In order to make Final Fantasy VIII: The Adventure Continues the best and most exciting place for Final Fantasy VIII I need your help. Most specifically, I need an anime artist, or someone who can draw quality anime style renderings of characters and Final Fantasy VIII related elements or material. I'm sorry to say that I can't pay you, but I will recognize you as being Chief Art Assistant on the Contributors Page and your renderings will be part of something that will be seen by potentially millions of people (nice on a resume). You really must just help because you enjoy Final Fantasy rather then expect compensation for it. I want this site to stand as a monument to great game, and you gamers and artists can help.

Tryouts for the Chief Art Assistant will begin on June 1 and will end September 1 (unless I extend the date). I will choose an artist based on the quality of work I see. Please send all files in .jpg or .gif format to ease the footprint they make in my mailbox. These should all be done on a white background. Make sure the files are properly attached to the E-mail so that I will be able to view them. Feel free to be creative and most importantly have fun.

Furthermore, if you feel you have something that is worthy of being part of the greatest internet Final Fantasy VIII experience i.e. music, images, art, information, etc. than feel free to send it along and I, Video Gamer X, will take a look at it. I want this to be an interactive site, like Odyssey, that will make you feel at home and enjoy being here.

I look forward to your support in these matters and I hope that through our collaboration we gamers and Final Fantasy fans can have a place to call home. Thanks for taking the time to read this letter and please enjoy the site.
