Title: Amazing Art

This picture is not mine.  I found it on deviant art.  But seeing it makes me...  inspired... for all things Chrono.

Besides Frog's armor seeming a bit bulky, it is indeed kickass. Maybe link to the artist's Deviant Art...?

I see your CT sketch Boo, and I'll raise you this (also not mine):

I like that one too... But not as much.  I loved the other picture due to it's "realism" approach.

This is one of the few depictions of Magus that still impresses me each time I see it.

I didn't think the first pic was a "realism" approach...It was just a different anime style. Maybe the word "detailed" would be more accurate. I kind of like the one Tact posted more, actually, oddly enough, except for how Frog looks. I think Frog is just a character that suits Toriyama's style and much divergence at all from that and it just ends up looking wonky...The one Kebrel posted is nice, but Magus' lips are weird and his proportions are off as well...

Yeah, detailed works better...

But instead of "realistic" I should have said "detailed".  I love the way Robo and Frog look in that one.  I love the proportions...  And I love the redesigned "Frog head".  Sort of reminds me of this 80's film called "The Frog Prince" with Helen Hunt.  Obviously based off the Frog Prince fairy tail.

Oh yeah, the Frog in the pic Tact showed reminds me of those Arnold Lobel "Frog & Toad" children's books kind of...Maybe that's why I didn't like it...??? >_>

Those books used to scare me to no end.

Always been one of my favorite CT pics on Deviantart...(except Magus looks rather strange...)

Magus looks like Captain Kirk to me in that picture...

Err...he does, a little. LIke I said, he looks rather strange...

I don't see Captain Kirk there.  But that doesn't mean you can't!

I don't see Kirk in it either...but Magus is, like, smiling, and that's a no-go for me. His waist is kind of skewed too...I never thought of Ayla's Fist weapons like that either...I thought of the Iron & Bronze fists as being more her power level increases so much that the toughness of her physical fists becomes stronger...

I love the style of Crono, Lucca & Marle though...wish there was a version of that pic w/just those three...

Anyone have any art of Robo with his "vents" out or w/e...? Y'know, when he does that thing in-game? I think that's what could give artists the most & best opportunity to play with his character, since mostly you don't get to change much on him. What his "guts", or internal systems look like could be interesting to see what various artists come up with...if there isn't any art, there should be...maybe a Compendium sponsored friendly competition or something...get some of these Deviant artists involved (I'd especially love to see what that scorn maniac person who did that first pic would do with it)...
