While video games may be the form of art many of us are most passionate about, ever since being first introduced to the internet, I’ve been following and browsing artists of all kinds so I wanted to open a thread where we could share official concept art, fan art, or even non-gaming related artists.

I purchased this box set years ago of Amano’s work at a convention for $50 and I’ve still yet to read it because I told myself I wouldn’t until I had played through the FF series (at least the ones covered in the books). I have not completed that goal yet (currently on FFIII) but I’ll get there some day!
I did read a non-FF book of his called Faeries that depicts literature inspired works so if you’re interested in exploring his non-FF work, I’d recommend it.
Wow. These are mesmerizing. Absolutely incredible. I love trees and the moon so these are perfect. I need to play through that series too.
EDIT: The sprawl of detailed trees reminds me of Kentaro Miura’s work a bit. I couldn’t find an exact panel of his that’s similar but maybe these are comparable.
I’ve finally been able to track down a book on the art of Stanisław Szukalski, an amazing Polish artist and sculptor. Like many he wasn’t appreciated during his life and a whole warehouse of his work was destroyed when the Nazis bombed Poland.
His work is fascinating though. Never seen anything else quite like it. There’s a really great documentary on Netflix called Struggle about him if anyone is interested.
Inner Portraits by Szukalski himself. There is also a book called Struggle that was released to coincide with the documentary that’s much easier to find. It’s pretty good, too.
