects. Kinda feel like doing another pencil picture at some point.

Ooohh... A1, that's BIG. (I have yet to try that size.)
Good luck with the colouring. I hope it turns out as planned and envisioned.

Just a word of warning- it is hell to scan.

I bet it is.
I usually break up any A2 format into 6 separate scans (on a regular A4 sized scanner) - an A1 must be something like 8 or 9 scans. A "fun" puzzle to work with I'm sure.

I'll put up with a lowish res scan from the local print shop for the coloured version.

The trick is to have breaks and work on a different picture every so often.

I can relate fellow. I mean to make it in a row it would be madness.
