Description My favorite of the FF IV sketches, this one's of the grumpy old engineer, Cid. When I think of all the Cids in this series of games, HE's the one which fits the bill the most. (Sorry, XIII's bishi Cid does NOT cut it for me.)

You want a manly Cid? THIS is the one! HARHARHAR XDDD
Nice sketch. The thing I always remember about this Cid is the huge smile on his sprite avatar xD

Yes indeed... when I think of what CID is in the FF universe, that one is the benchmark. I hate 13's Cid... he's a bishi! Cid is NOT a professor... he's NOT a foul-mouthed pilot... he's a cranky, old engineer!

The only Cid close enough is the FF7 Cid. Engineer and pilot. But only the FF4 one is THE Cid.

Same here! I always think of Cid from FFIV when it comes to Cid in general. I LOVE the action shot here!

Thanks for all the comments!

I actually had you in mind when I did all those. I will eventually make it to Rydia and Rosa soon.

OMG, really?! That would be absolutely amazing. You are the coolest ever! It's so hard to meet someone NOT on the computer who truly appreciates Final Fantasy IV. I can't wait to see how you render Rydia and Rosa in your style. Don't forget Yang! FFIV for the DS truly changed my perception on Yang forever!

Yeah, Yang got some nice development on the DS version. Amazingly enough, when I did those sketches at FreeCon last week, I got a lot of recognition, believe it or not.

Guess IV is more loved than you think.!

Where was this con that you went to?

Yeah! I wish these people would come into Gamestop and chat with me about it, instead of Naruto games or Call of Duty. Ugh! Most of the folks who come in are not really RPG fans.

FreeCon was at FSU student center last week.

If you're curious, I'll be at Ancient City Con doing an artist's alley table on July 10-11 at the Hyatt in downtown Jax. (ancientcitycon.com)

There's also EXP con at the World Golf Village October 8-10 (www.expcon.org/) — I'll be at my gf's table, sketching while she sells her kanzashi goodness.

Also, I'm an artist on Free Comic Book Day (Saturday, May 1) at Gotham City Limits comics on Southside Blvd.

Any of these events may find you some fellow geeks to chat with. I'm also open for commissions (insert shameless plug here )

...Did you say Gotham City Limits?! That's the comic book store I go to every week!! Wow, I guess I'll see ya again real soon then! You must know Donnie then.

Hehe, commissions...yes, I'm trying to go that way myself.

Yes indeed, I know Donnie quite well. He's a good friend of mine.

That's awesome. Btw, you haven't come by the store since we initially met. Do you live off Southside or were you just in the area? I live in the Southside area but I drive over there to work.

I live off of Hodges actually — so close. I work in PVB, which is why I stopped by the store that night. Sorry I haven't dropped by, I usually zip in/out of that center for lunch, and I wasn't sure when you worked.

It's okay! I was just curious. I work all sorts of odd hours because of retail, but if you ever see a white Beetle in the parking lot with a red Horde sticker on it, that means I'm working.

I could care less really... I don't play WOW. My gf is a WOW widow. I prefer not to support that game.

Yes, honestly, don't get into it. It will suck your life if you do let it. I love the game, but I actually have not been playing as much as I used to. But I am still faithful to my Horde faction!
